Its the size that is a factor for me. The Galaxy Buds are small. Ive seen other iterations of wireless buds in peoples ears and like the IQbuds they stick out more than I would like. Again...the IQbuds have the added amplification that Galaxys dont. The tap touch options for IQbuds are better...but for the purpose of using wireless earbuds for everyday functionality without hearing issues...GBuds are superior in my opinion. The sound quality is as expected...decent but not blowing the mind. With a $200 or less price tag I can see why some posters question the decision to axe the Lives. That said...go into a JB Hi Fi and the earbud section is saturated with competition.
