Calls out in noisy environments sound too quite; Special features are limited to Galaxy smartphones; Speech recognition is finnicky under some circumstances

Slowly but surely I'm developing into an earbud junkie who prefers having something on my ears all day. Headphones, anti-noise cancellation, music, phone calls, the list goes on.

Nice; balanced sound; Effective ANC and ambient noise modes; Great deal of features; Good call quality; IPX7 certification

Many features are Samsung-exclusive; Does not fit well; especially during conversations; Operation can get too complicated

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro is an impressive advancement in features, capabilities and comfort over its predecessors. The price point is still cheaper than many competing wireless earbuds from specialist manufacturers while still offering effective active noise cancellation, a competent Ambient audio...

Useful Intelligent ANC; Water resistant IPX7 design; Great audio quality; Outstanding microphone quality

Works best with Samsung phones; Average battery life; No dust resistance

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are decent for mixed use. They're comfortable, portable, and have a stable fit, which makes them a suitable choice for physical exercise. They also have an ANC feature that can help cut down office chatter around you.

Can isolate ambient chatter; Comfortable and well-built design; EQ presets available.

Mic has poor noise handling; Sub-par battery performance; No multi-device or NFC pairing.

No matter the very capable wireless earbuds options already available for Android users, there has always been the case of looking towards the Apple AirPods Pro with a bit of envy, for the feature set it brings to the table and the performance it delivers.

Improved passive and active noise canceling; comfortable lightweight design; voice detection for ambient sound activation; nice price

Mediocre battery life; somewhat limited touch controls; Bixby is the only natively supported digital assistant

A huge step up from the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro offer better sound and microphone quality with multipoint pairing and spatial audio support. They don’t offer the same level of noise cancellation as over-ear headphones or the sound quality of high-end earbuds, but for their price they offer just enough of both to be competitive.

IPX7 waterproof; Basic noise cancellation; Simple touch controls;

Flat, cramped sound; No Google Assistant / Siri support; Bulge out of the ear

The Galaxy Buds Pro are a premium package, with a decent fit combined with top-notch sound, active noise-cancellation, and smart features that make that ANC seamless to use.

Intelligent ANC; IPX7 water-resistance; Excellent audio; Wireless charging;

Some features limited to Samsung phones; Fiddly touch controls;

How you judge these 'buds will likely come down to what you find the most important. Call quality is great, but the active noise-cancelling (ANC) isn't the best available. But there's lots of tech in these compact headphones, which offer good all-round performance.

Great call quality; Good wind reduction; Compact form and case; Lots of tech options; Good sound quality; Water-resistant;

Noise cancelling is not the best; Control customisation could be better;

Samsung has had some ups and downs with true wireless earphones, as evidenced by the recent Galaxy Buds Live, which offer a striking bean-like design that works counterintuitively to their active noise cancellation. The new Galaxy Buds Pro ($199.99) don't look quite as unique, but they allow for an in-ear seal that makes for improved noise cancellation and sound quality. They're also completely waterproof, as compared with the merely water-resistant Galaxy Buds Live. That said, the noise cancellation here doesn't live up to the standards set by the AirPods Pro or the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, and you really need a Galaxy phone to get the most out of the experience.A Better Design The Galaxy Buds Pro look understated and elegant. Each earpiece is a simple bud with a nozzle on one end for holding a silicone eartip (three pairs of different sizes are included), and a rounded, pearlescent touch panel on the back. Two ambient microphones, a pinhole voice mic, and a slightly larger gri...
