    There is a TLDR at the end for those of you that got scared clicking read more and see a wall of text appear on your screen. Since there's a lot I have to say about these headphones, grab some popcorn, a soda, and strap in.
    As a forward, I have only tried these for a few hours, so I will update this post if my opinions change at all.
    Some initial things to get out of the way, I am by no means an experienced audiophile. I do enjoy the many different aspects of audio though. I love the character of vinyl and have tried many different headphones over the years. By many, I mean dozens, as I have a very weirdly shaped ear canal that has trouble getting in-ear headphones to fit correctly. My main daily pair of headphones is the second-gen Airpods since they are the only thing that fit my ear well. I also have a pair of Skullcandy Crushers for when I want a pair of car subs attached to my ears and Jaybird X3's with Comply tips for skating and exercising. My testing device is a Note 20 Ultra, using Spotify set to the extreme quality setting (320kbps to my knowledge).

    FIT AND COMFORT
    This category is incredibly subjective, as everyone's ears are different. I will say, however, that this is the first pair of in-ear headphones that fit my incredibly weird ears out of the box!!! I've done the shake test and they stay pretty well in there. Comfort is a 5/5

    DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY
    The design and build are top-notch on these buds. The case feels incredibly solid and is about the same size as the case on my Airpods (the buds case is slightly thicker). The buds themselves look great and the mirror finish is nice to look at. Overall, very well designed and built and thusly, gets a 5/5.

    SOUND QUALITY
    Another bit of forwarding before I jump in, this is another subjective category. I am sensitive to "bright" headphones (where the highs or treble are too high and sound painful to my ear) and steer away from them as soon as I notice them. I am only going to be commenting on certain tracks and genres that I enjoy and actively listen to.
    I am blown away from the raw quality of the sound coming out of these! I had the Airpods Pro for a bit, and these sound similar but tuned for a tad more bass. This is exactly what I was looking for. You also have a couple of preset EQ options to tune it more to your liking or listening habits for the day. I'm hoping adjustable EQ support comes in the future to help dial in the sound signature to your liking. I'll break down each track and categorize it by genre.

    -ELECTRONIC/HOUSE/OTHER SUB-GENRES
    Transformer by Moog: I chose this track to see if the backing cymbal can be heard amidst the rest of the song. It's very clear, along with the rest of the track. Bass also sounds very nice, not overdone, and very tight and punchy. Clarity and great bass quality will be a reoccurring character in this segment.

    -ROCK/METAL
    I Love You to Death by Family Force 5: (This is the song I used for the shake test.) This is a track that I like to crank and test the audio quality at high volume. I can confirm that these buds sound just as good at high volumes. The cymbals don't destroy my ears, the guitars are very clear, and SGA's screams are great.

    Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers: This is another track that regularly gets cranked. Flea's bass sounds perfect and once again, clear as day. The drums also sound killer.

    -RAP
    Jump by Mac Miller: I chose this track to hear how clear and tight the bass was. The bassline on this one can sound very different depending on what headphones you use. It's tight and punchy with these. Clarity was also strong on this one.

    Bless Yo Trap by Smokepurpp: This song is perfect for its incredibly heavy (but well-produced) bass. This track through the Crushers will literally shake my head, it's great. These buds handle the drum machine (cymbal perhaps?) in the background very, very well. Most headphones will usually force me to limit the volume because it sounds so shrill. Not on these. I can crank them up and not worry about it. The bass left a bit to be desired... Until I used the bass booster EQ, which as you can probably guess, upped the bass and still sounded punchy and tight. Well done.

    Big Fish by Vince Staples: I also tested the bass booster EQ on this one. I noticed when it was enabled, it started to eat into the clarity of the mids a bit. Without the EQ it sounds crystal clear.

    Where I'm From by Digable Planets: This song's nice short bassline can sound different depending on your headphones. Very accurate and well-controlled bass on this one.

    -CLASSICS
    Rocket 69 by Todd Rhodes: This is the "make it or break it" moment for figuring out if headphones are too "bright" for me. Todd's vocals, along with the amazing sax solo can destroy my ears on some headphones. These handle this track PERFECTLY. Everything seems very well controlled and balanced. These buds produce a fantastic sound, without over-emphasizing any one aspect of the sound profile. Bass is nice and subdued (you could be surprised with what the Crushers do to this track) and the highs are not shrill or painful to my ears. The mids sound crisp and clear.

    -POP/NOT SURE THE GENRE
    Sit Next to Me by Foster the People: I was surprised by this track. I never noticed the bass guitar before. This is when I realized how much I was missing using the Airpods. Everything is so well defined and the stereo separation is perfect. Not much else to say about this one, as everything about it sounds great.

    -COUNTRY
    What Was I Thinkin' by Dierks Bentley: This track was another case of pure clarity. I could easily hear and discern every instrument and they were separated perfectly. A joy to listen to on these. Nothing was overblown on this one either, the bass might be a bit too high, but it's so tight that it adds to the sound in my opinion.

    All of these tracks sound great to my ear and easily get a 5/5

    MEDIA CONTROLS
    Finally, something I dislike about these headphones. The single tap to pause/play a track works just fine. If you try to double-tap to skip/replay it is incredibly hit or miss. I'm not sure if this can be solved through software, or if my finger just doesn't hit the touch surface as well as it would like. Usually what ends up happening is, I double-tap to skip a track and it registers it as one tap, thus pausing my music. I then double-tap again to try to get it to skip and it just starts playing where it left off. Finally, on the third time, it will skip the track. Adjusting the buds usually ends up registering as a tap and will also usually pause your music, just trying to get it pressed in your ear better. It also does this sometimes when you initially take out the buds from the case and put it in your ear. It's a big pain in the butt right now and gets a 2/5

    NOISE CANCELING
    Don't buy these for some Bose or Airpod Pro level ANC. They're good at sound isolation when you're playing something, but pausing a track won't leave you saying "wow" like with the Airpod Pros. The only testing I've done so far with the noise canceling is cleaning around the house and listening to them while typing up this review. When a track is playing I can't hear my keyboard, but paused they're just about as clear as having the ambient sound mode on. I'll conduct further testing on these and report back with my findings. For now, it gets a 1/5.
    (UPDATE: I've done some testing outside with them now and they are pretty good at blocking the lower frequencies. It takes a little bit for the noise canceling algorithm to catch up with the noise around you, but I would say it blocks out somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60% of the noise around you. It also is great at removing wind noise at moderate speeds. Based on these new findings, it gets a 3/5. Not great, but not terrible or useless either.)

    AMBIENT MODE
    I'm happy to see that someone has finally implemented a function that allows the ambient mode to auto switch to on when you're speaking to someone. It's worked perfectly from the testing I've done so far. The ambient mode also sounds almost as good as the Airpod Pros' function. It works well, thus netting a 5/5

    CONCLUSION
    I am simply blown away by these headphones. So much so, that I spent nearly 2 hours writing this review. They do almost everything they set out to do exceedingly well. I am hoping that future software updates will fix the issues that I currently have with them. I will be replacing my Airpods with these and will be recommending them to my friends. Well done Samsung, you have a real winner on your hands.

    Well, that wraps it up. For the TLDR readers out there: they sound amazing, ANC and touch controls suck majorly right now, the build and comfort are perfect, and I would easily recommend them.

    What an amazing set of earbuds, these are definitely an upgrade to the original Galaxy Buds (1st Gen), and those were amazing sounding headphones on their own right too. But these pro versions, wow, they blow those out of the water....

    Now at first I wasn't really able to notice the quality of the audio, I felt they were about the same as my original buds, boy was I wrong, not only these provide superior audio quality, these buds can literally pickup sounds that I wasn't able to hear before in my older Galaxy Buds, instruments that I didn't know that were there....a perfect example was Dream Theater - Octavarium....try listening to that song with these buds, the first 3 minutes will leave you in a trans-like state, orchestral basically, the sound is rich and just beautiful....

    ANC works pretty well imo, it blocks out sound very effectively and you have the choice of two settings, low or high. I usually keep mine at high sense I work as a crossing guard, and I have to be outside several hours at a time listening to cars roaring past me, ANC takes care of that problem it makes a world of difference, I can barely hear any cars passing by me with ANC activated, all I hear is the music....

    As for voice activated, its kind of a hit and miss for me, it activates when it detects or hears your voice and lowers down the volume of your music as well as automatically activating ambient sound so you can hear the other person you are speaking with, what I find odd though is it doesn't seem to activate when that person speaks to you first or asks you a question, literally you have to be the one to speak first in order for it to activate.....it can also be very interruptible at times, don't start singing along with any of your tunes because Voice Activated will kick in. EVERY. TIME. WITHOUT FAIL....if you are going to start a conversation you are still better off just removing your left or your right ear bud just to have a normal conversation with someone and just leave voice detect off....

    Ambient sound works very well and you have the choice of 4 settings from low to very high, I would suggest you leave it at high max, trust me you don't need it any higher than that ambient sounds works very well and it will pick up everything around you, if you work at an office ambient sound would be a very important feature for you imo....

    Very solid build quality, not too big of a fan of the Matt finish though (can be slippery, take caution), but if you hate fingerprints no worries you wont see any of them on these puppies, for such a small case and well thick enough buds, they are surprisingly heavy, it's understandable though, there is so much tech packed in such a small form factor it's no wonder they are slightly heavy, I think it has to do with the magnets, the magnets on these are a huge step up compared to the past buds, very strong your buds will not fall off the case that easy you have to deliberately shake them VERY HARD in order to send them flying....

    As for the buds themselves well, they are pretty comfortable, somewhat, idk maybe I'm just going crazy but these are not exactly perfect fit I feel like the first gen buds had the right fit for me, these overtime start to hurt my ears a little bit, never had this problem with the older buds so idk guess it has to do with my ears, I think I just need bigger rubber tips and the largest ones that it came with are just not large enough to provide a better seal, why can't I use my older tips from my first gen buds? or even other tips that are out there? I just don't understand why Samsung didn't make the tips universal on these buds, these tips have a weird proprietary, idk, is connection the right word? anyways, the tips that it came with are solely and only for these buds so do not lose em, I cant find any replacements for these, eBay has some, but they are those foam ones and I don't like the foam ones...way to pull an Apple Samsung....why on earth was that a good idea? just make them universal so I can easily replace these things whenever I want...anyways moving along (sorry that was just a gripe I had)

    Controls seem pretty straight forward, if you are coming from the original buds like me you will become instantly familiar with them....tap once pause, tap twice skip track, tap three times previous track....you get the idea....

    (I only had these buds for like two days so sadly I haven't been able to test call quality with these, mainly I have just been using them for music, as intended)

    In conclusion, there is alot more to these buds I can go on about but in all honesty this will turn into a very long review so I'm just gonna go straight to the point...ahem....BUY THESE....even if you have to use a credit card just, just buy them they are that good and worth every penny....not even the Air-pods Pro can step up with these buds not to mention 50 dollars cheaper and much more up to date technology that's being offered to you, in other words more bang for your buck, you can't go wrong with these and if you are an audiophile trust me, you will want these.....

    I had the Galaxy Buds Plus (Red) and I bought them in 2020. I was really happy with the overall use, function and feel of the Bud Plus. I ended up (by accident) washing and drying them in the laundry. After that I lost some of the functions of the earbuds. Not an issue with the replacement program that I also purchased with the buds here on Amazon through Asurion protection plan. I was able to replace the defective buds with new ones with absolutely no hassle. I ended up spending an extra $22.00 in the replacement because I re-added the protection plan which why not at this point, i'm a firm believer in service/replacement plans.

    When I ordered these Buds Pro's, I had read about all the current and new earbuds on the market and as I was doing my research, comparing new with the old and feature for feature, my first notice was the battery life is less than the old Bud Plus's. Significantly less out the box but for me that was not an issue to sway me away from the new Bud's Pro. None the less I started looking at other companies and saw reviews about them (other brands) that told me not to really mess with them. Not even worth calling out other brand names as I think that is a personal preference. I have been privy to Samsung brand for years, owning all the Note phones, except the one that blew up (Current Note 20 Ultra owner) and the former Bud Plus.

    When I finally made the decision to go with these Bud Pro's (Black) saw that I could (for no extra cost) get them same day delivered. That was a plus, not that I really needed them same day but thanks for the availability Amazon!! They were late with the delivery but only because we were having a snow storm this day so the 22 minutes later was nothing to trip about. I was just happy that they were safe in traveling and the product arrived undamaged.

    Out the box & Pairing:
    The buds needed to be charged before they could be used, the case had like 30% battery and the buds were at a low 1%. As soon as I opened the case for the buds, my phone alerted me that they were being paired with my phone so I really didn't even need to "Setup" the buds to my phone but only erase the old profile of the Red Buds. They needed to be at at least 15% for my Note 20 Plus to do the update through the Wear app and the total update time was only a few good minutes. Overall I think the first charge only took about an hour and they were ready to go.

    Note of discovery - The Case DOES NOT charge with the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic Magnet Charger as well as the Apple Watch Magnet Charger.

    The Case:
    The case is smaller than the old Bud Plus's which is no big deal. Off top when opening the case I notice that the lid is slightly loose and "Jiggles" around (left to right) a small amount at the hinge. Not a huge deal if all the bud cases come like this, just don't be reckless when handling your product. This is something that I noticed but doesn't make me feel like I got a "cheap" product at all.

    Fitting and Feel:
    Pro's
    I placed the buds in my ear for the first time and they stayed in place and felt fine. I believe they come with the medium rubber attachments already on them. They felt fine but not like my old ones felt. I looked at the other sizes that were provided and none of them felt "perfect" to me. I still had the old red ones from my last pair and thought I would give it a try and see if they fit on them and how they felt in my ears. Well lets just say that here is my first point of criticism; The old bud attachments work and feel better than the new ones provided and I am glad that I held onto them. If not then I would have had way more to say about the feel and comfort levels of these new ones.

    Con's
    - Takes a bit of time to get use to the feel of the new design of these buds and when you pick them up out of the case you feel like you are going to drop them.
    - Placement into your ears takes a bit more time than the Buds Plus, you feel as if you are going to drop them when you are setting them in your ears.
    - The buttons on these are way more reactive and sensitive so be prepared to accidentally pause your media when you try to adjust your buds (unless you have touch block activated)

    Note of discovery - I am going to re-try the provided rubber pieces. I went out to do some snow shoveling and noticed that both the buds seemed to feel loose and I had to adjust them a bunch of times to have them feel like they wouldn't fall out. When I was done with my task and walking back into the garage, one (left bud) actually fell out of my ear. I will try the stock ones again for comfort and proper securement.

    Sound and Clarity:
    Note - I have my EQ setting on the Dynamic setting
    In quite environments - They sound great and have no issues to report with the clarity, volume, bass or overall sound they put out. The new 360 sound feature is something to get use to. It sounds cool and reacts to when you turn your head left or right. Imagine having surround sound speakers jammed into your ears or when if you have that feature (Surround Sound Mode) on a television and you turn it on and everything sounds kinda spread out...That would be the comparison I would use to describe 360 sound mode.

    In a loud environment - They handle really well and you can have them maxed out on volume and you are able to hear your media very clear.

    Con
    - Using the 360 mode with media playing in a loud environment wasn't the best experience for me. With all the movements I was doing it made for me having to "focus" on where the sound was coming from at times and made for more of a distraction. Maybe I will get use to this but I think I will just save that function for quite environment listening.

    Calls:
    In a quite environment - On the receiving end of a call, totally clear and nothing negative to report. You can hear everything that is on the other end of the call in terms of "background" noise but I would say that its nothing to detour you from having a phone conversation. On the callers end, the caller can hear you crystal clear while you are speaking in a normal talking tone without issue. Today and most days I have my ears covered with a hoodie or skull cap which completely covers the ear buds and that played no part in disturbing the functionality of the Buds Pro 👍🏾 the people will still hear you. Another caller reported that until they were told that I was talking through ear buds they thought that I was on the phones regular receiver so no differentiations between the two.

    In a loud environment - You can hear the person on the other end of the phone call just fine over the loud noises that are around you. No worries to not understanding the caller, the buds handle just fine.

    Con's
    - When you have a lot of loud background noises (a running snowblower that you are operating in this case) the caller can't make out all that you are saying (in a "normal" speaking tone) and was reported "Sounds like you are in a tunnel and much harder to hear you." This is something that was reported to me with the old earbuds as well but only after they went through the laundry. I did a "walk away" test from the loud machine and was about 30' away and the caller was able to hear me again just fine, loud and clear. As soon as I walked back up to the machine the same report of not being able to hear me was given.
    - You have to YELL in order for people on the other end of the phone call to hear you. They might not make out what you are trying to say and you will have to repeat yourself.

    Media (Music/Pod Cast/Videos):
    In a quite environment - Sound is great and very clear. The amount of bass is rich and I feel overall a great balance for what they offer. The overall volume seems a bit lower from the previous Buds Plus but I am going off memory of the old buds compared to the new ones. The amount of volume is good enough that you do not need to have the buds all the way up to enjoy the media you are playing. With both buds in you can have the volume set to half or under and still hear very clearly the media you are playing so say if you are in a grocery store and didn't have the ambient sound on but the volume was low to those settings, you would be able to hear your media and surrounding noises just fine.

    In a loud environment - Same as above; They handle very well.

    Multiple Device Connection:
    I was able to connect of course to my phone as a main device, I was also able to connect to my 2019 Macbook Pro without a problem and the sound quality is just a good as when on the phone device. You can control the playback functions and volume from either the laptop or the earbuds. In the future I will be pairing the Buds Pro with other useable devices (Tablets, IPhone) and whatever you can pair to them to see the overall quality.
    I did try to connect them to my VIZIO V-Series - 58" Smart 4K HDR TV and was not successful due to no pairing feature on the TV's end. Also I tried to pair them up with some musical equipment that has Bluetooth capability but was not able to pair them but the equipment saw that they were available. I'm guessing that in the future that feature will be available through Akai Professional.

    Con's
    When playing media through my phone then switching to my laptop you have to manually switch the device in order to play the other source. In the past, being connected to multiple devices, all you would have to do is stop playing one device and start playing the other for the switch to take place. As of right now you have to stop the device that you are playing, then open the bluetooth feature (on the laptop) double click the Bud's Pro in order for the buds to be able to receive the signal for the other "paired" device. And vice versa to switch back from laptop to phone. When I pair my tablet I will try this again and see if its the required method. And after pairing the Bud Pros with my Note Tablet, I have discovered that the above issue is the same and you have to manually switch between both devices to use.

    Talk to text:
    In a quite environment - Just fine with my dialect. You can speak normal speed and the buds catch everything you are saying. in the past and even just on the phone, I have found myself having to speak like a feelingless robot to get the words that I am speaking to be heard correctly and written out. As I am writing this, "I am now using the talk to text function through the computer, with [the] earbuds and everything that I am in sane [saying] right now through the earbuds is being [typed] out for me and I will leave all of the imperfections in this sentence. I am speaking at a normal tone and normal speed and I would say with the couple of imperfections and misspellings that are in brackets above this thing picks up and it takes what you're saying eerily [very] accurate.

    In a loud environment - I can't report anything on this as I have not been in a loud environment to do any of the talk to text yet.

    Con's
    - The more I use talk to text through the computer I am seeing that I have to speak a little slower and clearer in order for it to understand what I'm saying.
    - This will probably be the same with been on the phone and using the talk to text function as well.

    OK so overall I have to say that these are pretty dope pieces of technology and equipment to have. If you are new to the Galaxy family or familiar to Galaxy products you will not be 100% disappointed even though this product and every product has its own flaws. For the price and for what I am trying to do, they are working out just fine and met for a perfect replacement from Galaxy Buds Plus that I had.

    I really didn't intend for this to be a super long review so thank you so much for reading all of this. I put in a whole lot of detail and I really wanted to make sure that I hit a lot of the key points that anybody else would be interested in when buying earbuds and what others would possibly be looking for. I am a construction worker and I work in asphalt and do a lot of driving so the reason why I wanted to get these earbuds was because the former that I had, the Galaxy Buds Plus worked really well with the environments that I have been in and will be in in the next few months. These earbuds are a perfect replacement or a perfect addition to any truck driver that is out there in your rig with your windows down or anything like that to be able to listen to a phone and talk on the phone and take calls, listen to some music or media in loud environment and still get the job done. The only reason why I would not give this product five stars is because of the list of "cons" that I wrote above in this review. Otherwise, this would be a five star product. Thank you for your time!

    I wanted to weigh in on fit, sound quality, and features

    I use the buds primarily for working out in my garage gym, and wanted to share my experience.

    I have read a lot of reviews on Amazon saying that the fit of the Pros is bad. As a result, I was concerned that I would encounter this issue, but I ordered the earbuds anyway. After several uses, I wanted to add my thoughts on the buds. I own 2 other pairs of true wireless earbuds, which are the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 and Jabra Elite Active 75t.

    FIT: I use the Galaxy Bud Pros primarily for working out (lifting weights mostly, but also some cycling). Obviously, this is person-specific, but these buds fit me well. After inserting them, and giving them a small twist, they stay in place. They do not move around or need readjusting. And they certainly do not fall out. Even as my face contorts, the buds stay in place and do not slip. I will admit, I was VERY excited that the fit was so good after all the negative reviews. The buds feel comfortable, and do not hurt my ears (but keep in mind I only wear these up to 2 hours at a time--I'm not sure how they'd feel after longer sessions).

    SOUND: I have a Galaxy S20, so I'm using Samsung's proprietary scalable codec (I'm not sure how these would sound using another Android device or an iPhone on SBC or AAC, but probably similar enough). I also listen mostly to metal/rock. The sound quality is great, much better than the Jabra Elite Active 75t and better than the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1. Note that getting good sound quality is reliant on getting a good seal with provided ear tips (and I get a very good seal with the largest ear tip size). The soundstage feels large, the bass on the bass drum carries weight but never sounds fake or artificially boosted, and the mids and highs feel on point. I played around with the equalizer on the Wearables app and tried out Bass Boost; it sounded horrible and made the lower frequencies muddy. I immediately went back to the neutral sound profile. (I'm generally playing music through PowerAmp, and like to use the "rock" preset equalizer profile).

    ANC: ANC works very well for constant/consistent white noise-type sounds. For example, I have a garage gym where I work out, which has a furnace that is LOUD when it's running. With the bud's ANC on high, I cannot hear the furnace running. It's great! The Jabra Elite Active 75ts received ANC after a software upgrade, but it was very weak/poor, and my Cambridge Audio's have no ANC.

    AMBIENT SOUND: This feature works very well and allows you to pipe in outside noise into your ear buds. There is also a feature called "voice detect" that, when you speak, turns the volume of your music down and turns on ambient sound so that you can have a conversation. Generally, I think it's rude to have a conversation with buds in, but for short conversations, it can be helpful. For example, my wife and I work out together. In between sets, we chat a bit. With "voice detect" and ambient sound I can have brief conversations on my rest breaks without having to remove my buds 20 to 30 times during my workout--I really appreciate that! One thing that can be annoying with "voice detect" is that a cough or grunt (when lifting) can set it off, even though you aren't having a conversation. There is an option to disable "voice detect" though, should you not like it.

    Ultimately, for me, these buds sound excellent, fit well, and have great features. The only concern I have, at this point, is that the hinge that holds the clamshell charging case together when you open it is small and feels a bit flimsy. I'm not sure how it will work in the long run. In comparison, the hinge on my Cambridge Audio runs the entire back of the case (length-wise) and feels sturdy.

    There have been lots of negative reviews about the fit, but it may be that people with bad experiences are more likely to post a review compared to those that have had a good experience (so it seems the bad reviews may outweigh the good). These buds are leaps and bounds better than the Jabra Elite Active 75t, and sound better and have many more features than the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1.

    Great ANC, and Voice Detect is a GAME CHANGER that AirPods Pro & Bose QuietComfort CAN'T step to!

    Since the hot topic is always ANC, I’ll start with that. I work in an 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 loud factory where there’s horns being honked, alarms going off, forklifts, saws, drills, all of it… basically the perfect place to test ANC. Every reputable pro reviewer has already said that the lone ANC only filters out about 85~90% of the surrounding audio until you play music, and I really can’t disagree with that.

    With nothing playing, *almost* everything is filtered out by the ANC… but then I turn on some music and the entirety of the factory racket is… gone… entirely gone! …that is… until I 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to hear it - and that’s when we get into my favorite feature: the big game changer… the absolute beauty of 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭.

    That’s the Buds Pro detecting when I enter a conversation and turning my music down, switching to Ambient Sound mode so that I can perfectly go in and out of a conversation without having to press any buttons or fumble around with any options. I can’t say I’ve experienced such a stunningly futuristic feature in any set of buds – the Bose QuietComforts do not do this… the AirPods Pro 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑙𝑦 don't either… both of which cost quite a bit more than the Galaxy Buds Pro. Do 𝐧𝐨𝐭 sleep on this feature, it’s seriously awesome.

    On that note, having a feature like automatic voice detect onboard makes selecting the right tips more important than ever. On my first work day with the Buds Pro in, I was actually convinced that the voice detection had issues with reliability… only to find later that I’d greatly underestimated the importance of picking the right tips. Once I had the right ones on, the seal was better, the initial ANC was slightly improved (though still incomplete without music), and that probability of voice detect failing me vanished completely.

    From a design standpoint, they’re also great. For all the powerful, clear and balanced audio they pack, they're very low profile. They don’t have that long stick constantly dangling off like every edition of AirPods do, and they make the Bose Quiet Comforts look embarrassingly bulky by comparison too. Those coming from last year’s Galaxy Buds Live will get to enjoy moving away from that abrasive plastic to a more natural-feeling, better sealed rubber tip that keeps the Buds Pro securely snug even when I'm in doing CrossFit. Where the Buds Live hurt my ears after a few hours of use, I can have the Buds Pro in my ears through an entire workday without that feeling of “my ears need a rest”.

    I do have three qualms, all of which are arguably nit-picky. The first is that I just flat out prefer the longer case design that was featured in the original Galaxy Buds/Buds+ over what they use now. While I like that it’s matte now, the Buds Live/Pro style of case simply does not fit in my pocketwatch pocket as well as the Buds/Buds+ style case. The second gripe is something Samsung can actually fix: when the auto voice detect’s done it’s job and my conversation’s over, I’d like that my volume gradually increased to normal instead of functioning like a on/off switch where it’s just loud again all of a sudden. The last qualm? ...I want that red/black hybrid color from the Buds+ back. It looked so nice, and the red on the Buds Live even missed out on the dramatic compliment red and black gave each other. If they released that color again, I'd be selling my current black set for one that was red/black even if I lost $50 or so in the process.

    I won't knock the score too much for such small things; and since Amazon doesn’t allow me to give an incremental rating like 4.7, I will go ahead and give them a 5/5.

    Ditched My Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro

    I returned the Sennheiser MTW3 after not being impressed with the sound quality and astetics vs. the L3P. Shortly after returning the Senns, I started having more lagging issues and problems with the left earbud on the L3P's, along with other quirks. Don't get me wrong they sound tremendous when they decide to function properly. With the pricing of premium earbuds not exactly having glowing reviews, I am hesitant about dropping that kind of money to only be disappointed based on many not so good reviews on brands like Sennheiser, B&O, Masters & Dynamic, etc. Staying with a mid tier priced or budget friendly earbuds is the better way to go.

    If you have a Samsung phone these are the Buds for you with having a matching ecosystem. There is no lag when you open and close the charging case, unlike the soundcore. The sound quality is fantastic and they are comfortable to wear for my ears. I will admit I have eartips on order to get a better seal, but the stock tips are ok for now. The only downside with the Galaxy Wearable app is you can't customize the EQ. But, you do get plenty of bass when you select the preset, with no distortion. You also get to select automatic transparency and volume reduction when you start talking to someone, and once you stop it resumes normal listening volume. It has adequate noise canceling and a better transparency mode than the Soundcore. Now the price has dropped to about $140, they are absolutely worth it. Lastly, from an astetics standpoint; I've gotten turned off to the pencil style and overly large bean type of bud, and went to the more sleek and stealthily type, and these have you covered along with a compact case (just wish it felt more premium), but it's not a deal breaker. It is definitely worth getting!!! Just a quick update, the I ordered the Spigen fabric case cover and it looks great and stays in place. It makes the charging case look and feel more premium.

    Generally speaking, the premium brands need to take their game up to meet what the mid tier priced earbuds are offering these days. The Galaxy Buds Pro are the ones to get.

    First off, I was excited to get these buds. On paper they have everything I was looking for. In order of importance for me.
    1) Sound Quality. 3/5 Though better than most buds, these fall very short in comparison to my Bose Soundsport Earbuds. The bass was better than the buds+ but not near the full sound that you would expect for $200. They were also very quiet if I paired them with anything but the Samsung phone. My Macbook pro wouldn't play loud enough to understand a movie. The sound was much more full, louder with more bass if the ANC was on compaired to off. Even if there was zero ambient noise.
    2) Comfort/Fit. 1/5 This was by far my biggest complaint. I could not get these to fit correctly, they hurt the inner canal of my ear after about an hour of wearing I could feel my ears hurt a full 24 hrs later, so much that I dreaded putting them in my ears again. Also, I couldn't get them to stay in, they would fall out while chewing gum, talking or just walking around. I almost lost them on an airplane luckily the bud detector in the app helped me find them.
    3) Ease of use/Features 2/5. Though the features in principle are very useful, it rarely worked like it should in practice. Buds would not detect that they were both in my ear, often wouldn't allow the ANC to turn on. Button was difficult to get to work like it should, tapping twice would often pause instead of skip, sometimes a tap would turn the bud off, it would think my ear was pushing the button. Frustrating while running.
    4) Water resistance. 5/5, tried showering with these in twice, if water got inside the bass driver it would silence the bass until it was cleared out. Once dry, it worked just as good as new.
    5) Long Battery life. 4/5 the battery life was very good, charged fast, I had a problem with the right bud dying about 20 minutes before the left bud but other than that, the life was long.
    6) ANC, 2/5 the ANC is kindof a joke, first they don't fit well enough to block out much noise but there was very little difference in the amount of noise I heard while on the plane with the ANC on or off. Samsung has tuned these to bass boost and sound different when the ANC is turned on. I wonder if this is just a gimic to make everyone THINK there is ANC.
    7) Voice detection to turn on ambient noise. 3/5, this is a feature I hadn't thought of until I got these, this is a cool idea that detects vibrations in your jaw to mute music and turn on ambient noise mice in case you're talking to someone. In practice it hardly EVER worked when I wanted it to, but always misfired. Talking to people would RARELY 1/10 times turn it on, 9/10 times it would be activated by clearing my throat, spitting while running, coughing, it got so annoying I turned it off.
    8) Voice/call quality 5/5, call quality is the best I've ever experienced with buds or any other mic. Samsung got this right. People I speak to say they work better than my Bose and Jabra headphones

    Like most on Amazon, the reviews on here are really helpful. I've been looking for some earbuds for awhile & being both an audiophile & hard of hearing, it's been a challenging search. There were a whole lot of negative reviews on here about these earbuds, yet the positive ones were so numerous also that I had a hard time picking these. The negative reviews mostly centered on the ear comfort & I've really struggled with others over this problem. My research turned up many negative reviews of just about every earbud because... everyone's ears are different. My son & my wife each have Bose buds. I wasn't particularly impressed by them. I discovered that if you have comfort issues with earbuds, there's a company, Comply, that makes replacement foam earbud earpieces for just about every brand & model, so I decided to go ahead & order these buds &, if they hurt my ears, I'd just buy the foam ones.

    So I received these 4 days ago & while the earpieces were bearable, they were slightly uncomfortable, so I pulled out the included box of alternative ones that Samsung includes & it turned out the small ones fit me perfectly. I can barely tell there's anything in my ears.
    Great! Now for the sound quality...

    These are really impressive. While the equalizer doesn't allow much leeway, the 6 presets are adequate. Personally I'd think that high end buds would allow a fully adjustable equalizer, but... whatever. The sound on these are great! The sound is rich & full thanks to the separate woofer. The highs aren't as impressive but that's where my hearing impairment is so it's probably me. I compared them to my $2000 hearing aids & to be honest, the buds sounded much more real, clear, & satisfying. And... they actually make decent hearing aids. My aids simply over-amp high frequencies & it's no where near as satisfying as these buds. I've been walking around outside with my ambient noise setting turned on & the music paused & I can hear birds singing clear as can be. It's been 5 years since I've heard birds. I'm so glad I bought these!

    So then we come to the touch-based controls. I find that feature kinda difficult. I turned Bixby back on just for these buds & am trying to get accustomed to controlling the buds this way. I wanted to go 3 songs back in my queue, said "hi Bixby. Go 3 songs back." My phone then backed up everything to Samsung Cloud. I tried to stop it but there is no way to do that.

    Muy buen producto, llego en tiempo y forma. Además de haber estado disponible en México al poco tiempo de su lanzamiento. La calidad de los materiales es muy buena, el acabado mate del estuche se ve bien, además de que no se raya tan fácil y no se notan las marcas de los dedos al tocarlo. Los audifonos son ligeros, de muy buena calidad y apariencia. La sensibilidad del sensor del tacto es buena. Sea duración de la batería se me hace buena y suficiente. En cuanto a la comodidad, hay que hacer varias pruebas con las gomas incluidas para determinar que tamaño se ajusta mejor. También hay que saber colcarlos de manera adecuada en el oído por que esto puede influir bastante en la comodidad y experiencia del audio. La calidad de audio me parece muy buena, en especial los bajos. Principal motivo por el que los elegí. Cumplen bien con las expectativas. La cancelación de audio es buena, hay mejores pero tambien peores. El tamaño del estuche es bueno a secas, podría ser un poco mas pequeño y seria excelente, sin embargo, no es malo y es portátil. Lo utilizo en el bolsillo pequeño de los "jeans". Hay opciones de mayor costo en el mercado y que pueden mejorar algunas de las características, pero por el precio de estos aufifonos, creo que es buena relación costo-beneficio.

    The box had been opened and there was evidence it was used, there was hair and the ear buds were dirty. This is disgraceful. If you're sending a used device state this clearly in the description. I require a refund immediately!

    La calidad de audio está a la altura, vengo de unos Bose Sound Sport Free y no hay contraste alguno. El único problema es que la primera semana no aguantaba estar con los audífonos más de un par de horas. Me lastimaban bastante los oídos no fueron completamente ergonómicos para mi. Pasando dos semanas mi cavidad auditiva se acostumbró y puedo usarlos sin problemas pero sin duda es algo a considerar. También los primeros días me costaba acomodarlos no son como los Buds tradicionales que parecían tapon es importante que incluso te veas a un espejo para que puedas acomodarlos bien de lo contrario te vas a lastimar los oídos innecesariamente. Las gomas grandes, para mi caso, cumplen su función de sellar para cancelar bien el ruido. En tanto a la cancelación activa es buena pero en mi caso no la utilizo mucho. Lo que si me gustó bastante es la función de sonido ambiente ayuda bastante para poder escuchar a la gente que habla con tigo sin necesidad de quitarte los audífonos, incluso puedes poner un acceso directo en el celular para controlar la cancelación activa el ruido ambiente y el bloqueo de los comandos por tacto en los bordes de los Buds. El tamaño del cáse es super cómodo y portátil y la bateria es bastante larga 6hrs sin problema. Estoy muy satisfecho con la compra y el precio considero es justo. No doy 5 estrellas solo por el periodo que me costó acostumbrarme a la estructura de los audífonos. Dos semanas!
