I may not currently have the luxury of testing these buds in flight, but based on what I’ve experienced so far, I don’t see the technology holding up well on airplanes. The whisking effect of cars speeding past was noticeable too. Samsung developed what it calls Wind Shield technology to minimize drafty interference, but even the summery breezes in West Palm Beach had a strong presence when I listened to music on the front porch. Luckily, it wasn’t noticeable enough to pull me away from whatever tunes I had playing in the background.ĪNC wasn’t very effective outside.
The buds weren’t capable of muting my newborn’s cries or other high-frequency sounds like whistles. It felt great blocking out common distractions like door buzzers, loud TVs, and occasional hollering from across the living room. I found High to be the more effective option, especially indoors. Each is specifically engineered for different environments, with Low meant for small spaces like an office, while High can supposedly handle louder ambient traffic. The Galaxy Buds Pro has two ANC levels: Low and High. Not to mention those two models are much more powerful sound silencers. Not even the best wireless earbuds for noise cancellation, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, can achieve this, nor do the AirPods Pro. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro review: Active noise cancellationĪNC on these buds is much better than what its predecessor delivered, but does it reduce “99%” of background noise like Samsung claims? Gosh no. Samsung’s three-mic array demonstrates great speech recognition, making it simple to fire up Bixby with its activation phrase (“Hi Bixby”) and voice commands, with all three AI bots responding to inquiries quickly. Hands-free digital assistance is available via Bixby, but the buds also work with Google Assistant and Siri. It’s OK for the most part, but does suffer from lag, taking about 2 to 3 seconds to fully register the user’s vocals and enable the mode. Placing them back on your ears doesn’t resume playback either.Īnother innovative control option is Voice Detect, a feature that decreases the sound of what you’re listening to and increases audio passthrough volume to let you converse with others without taking off the buds. What’s the real advantage to this? I’m not entirely sure, especially when removing both buds lets you hear your surroundings more clearly. Removing one bud will automatically pause music and enable Ambient Sound mode on the opposite bud. If you’re worried about the buds being sensitive to touch, the companion app has an option to lock the touch panels, that way you don’t end a call or turn on the wrong feature by mistake. Happily, you now have a bit more flexibility. For instance, you can now raise or lower the volume by double-tapping the earbuds' edges previously you had to bind volume controls to the tap-and-hold gesture, meaning if you wanted instant volume adjustment you had to give up other inputs like switching between sound modes. Overall, the controls are responsive, and Samsung has made them even better with post-release firmware updates.

The Galaxy Buds Pro comes loaded with several smart controls that consist of tap and hold gestures, plus on-ear detection. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro review: Touch controls and digital assistant Personally, I still find the AirPods Pro to be the more comfortable and better-fitting pair.
The Galaxy Buds Pro sits securely on the ears when properly adjusted and creates a decent seal to enjoy audio fully once locked in, though your concha will experience some soreness after about an hour of wear. The latter’s one-size-fits-all approach was poorly executed and provided very little on-ear stability.
Fit-wise, the Galaxy Buds Pro compared to the Galaxy Buds Live is night and day.
