Moving on, much like Apple, Samsung is also ramping up its efforts to create a ‘wholesome’ ecosystem by letting Galaxy phone/tablet users to squeeze more out of the Buds Pro. When paired with Samsung’s Wind Shield technology, phone calls made with the Buds Pro “have never been clearer.” Speaking of which, the Buds Pro come with three mics and Voice Pickup Unit (VPU). Moving on to ANC, unlike the Buds Live, the Buds Pro’s in-ear design “reduce the background noise by up to 99 per cent.” Samsung says it has improved Ambient Sound mode so the Buds Pro will be able to “amplify nearby sounds by more than 20 decibels.” Like Sony’s ‘fabulous’ 1000XM4s, the Buds Pro can also automatically detect when you’ve started speaking to turn down your music volume. Together, they deliver “Samsung’s best audio experience yet,” something that we will be testing out in detail in the days to come, though if the Galaxy Buds Live and Buds Plus are anything to go by, the Buds Pro seem like an extremely exciting update.
The Galaxy Buds Pro come with a 2-way speaker system consisting of an 11mm woofer and a 6.5mm tweeter. Let us start with their audio credentials. All similarities end with the design though as feature-wise, the Buds Pro are well indeed, Samsung’s “most premium earbuds offering to date.” Some of the technologies that they feature are brand new for this segment, while some have been clearly inspired-which is again a good thing. The Galaxy Buds Pro seem like a cross between the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Plus when it comes to design-while the buds themselves look a lot like the Buds Plus, the case borrows heavily from the Buds Live-and that is a good thing.
