Samsung promises the headphones are an improvement over the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live in every respect, offering better sound and microphone quality, as well as \u201cthe most intelligent\u201d active noise canceling (ANC) on any true wireless earbuds.<\/p>\n<p>Bold claims, given the myriad of earbuds launching every week. Still, Samsung says the headphones can \u201creduce background noise by up to 99%,\u201d although a footnote in the press release clarifies that number applies to the very specific frequency of 118.43 Hz. Meanwhile, an ambient sound mode can boost the sound around you by up to 20 decibels.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cwPbXL8ilk4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More interesting is that the headphones can automatically switch noise canceling levels depending on what you\u2019re doing. They can detect when you\u2019re speaking, for example \u2014 something we saw with <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2020\/08\/06\/sonys-wh-1000xm4-makes-an-almost-flawless-headphone-even-better\/\">Sony\u2019s WH-1000XM4<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 automatically adjusting noise canceling and music levels.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had mixed success with this type of feature, so I\u2019m curious to see if it\u2019s worth it in Samsung\u2019s implementation. Meanwhile, a new microphone setup better reduces wind noise when using the headphones outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung also says it\u2019s implemented an auto-switch feature that allows the earbuds to intelligently switch between two devices without having to fiddle with Bluetooth settings.&nbsp; Battery life is rated at 8 hours per charge with 20 extra hours in the, albeit only 5 and 13 hours, respectively, when using ANC.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of sound quality, the Buds Pro&nbsp;<span>sport 11 mm woofers and 6.5 mm tweeters. Samsung has also added spatial audio via Dolby Atmos with head tracking, allowing the headphones to have a more immersive sound that more closely replicates a speaker system. Unfortunately, it\u2019s limited to Samsung devices running One UI 3.1 or higher., so you won\u2019t get the same level of immersive sound if you own another type of phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Buds Pro are available starting today for $200.<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech?
