They are great except I can never get them to stay in my ear perfectly and everytime I push them back in I run the chance of hanging up on whom ever I am on the phone with. But other then that minor issue I enjoy them.

They need memory foam ear tips

These are really great earbuds. In my opinion, they are better than the galaxy buds live as they can fit in everyone's ears. The reason that I didn't give 5 stars is because of the ear tips. For this price point, I feel that Samsung should have included some memory foam ear tips. It is a small upgrade that costs less than $20 for 6 pairs of memory foam ear tips. You need size 4.9mm for them to fit but they improve the noise blockage and retention while keeping the same or better comfort in my case.

A WASTE OF MONEY

I purchased the galaxy ear buds pro on November 21st Brand new out of the box. I put the right ear in and felt like it was snugged and secured in my ear. While crossing the street the ear bud fell completely out of my ear into the drain in the street. There was no sudden movement or anything. WHAT A WASTE OF MY MONEY. 1 DAY OF USAGE, NOW IM MISSING MY RIGHT EAR BUD. These ear buds should be a little more secure. I guess I will throw these in the drawer and go back to my beats pro that never came out of my ear. Im a android lover with a Samsung phone so I thought I would give the Samsung ear buds a try. Now it's just a waste of my money!!!!

Im a Samsung Stan, so I love everything them basically. But these are amazing. Great sound, love the ambiance and noise cancelation features. The battery life leaves a lot to be desired, but I also understand that sometimes comes with the territory for features. Overall no complaints, work as needed.

I purchased these to replace my original galaxy buds. The originals are more ergonomic. They fit more comfortably. I use my ear buds to listen to audio books before bed and often fall asleep with my ear buds in. The galaxy bud pros are so bulbous that I would never be able to lay on my side with them in and not crush the cartilage in my ears. I have an original and the pro in one of each of my ears now for comparison, the original are almost undetectable while the galaxy bud pro hurts my ear when I smile. I wouldn't reccomend them for anyone that wants to listen without ear pain.

Exciting New Addition by Samsung!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Samsung revealed these Galaxy Buds Pro last month during their all-virtual Galaxy Unpacked event. I was excited to try these out once they were revealed. During the event, Samsung introduced all the exciting new and improved features the Galaxy Buds Pro has to offer. Improved sound, 2-way speakers, 360 audio, and intelligent ANC are some of the features the Galaxy Buds Pro has to offer. My experience with them so far has been delightful. If you are looking for true wireless headphones for your device these could be your next buy for several reasons. Here’s an in-depth review of the Galaxy Buds Pro.
*TLDR at bottom
==============================================
IN THE BOX/DEVICES USED:
In the box, you will receive the case with the Galaxy Buds Pro, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and different-sized ear tips. The ones that were pre-installed on the Galaxy Buds Pro were the medium-sized ear tips. There were two other pairs of ear tips, the smaller ones, and larger ones. I did try them all and the medium ones seemed to be the best fit for my ears. I would recommend trying each ear tip out to find the best fit for your ear for optimal comfort and sound.
I tested the Galaxy Buds Pro on several devices. I tested them out on two different Android devices(both Samsung) and my PC. Also, note that I did use them in various environments such as the gym, home, walks, and in bed.
==============================================
CONNECTION PROCESS:
I own several pair of true wireless earbuds, and the Galaxy Buds Pro are the ones that connect to my devices the quickest. Upon opening the case, my phone has already detected and connected to them in the blink of an eye. Not only is the connection quick but switching between devices is seamless and easy. One feature that is lacking with the pros is that they can only be connected to one device at a time. I have headphones that allow up to two connections at the same time and this feature has been a Godsend when your headphones are connected to a PC and you get a call on the phone. Hopefully, Samsung can implement an update that allows up to two devices connected in the future. I also noticed that the range on these is significant. I was about a couple of feet away(with about two walls in between) and there was no broken connection.
==============================================
FIT/SOUND QUALITY:
I have tried plenty of in-ear headphones from wired, wireless, to true wireless. On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is a bad fit and 10 being a great fit. I would give the pros a 7. Why a 7? These headphones do stay in your ear and have a nice fit overall. Even while working out and walking briskly in freezing cold temps, the pros tend to stay in place. The problem I had with these, comfort-wise, was when wearing them for an extended amount of time. The pros did get uncomfortable after about an hour of usage. Other in-ear headphones I have did not give my ears discomfort as much as these did. It’s fair to say these aren’t the most comfortable in-ear headphone out there. To summarize the fit, the pros stay in your ear extremely well but wearing them for an extended amount of time may bring discomfort.
Like all recent Samsung headphones, the Galaxy Buds Pro is tuned by AKG. The sound on these is definitely on a high tier. In short, the sound the pros offer is remarkable. Any genre I’m listening to whether that is Hip-Hop, Rock, Latin, etc. brings a crisp and clear sound. The sound is balanced and all the lows, mids, and highs are distinguishable. Playing with the EQ settings in the Galaxy Wearable app (I will get into more detail later) can elevate your listening experience and ultimately bring out the sound you want to hear. Call quality is clear as well, even in noisy places.
==============================================
BATTERY LIFE:
Battery life is shown with 3 different LED lights (green, yellow, red) in and outside the case. The one in the case shows the battery life of the headphones and the one outside shows the battery life of the case. Samsung mentions that the Galaxy Buds Pro offers 5 hours of battery life with 18 hours in the case. This amount can vary depending on what features you enable in-app. Having Active-Noise Cancelling(ANC) always shortened the battery life significantly for me. I only managed to get about 4 hours of listening time. A tremendous feature that the Pro’s offer is seriously fast charging. About 10 minutes of charge yields to hours of playtime. A great feature to have when you are on a time crunch!
==============================================
NOTABLE FEATURES:
The Galaxy Buds Pro provides a wide array of features. Many of these features are accessible through the Galaxy Wearable app which I will get into more later. The most prominent feature and arguably the headphone’s selling point is the ANC technology. ANC does indeed work well. Using the app, you can adjust the ANC level from a spectrum of completely off to high. There is a notable difference between having ANC completely off and on. ANC is not the best I’ve experienced on in-ear headphones but the ANC is sufficient enough to block a lot of the outside sounds and be at complete peace. Having music at a moderate volume helps as well with ANC.
Another notable feature is ambient sound. Ambient sound allows you to hear the environment around you while listening to your media. Great for when you need to be aware of your surroundings. All I can say is that ambient mode on the pros works significantly well. You can adjust how much sound you want to let in through the app. This mode also works best with another feature called Voice Detect. Essentially, the Pro’s will detect your voice and lower the volume of all your media to allow you to hear the outside world. This is useful when someone suddenly sparks a conversation with you or when you go order something at a restaurant while listening to your media. Your media will remain low volume for several seconds(adjustable in-app) and will go back to regular volume once the seconds have elapsed.
The Galaxy Buds Pro also contains the following features:
- 2-Way Speakers
- IPX7 rated for submersion up to 1 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
- 360 Audio with Dolby Head Tracking (Compatible with only certain Android devices)
- Bixby Support
- The ability to use one headphone while the other is charging.
- Wireless Charging
==============================================
GALAXY WEARABLE APP/TAP CONTROLS:
The Galaxy Buds Pro’s are built for Android devices. If you own an Android device, most or all features will be compatible. The Galaxy Buds Pro’s can be used with IOS devices but IOS users won’t be able to experience many of the features the Pro’s have to offer. Android users will be able to download the Galaxy Wearable App, which I highly recommend. The app allows you to experience all the features the Galaxy Buds pros have to offer. I’ve mentioned some of these features before but here is a list of them:
- Noise Controls (ANC, Ambient Sound, etc,)
- Voice Detect
- Block Touches
- Ability to Customize the “touch and hold” on the headphones
- Equalizer with many different modes such as Bass Boost, Soft, Dynamic, and more
- Ability to “Read Notifications Aloud” if you are not on your phone
- Gaming Mode
- Find My Earbuds and more!
These also have tap controls. Tap controls work well and are extremely sensitive. The tap controls are like any other headphones. Single tap play/pause. Double-tap next song/answer call, etc. The only problem I experienced with the tap controls are when I go to adjust the headphone, the headphone sometimes registers it as a pause because of the high sensitivity. There is currently no way to adjust the tap sensitivity. There is only a way to completely block the touches which completely defeats the purpose of touch controls. Hopefully, Samsung provides an update where the user can adjust the sensitivity of the headphones, if possible.
==============================================
CONCLUSION/TLDR:
Overall, the Galaxy Buds Pros are an excellent pair of true wireless headphones. Sound quality is one of the best features the headphones provide. Its wide array of adjustable features such as ANC, Ambient Sound, 360 Audio, voice detect, wireless charging, and more justifies the price point for these premium headphones. The Galaxy Buds Pro is cheaper than the Air Pods Pro but the amazing features the Galaxy Buds Pro offers make this a worthy competitor to them. These headphones were shy from being perfect for several reasons. ANC worked well but was not the best. Playing music at a moderate volume seemed to enhance the ANC. Battery life was subpar and I could never reach 5 hours of battery life. These aren’t the best “comfort” headphones out there as I started to experience discomfort at about an hour of usage. But overall, the Galaxy Buds Pro is a pair of premium headphones that will not disappoint you. I wholeheartedly recommend that you give these a try.
