Samsung - Galaxy Buds Pro True Wireless Earbud Headphones - Phantom Violet

This review is based on me owning the Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds Plus, and AirPods Pro. I also own the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the GS20 Ultra so I can give the user experience from a Samsung phone and an iPhone. No bias here and this review is based on USER EXPERIENCE. Pros: Galaxy Buds Pro sound great, have good bass, clear vocals, sound great for phone calls, a great Ambient mode, no latency when watching movies or gaming, ANC is now a feature, and these have voice detect which will pause the audio when you start talking. Do these sound better then AirPods Pro? That is subjective and depends on what you prefer in audio. AirPods Pro get louder and the Galaxy Buds Pro have fuller bass. Cons: Galaxy Buds Pro don't fit as well or as comfortable as the Galaxy Buds Plus in my ears. I've noticed other reviews mention this too. The ANC is average and not as good as AirPods Pro. Battery life is now 5 hours...down from 11 hours with the Galaxy Buds Plus. Final thoughts: These are the best earbuds for people with a Samsung phone. AirPods Pro are the best earbuds for people with an iPhone...that's the simple truth. If you want the best ANC, loudest earbuds, and best Bluetooth range...AirPods Pro. If you want the best bass, best Ambient mode, and lots of extra features from a companion app...Galaxy Buds Pro. Lastly...I will always recommend to family and friends that they choose the BEST FIT over brand when buying earbuds cuz that's what your sound experience will come down to.

These have been great, like the fit and sound quality

As far as sound quality is concerned these are phenomenal I have nothing bad to say about them comparing to the previous models the Galaxy Bud Plus and generation one and not only that the Galaxy but lives completely outperforms those. However the biggest negative on why this did not get a perfect, is the fit the Galaxy bar plus fits in your ear virtually perfectly because it has two ways it fits in an interlocking portion plus it going into the ear these on the other hand only go into the ear and depending on how your ears made or is shaped they may fit they may not fit or they may pop out no matter how much you twist them in to try to get the perfect fit. It just may not work or it could cause your ear some pain I hope Samsung goes back and redesigns these with more of the likeness of a galaxy Bud Plus. But I still stand behind the excellent sound design. Buying them from Best Buy naturally you have a 14-day or possibly 30-day return policy I would still tell anybody to try them out to see if they will work for them and if they do not work going to the Galaxy Bud plus would be the next best thing. Oh and one of the coolest features unless you like to sing behind the songs you listen to is a feature where if you're listening to music and then someone starts to talk to you the moment the microphone hears your voice it will actually lower the music into the background almost like grocery store music in the background so that you can still hear the people that's talking to you because it automatically cuts on ambient sound that feature is phenomenal unless you hum or sing behind the song which would then be a little aggravating luckily you can cut it on and off at your leisure.

Comfortable to wear long term (fall asleep with them inserted). They fit my ear canals very well and do not feel like they will fall out even while running or weight lifting. The battery life has been very good and the recharging is seamless. The buds pair with my Galaxy S21 and being a Samsung product the features are a nice added benefit. I think the noise canceling is pretty good when I utilize it, but I tend to use the ambient sound mode and voice detect more. I have tried my son's Air pods pros and could not tell much of a difference with the noise canceling. I have an iPhone for work and the buds pair to it just as easy.

Had to return my first pair. I do love these earbuds though, I had them on my wish list before I met my boyfriend. We went to the store and got him the black pair and I later ordered these because they don't have the violet in store but wow. Very pleased with the battery life of the galaxy buds. I was at the gym at 4:40pm and left around 7:40pm and still had juice. It was nice. The battery life really is what I need at the gym since I like staying around 2.5 or 3 hrs. Also on chore day it doesn't miss a beat. I like the charging versatility. Wired or wireless charging both options are very nice to have. It kinda sucks that these do not come with a charger or charging cable, but oh well. They definitely sound good and I very much love that they're not getting interference, especially on crowded gym days. So that very much pleasing. HOWEVER, I'm convinced this works best in the Samsung environment, not completely sure about the rest of the Android environment. When I connected this to my 1st gen iPad Pro 9.7 inch ( yeah it's old, but it I can still draw and get updates) the range is not great. I could go to the edge of a room or the room right over and it starts cutting in and out. But with my Samsung phone I can leave my phone in the kitchen and listen to my music IN THE BASEMENT of all places without it cutting in and out. Noice cancelation is alright for the most part. Once the gym starts getting more crowded I can more of the equipment a little but it was definitely better than my old buds. Plus the fact I cannot hear people speaking with them on. The ambient sound mode is very trippy. It's like being able to "hear everything" and I mean everything it amplifies it, my boyfriend says it's like a hearing aid and that's the perfect analogy. I wish the timeout to return to noise canceling was faster than 5 seconds but eh. The fit is something to play with, I initially thought the default tips were fine, for the most part yes, until I do back extension ms at the gym or more intensive house cleaning, then the grip loosens so definitely wannan find that snug but comfy fit. My boyfriend has to use two different size tips, one large and one medium for his ears, I also need sizes because my left ear is prone to falling out when doing activities mentioned. Summary: I love these earbuds and I definitely recommend them.

Skeptical, but made into a believer. I heard about these coming out when I was looking at the Live buds. Read a few initial reviews, then went for it. I now use these daily for music while working/working, zoom calls, normal calls, pretty much everything. I have other earbuds, but they are not as feature-rich or comfortable. These are quite comfortable and the battery last long enough for me. The app/connectivity with a Galaxy smart-phone is very helpful as well. They have already pushed 2 updates in the last week, with the latter being one to improve the already great active noise-canceling and the ambient sound features. I am overall very satisfied and have been praising them to others.

Had the old sony earbuds before but they had many problems so I got these and Im really impressed. The sound quality and the ease of use is just amazing. I haven't had any problems to this day and ive been using them now for over a year. I have dropped them accidentally multiple times on hard surfaces but they are very well built and haven't had any problems at all. The only downside would be the battery life. I like to use the earbuds for long periods of time and these guys last around 3-4 hours on one charge if you are constantly using them. Drains more obviously if youre using in call. But overall hasn't bothered me that much considering the small size of the case and battery it is probably normal. I think its worth it overall.

Although out for some time, these Buds Pro have been in my Top 3 lineup since release day. Are there better TWS sets? of course! but Samsung knows how to deliver on a quality product, and I have yet to experience any issues with Quality or Durability. The XM4's, AirPods Pro, these and Vista 2's are my dailies for various uses. I dislike that Samsung followed in Apple's footsteps and restricted the App functionality and features to Android only... But not a deal breaker as I use both OS platforms and setting these up on my Tab S7 was a breeze, updated the firmware and then connected them to my iPhone 13 Pro! all the setting carry over and the sound coming from these is superb! Dynamic, "fun" sounding and loud enough for anyone. For all the naysayers that insist this is only good Samsung devices.... errr, wrong! just if you have an Android device just set them up first there then you can connect to iOS - I can hear all the Apple fanboys saying "I just need something that works" these work - you just have to do a little work. Like I said I use both OS platforms and my iPhone 13 Pro is my daily phone. There's more to say but to wrap things up... the fit and sound is subjective - these check both boxes! They are comfortable with the smallest tip included and the sound after switching to a different preset is very good! Not XM4 or Momentum 2 or B&W PI7 good but very good indeed! They are always on sale or a good discounted price, it's Samsung.. what else needs to be said? Thanks for a great product Samsung. I'm sure to continue spending money on devices that work and intrigue me.
