It’s worth noting that similar to the Galaxy Buds Live, the Buds Pro feature lacklustre bass. That said, they do sound a cut above the Galaxy Buds+, and even the more recently released on-ear Galaxy Buds Live. Obviously, the sound quality can’t compete with over-ear headphones. Nearly every genre I tested with the Galaxy Buds sounded great, ranging from bass-heavy music to songs with guitar riffs and an emphasis on treble. The Galaxy Buds Pro feature a wide sound stage and a great balance between highs and lows thanks to their 11mm woofer and 6.5mm tweeter. On the sound quality front, things are far more positive. However, both the actual earbuds and their case feel high-quality and durable. They stay lodged in my ears okay when wearing a winter hat, but not as well as they should given they’re in-ear buds.ĭesign-wise, I’m also not fond of the mirror finish on the ‘Phantom Black’ Buds Pro because it’s even more reflective and a bigger grease magnet than the Galaxy Buds Live. On a more positive note, I’d rate the Galaxy Buds Pro a solid 4/10 on the ‘ MobileSyrup Toque Test‘ scale. In my experience, this vent doesn’t make the Buds Pro any more comfortable than standard in-ear earbuds. Similar to the AirPods Pro and other high-end earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro feature a vented design to mitigate the pressurized sensation a lot of people - including myself - feel when wearing in-ear buds. “Nearly every genre I tested out with the Galaxy Buds sounded great, ranging from bass-heavy music to songs with guitar riffs and treble emphasis” Of course, everybody’s ears are different, so that might not be your experience. Even then, they often still feel like they’re on the verge of plummeting to the floor. Regardless of if I swap on the small, medium or large rubber ear tips, they never seem to fit properly, forcing me to push the Buds Pro deeper into my ears than I’d prefer to prevent them from falling out.

Unfortunately, Samsung’s Buds Pro rank up there with the most uncomfortable wireless earbuds I’ve placed in my ears. I’ve written this comparison in several wireless earbud reviews at this point - in-ear earbuds often feel like an insect is burrowing into my ear, and I also frequently encounter a strange sensation of pressure. I rarely find in-ear wireless earbuds a pleasure to wear, with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Live, Apple’s AirPods Pro and Google’s Pixel Buds (2020) being the only exceptions thanks to their comfort-focused designs and ventilation features.

However, the Buds Pro are unfortunately uncomfortable, unlike the Galaxy Buds Live. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Buds Pro actually manage to match or surpass Apple’s AirPods Pro in several ways, especially when it comes to versatility and active noise-cancelling.

The main question surrounding the earbuds is whether they’re capable of matching Apple’s high-end earbuds in the sound quality and noise-cancellation department, as well as if they’re a worthwhile upgrade over the Buds+ and Buds Live. In several ways, especially design and features, the Galaxy Buds Pro are Samsung’s answer to Apple’s AirPods Pro.
