The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro packs a two-way speaker in each unit, comprising of an 11mm woofer and a 6.5mm tweeter. Each earbud also includes three microphones, including a high SNR mic and two outer mics, that help deliver optimal calling performance and fantastic ANC capabilities.

The Galaxy Buds Pro includes 61mAh batteries in each earbud that are rated for up to 5 hours of playback with ANC turned on. The case includes a 472mAh unit that can deliver an additional 13 hours of playback. If you don’t use ANC, the Galaxy Buds Pro can deliver up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, with an additional 20 hours of reserve power available on the charging case. Speaking of the case, it has the same pebble-shaped design that we’ve seen in the past, and it comes with fast charging support that can deliver up to an hour of playtime with five minutes of charging. As with previous TWS earbuds from Samsung, the Galaxy Buds Pro case supports wireless charging. It’s also worth noting that the TWS earbuds come with IPX7 dust and water-resistance rating, which is the highest water-resistance rating for a Galaxy Buds product so far.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro: Features

Now that we’ve gone over the hardware let’s take a look at the features the new Galaxy Buds Pro has to offer. As mentioned earlier, the earbuds come with Intelligent ANC support that can automatically adjust the ANC levels based on the environment. You also get access to manual ANC controls in the companion app, which will let you switch between different ANC levels based on your preference. Samsung claims that the Intelligent ANC feature is capable of cutting external background noise by 99%.

The Galaxy Buds Pro also come with an Ambient Sound mode that picks up audio from the environment around you to ensure that you’re aware of your surroundings when out and about. It’s also capable of amplifying nearby sounds by over 20dB, allowing users to hear nearby sounds clearly. This mode works in tandem with Intelligent ANC, and the earbuds can automatically switch between the two when they detect a conversation. Furthermore, the Buds Pro comes with support for multi-device pairing, allowing users to switch between two or more Galaxy devices seamlessly.

Additionally, the Buds Pro boasts of a new feature called Spatial Audio that can recreate multi-directional surround sound, SND wind-shield sound technology for noise-free calling, and support for Samsung SmartThings to help users find misplaced earbuds easily.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro is priced at $199.99, and it will be available for purchase in the US on Samsung’s website starting today. The earbuds will be available in three colorways — Phantom Violet, Phantom Silver, and Phantom Black. As of now, Samsung hasn’t released any information about international pricing and availability.
