Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro is the latest wireless earbuds for the Galaxy Buds series for 2021. Galaxy Buds Pro was unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked January 2021 and it features immersive sound, superior call quality, intelligent ANC and enhanced connectivity across your devices.
Let’s get into details more about the Galaxy Buds Pro. The most important thing for any kind of earbuds (whether wired or wireless) is the audio. According to Samsung, Galaxy Buds Pro has an 11-millimeter woofer for deeper bass and a 6.5-millimeter tweeter for a crisp treble with minimum distortion. This setup is said to give audiophiles a dynamic, balanced sound when listening to music, podcast or movies on your new Galaxy S21 device.
In terms of design, the Galaxy Buds Pro has an updated, more ergonomic form factor which took some inspirations from the Buds Live. The shape of the canal-type earbuds improves sound quality, plus it looks less protrusive and more natural when in your ears. This new design also reduces the contact area between your ear and the bud, improving comfort and minimizing a clogged-up feeling. Galaxy Buds Pro were also built to help cut down on waste – using 20 percent environmentally conscious Post-Consumer Materials (PCM).
In addition, Galaxy Buds Pro are protected with an IPX7 water resistance rating, the highest standard of water resistance in the Galaxy Buds line. This will be perfect for fitness lover who wants a durable wireless earbuds. For those who always misplaced their belonging, SmartThings Find can easily locate either of your earbuds, even when they’re out of Bluetooth range or completely out of sight, misplaced at a distant location.
But with the new normal, we tend to use our earbuds not only for play and entertainment, but for work as well. Surprisingly, Galaxy Buds Pro have the technology to push your productivity even further. For your calls and virtual meeting, the wireless earbuds can separate the user voice from unwanted sounds with three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU). One of the outer microphones also has a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), further eliminating background noises. As some of us love to work nearby to a fan, air-conditioner or perhaps outdoor, Galaxy Buds Pro has a new Wind Shield technology to reduce picking up the wind noise.
Galaxy Buds Pro also help users to relax thank to an intelligent Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology. Samsung has even claimed the ANC technology on the Galaxy Buds Pro can reduce the background noise by up to 99 percent, fine-tuning to your preferred level. You can also choose Ambient Sound mode, where it amplify nearby sounds by more than 20 decibels so you can stay alert to your surrounding. Both ANC and Ambient Sound will work together automatically to recognize when you’re speaking, and they can automatically switch between canceling nearby sounds and amplifying them. It will also turn down your music when you want to talk, even if you are using Ambient Sound or have ANC turned off.
If your on Samsung ecosystem, Galaxy Buds Pro’s all-new Auto Switch feature can automatically toggle your earbuds connection between your Galaxy smartphones and tablets based on your usage. For example, if you’re watching a video on your Galaxy Tab S7 and then receive a call on your Galaxy S21, the all-new Auto Switch feature will pause the video and let you answer the phone using Galaxy Buds Pro. Once the call is over, your earbuds instantly switch back to your tablet; the video plays again, and you can hear the audio through your earbuds again.
For battery life on the Galaxy Buds Pro, users will get 8 hours of playback, with an additional 20 hours of reserve power available in the wireless charging case when fully charged. When ANC is activated, the wireless earbuds still can pull through 5 hours of playback with 13 hours more available in the case. Fast charging is available on Galaxy Buds Pro as five minutes of quick charging allows users for one hour of playtime.
