samsung galaxy buds pro review with pros and cons
hi guys this is shubham and in this article let's have a closer look at this galaxy batch pro and what do i feel about them this is not a full in-depth review guys been using them for the past four days so let me give you my impressions what do i feel about the same and as you can see now we have the pro name on this one and they are sort of the successor to the galaxy but plus or the galaxy buds live in fact i would say in terms of sound signature they're similar to the galaxy uh buds live or the beans which i actually like quite a bit but there are quite a few improvements so let's have a closer look at the same now so if they come in this box guys and this is the small case in fact the case size is almost the same as the buds live so i like it it's pretty compact and here we have the two bars and uh these are again in your style guys uh but the thing to note is that the driver on this one is slightly on the oval side and that's the same case even
with the
ear tips and one thing to note guys uh
again these uh advertise active noise
cancellation i think that's the
new big thing on uh this one and uh
again uh play around with the tips guys
because with the default tip
i was not feeling that the active noise
cancellation was good but when i change
the tips it's good because
again these are in-ear types so again
how good the seal is is very important
because
the seal actually blocks that about 75
of the sound and when you switch on that
active noise cancellation
it boosts that to about 90 to 95 percent
so that's how they work
and again as you can see uh they also
have a vent over here
uh so that's actually a nice thing
because of active noise cancellation
that's sort of important
and it has multiple microphones and
stuff and pretty small
and compact and you put it like this to
charge
uh one thing to note is that if you just
keep it in the wrong side
it will go inside like this and
it will
even charge
but will not close the case so that way
you'll know that you're putting it
wrong so that's what it is and if you go
to the case
again at the back we have the usb type-c
and in terms of battery
guys it's too early to judge the entire
battery
samsung claims about five hours with
active noise cancellation without active
noise cancellation it should be about
eight hours
with the uh buds itself and i would say
yes it's closer
to that to fire four and a half hours
i've got and i was always using the anc
in the high
mode and again and this will charge it
uh the case will charge it almost four
times so
we'll give you ample battery life
battery life is not an issue on this one
you get the buds itself you get this
usb type-c cable and some extra ear
tips
also
in the box again play with the extra ear
tips as i've told you
now now the big thing is i'll talk about
the sound quality because that's a
big thing i'll talk in the later part of
the video but first let's look at some
of the other features that we have with
this one
and again it works with the uh what do
you say
galaxy app that we have on samsung a
similar stock galaxy ware app and i've
disconnected oh yeah
obviously i'm connected and it is very
quickly as you can see
and shows you uh the percentage
and
everything so let's talk about
active noise cancellation and i would
say here
we see a huge improvements with these uh
buds
in fact uh i would say it's a huge
improvement over the
galaxy but so live here they have really
worked
and actually they have a couple of modes
so let's actually go over them
and here as you can see by default will
be off and you have this active noise
cancellation
i have to actually wear it we have to
wear them
and now yeah it's detected because it
also has this uh
sensor when you just remove it from here
it knows you're not varying that's why
it doesn't work you have to actually
wear it here
like this now as you can see it's a and
we have two levels
this is important because if you're not
used to active noise cancellation some
people
feel that they have the pressure so you
can control it rather high and low
and we also have this ambient sound uh
what that means is it's doing exactly
opposite of noise cancellation
uh whatever is around you you'll hear
very clearly and here i would say
with this ambient sound everything
sounds so clear on this one and you have
multiple modes
in fact i find the low mode to be good
enough in indoor conditions
and the with medium you can hear
everything clearly
you can converse with people you don't
have to do this that you have to remove
this to talk to people so it is done
very well uh i i won't go uh and
move it too high and vote because that
sounds a little bit artificial
but the ambient uh sound is a big
improvement compared to earlier
galaxy but i would say that really work
on this one
uh we also have this uh i have to go to
the ambient we also have this option of
voice detect and this is similar to
something what i've
seen in the sony xm4 if you keep that
on
and whenever you just start talking
if i enable this
and i just start talking as you can see
it just directly jump to the ambient
sound thereby
without tapping or doing anything you
can converse with people
so after some time it will automatically
go back to the
active noise cancellation so this works
very well i would say
and uh this is useful but again uh this
won't work if you have a habit of
just singing your songs when you're
listening to using then obviously it
will not work but
i feel this is a pretty good addition
and works and you have a little bit of
customizations also here
and this one how many seconds do you
want it for 5 seconds 10 or 15. so
again that's a nice thing i'll just
switch this off for now and I
switch
this
off and another thing that i like with
uh most samsung buds is that
you also have the equalizer mode and
specifically for this
galaxy but guys i have to say that i did
not have to actually tweak the sound
signature the default sound signature is
so good
even in the normal mode they sounded so
good but i like the fact that
you can actually change and clear what
is it change the sound signature and i
feel that's important because
not everyone actually likes a what do
you say
a similar sound signature so you can
tweak it but i feel
samsung should have also given a direct
equalizer here if they would have given
it it would have been
better but yeah that's what we have here
and another new thing that we have on
this one
is known as 360 degrees uh audio guys
and this will work only with the new
samsung phones that have the one ui 3.1
and i was surprised with this one uh in
fact it works
very well on this but if you go to the
advanced
you have this 360 degrees audio and i
really like this one this 360 degrees
audio and again guys don't enable it
always because i've noticed that if you
enable it always it does consume a lot
of
battery
so you can enable it and the best part
of this one is that
if you enable it it works with any sound
source
uh it's not restricted to just say one
app or something like that
even regular audio you get that
immersive 360 degrees
experience in fact i enjoyed it quite a
bit on movies
you get that surround sound effect if
you move your head also
it tracks with that so this works very
well and
best part is that you enable it works
with everything it's not
specifically tied to one app or
something for example apple also has
that spatial audio
but it works with very limited apps like
apple uh own
music service and i believe disney plus
that's it doesn't work with regular
stuff this works with all the stuff
but again as of now it only works with
if you have one ui 3.1
so that is actually uh that was a
surprise guys now let's also
talk about
one more thing i'll talk about the sound
uh later but
another thing that i noticed with this
but and i was just keeping it guys
mostly in the normal mode i didn't
actually move between all these modes i
didn't have to because the default mode
was that good
and one strange thing is that i did
watch quite a bit of netflix movies on
this one
and man oh man uh the impact was
amazing no 360 degrees audio just
regular stuff
and then also the sound was very good it
was a very very punchy experience
it felt that i was sitting in a home
theater or something like that
it was so punchy the sound explosions
and everything that way i really enjoyed
what you say watching movies on uh this
one now let's talk about
uh the sound on uh this one again and
particularly for music i'm talking about
uh but before that
let's also talk about one more important
thing these days uh
we are taking a lot of calls etc doing
video conferencing etc
and for that the microphone should be
actually really good
and samsung claims that they have
improved microphone
design
also they cut out wind etc blah blah
they have three microphones a lot of
marketing
stuff and again guys you know that i
don't believe in marketing
uh so i did a test so here are some of
the samples and
you guys let me know what
do you feel
about the microphone of these
so guys recording this outdoors as you
can see
and this i'm recording directly with the
smartphone's internal microphone
in fact the internal microphone of the
s21 ultra are pretty good
but uh this is without using uh these
bots pro now i'll just uh change the
microphone to pick up from this one and
let's see
if there is any difference in the
microphone pickup so guys now i'm using
the galaxy uh butts pro and
the sound is being transmitted via this
one and samsung claims that this one
actually has three different microphones
and the microphone quality is supposed
to be a lot better
so again do you feel there is any
difference now is there a
little bit
less what do you say
and noise and stuff do let me know what
do you feel about the microphones
and do you think the microphone is an
improvement or not
so now guys i recorded directly with the
smartphone's microphone
and wanted to test how good are the
microphones on this one
in cancelling the vector samsung this
now guys uh doing the same thing and i'm
using the birds pro now
it's the same thing the fan is above us
and
you guys let me know do you feel now
it's cutting down a lot of that
what do you say noise from the fan the
wind noise or not is it effective as
samson claims i hope this uh test gives
you
us an idea about the same but what do
you guys think about the same do let me
know so guys now let's talk about the
sound quality on this one and as i've
told you it is very close to the buds
life i felt and that's actually a good
thing because i did like the sound
signature on the bad slide
so if we talk about the bass the bass is
definitely
boosted on this one uh it's not very
neutral i would say
but again i feel many of you will
actually like that
and i didn't have to actually extend the
base or do something like that
so that way it was nice the base had
that
effect and in fact that way i felt uh
that's why in the movies you got that
really good
effect so the base is very well done and
the thing with this one is that
this also actually has two drivers in it
actually the first driver is that 11 mm
driver which handles that low
frequencies and the mid tones
and they also have a new 6.5 mm actually
tweeter in this one
so these also have actually two drivers
in this one and i think so because of
that the sound
signature is actually really good the
mid tones are also produced
very well on this one but one thing i
noted is that
the treble that is the high tones have
definitely a lot more
sparkle on this one which was slightly
actually missing
on earlier samsung parts so that way uh
i would say the high tones were also
produced very well that they have that
sparkle
on them so again if you always like that
strings or classical
they were produced very well on this one
so in terms of sound signature
i would say you will be pleased with
this one and i didn't have to
actually have to play with the equalizer
yes you can definitely play with the
equalizer and
tweak the sound signature a little bit
but by default i would say
uh the sound signature that i got with
this one was very good
and also i did take a lot of calls with
this one and
everyone said that the calls were very
very clear so i feel they have
worked on that one so definitely i would
say a big step up from earlier
samson buds but again guys these are not
cheap they are the flagship as of now by
samsung
these cost about 16 000. so if you have
that kind of a budget
and uh you want a great microphone and
that active noise cancellation
uh then you can certainly have a look at
this active noise cancellation again
guys
works on this one but i won't say it
tries to it will block that
99 or 100 of the
sound guys let's be
realistic
it does cut down about 95 percent of the
sound
so guys uh these were my impressions of
this new
galaxy but pro what do you guys think
about the same do let me know in the
comment section below
anyways guys that's it for now and if
