A firmware update that will enable 360 Audio for the Galaxy Note20 (which Samsung let me borrow for testing purposes) and S20 should arrive “soon,” while plans for older Galaxy phones are up in the air. It’s a cool-sounding feature and I can’t wait to try it, but alas, it will-for now, anyway-only work on Samsung’s latest Galaxy S21 handsets.

Looking to match Apple’s spatial audio on the AirPods Pro, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro arrive with 360 Audio, a feature that simulates multichannel audio on the buds stereo drivers while also-with help from Dolby Head Tracking technology-making it sound like the audio is coming from the direction of your phone or tablet, even when you move your head.

Hopefully we can scare up some stronger breezes for our full review. The Buds Pro’s three mics and redesigned windshield chamber are designed to keep your call quality clear during windy conditions unfortunately, the weather has been disappointingly calm during my brief testing period, but callers reported that my voice sounded loud and clear during some not-so-windy calls. Ciara’s “Level Up” popped without heading into too-boomy territory, while Carlos Kleiber’s legendary rendition of Beethoven’s Fifth delivered plenty of detail in the strings and horns. Teeing up the title track of Bruce Springsteen’s The Ghost of Tom Joad on Tidal (which I was able to stream losslessly, thanks to Samsung’s Scalable Codec), Bruce’s spare vocals sounded clean and crisp, and there was a nice warmth to the rising synthesizer, albeit with a somewhat narrow soundstage. We’ll save the details on the Galaxy Buds Pro’s audio quality for our full review, but to my (untrained) ears, the two-way speakers on the Buds Pro sounded pretty impressive. Just press the “Ring” button on the SmartThings app to make your lost Galaxy Buds Pro emit a gentle beep, which gradually increases in volume. If the Buds Pro aren’t connected to Bluetooth, SmartThings Find will report their last known location. Similar to Apple’s “Find My” app, SmartThings Find puts your supported devices, including the Galaxy Buds Pro, on a map, and you can tap a button to make the buds emit a quiet chirp that gradually grows louder. I didn’t notice much of a difference between the “high” and “low” ANC settings, but those who get an uncomfortably clogged-up feeling from noise-cancelling earbuds might appreciate the option.Īnother nifty new feature for the Galaxy Buds Pro (and, again, one that Apple’s AirPods had first) is a “find my buds” feature. The Buds Pro also has “high” and “low” ANC settings, with the “low” setting recommended for quieter environments where you don’t need the full-and sometimes too-full-noise cancelling effect. Ben Patterson/IDGĪctive noise cancellation on the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro comes with “high” and “low” settings, with the “low” step recommended for quieter environments. It’s not unusual for noise-cancelling earbuds to mainly block low-frequency sounds, but still, it’s worth noting.

I could, however, still hear higher-range sounds, such as the clickity-clack of my mechanical keyboard and voices from my daughter’s remote learning class. Samsung says the Buds Pro can screen out up to 99 percent of background noise, and in my preliminary tests the buds did an impressive job of quieting the low rumble of my dishwasher and the whir of a floor fan. Once I paired the Galaxy Buds Pro with a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 (the process took less than a minute, and went without a hitch), I fired up the Samsung Wearables app to take the buds’ ANC feature for a test drive. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro boast an IPX7 rating, which means they should withstand being submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. In other words, you could probably get away with wearing the Buds Pro in a car wash, not that doing so would be a great idea.

While the Galaxy Buds Plus and Buds Live have an IPX2 rating, meaning they’re only resistant to water than hits them at a 15-degree angle or less, the Buds Pro boast an IPX7 rating, which means they can be submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. One of the biggest design changes for the Galaxy Buds Pro isn’t visible to the naked eye: It’s much more resistant to water than previous Galaxy Buds.
