Samsung recently launched their new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live headphones, and now we get to find out how they compare to the Apple AirPods Pro.
MacRumors has put together a great video comparing the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live vs Apple AirPods Pro.
There is a price difference between the two devices, the new Galaxy Buds Live retail for $179 and the Apple AirPods Pro retail for $249.
Design and Comfort
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live is quite unique compared to traditional earbuds. They feature a bean-shaped design that fits snugly into the ear without protruding. This ergonomic design aims to provide comfort for extended periods of use. On the other hand, the Apple AirPods Pro have a more conventional in-ear design with silicone tips that create a seal within the ear canal. This design is intended to offer better noise isolation and a secure fit.
Both sets of earbuds come with their own charging cases, which are compact and easy to carry around. The Galaxy Buds Live case is more rounded, while the AirPods Pro case has a more rectangular shape. Both cases support wireless charging, making it convenient to keep your earbuds powered up.
Sound Quality and Features
When it comes to sound quality, both the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and Apple AirPods Pro offer impressive audio experiences, but they cater to slightly different preferences. The Galaxy Buds Live are equipped with 12mm speakers and bass ducts, which provide a rich and deep bass sound. They also feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), although it may not be as effective as the ANC found in the AirPods Pro.
The Apple AirPods Pro, on the other hand, are known for their superior sound quality and effective ANC. They use adaptive EQ to automatically tune the music to the shape of your ear, providing a more immersive listening experience. The AirPods Pro also feature Transparency mode, which allows you to hear and interact with the world around you without removing the earbuds.
Both earbuds come with touch controls for easy navigation. The Galaxy Buds Live allow you to play/pause music, skip tracks, and answer calls with a simple tap. The AirPods Pro offer similar touch controls, along with the ability to activate Siri for voice commands.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Battery life is another important factor to consider when comparing these two devices. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live offer up to 6 hours of playback time on a single charge, with an additional 15 hours provided by the charging case. In contrast, the Apple AirPods Pro offer up to 4.5 hours of listening time with ANC enabled, and up to 24 hours of total listening time with the charging case.
Both earbuds support Bluetooth connectivity, but the AirPods Pro have the advantage of seamless integration with Apple devices. They feature the H1 chip, which allows for quick pairing and switching between Apple devices. The Galaxy Buds Live also offer easy pairing with Samsung devices, thanks to the Samsung Wearable app, but they are compatible with other Android and iOS devices as well.
As we can see from the video and the detailed comparison, the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live look good and offer a range of features that make them a strong alternative to the AirPods Pro. While the AirPods Pro may have the edge in terms of noise cancellation and seamless integration with Apple devices, the Galaxy Buds Live offer a unique design, impressive sound quality, and a more affordable price point.
Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on your personal preferences and the ecosystem of devices you use. Both the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and Apple AirPods Pro are excellent choices for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds.
