Samsung recently released a new truly wireless pair of earbuds meant to go with the new Galaxy S21 series and go head-to-head with Apples AirPods Pro. Dubbed the Galaxy Buds Pro, these new earbuds promise to deliver more than what the South Korean giants earlier releases have to offer.

Samsung has had some ups and downs with true wireless earphones, as evidenced by the recent Galaxy Buds Live, which offer a striking bean-like design that works counterintuitively to their active noise cancellation. The new Galaxy Buds Pro ($199.99) don’t look quite as unique, but they allow for an in-ear seal that makes for improved noise cancellation and sound quality. They’re also completely

“That’s a trick that the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, Sennheiser True Momentum Wireless 2s, and Sony’s 1000XM3 buds are simply incapable of. (Id argue AirPods get a pass here since they can now automatically switch between Apple devices without you having to do anything, and if you own AirPods, you’re probably in that ecosystem. ) Multipoint works well on the 85t earbuds, seamlessly switching back and forth between your phone and PC or tablet based on what’s actively playing audio. It should be interesting to compare them to other premium noise-canceling models like Apple’s AirPods Pro, Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2 and Bose’s new QuietComfort Earbuds.”
