Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Features
Active noise cancellation, also available with the Buds Live, is in these earbuds, too. But this upgraded pair offers a better experience. According to Samsung, they have the most intelligent ANC capabilities of any true wireless earbuds. Ambient Sound lets you amplify nearby sounds by more than 20dB, which lets you stay focused on what you’re listening to and lets in other sounds. ANC and the Ambient feature work together so that when you’re speaking with someone, the buds will stop canceling outside sounds and instead amplify them. Auto Switch is a feature that lets you automatically switch between your devices when needed without having to fiddle with Bluetooth settings, something that’s hard to do in the moment, like when you’re getting a call. This feature means you can be listening to music on your tablet but instantly switch to your phone when a call comes through. The buds will even change back to the first device when the call ends. Smart! While you wait for your new pair, you can watch this unboxing video. This YouTuber obtained the buds through a pre-release version found on Facebook Marketplace: Here are some other things the Buds Pro offer:

Galaxy Buds Pro Specs and Hardware
The Buds Pro earphones come in three colors: Phantom Black, Phantom Violet, and Phantom Silver. They’re made from recycled plastic, support Bluetooth 5.0, and have a playtime of 8 hours (if noise canceling is off). Samsung also upgraded the design. To boost sound quality and comfort, Samsung reduced the contact area between the earbuds and your ear, and the shape makes it a little less noticeable in your ear. In addition, the company integrated its Wind Shield technology into the Buds Pro. The shape and tech work together to help filter out the annoying wind disturbances we’re all familiar with, which will make it much easier to use the buds for phone calls.
