Are you torn between choosing Samsung Earbuds or AirPods Pro? Well, you’re not alone. It’s a common dilemma anyone in the market faces for true wireless earbuds. With so many options available, it’s important to understand which earbuds (Samsung Earbuds Vs AirPods Pro) suit your needs best. Both Apple Airpods and Samsung Galaxy Buds are wireless earphones. Which one is better? Let’s get down to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Samsung Earbuds Vs AirPods Pro: which is better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Apple AirPods Pro is the best set of headphones if you want more accurate sound right out of the box with no fiddling necessary. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, on the other hand, will provide a more comfortable, adaptable listening experience if you prefer to change the sound quality based on your media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of Apple AirPods Pro in 2016 took the world by surprise. Many expected to see a wireless headphone and not an earphone from Apple, and this is what turned heads at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Samsung had already launched their version of wireless earphones before Airpods  Pro, it was now up to them to catch up with the trend. With this article, we take a look at how different or similar these two products really are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where both these products differ greatly from each other as far as design is concerned. The build quality is excellent for both, but they do look very different from one another concerning appearance and materials used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it looks like Samsung has tried to imitate Apple’s design regarding AirPods  Pro, they are far from similar in terms of how they look. The weight is also much lighter for Samsung earphones when compared to Airpods Pro, which makes them comfortable for prolonged use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Airpods Pro still looks more stylish and sleek than the new Samsung Galaxy Buds. Although they look similar in terms of shape, you can tell by looking at them that Samsung’s earbuds look bulkier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re going to wear these while working out or going for a run, then the Samsung earbuds might be better because they are not big enough to fall off easily compared with Airpods  Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n

Functionality:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The functionality here is very different between these two products with Apple offering more features than Samsung. It is important to mention that even though there are buttons on both these devices, their function is greatly altered when paired with Android or iOS platforms, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apart from this, one can control volume in addition to song selection directly through Airpods Pro while only adjusting the volume in Samsung earbuds through buttons on either side of the earphone. Also, the ability to activate Siri with a quick double-tap on Airpods Pro is not available in the case of Samsung earbuds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Quality:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we talk about sound quality, there is no doubt that Apple Airpods Pro offers better audio clarity and volume output when compared to Samsung earbuds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While both these products use Bluetooth technology for connectivity, it seems like Samsung has focussed more on making these earphones sweat-resistant rather than improving the sound quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some users may find Airpods Pro bass levels too high, but this varies from person to person and isn\u2019t always true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, you get what you pay for here since Airpods Pro costs almost twice as much as Samsung\u2019s Samsung earbuds. We should mention that this price difference is justified since the quality of music you get with Airpods Pro is much better than Samsung earbuds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery Life:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Battery<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is something where Samsung’s Samsung earbuds score over Airpods Pro hands down when it comes to battery life. They offer 6 hours of continuous playback, which is almost double that of what Apple offers (3 hours). However, this difference isn\u2019t always visible regarding real-world usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this is that sound levels tend to reduce battery life dramatically for most earphones and having a longer battery life doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they will last longer in terms of actual usage time. It really depends on user preferences here, but if you ask us, we would prefer more battery life over excellent sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing, Samsung earbuds cost almost half as compared as Apple AirPods Pro despite offering better features and costing much less. This is because Apple charges around $160 for their earphones which isn\u2019t at all worth it considering they are just wire-free versions of wired earphones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Samsung is selling theirs for only $149.99 (at the time of updating this article), which makes them one of the most affordable wireless earphones on the market right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connection and Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both earbuds offer a close-range wireless Bluetooth connection for convenience. Still, the Samsung galaxy buds also provide users with an additional option to connect it using NFC, which only works on Android phones. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of controls, you can control everything from your Apple AirPods Pro except adjusting volume because there is no physical button on the AirPods Pro itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to open up sound preferences or double-tap either to change track or take a call, but you can easily adjust the volume of your song by clicking the sides of your Airpods  Pro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, this is where Samsung shines more because their earbuds offer more convenience and control. After all, you can control a bunch of different tasks using the touchpad that’s located on one of the earbuds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can play or pause songs, switch tracks, answer phone calls or send messages by tapping on the earbuds. Just like your phone, double-tap once to accept an incoming call or skip to the next track. Double-tap twice to reject an incoming call and triple-tap to redial your last call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Sound Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The active noise cancellation on both the AirPods Pro and Galaxy Buds Pro is top-notch, and both come with an ambient sound mode that allows you to hear your surroundings. The Galaxy Buds Pro’s ambient sound mode is impressive, offering ambient noise control, which means you can adjust the level of outside noise you hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spatial Audio AirPods Pro 2 offers spatial audio, which creates a surround sound effect, providing a more immersive listening experience. However, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offer 360 audio, which simulates a surround sound effect by tracking your head’s movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Resistance and IP Rating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both AirPods Pro and Galaxy Buds Pro have an IP rating of IPX7, making them resistant to water and sweat. This is great if you’re an active person who enjoys working out or running in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Samsung<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compatibility AirPods Pro 2 is paired with an iPhone, while the Galaxy Buds Pro is paired with a Galaxy phone. However, both earbuds can be paired with other devices, including Android phones and tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the Samsung earbuds and Airpods Pro are very comfortable. They’re both soft but fit securely in your ears without falling off easily. As long as you buy the correct size ear tips for your ears, you should be able to wear them for hours without discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airpods Pro has a strong grip, so it is almost impossible for them to fall out of your ears compared with the Samsung Galaxy Buds, which have a weaker grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
