Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Wireless Headphones Phantom Violet (UK Version)

It's weird, I've heard a wide veriety of reviews on both the Buds Pro and the Buds Plus and they seem to be quite contradictary now. Here are my thoughts -- Sound quality is fantastic, compared to my mid range Sennheisers, higher end Razor full gaming headphones, my old Oneplus Bullet 2's, these are absolutely miles ahead in terms of sound quality and they do sound a little better than the Buds Plus. There's more clarity. I wouldn't call them bass heavy like some have, if anything they're extremely well balanced across the board, I'd say to anyone who thinks they're bass heavy to get some open earbuds like the Buds Live which are regarded as tinny.- More comfortable than the Buds Plus, their little wing digs into my ear which is very uncomortable, these are very secure on my ears and the best fit was surprsingly the smallest tips, despite having large ears! They are almost comfortable enough to sleep in but bulge out just a little too much for me, it starts to put pressure on them.- The ANC is decent bit not top of the line, but it's the best you'll get in this price catagory. I'd rather have it than not have it, it's good enough to mostly cut out the sound of my PC fans running 100% (there are 9 noctua fans in there) or my brother's snoring around 80%. If someone is listening to the TV while I have this in without anything playing, noise cancellation will cut out most of the bass, so you'll be left with just tinny background sound, throw in actual music on top of that that you want to listen to and this is obviously an improved, if not perfect listening experience. I'd rather have ANC than not.- I haven't had a problem with battery, I bought a couple of small wireless chargers for a total of £15 and just leave the buds charging when not in use, they charge very quickly. The battery life of 5 hours use on the buds might not sound great compared to the Buds Plus, but when are you really going to listen for a solid 5 hours without a break where they go back in the case? I can't see a scenario where this would be a problem for 99% of users.- I bought the white version but the case itself is a sort of pearlescent blue/lilac, which I'm not a fan of at all, I've bought a silicone black case to hide this. The buds are white and silver plastic, despite this, they feel very high quality, as does the case. It really irks me that the official product shots show phantom white as white. This has clearly been edited for the product shots, the professionals that Samsung hire to take their photos could have taken photos that truly represent the colour if they wanted to.- The fact that the case is plastic means it is probably prone to scratch up long term, best to consider a protecting case if thats important to you.- Never have I had a pair of bluetooth headphones that is so easy to switch between devices, it's normally a faff having turn bluetooth on one device, go into the other device, turn bluetooth on and hope it actually syncs up etc etc etc - you don't have to do that with the Buds Pro, just tap them on any device you've synced with once and they will immedialey connect no problems.- Touch controls can be a bit tempremental. Sometimes a double tap to skip song won't register so it will just pause instead, so you have to tap again to resume playing and try to double tap to skip again.Long term, I just hope the batteries hold up because I'd be very happy to use these for 5 years or more.I won't comment on the other features, they're just kind of gimmiky in my opinion.

After reading a lot of reviews concerning the fit I was a bit hesitant, but I found the pros to fit really well. They are comfortable in my ears anyway. I swapped the medium tips they come installed with for the large and noticed the bass and sound clarity improve greatly soon really need to experiment with the different sizes to find the best fit for you. They look really great and pair seamlessly.Like the other buds, the find my buds feature is very handy, I have mischievous cats who like to play with the buds if I leave one on my bedside table, they emit a chirping sound so can easily be found as they normally end up behind furniture or under the bed thanks to my cats!I admit, the ANC isn't the best I've tried but still work well at a an acceptable level.The sound quality is where these really shine, the detail is very good, hearing little overdubs etc that I hadn't picked up on with my old melomania earphones was a joy to listen to. Full marks for clarity.The voice activation is a very clever feature where the sound dips as soon as it recognises you are talking, so perfect for ordering a coffee and conversing without having to touch the buds in anyway.Just done a weightlifting workout and they have stayed firmly in place, but can't comment on using them doing cardio ie running etc but they seem very secure in the ear.I have the white s21 and the phantom white version of these which I have pair aesthetically very nicely with the phone.I was given the sony wf-1000xm4 as a Christmas present from my wife but even though most review sites say they are the best in class, we had to send them back as they were very clunky with a wierd shape and I couldn't get them to sit in my ears very well, in honesty I didn't really find much difference in the sound quality between them and the buds pro, but the buds beat them hands down in comfort and looks.

Overall I am very happy with these truly wireless ear buds.For me the fit and comfort out of the box was amazing, I actually can forget that I am wearing them and the still sit very secure doing sport like running or skipping rope for example.They sit quite flush so even lying on the ear is not a problem.Pairing with my Galaxy S10 is instant and hassle free.The sound good (from a Samsung phone), probably great for the price. Lots of bass but the treble can be a bit sibilant which is sometimes noticeable in podcasts. The do not get too loud.Sound from a PC which uses an inferior BT protocol sounds bad, it speak for the quality of the hardware the you can hear how bad ...Noise cancelling is pretty basic, but nice to have. Pass through works great, sound maybe a bit strange but is totally usable.When walking, you don't hear much of your steps (unlike some other/older earbuds) and there is no feeling of ear-pressure.Battery life looks fine. I never exhausted them, since I would not wear them for over 4 hours. The charging case is small und supports wireless charging and USB-C. I can use my Galaxy S10 as a wireless charger for it. Good stuff.I have the white/silver version, which looks fine, I guess.Software support is quite good, there is a PC app, a watch 4 complication/app, android widget and the Samsung wearable app.The microphone sounds usable for phone calls.Finally the touch controls are a bit hit and miss. Once you get use to it, it is probably fine.At least I could configure them to control all necessary parameters: play/pause,next/prev,ANC/path through, volume controlOverall I am quite happy with them. Far from perfect, but also far better and feature complete than anything I have tried before. If Samsung can improve the ANC, PC compatibility and controls (responsiveness) this would be a 5-star product.

Les écouteurs sont parfaits, la qualité du son est excellente, le réducteur de bruit active fonctionne très bien, je les ai obtenus moins chères pendant le Black friday, ces écouteurs en valent la peine.

Ottime cuffie sono un pò scomode per la forma anatomica che ha fatto samsung che a volte cadono penso che nelle buds 2 il problema lo avranno risolto

Sitzen locker aber fest genug. Beim Radfahren, über Stock und Stein hatte ich erst Angst das sie zu locker sitzen...bis jetzt noch nicht verloren. Tonqualität is ausreichend gut für solche kleinen Stöpsel. Bin zufrieden und würde sie wieder kaufen.

Non aspettatevi la stessa qualità musicale offerta da auricolari a cavo di pari prezzo o anche un po' inferiore, il limite è più del bluethoot che dell'auricolare, ma tant'è. Certamente sono ottimi in termini di facilità di impiego, flessibilità e riduzione del disturbo. utilizzati per far sport anche sotto la pioggia si sono rivelati affidabili e comodissimi (finalmente niente cavi che interferiscono con i movimenti e auricolari strappati violentemnte dall'orecchio), utilizzati in ufficio per call conference si sono rivelati vincenti grazie ad un'impeccabile riduzione del rumore e all'ottimo microfono che permette di trasmettere la propria voce con estrema chiarezza all'inerlocutore. Inutile dire che per l'impiego d'ufficio l'audio è superlativo. Sono riuscito ad accoppiarli con differenti dispositivi (smartphone, computer, smart TV...) senza nessuna difficoltà. Ovviamente il meglio lo offrono con dispositivi Samsung, ma nessun problema anche con gli altri.

Stable and good for use at the gym and for tuning out annoying people and sounds ;)
