I like the way buds+ fit,but I like the way buds pro sounds, but the buds pro will not stay in my ears, I've tried all the tips but they still want to come out especially if I talk or eat or move my mouth
I will say, I like that feature with the pros about turning noise canceling off, turning down the music and turning on ambient sound when it detects you talking. Man, if they could roll that feature out in an update to the buds +, they'd be perfect lol
So glad someone else finally mentioned the lack of wing tips. I couldn't get the pros to stay comfortably and reliably in my ears no matter what I tired. Real shame having to return them because the mic, ANC, and overall audio quality was a real step up. I was okay with sacrificing the battery life but the comfort was a deal breaker
Youre lucky.. Reason I baught The buds Pro.. Cuz Of the samsung buds plus.. Those wing tips.. Causes my Ear to have an ear fatigue.. And it hurts.. Maybe My ear is really different.. And the pro Fits better than The plus.. I dont know.. But every people is Not the same :3
I don't think you'll get a good answer from anyone here, it's very individual. I use them at home, no problem there but if i shake my head just a little too much i have to readjust them Edit: I tried to open my mouth wide open (used my whole jaw) over and over and they fell out.
Great video, just wanted to chime in with my experience: I used the Buds Plus for about a year before upgrading to the Pros. The sound quality and call quality are pretty similar, with the main noticeable difference being the addition of ANC. Having a non-glossy case with a smaller form factor was a huge win for me as well. However, the deal breaker for me is with the fit. Try as I might, I just cannot get the Pros to stay in my ears for longer than a few minutes before having to push them back in. Eating or working out with these on is practically impossible. I've tried every possible size eartip, but for my ears it just comes down to the shape of the buds themselves. I ended up "downgrading" back to the Plus because those wingtips just work so well for keeping the buds put. I love what Samsung did in every other way, but I'd love to see the wingtips come back on the next model.
I had the same issue of them falling out easily.. Samsung's website actually has a tips section for fitting them and it turns out I've been inserting them wrong all this time.. The correct way makes a difference.. The key is to have the L and R at the top of bud when inserting.. Mind u I just discovered this today so the test of time will see if it's a difference long term.. Thus far though it has made a huge difference.
I found a weird but cool trick where I can increase or lower the volume by wiggling my ears, but it doesn't work all the time. One that does, however, is instead of double tapping the edge, I double tap my ear on top of the earbud. That way you avoid accidentally pausing or skipping
I've had my Galaxy Buds + for a couple years now, and I feel no urge to upgrade. These things have served me amazingly well. I actually really do love the 12 hour battery life. While walking through the city, I tend to just leave them in my ears, whether I have music playing or not, and that burns a little battery, so it is totally worth it for me. It's always ready to take a call or turn music on. I have the light blue ones and they look awesome. Glad you reviewed this man, it made me decide not to upgrade yet. I see no reason I mean I really do love these plus ones
I just ordered another pair of the buds+ since I had lost my first pair, I highly recommended them even for apple users I’ve been using them on apple and there pretty much flawless and they even have Instant pairing
@@erikmiller9356 It was a wedding and I was in the limo and I believe I dropped them there but I asked the person who was driving and he said there was nothing
I've just got my galaxy buds pro, upgrading from galaxy buds plus, and I can assure you that the the galaxy buds pro blew me away with how good the sound quality is. Sure the buds plus sounds good, but galaxy buds pro sounds way way way better. I love bass, and the bass in buds pro is really really good. Buds plus has pretty much non-existent bass. But I do miss the double-tap edge fiture tho but small price to pay for a better sound quality
Great video I loved the pros unfortunately they had to leave today just too uncomfortable and they would just fall out.back to the plus if they fit there fantastic.
I had the the Buds+ . They were great. I'm a runner so the wing tips were great. I upgraded to the Pros and the sound difference is night and day. The Pros drench you in sound and it is glorious. Lol. No wing tips but I haven't had any issues with them falling out of my ear, even on runs.
You didn't mention that the pro have an air vent to avoid the plug sensation in your ears. And the extra functionality in the pros, like, if you have hearing problems in one ear you can set different volumes in each ear bud.
What are the galaxy buds plus like functionality wise for people who are hard of hearing? For reference, I have moderate hearing loss on both ears due to family genetics.
I have nearly 90% loss in one ear which makes the other very sensitive. Is this seriously a thing? You're saying you can do it with the pro but not the plus?
Whoa! Look at you jump 1k subscribers in one day! Well deserved, I say. A suggestion for future videos: time stamp per section in the description would probably attract even more viewers. Most people have specific things they look to find answers for in a review (e.g. fit, battery, sound quality etc) and they'd appreciate it. I believe YT automatically breaks the videos into chapters in the scrub timeline bar.
@@footballhd1111 As someone who isn't as finely tuned to the intricate details I'd say they are about the same. When working from home they both can get me through my entire and then some work day while not having to charge the case as much as I did the plus. The pro slips out of my ear more but I like how they feel in my ear better. I live out in the country right now so I rarely have a need to use the active noise canceling but could see someone using it in the city seeing as even loud outside noises become extremely muted. Everything else is basically the same to me. If I'm picking one over the other however I'd still pick the Plus. Although the extra features of the pro are cool I don't find myself needing them often the way I live and I can't find a reason to justify the cost (then again I got it basically free with the promo credit when I pre-ordered the s21 ultra). Hope this helps and I say once again I'm not someone that has a good eye for details so it could be a different experience for others.

@@jayjaywarrior1207 yeah the mic is bad on the originals. But that's been fixed with the buds+ and forward. I think the lives have the best call quality tho
@@CentinalxGaming The mic isn't that good but I don't use them that much for that anyways, but in terms of sound quality I think they hold up quite well
I just got the plus a few days ago and I really appreciate the different wing tips because one of my ears is really different so I have medium wing in one but no wing in the other. I've only had them a few days and I really love them. I got mine for £70 in UK which is amazingly cheap.
Thought I'd share my previous review! I bought the Galaxy Buds Plus over a year ago and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately I lost one of my buds recently and the "Find my Buds" feature on the Wear app could not locate it as if was Disconnected. So I decided to upgrade and buy the Buds Pro and got them a few days ago as they were on sale. Right off the bat the first thing I noticed was how they fit in my ear. They didn't feel as secure as the Plus model and like this review stated, I felt the same way. So I jammed on some tunes and rocked out, bopping my head like a wacked out rocker lol trying to dislodge them and they stayed in place! Second thing I noticed was how much better they sounded vs the Plus. Definitely better lows and mids, and crispier high frequencies. I am experimenting with the EQ and noise cancellation features, as well as different size tips, but so far I am impressed. Just have to get use to how they feel. Currently trying to figure out how to tap the Buds to manipulate volume, and switch from Ambient to Noise cancellation. All in all I think it was worth the price jump. But I do want to add one negative thing though. Later in the day I was out doing yardwork in the sun here in sunny California and I was sweating. I was racking leaves and the sweat was starting to get into my ears, and then it happened! One of the earbuds popped out! So, I would go as far to say that you shouldn't do aggressive things when wearing the buds that induces sweat, like mountain biking, or I would even be concerned by jogging. The sweat in the ears will loosen the grip, but then again, larger tips might help, but still, look how much they cost. Good luck!
have the first gen buds and bought the buds pro. The buds pro sound better and enjoyed the ANC ( you should not expect xm4 anc out of the buds), however had to sell the pros because they were uncomfortable, putting pressure on the ear - tired very hard to adjust and keep them, but in the end I could not justify keeping them. Will get the plus soon.
very informative video only had to watch this one and you covered everything i needed to know. usually i have to watch multiple reviews to have a good understanding about a product
In terms of comfort, you should compare the earbuds to the earbuds you find comfortable. Because the comfort is highly subjective. That is the closest thing we can get to "trying the earbuds". For example: You find Galaxy Buds Plus comfortable, you also find X and Y and Z earbuds comfortable. There is a possibility that someone tried the X or Y earbuds and they can have a better picture if someone else found them comfortable, they might find the Galaxy Buds Plus comfortable as well. Because you and that someone might have similar ears and tolerance to those earbuds, based on the X, Y and Z earbuds.
This is what I wanna see I had the buds on lus , lost them , got the lives and still use them along with some airpods pro . Want to see how the buds pro compare
Correction! Buds + do switch between devices on their own! Being a galaxy buds + owner since the launch of the s20, I did the pre-order special to get the buds + free, they've sent out TONS of updates for these things. Including easy switching between devices. When I park my car and have my buds in, my music fluidly transfers from the BT in my car to my buds without me having to do anything and vice versa when I get back in my car. So, I'd say, with the updates, the buds + are par with this feature with the pros
Anybody know if the Pros have audio leakage at higher volumes? Edit: I figured it out. For anyone wondering, they have around the same leakage as the buds+, maybe a little bit more in the mid, and I haven't had any complaints about people being able to hear my music with them.
I use the buds+ with an Iphone 11. I did not care them at first and I tried all the wings and tips. Then I ordered some foam tips ($20) and the difference was night and day. The bass was so much better and the treble was better too. I am sold on the Buds+.
Buds Pro just won't stay in my ears anywhere near as good as the buds+ did. Really missing those wingtips! Had then in for a video call the other day and the movement of my jaw when talking kept causing them to fall out. Other than that they're great just for listening to music.
The double edge tapping you're talking about for volume up and down works on the Buds Pro too. It's in the wearable app settings. Galaxy Wearable App --≥ Buds Pro --≥ Labs --≥ Turn on "Double tap earbud edge"
Just upgraded to spinfit tipo on the bus+ and now they sound bassier and with a lot better insolación. Could be a good following video with better tips on both buds
I have the s20fe and the 3d audio works on that. It sounds like if you were playing a game with 3d audio and you look away in the game. The sound will sound like it's coming from were your phone is compared to your head.
The double tap edge feature is great. You can block touches but they still work, so I can change volume but not skip songs accidentally while working out.
great review! OMG i don't know pro don't have double tap edge feature! you're the only one reviewer who said it, i keep it my plus now, i use double tap edge often, just tap on back of your ear and it change volume, nice
I was also on the fence between Plus and Pro, but ultimately bought Pro because of several things: - Samsung doesn't know how to stock products that're more than a month old, and Pro was the only buds I could physically try before buying. I found some reddit users saying Plus fits horribly for them while Pro is perfect, and vice versa. While I could still improve fitment with custom eartips, I'm hesitant about sinking money into Plus that I've never physically tried. Your ear shapes are almost as unique as your fingerprint after all, just ask HK protesters. - Our IEM lord and saviour Crinacle says he prefers the sound of the Pro because he finds the Plus fatiguing in long sessions. Tbh he even remarked that non-audiophiles would probably not notice the difference anyway, but while this point isn't a deal maker, it certainly weighs my decision towards Pro. -My tipping point is the IPX7 because I live in a very wet country that most of my phones had died to moisture buildup. Might as well spend a little extra for a few extra years of use. To whoever's agonizing over which to buy, I hope this helps.
Another amazing review. Thank you so much, Mike. I think I am going to go with the Buds+ bc of the comfort level. After having the Buds live, I quickly found that comfort is a must for me. The sound in the Buds+ is still amazing so thank you for helping me make my choice. I appreciate you.
The minute I saw they removed the double-tap edge function, I knew I won't buy it. Seriously, what an amazing feature in Buds +, really don't think it is worth upgrading if you already own a Buds +. ANC is nice but for me is unnecessary as I already can't hear the outside world when playing music🤔
I herd rumors they added that double tap edge functionality later in a software update. but very recently i read publications of many ppl being refunded for ear infections caused by buds pro
I have the original Samsung Gear IconX and I need to upgrade due to the buds no longer working after 3 years of daily use. Probably gonna go with the Galaxy Plus as it's basically the same buds with upgrades. My only real complaint is the removal of the MP3 feature. The original Gear IconX also functioned as standalone mp3 players with 4GB of storage. They essentially allowed you to transfer songs directly onto the buds themselves so you didn't need to have the buds connected to a phone or any device to listen to music which also helped extend the battery life of the buds. Sadly this feature was removed after the Gear IconX. Hopefully they bring it back in the future as it was a amazing feature to have.
The plus have been a great pair of headphones for me. The double tap volume feature was pretty great except when running when it could activate by accident.
I have seen your videos and I chose 6 months before the black Galaxy Buds+. Tomorrow I am going to buy the blue one at $99 😍 Great battery life, fit and sound. Double tal your right ear for volume up double tap left ear for volume down is AMAZING. Also charging speed is very good. For me Buds Pro look like a fancy downgrade. Great & balanced videos.
1st 2-3 days i felt uncomfortable wearing the pro but now I feel much better coz I have quite learned to fit them well on my ear. My sister has buds plus trust me the sound and mic quality on buds pro are much better!! I am maybe satisfied with my buds pro ckz i got it free with s21u. But if you're buying it seperately I think you can go with buds plus and I am sure you'll be happy having them
Ohh yes forgot to mention buds pro feel from my e Ar once while I was playing cricket but thankfully there were no scratches😅. As per my experiece I would suggest not to wear them when playing or workout in the gym. But you can wear them while walking or jogging thats not a big deal!
I'm looking for new Wireless earbuds cuz my other one stopped working last year it's the Google pixels the first ones they were good they had one problem with the charging port was not working i had them for a week I'm going to get new ones i got lots of money for Christmas to buy New earbuds I'm between the galaxy buds pro or the galaxy buds plus which one should i buy but which earbuds should i get?
@@genesisgarcia2477 If you really have np regarding the bidget just go for the buds pro. I am using it for almost a month for online classes and for listening songs. It is getting better day by day. The battery life is excellent. Sound quality is very good. Bass is dope. Microphone quality one of the best in the market. My cousin actually has buds plus red colour it looks really good but does not feel as premium as buds pro. Sound quality is good too and bass is decent. Microphone quality is not as good as the pros but is still really good. One thing in which buds plus is better in my opinion is comfortable fit. Initially i didnt feel as comfortable wearing the pros as buds plus but yea pros are really fit too. Ohh yea the anc also works fine I wore it and couldnt hear the noise of ac.Tbh I dont use anc much so dont know much about it. Btw are you currently using samsung device? If no then you can look at some other alternatives as well. However, if you are a samsung user both the buds will work really well with the wearable app
@@genesisgarcia2477 battery life I got with anc off: 6hrs30min You can actually charge the buds 2-3 times through the case itself. I just love the overall battery life. My overall experience is actually good
look a honest review i have used both of the and overall i would give it to the buds+. dont upgrade if you have the buds+. it sounds better and have a long lasting battery
@5:14 I think that the Buds Pro eliminated some of the higher frequency background noise which makes for a great improvement when talking on the phone, it could also be that the wind was just blowing differently when you used the two earbuds.
I thought I was the only one with the double tap for volume issue, the moment the Pro came out it, was the first thing I was looking for, but no one spoke about. I use the Plus and double tap the top of my ear for volume, that a major gain for me. Since these don't have it, that's a massive issue.
We can adjust volume on the pros lol I have it. If you hold right ond for about 2 seconds it will increase the volume and to decrease the volume just press and hold the left earbud. The press and hold function is for something else by default but u can change it!
@@ahmedfadik5553 Thats not the issue, with buds plus, I can press and hold for function, and I can press the touch pad for a function AND I can tap my ear for a function.
I hope you will like them. I've tried many earbuds including AirPods Pro and Buds Live. The Buds+ have my favourite fit. (And the incredible battery life is a very nice bonus).
Noise canceling on the buds pro is mediocre to say the least, I used airpods pro before and these don't come near as good in terms of Noise canceling...however sound quality on the buds pro are more pleasant with richer bass and dolby atmos capabilities
If you are using AirPods, then you are using something that is specific for a specific product - Apple. Bud Pro’s work across ALL phone lines and models, so there will be some difference. Why do you think Apple doesn’t let their AirPods cross platforms? Because they know that they won’t sound good with anything but Apple products. Also, did you notice the price difference between AirPods and Bud Pros? For the price you paid for those AirPods, they had better do a lot more and sound much better.
So I just got my Galaxy Bud+ earbud but, I wasn't too happy with the equalizer in the Galaxy wear app...the sound was very hollow with not enough bass or even a surround sound feel to them...I had to turn the volume all the way up on the Dynamic setting...and still I felt they sounded very tinny...I downloaded a bass and volume booster and now these earbuds truly sound amazing....they are very comfortable in my ears and feel no discomfort whatsoever. The charging case is gorgeous(got in red) and the color is sexy as hell...it is also smaller than it looks in pics or videos....I got them on sale for $109 so I'm happy with my purchase so far.......oh and I can't hear anything with these things on but I'm at home....I'll test it out when it out the subway if I hear anything outside
just watched three or four of your videos in a row while trying to figure out what to purchase, and ive loved all of your reviews. subscribed. keep up the awesome work!
Upgraded to Pro from the OG buds. It took me a few days to get used to it when it comes to comfort. I was using the smallest tip on the OG and medium tips for the pro as you don't need to insert it too deep.
@@christurner95ct I didn't like the fit of the pro. Caused serious ear soreness. I took them back, I'd suggest if you don't have the buds plus, get those instead!
My wife has the airpods pro and I have the new Galaxy pro and man samsung killed with this one 🔥 the base and noise cancelation!!! After a few trys samsung did it this time with the Galaxy pros!!! They finally beat apple not just with the Galaxy s21 ultra this year but the headphones as well! 👍🏼
They also removed the compatibility between the Samsung phone and buds unlock feature. Before I lost the plus, I could unlock my phone without using my password pattern when I bought my pros yesterday, I noticed that function is no longer available? I also miss the volume control on the edge of the plus too. Really was the best function. I've got to try the pros for longer to see how I feel about it but the sound quality is much better.
Pros are far more comfortable for me and I like the water resistance for when I'm in the hot tub.Also better sound and ANC it's a no brainer go get the pro
About the Buds+, Since the wing tips hold on to your ear , they also help you adjust how deep or outside you want to put in the ear canal while the buds pro have to go pretty deep in, which makes one heat thudding footsteps and its annoying. So I also love the original/buds+
Yes, everyone has different ear shape anyway. I couldn't wear the IconX, the Galaxy Buds were better but Galaxy Buds Plus are absolutely perfect for me. The newest Pro doesn't suit me, but they're the first ones my wife feels comfortable with.
I haven't tried the Pros, but I hated the fit of the Buds Live while I love the fit of the Buds+. Good to know that you didn't like the fit of the pros, thanks.
@@jessicareis6678 The Galaxy Buds Pro have noise cancelling, they have also been updated so they can now be used on IOS with the app. So did they improve a lot overtime, and that makes the Galaxy Buds Pro the best Samsung buds on the market. 10/10 would recommend.
If I cut grass for a living and just purchased a S21 so now have to go wireless, which earbuds would you recommend? Lot of loud noises during my workday. Thanks
I tried my girl’s first gen before I purchased and honestly they did great while I pushed mowed and hedge trimmed with an Echo. So the buds+ will be just fine for you IMO and right now they are 109 at Best Buy.
@@jinx1ner Ok I will check them out. Thank you for your feedback, I've done some research and it seems Bud Pros (even though expensive) are a top option but I might go your route first just to try them
@@whitmore3098 I didn't end up trying any, I just went with the Beats Flex and honestly I love them. Now waiting for the new Air Beats to drop..or whatever their called
Had the Icon X and galaxy buds prior, still do. Got the buds + a month ago and the Buds Pro a week ago... in my opinion both are great, cant go wrong with either. Buds + Battery life is so long (11hrs) I just leave them out the case and in my pocket all day at work and when I need to I just pop them in and out my ear and keep the ambient sound on. These are also my go to ear buds if I want to sleep with them in. The only ear buds I ever fell asleep in and woke up with them both still in my ears, thanks to the wing tips which make for a super secure fit. After that how ever the buds Pro take the lime light but ONLY IF THEY FIT YOU. I'm lucky they fit my ears perfectly with the original ear tips but they do not fit my wife, like most earbuds however. Anyways the fit is not as secure as the buds plus, no wing tips ofcourse, and I do find my self adjusting them often when working out, but I notice they are a lot more comfortable to keep in my ears for long periods of time than the buds plus ( Think it's the ear vents). The music quality is also much better and louder on the Pros in my opinion. Ambient sound is louder on the buds plus but sounds more natural on the pros. Voice detection on the Pros has also proving to be very useful. Also they just rolled out an update that allows you to use ANC with only 1 earbud in like you can do with Ambient sound, prior you had to have both in. FYI you must turn on this feature threw settings. I like both these ear buds but the Pros are my daily use for the ANC, VOICE DETECT, COMFORT, and most of all SOUND QUALITY.
thank you. no need to replace my Buds+ then. The microphones are very identical in terms of quality. Your voice doesn't sound muffled. It's clear and the tone and pitch is just right.
We can adjust volume on the pros lol I have it. If you hold right ond for about 2 seconds it will increase the volume and to decrease the volume just press and hold the left earbud. The press and hold function is for something else by default but u can change it!
Yes u can change it, same can be said for Buds Plus too but the brilliant part of the edge tip volume control on the Buds Plus is that I can simply double tap my outer ear twice to change volume, no need touching touchpad, super convenient ! Plus I can save the hold touchpad control for ambient sound & Google Assistant. I don't understand why Samsung dropped the feature since the Beans because it's truly game changing feature for me.
Removing the wingtips and putting on just the silicon rings helped a ton with comfort on the Buds+ for me but they still really hurt my ears after an hour or more. Are the Pro's significantly more comfortable? I also have the Buds Live which are fantastic but I can't get a good lock with them and they tend to slip when out running and sweaty
Thanks for this video. Solid comparison. I love my bud+ the battery life is insane. I wear comply foam tips so I never need the wing tips. I would like to buy the pros but the fit issue puts me off and comply don't do foam tips for them. Update I ended up buying the buds pro and I haven't gone back to the plus. The jump in sound quality is that good. As feared I had fit issues with the pros for my right ear but Comply foam tips saved the day.
Hey we are confused. Someone just commented saying there is not much difference in sound quality in buds plus vs pro. Buds pro is just a little bit better and fuller sound,is what they say. What do you feel?
@@mrgee918 Nah, I am using the buds pro already. The sound quality is real good,its done by AKG. I was talking about buds live users,who upgraded to pro. Some of them who are not experts in audio or audiophiles couldnt see much difference in sound. Thanks for the review tho,mate
Definitely glad I watched this. Didn't even think to look for the Buds Pro app on iOS. I have used the Plus before and switched to the LIve. - Which, imo, was a better product. (To each their own) There was a slight drop in battery life but it was worth the switch especially since the Live fit much better. I was about to swap out my Lives for the Pros to see if it was worth it. But since they don't even have app for iOS, which is about a month after this video was posted, then there is no point - at least for now. (I do have a reliable android phone that I use for a backup in case something happens to my iPhone - so i could probably test out the Pro's on that but that means I'd have to carry around two phones or swap the sim card which I don't want to do) In either case, definitely appreciate the review. Nicely detailed. (Still miss JimsReviewRoom though - but that's just a preference)
I'm surprised how similar the mics on the Pros and Pluses sounded. I figured the extra mics on the Pros would have helped distinguish the voice better, but I guess not really in practice.
Plus user here. Was thinking about upgrading but probably won't now. Thanks dude. I'll use my $200 credit on a wireless charger and some smart tags. You the man.
Is it worth upgrading from the regular galaxy buds? The thing that is most important for me is sound quality, especially base. The ANC also sounds amazing, but is it a noticable difference?
Yes man the original buds were trash they were an experiment. The buds pro are 10x better with so many more features. So yes its worth upgrading and the sound quality will be a noticeable difference
@derpy derp But I'm not sure if it's worth it if you dont have s21, or even any samsung phone in general. I have galaxy buds on xiaomi redmi note 8 pro, and when i bought buds+, it was absolutely not a good buy, because the sound was just slightly better and gaming mode wasn't working, due missing chip that is only in samsung. If you have samsung tho, thats something else
@@Garlic_Bread420 because its optimised for samsung phones and has dolby atmos which also enhances the sound. So the redmi note 8pro is probably not the best ohone to test it out. But rhe galaxy buds pro are really good from usage so i dont know about the +version
Hi Mike great video, but could you tell me about the find my buds feature? It seems like the earbuds case has to be open to work? Any info is appreciated 👍
I have the Buds+ and I wear them all day and they last all day on a full charge. I work with my hands and I don't wear a watch so I have my phone give me time updates at regular intervals and read my notifications while I'm working. I prefer to have minimal passive noise cancelling so that I can still be aware of my surroundings and have conversations with them in. Also if the seal of the inner tip is too air tight, it hurts the ear drums. So I go with the smallest inner tips to allow air flow and ambient sound and medium wing tips to hold them in place with comfort. Having seen various reviews of the Buds2 Pro, I don't think I will be upgrading and will keep using the Buds+ until they run into the ground.
I lost my Buds + and I loved them. I bought the Buds Pro after as a upgraded replacement. Been using it for 5 months. Just re-bought the Buds + on Ebay. The pros sound good but they fall out easy, battery life is very disappointing and they are just uncomfortable. I missed my Buds +. Gonna be using both but will mainly be using my Buds +. I love them much more than the Pros.
I would agree I miss the wingtips from the galaxy buds plus, but I really do enjoy the buds pro. Both a great, but I pefer the pros.
How's the fit on the pros despite the removal of the wing??
Question, does the pro works well for sport?
I like the way buds+ fit,but I like the way buds pro sounds, but the buds pro will not stay in my ears, I've tried all the tips but they still want to come out especially if I talk or eat or move my mouth
Does it block wind noise and your background during your calls? I like the plus, but the person on the other end can hear everything literally.
@@A42yearoldARAB yea I think so
I will say, I like that feature with the pros about turning noise canceling off, turning down the music and turning on ambient sound when it detects you talking. Man, if they could roll that feature out in an update to the buds +, they'd be perfect lol
I think the reason why they get rid of the wingtips because if you wear it for a long period of time then you will get ear fatigue
The wing tips doesn't affect me, because they don't touch or grab on to my ears.
@@mplovecraft Ah. I have never gotten ear fatigue.
@@mplovecraft

I returned the live and got the plus. And I love them!!!

Maybe to cut cost.🤷🏻♂️

It's nice to have them waterproof, but if they do not hold well in the ears it's going to be complicated to use it for sport or something else
I don't think you'll get a good answer from anyone here, it's very individual. I use them at home, no problem there but if i shake my head just a little too much i have to readjust them
Edit: I tried to open my mouth wide open (used my whole jaw) over and over and they fell out.
the only water use case im considering is using them in the shower

That's why the wings on the Galaxy Buds Plus were well thought out.
They will occasionally slide out but not fall out. One bud fell out of my ear while I was looking down and eating, but that was only once.
Great video, just wanted to chime in with my experience: I used the Buds Plus for about a year before upgrading to the Pros. The sound quality and call quality are pretty similar, with the main noticeable difference being the addition of ANC. Having a non-glossy case with a smaller form factor was a huge win for me as well. However, the deal breaker for me is with the fit. Try as I might, I just cannot get the Pros to stay in my ears for longer than a few minutes before having to push them back in. Eating or working out with these on is practically impossible. I've tried every possible size eartip, but for my ears it just comes down to the shape of the buds themselves. I ended up "downgrading" back to the Plus because those wingtips just work so well for keeping the buds put. I love what Samsung did in every other way, but I'd love to see the wingtips come back on the next model.
Try other eartips for example foamtips
@@senna476 where are they from
I had the same issue of them falling out easily.. Samsung's website actually has a tips section for fitting them and it turns out I've been inserting them wrong all this time.. The correct way makes a difference.. The key is to have the L and R at the top of bud when inserting.. Mind u I just discovered this today so the test of time will see if it's a difference long term.. Thus far though it has made a huge difference.
My same exact situation
I found a weird but cool trick where I can increase or lower the volume by wiggling my ears, but it doesn't work all the time. One that does, however, is instead of double tapping the edge, I double tap my ear on top of the earbud. That way you avoid accidentally pausing or skipping
For me, works everytime. Its a good trick haha
Works perfectly for me
I tap my earlobe twice.
100% success rate.
Dpuble Tap the back of your ear , I do that and it works flawlessly everytime
The galaxy buds plus are the best :)
I've had my Galaxy Buds + for a couple years now, and I feel no urge to upgrade. These things have served me amazingly well. I actually really do love the 12 hour battery life. While walking through the city, I tend to just leave them in my ears, whether I have music playing or not, and that burns a little battery, so it is totally worth it for me. It's always ready to take a call or turn music on. I have the light blue ones and they look awesome. Glad you reviewed this man, it made me decide not to upgrade yet. I see no reason I mean I really do love these plus ones
I lost mine & can't fucken find some locally online prices tryna fuck me over so am looking to upgrade for the first time in 5 years
Same here so far they been solid
my right earbud dudded during a workout for whatever reason.
i completely agree on Buds+ . They are really nice, i love them. Nice video btw.
I just ordered another pair of the buds+ since I had lost my first pair, I highly recommended them even for apple users I’ve been using them on apple and there pretty much flawless and they even have Instant pairing

This is THE best review I've ever seen on this and I've watched and read alot of them. Great job Mike!
I was about to get buds pro, now I will hold over my buds plus after this review lol.
I've just got my galaxy buds pro, upgrading from galaxy buds plus, and I can assure you that the the galaxy buds pro blew me away with how good the sound quality is. Sure the buds plus sounds good, but galaxy buds pro sounds way way way better. I love bass, and the bass in buds pro is really really good. Buds plus has pretty much non-existent bass. But I do miss the double-tap edge fiture tho but small price to pay for a better sound quality
Sound quality is great and the 360 sound is cool with movies. The ambient sound is so much better. I think I like the fit on the plus better
@@Obidarthkenobi what type of phone do u have.
@@Obidarthkenobi Agreed. Ambeint sound on the buds plus sounds very artificial and robotic-ish. It sounds way more natural on the buds pro
Great video I loved the pros unfortunately they had to leave today just too uncomfortable and they would just fall out.back to the plus if they fit there fantastic.
@@jeffhenley3051 That's too bad. I was afraid that the buds pro fittings wouldn't sit comfortably in my ears, but fortunately it sits very well
I had the the Buds+ . They were great. I'm a runner so the wing tips were great. I upgraded to the Pros and the sound difference is night and day. The Pros drench you in sound and it is glorious. Lol. No wing tips but I haven't had any issues with them falling out of my ear, even on runs.
You didn't mention that the pro have an air vent to avoid the plug sensation in your ears. And the extra functionality in the pros, like, if you have hearing problems in one ear you can set different volumes in each ear bud.
What?? You could do that?? I gotta need go look it up how to do it 😩. Thanks for the info!
What are the galaxy buds plus like functionality wise for people who are hard of hearing? For reference, I have moderate hearing loss on both ears due to family genetics.
@@qjyeung you can do that on the galaxy buds
You can always adjust that from your phone using the Adapt Sound setting!
I have nearly 90% loss in one ear which makes the other very sensitive. Is this seriously a thing? You're saying you can do it with the pro but not the plus?
I went from the Sony WF-1000XM3 to the Galaxy Buds Pro, yes the ANC is way worse but the comfort of the Buds Pro is so good i don't regret it.
I'm stuck between choosing Sony or galaxy pro I like the style of the Sony way more but I'm not sure how comfortable the pros are (I have tiny ears)

Whoa! Look at you jump 1k subscribers in one day! Well deserved, I say.
A suggestion for future videos: time stamp per section in the description would probably attract even more viewers. Most people have specific things they look to find answers for in a review (e.g. fit, battery, sound quality etc) and they'd appreciate it. I believe YT automatically breaks the videos into chapters in the scrub timeline bar.
Timestamps are something I always forget to do. I'm working on prioritizing it in my workflows!
Funny enough my pre-order for the Pro came through while I was watching this video
Do you enjoy them?
@@footballhd1111 As someone who isn't as finely tuned to the intricate details I'd say they are about the same. When working from home they both can get me through my entire and then some work day while not having to charge the case as much as I did the plus. The pro slips out of my ear more but I like how they feel in my ear better. I live out in the country right now so I rarely have a need to use the active noise canceling but could see someone using it in the city seeing as even loud outside noises become extremely muted. Everything else is basically the same to me. If I'm picking one over the other however I'd still pick the Plus. Although the extra features of the pro are cool I don't find myself needing them often the way I live and I can't find a reason to justify the cost (then again I got it basically free with the promo credit when I pre-ordered the s21 ultra). Hope this helps and I say once again I'm not someone that has a good eye for details so it could be a different experience for others.

Do you find the mic on phone calls is bad? People have been saying I sound muffled on calls.
@@jayjaywarrior1207 yeah the mic is bad on the originals. But that's been fixed with the buds+ and forward. I think the lives have the best call quality tho
@@CentinalxGaming The mic isn't that good but I don't use them that much for that anyways, but in terms of sound quality I think they hold up quite well
Lol me too no need to update in the foreseeable future, they do a great job
I just got the plus a few days ago and I really appreciate the different wing tips because one of my ears is really different so I have medium wing in one but no wing in the other. I've only had them a few days and I really love them. I got mine for £70 in UK which is amazingly cheap.
The buds plus are the best sleeping headphones I've ever owned. Long live that battery life!
Same for me
And batteries are easily replaceable. You can keep those forever
8:34 and now it's available for Buds+ and other Buds
9:25 It's compatible with Android 11 One UI 3.1 devices :)
Thought I'd share my previous review! I bought the Galaxy Buds Plus over a year ago and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately I lost one of my buds recently and the "Find my Buds" feature on the Wear app could not locate it as if was Disconnected. So I decided to upgrade and buy the Buds Pro and got them a few days ago as they were on sale. Right off the bat the first thing I noticed was how they fit in my ear. They didn't feel as secure as the Plus model and like this review stated, I felt the same way. So I jammed on some tunes and rocked out, bopping my head like a wacked out rocker lol trying to dislodge them and they stayed in place! Second thing I noticed was how much better they sounded vs the Plus. Definitely better lows and mids, and crispier high frequencies. I am experimenting with the EQ and noise cancellation features, as well as different size tips, but so far I am impressed. Just have to get use to how they feel. Currently trying to figure out how to tap the Buds to manipulate volume, and switch from Ambient to Noise cancellation. All in all I think it was worth the price jump. But I do want to add one negative thing though. Later in the day I was out doing yardwork in the sun here in sunny California and I was sweating. I was racking leaves and the sweat was starting to get into my ears, and then it happened! One of the earbuds popped out! So, I would go as far to say that you shouldn't do aggressive things when wearing the buds that induces sweat, like mountain biking, or I would even be concerned by jogging. The sweat in the ears will loosen the grip, but then again, larger tips might help, but still, look how much they cost. Good luck!
Hii is your phone android or iphone? Thanks 😊
Thanks so much, i was worried most about the fit of the ears cause that's what a lot of people complain about for the pro
have the first gen buds and bought the buds pro. The buds pro sound better and enjoyed the ANC ( you should not expect xm4 anc out of the buds), however had to sell the pros because they were uncomfortable, putting pressure on the ear - tired very hard to adjust and keep them, but in the end I could not justify keeping them.
Will get the plus soon.
very informative video only had to watch this one and you covered everything i needed to know. usually i have to watch multiple reviews to have a good understanding about a product
In terms of comfort, you should compare the earbuds to the earbuds you find comfortable. Because the comfort is highly subjective. That is the closest thing we can get to "trying the earbuds".
For example: You find Galaxy Buds Plus comfortable, you also find X and Y and Z earbuds comfortable. There is a possibility that someone tried the X or Y earbuds and they can have a better picture if someone else found them comfortable, they might find the Galaxy Buds Plus comfortable as well. Because you and that someone might have similar ears and tolerance to those earbuds, based on the X, Y and Z earbuds.
Are you going to do the comparison between the Pro vs the Live?
This is what I wanna see I had the buds on lus , lost them , got the lives and still use them along with some airpods pro . Want to see how the buds pro compare
Correction! Buds + do switch between devices on their own! Being a galaxy buds + owner since the launch of the s20, I did the pre-order special to get the buds + free, they've sent out TONS of updates for these things. Including easy switching between devices. When I park my car and have my buds in, my music fluidly transfers from the BT in my car to my buds without me having to do anything and vice versa when I get back in my car. So, I'd say, with the updates, the buds + are par with this feature with the pros
Bought Buds Plus BTS Edition for around 110 USD last week, mostly for the gym. So far I'm really happy with them.
Are they water resistant?
@@valeriaromero5179
Watch from here 5:00
Anybody know if the Pros have audio leakage at higher volumes?
Edit: I figured it out. For anyone wondering, they have around the same leakage as the buds+, maybe a little bit more in the mid, and I haven't had any complaints about people being able to hear my music with them.
I use the buds+ with an Iphone 11. I did not care them at first and I tried all the wings and tips. Then I ordered some foam tips ($20) and the difference was night and day. The bass was so much better and the treble was better too. I am sold on the Buds+.
What foam tips did you get?

@@FelicianoKevin Comply 35-42032-11 TrueGrip Pro Memory Foam Tips for Samsung Galaxy Buds True Wireless Earbuds
Buds Pro just won't stay in my ears anywhere near as good as the buds+ did. Really missing those wingtips! Had then in for a video call the other day and the movement of my jaw when talking kept causing them to fall out. Other than that they're great just for listening to music.
The edge tap is my favorite thing with the plus.
The double edge tapping you're talking about for volume up and down works on the Buds Pro too. It's in the wearable app settings.
Galaxy Wearable App --≥ Buds Pro --≥ Labs --≥ Turn on "Double tap earbud edge"
Also, replace the tips with memory foam ones.
They will: be more comfortable; stay in much more secure; and make them sound better.
Just upgraded to spinfit tipo on the bus+ and now they sound bassier and with a lot better insolación. Could be a good following video with better tips on both buds
I have the s20fe and the 3d audio works on that. It sounds like if you were playing a game with 3d audio and you look away in the game. The sound will sound like it's coming from were your phone is compared to your head.
Thank you for your review. I find that most earbuds don’t stay in my ear, the buds plus work perfect for when i workout
The double tap edge feature is great. You can block touches but they still work, so I can change volume but not skip songs accidentally while working out.
great review! OMG i don't know pro don't have double tap edge feature! you're the only one reviewer who said it, i keep it my plus now, i use double tap edge often, just tap on back of your ear and it change volume, nice
Yes amazing feetures
It has now..
I was also on the fence between Plus and Pro, but ultimately bought Pro because of several things:
- Samsung doesn't know how to stock products that're more than a month old, and Pro was the only buds I could physically try before buying. I found some reddit users saying Plus fits horribly for them while Pro is perfect, and vice versa. While I could still improve fitment with custom eartips, I'm hesitant about sinking money into Plus that I've never physically tried. Your ear shapes are almost as unique as your fingerprint after all, just ask HK protesters.
- Our IEM lord and saviour Crinacle says he prefers the sound of the Pro because he finds the Plus fatiguing in long sessions. Tbh he even remarked that non-audiophiles would probably not notice the difference anyway, but while this point isn't a deal maker, it certainly weighs my decision towards Pro.
-My tipping point is the IPX7 because I live in a very wet country that most of my phones had died to moisture buildup. Might as well spend a little extra for a few extra years of use.
To whoever's agonizing over which to buy, I hope this helps.
Another amazing review. Thank you so much, Mike. I think I am going to go with the Buds+ bc of the comfort level. After having the Buds live, I quickly found that comfort is a must for me. The sound in the Buds+ is still amazing so thank you for helping me make my choice. I appreciate you.
Just check out reviews for pro, everyone hates em as they fall out or they are uncomfortable
@@chaikagaz just buy foam tips
Your side profile is so nice
The minute I saw they removed the double-tap edge function, I knew I won't buy it. Seriously, what an amazing feature in Buds +, really don't think it is worth upgrading if you already own a Buds +. ANC is nice but for me is unnecessary as I already can't hear the outside world when playing music🤔
I herd rumors they added that double tap edge functionality later in a software update. but very recently i read publications of many ppl being refunded for ear infections caused by buds pro
I have had both and now looking to go back to the buds+
I have the original Samsung Gear IconX and I need to upgrade due to the buds no longer working after 3 years of daily use. Probably gonna go with the Galaxy Plus as it's basically the same buds with upgrades. My only real complaint is the removal of the MP3 feature. The original Gear IconX also functioned as standalone mp3 players with 4GB of storage. They essentially allowed you to transfer songs directly onto the buds themselves so you didn't need to have the buds connected to a phone or any device to listen to music which also helped extend the battery life of the buds. Sadly this feature was removed after the Gear IconX. Hopefully they bring it back in the future as it was a amazing feature to have.
The plus have been a great pair of headphones for me. The double tap volume feature was pretty great except when running when it could activate by accident.
I believe you can deactivate the touch feature on the app.
@@imadubsfan1 I mean my real problem with it is the volume changing on its own. it's super useful while it's working 90% of the time.
I have seen your videos and I chose 6 months before the black Galaxy Buds+. Tomorrow I am going to buy the blue one at $99 😍 Great battery life, fit and sound. Double tal your right ear for volume up double tap left ear for volume down is AMAZING. Also charging speed is very good. For me Buds Pro look like a fancy downgrade.
Great & balanced videos.
Microphone quality are indistinguishable to my ears.
1st 2-3 days i felt uncomfortable wearing the pro but now I feel much better coz I have quite learned to fit them well on my ear. My sister has buds plus trust me the sound and mic quality on buds pro are much better!! I am maybe satisfied with my buds pro ckz i got it free with s21u. But if you're buying it seperately I think you can go with buds plus and I am sure you'll be happy having them
Ohh yes forgot to mention buds pro feel from my e

@@genesisgarcia2477 If you really have np regarding the bidget just go for the buds pro. I am using it for almost a month for online classes and for listening songs. It is getting better day by day. The battery life is excellent. Sound quality is very good. Bass is dope. Microphone quality one of the best in the market. My cousin actually has buds plus red colour it looks really good but does not feel as premium as buds pro. Sound quality is good too and bass is decent. Microphone quality is not as good as the pros but is still really good. One thing in which buds plus is better in my opinion is comfortable fit. Initially i didnt feel as comfortable wearing the pros as buds plus but yea pros are really fit too. Ohh yea the anc also works fine I wore it and couldnt hear the noise of ac.Tbh I dont use anc much so dont know much about it. Btw are you currently using samsung device?

galaxy buds plus' wingtips serves as a protection...it helps to have less impact for the earbuds when dropped accidentally..
i want one purely for that BEAUTIFUL violet color omfg. but sadly I much rather get something else or the plus ones. but god that pruple.
@5:14 I think that the Buds Pro eliminated some of the higher frequency background noise which makes for a great improvement when talking on the phone, it could also be that the wind was just blowing differently when you used the two earbuds.
I thought I was the only one with the double tap for volume issue, the moment the Pro came out it, was the first thing I was looking for, but no one spoke about.
I use the Plus and double tap the top of my ear for volume, that a major gain for me. Since these don't have it, that's a massive issue.
We can adjust volume on the pros lol I have it. If you hold right ond for about 2 seconds it will increase the volume and to decrease the volume just press and hold the left earbud. The press and hold function is for something else by default but u can change it!
@@ahmedfadik5553 Thats not the issue, with buds plus, I can press and hold for function, and I can press the touch pad for a function AND I can tap my ear for a function.

Doing the same thing. I wanted to like the pros but they hurt.
I hope you will like them. I've tried many earbuds including AirPods Pro and Buds Live. The Buds+ have my favourite fit. (And the incredible battery life is a very nice bonus).
Can I ask does buds + supports Dolby Atmos ?
@@eianetilano2119 yes they are..
Noise canceling on the buds pro is mediocre to say the least, I used airpods pro before and these don't come near as good in terms of Noise canceling...however sound quality on the buds pro are more pleasant with richer bass and dolby atmos capabilities
microphone is better than apples. future update will really impress with anc
If you have Dolby Atmos enabled on your Samsung phone any Bluetooth headphones connected will become Dolby Atmos capable.
If you are using AirPods, then you are using something that is specific for a specific product - Apple. Bud Pro’s work across ALL phone lines and models, so there will be some difference. Why do you think Apple doesn’t let their AirPods cross platforms? Because they know that they won’t sound good with anything but Apple products. Also, did you notice the price difference between AirPods and Bud Pros? For the price you paid for those AirPods, they had better do a lot more and sound much better.
So I just got my Galaxy Bud+ earbud but, I wasn't too happy with the equalizer in the Galaxy wear app...the sound was very hollow with not enough bass or even a surround sound feel to them...I had to turn the volume all the way up on the Dynamic setting...and still I felt they sounded very tinny...I downloaded a bass and volume booster and now these earbuds truly sound amazing....they are very comfortable in my ears and feel no discomfort whatsoever. The charging case is gorgeous(got in red) and the color is sexy as hell...it is also smaller than it looks in pics or videos....I got them on sale for $109 so I'm happy with my purchase so far.......oh and I can't hear anything with these things on but I'm at home....I'll test it out when it out the subway if I hear anything outside

They also removed the compatibility between the Samsung phone and buds unlock feature. Before I lost the plus, I could unlock my phone without using my password pattern when I bought my pros yesterday, I noticed that function is no longer available?
I also miss the volume control on the edge of the plus too. Really was the best function.
I've got to try the pros for longer to see how I feel about it but the sound quality is much better.
Pros are far more comfortable for me and I like the water resistance for when I'm in the hot tub.Also better sound and ANC it's a no brainer go get the pro

I know what you mean but the plus are technically already a gen 2 from the original galaxy buds so we’ll see
@@blakeweitzman6345 r u serious? Where can i see and buy buds+ gen 2?
About the Buds+, Since the wing tips hold on to your ear , they also help you adjust how deep or outside you want to put in the ear canal while the buds pro have to go pretty deep in, which makes one heat thudding footsteps and its annoying. So I also love the original/buds+
I've had a lot of ear surgeries and the pros without the wingtips feel a lot better
Yes, everyone has different ear shape anyway. I couldn't wear the IconX, the Galaxy Buds were better but Galaxy Buds Plus are absolutely perfect for me. The newest Pro doesn't suit me, but they're the first ones my wife feels comfortable with.

Had the Icon X and galaxy buds prior, still do. Got the buds + a month ago and the Buds Pro a week ago... in my opinion both are great, cant go wrong with either. Buds + Battery life is so long (11hrs) I just leave them out the case and in my pocket all day at work and when I need to I just pop them in and out my ear and keep the ambient sound on. These are also my go to ear buds if I want to sleep with them in. The only ear buds I ever fell asleep in and woke up with them both still in my ears, thanks to the wing tips which make for a super secure fit. After that how ever the buds Pro take the lime light but ONLY IF THEY FIT YOU. I'm lucky they fit my ears perfectly with the original ear tips but they do not fit my wife, like most earbuds however. Anyways the fit is not as secure as the buds plus, no wing tips ofcourse, and I do find my self adjusting them often when working out, but I notice they are a lot more comfortable to keep in my ears for long periods of time than the buds plus ( Think it's the ear vents). The music quality is also much better and louder on the Pros in my opinion. Ambient sound is louder on the buds plus but sounds more natural on the pros. Voice detection on the Pros has also proving to be very useful. Also they just rolled out an update that allows you to use ANC with only 1 earbud in like you can do with Ambient sound, prior you had to have both in. FYI you must turn on this feature threw settings. I like both these ear buds but the Pros are my daily use for the ANC, VOICE DETECT, COMFORT, and most of all SOUND QUALITY.
thank you. no need to replace my Buds+ then.
The microphones are very identical in terms of quality. Your voice doesn't sound muffled. It's clear and the tone and pitch is just right.
I have both Buds. I used them mainly for running. The pro's fall out if my ears constantly. The Buds+ are way better fit for running in my case.
I want one for going for a run so would you please suggest which one’s better and would not fall off easily?
We can adjust volume on the pros lol I have it. If you hold right ond for about 2 seconds it will increase the volume and to decrease the volume just press and hold the left earbud. The press and hold function is for something else by default but u can change it!
Yes u can change it, same can be said for Buds Plus too but the brilliant part of the edge tip volume control on the Buds Plus is that I can simply double tap my outer ear twice to change volume, no need touching touchpad, super convenient !
Plus I can save the hold touchpad control for ambient sound & Google Assistant. I don't understand why Samsung dropped the feature since the Beans because it's truly game changing feature for me.
Just ordered pros, let's hope they fit me!
It's unfortunate there's not really anywhere to try them all out side by side
6:20 Finally a reviewer mentions the actual fit in terms of size...my ears are small.
Removing the wingtips and putting on just the silicon rings helped a ton with comfort on the Buds+ for me but they still really hurt my ears after an hour or more. Are the Pro's significantly more comfortable? I also have the Buds Live which are fantastic but I can't get a good lock with them and they tend to slip when out running and sweaty
To me the pros are more comfortable, I have the same problem with my plus. Wore my pros all day without any problems with ears hurting
The smart switch Feature works with the galaxy buds + too😉
Thanks for this video. Solid comparison. I love my bud+ the battery life is insane. I wear comply foam tips so I never need the wing tips. I would like to buy the pros but the fit issue puts me off and comply don't do foam tips for them.
Update
I ended up buying the buds pro and I haven't gone back to the plus. The jump in sound quality is that good. As feared I had fit issues with the pros for my right ear but Comply foam tips saved the day.
Hey we are confused. Someone just commented saying there is not much difference in sound quality in buds plus vs pro.
Buds pro is just a little bit better and fuller sound,is what they say. What do you feel?
@@dweepayansharma5306 If you're use to listening to music on the cheap then you'll probably won't hear the difference. I stand by what I said before.
@@mrgee918 Nah, I am using the buds pro already. The sound quality is real good,its done by AKG.
I was talking about buds live users,who upgraded to pro. Some of them who are not experts in audio or audiophiles couldnt see much difference in sound. Thanks for the review tho,mate
Hey guys I'm currently using the plus and I think they sound pretty good except they lack bass. Do the Galaxy buds pro offer more bass?
@@strifeturtle7124 Yes,it offers a bassy and more full sound. Over that , you have the equalizer to make the sound even better.
Definitely glad I watched this. Didn't even think to look for the Buds Pro app on iOS.
I have used the Plus before and switched to the LIve. - Which, imo, was a better product. (To each their own)
There was a slight drop in battery life but it was worth the switch especially since the Live fit much better.
I was about to swap out my Lives for the Pros to see if it was worth it. But since they don't even have app for iOS, which is about a month after this video was posted, then there is no point - at least for now.
(I do have a reliable android phone that I use for a backup in case something happens to my iPhone - so i could probably test out the Pro's on that but that means I'd have to carry around two phones or swap the sim card which I don't want to do)
In either case, definitely appreciate the review. Nicely detailed.
(Still miss JimsReviewRoom though - but that's just a preference)
I'm surprised how similar the mics on the Pros and Pluses sounded. I figured the extra mics on the Pros would have helped distinguish the voice better, but I guess not really in practice.
Plus user here. Was thinking about upgrading but probably won't now. Thanks dude. I'll use my $200 credit on a wireless charger and some smart tags. You the man.
Just tell me which is more comfortable for long day usage...are they same or one have advantage over other
@@savanna5716 ok
Great comparison, Mike. Appreciate all the info! I am going to buy the plus because fit is the top concern for me.
Is it worth upgrading from the regular galaxy buds? The thing that is most important for me is sound quality, especially base. The ANC also sounds amazing, but is it a noticable difference?
Yes man the original buds were trash they were an experiment. The buds pro are 10x better with so many more features. So yes its worth upgrading and the sound quality will be a noticeable difference
I went from the buds to buds plus and I think it's worth it
@derpy derp But I'm not sure if it's worth it if you dont have s21, or even any samsung phone in general. I have galaxy buds on xiaomi redmi note 8 pro, and when i bought buds+, it was absolutely not a good buy, because the sound was just slightly better and gaming mode wasn't working, due missing chip that is only in samsung. If you have samsung tho, thats something else
@@Garlic_Bread420 because its optimised for samsung phones and has dolby atmos which also enhances the sound. So the redmi note 8pro is probably not the best ohone to test it out. But rhe galaxy buds pro are really good from usage so i dont know about the +version
@@derpyderp1144 hows the fit and anc?
I am using the bus plus and I love them... the bus pro case is my favorite so if I was considering the bus pro then it would be for the car and ANC
Do any of them work on solo earbud mode on either left and right pair? I mean, can I use the left side alone for voice calls?
I think so, yes! :)
Hi Mike great video, but could you tell me about the find my buds feature? It seems like the earbuds case has to be open to work? Any info is appreciated 👍
I have the Buds+ and I wear them all day and they last all day on a full charge. I work with my hands and I don't wear a watch so I have my phone give me time updates at regular intervals and read my notifications while I'm working. I prefer to have minimal passive noise cancelling so that I can still be aware of my surroundings and have conversations with them in. Also if the seal of the inner tip is too air tight, it hurts the ear drums. So I go with the smallest inner tips to allow air flow and ambient sound and medium wing tips to hold them in place with comfort. Having seen various reviews of the Buds2 Pro, I don't think I will be upgrading and will keep using the Buds+ until they run into the ground.
I lost my Buds + and I loved them.
I bought the Buds Pro after as a upgraded replacement.
Been using it for 5 months.
Just re-bought the Buds + on Ebay.
The pros sound good but they fall out easy, battery life is very disappointing and they are just uncomfortable. I missed my Buds +.
Gonna be using both but will mainly be using my Buds +.
I love them much more than the Pros.
How long the buds pro listening time without ANC...every buds without case...?
I'm kind of sad that nobody talks about the dual speaker setup in the pros
the pluses have the same set of speakers as the pros... thats why
Fantastic review Mike. Can you tell me if the buds can be used individually? One at a time. That would be very usfull.
Yeah they can :)
