Overview

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are premium in-ear wireless earbuds for buyers who want two-way sound, Active Noise Cancellation and strong water resistance within the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.

Each earbud combines an 11mm woofer with a 6.5mm tweeter to reproduce bass and higher frequencies through separate drivers. Intelligent ANC reduces surrounding noise, while Ambient Sound and Voice Detect make it easier to hear conversations and nearby activity.

The IPX7-rated earbuds offer greater water resistance than the Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Buds FE. Battery life reaches up to 5 hours with ANC enabled and up to 18 hours when used with the charging case.

Key Highlights

1. Two-Way Speakers

Each Galaxy Buds Pro earbud uses an 11mm woofer for lower frequencies and a 6.5mm tweeter for higher frequencies.

Why it matters:

Separate drivers provide clearer frequency separation
The larger woofer supports fuller bass reproduction
Suitable for buyers who prioritise sound quality over the lightest possible design

2. Intelligent ANC with Voice Detect

Intelligent Active Noise Cancellation reduces surrounding sound and offers adjustable noise-control levels. Ambient Sound lets external audio through when greater awareness is needed.

Voice Detect recognises when the wearer starts speaking and automatically changes from ANC to Ambient Sound while lowering media volume.

Why it matters:

Reduces distractions during commuting and focused listening
Adjustable Ambient Sound provides control over external awareness
Voice Detect makes brief conversations more convenient

3. IPX7 Water Resistance

The earbuds carry an IPX7 water-resistance rating, offering better protection against water exposure than models with an IPX2 rating.

Why it matters:

Provides added reassurance during workouts and daily travel
Handles heavier water exposure than the Galaxy Buds2 or Galaxy Buds FE
Suitable for buyers who prioritise durability in an in-ear design
