    Samsung’s Galaxy Buds have always been the go-to TWS earphones if you own a Samsung device especially a flagship S series or Note series device. Galaxy Buds have always been a well-rounded performer offering a lot of features for a decent price. The Galaxy buds Pro plans to take it further.

    Galaxy Buds has earned the Pro tag for this year and it has received features to back it up too.

    • Design: Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro harks back to the more tried and tested canal type design of the original Galaxy Buds and ditches the kidney-shaped Galaxy Buds Live design. The design is refined update and looks fresh with matte interior finishes and glossy outsides. The Galaxy Buds Pro also come rated with IPX78 certification, the highest rating amongst Samsung’s existing TWS line up. Samsung also claims to have used 20% environmentally conscious Post-Consumer Materials (PCM). There are 3 colour options available — Phantom Black, Phantom Silver and Phantom Violet.
    • Hardware: Samsung plans to push the Pro tag by introducing an integrated driver set up with a 2-way speaker system. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro will be using an 11mm woofer to pump the bass alongside a 6.5mm tweeter for near distortion-free high-frequency sounds and crisper treble notes. The Galaxy Buds Pro come with 3 microphones and Voice Pick-Up Unit for noise cancellation and ambient noise filtration. The Galaxy Buds Pro will provide 8 hours of playback and additional 20 hours of power in the wireless charging case. While using the TWS with ANC the playback time drops to 5 hours and another 13 hours of battery back up in the case.
