and with this crazy looking microphone here you'll be able to hear the difference between each of them right where you are right now, just a heads up in each section of this video and half of most sections will have sound samples. which you can hear personally because of this crazy thing it's a binaural microphone it's pretty fancy and it cost me 2100 so rip out my wallet anyway it'll let you hear the difference between galaxy buds pro and airpods pro from a variety of musical styles on the default equalization settings, I'll put my personal thoughts for each track on which headphone I think sounds best, as well as some technical details on how I made this video in the description if you're curious or want to see if you can hear what I listen, put on your headphones or headphones and let's listen to this first sample on this one.

Hear the bass, the reverb of the vocals and snare, the clarity of the hi-hat and the stereo. the wawa sound let me know in the comments what you notice between the two naturally the first thing you'll notice about the galaxy buds pro is the case it has a nice matte finish compared to the glossy design of the airpods pro that means it feels really nice and soft in the hand, it also supports Q wireless charging and has a USB C port on the back and on the front and inside you will see an LED battery and charging indicator, now the earbuds stick out enough to make it Very easy to take out and they close with the always so satisfying magnetic pull that prevents it from falling out easily.

I love the magnets, while the Galaxy Buds Pro case looks smaller from above, it's noticeably thicker than the Airpods Pro, meaning it'll stick out a little more in your pocket. Oh, I forgot to tell you that if you plan to buy these or any Samsung products, there is a link in my description that gives you a five percent discount on most Samsung products in the Samsung store and just to compare prices to find the best deal elsewhere now, before we continue talking about the hardware and construction let's look at another track, it's fun to listen to for the stereo spread as you listen to the various notes moving from left to right now.

Galaxy Butts Pro and AirPods Pro have waterproofing with IPX7 and IPX4 water resistance respectively, which means the Galaxy Buds Pro are more rugged, but you still shouldn't go swimming with these things right now. One particularly interesting thing about the galaxy buds pro I have. Personally, a speaker design has yet to be seen in any other bluetooth headset, while most speakers, including headphones, have one or several drivers that are separated from each other, something like this typical speaker with a tweeter here up and down here now yes I am understanding the construction well. The Galaxy Buds have what's called a coaxial speaker with a 6.5 millimeter tweeter and an 11 millimeter woofer that are stacked on top of each other like a coaxial speaker, which is really cool and I'm surprised it's not more common .

With that in mind, let's listen to this track that lives in the extremes, so hearing the bass and then the treble of the snare and especially the hi-hat and the treble of one of these actually hurts my ears because it's a little harsh on this one. track in particular, which one do you think it was? When Airpods came out, they received a lot of criticism for their design. It's crazy how quickly they became normal to us, but strangely enough, when I put them up next. For the Galaxy Butts Pro, they're just starting to show their age a little and look a little dated.

I really like the design of the galaxy buds, they have a clean and refined look, oh can you hear that on youtube it says almost 96 of those? of you watching are not subscribed and this video took me over 40 hours to make so hit subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notified when I post another video now in terms of fit the galaxy buds pro are usually inspired on airpods pro. The earbuds have a simulation that enters the ear canal with the ear tip attached with the Airpods Pro, there is no stem, the ear tip itself provides a rigidity that enters the ear and the Galaxy Buds Pro adopt that design, It's okay to listen to the next track. to the bassline and percussion as we talk about this delicious sponsor, hello Fresh, who helped make this video possible so you can watch it for free.

Now I am very happy to have Hello Fresh as a sponsor because I have used them a lot before. they are always sponsors of this channel and you know with everything that's going on it's especially convenient during this madness and I'm running out of ideas on what to cook while I'm home all the time and I just don't want to waste time trying to think of something or having to run to the store because I forgot an item to complete a meal, so I get really excited when I see the Hellofresh eco box show up on my doorstep because I know it's full. with fresh, high quality ingredients with a perfect amount of servings so you don't waste food and it makes it easy to prepare, that's why I hate throwing away food that I didn't have a chance to use because it's spoiled and on top of that, it expands my palate with new types of food.

Am I being snobbish by saying that palette? Palette anyway, expand my palette to new high-quality chef-selected recipes, ideas, ingredients and techniques that I can choose each week or have them choose automatically. For my part, based on my personal food preferences and diet, I have a lot of recipes from my previous boxes because they are very good and there is a lot of variety to choose from right now I am making their firecracker meatballs with roasted green beans and jasmine. rice doesn't sound that delicious, the recipes are super easy to make so don't worry about your skill level.

Hello, fresh is a much healthier option than waiting for some delivery guy to show up late with some soggy fries, that is, if they don't. Don't forget to bring them, plus learning to cook is super fun if you don't know how to do it yet and don't worry, you can customize your days or delivery times and even skip a week if necessary, so use the code, this is tech today 10 to get 10 free meals in four boxes with hellofresh visit the link in the description for more details and a big thank you to hellofresh for sponsoring this video.

Hopefully there will be more in the future because now, interestingly, the fit of the airpods pro feels more secure on the Galaxy Buttons Pro than the Airpods Pro. The downside is that the Galaxy Buttons Pro will become uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time, like most other headphones. The Airpods Pro, you can't really feel them in your ears and most of the time. they stay in place so while we do a head shake test of the earbud let's check out this track it's very warm midrange and soulful but listen to his vocals electric guitar lines and keyboard it's so good that the airpods pro are relatively simple in their controls with the basic response of pausing playback, hanging up, accessing the assistant and changing modes if you press them, the galaxy buds pro do practically the same, but add the option to adjust the volume level up or down. down depending on which headset you use and start.

Spotify unfortunately you can't customize it to launch a different app, so that's a shame, but at least you can adjust some settings and modes in the app, unlike the airbox, speaking of those different modes, let's see how they sound and work, but first let's listen This track, pay attention to the clarity of the attack on the strings of the acoustic guitar, but also how the mids are on the body of the guitar and the vocals. Sometimes when I look, I see you by the fire with your hands. outdoors and I'm wondering if you're singing so let's check the active noise cancellation and see first how the headphones sound when I'm talking from behind and this is from the right and then from the left, but let's put on the headphones and see if you can Hear what it sounds like when

is canceled, this is what the galaxy buds pro sound like with nothing on, it's just off and this is what it sounds like with active noise cancellation on, how does it work?

It sounds good so let's hear how well the active noise cancellation works with this loud fan turned on all the way, here's what it normally sounds like. What do you think? How was it working? Hey, if you haven't. Now, please consider giving this video a thumbs up from the YouTube algorithm and even consider sharing it with someone else you think might enjoy it or find it interesting. Now we'll look at the transparency mode between the two, but first listen to this track. how far forward the vocals sound and whether you can hear much of the percussion instruments in the background or whether they sound really buried, the biggest difference is whether or not you can hear the bass grunge in that 700 to 1k frequency range and this is what the ambient sound sounds like, let me know what you think.

The interesting thing about this is that it definitely captures and I have noticed it a lot when I have used them and this is what the transparency mode sounds like on the Apple airpods pro. They are well known for having a good mode of transparency. Hopefully it translates well into this recording of this video. I think the galaxy buds pro sound a little more digital in transparency mode. Now this track is from my personal friend hannah parrott. Listen to her. how dynamic the track sounds and whether you can hear all the lyrics from the horns to the strings to the melodic percussion instruments with all the video calls and phone calls we are doing, the microphone has become more and more important than ever. let's take a look at them and see how they sound this is the galaxy butts pro how does it sound to you? it sounds natural or digital it sounds clear and full or thin and cloudy and that's what it sounds like when I have purifying air on full speed so here are the apple airpods pro how does it sound to you?

Does it sound natural or digital? Does it sound clear and full or thin and muddy? and here are the pro headphones with that air purifier working well, the next track is really great for the soundstage as you can hear all the reverb and space in the mix, you also hear the snare and hi-hat. One is less full in the midrange sense while the other makes the air in the track space clearer because it eliminates some of that midrange now the big special feature that the galaxy buds pro offers is the auto shut off of active noise cancellation if it detects that you are talking for about 10 seconds then what will happen is it will switch to transparency mode and finally switch back to active noise cancellation when I heard this for the first time in the presentation, I thought it was really cool but in practice I just have to turn it off, it bothers me a lot because I notice that it doesn't work like the Airpods Max where you can listen to the music at a normal volume but somehow you can hear your surroundings or have a conversation with another person.

It sounds really natural and normal. With the Galaxy Buds Pro, it just comes down to audio where you can hear what's around you and it sounds digital, but the music is too quiet, it's just a disaster, and it kept coming on all the time when I didn't want to, I wasn't even there. talking. for anyone, I was just walking and it just went into that mode, which means my audio is very low and I can hear everything around me in a digital sense, but I can't hear what I was originally listening to or seeing. I had to turn it off anyway, let's listen to another song.

Listen to how clear the bass is on this track, as well as the electric guitar, and how bright the symbols are, while Apple's Airpods Pro doesn't really give you the option to adjust the equalizer. or at least some preset equalizer, the galaxy pro buds offer preset equalizer but no graphic equalizer, but let's hear how each one sounds by listening to the build. Personally I prefer the normal setting with the overly dynamic consequences, but I find that the added mid-low boost can muddy some songs, others I don't really care for, including the bass boost, which seems to overwhelm the mix while eliminating much of it. of clarity, okay, we gotta hear a string bell to make those Frank Sinatra vibes pay off.

Pay attention to how full the strings are, the clarity of the piano, and the space in the mix made for the strings and vocals, one of these sounds more like a record because of how warm it sounds, but the other makes the flow sound like a little clearer if not more artificially synthetic and sterile, the sun is setting is perfect now, now ecosystems are a great thing and a bad thing, they help optimize certain experiences so that they are more fluid and solid, but they also leave that experience to a single brand or a limited number. group of people, so while you can use thegalaxy buds pro on an iphone and you can use the airpods pro on an Android phone, a lot of those ecosystem benefits go away, like just being able to open the case and it easily connects to your respective The device is now quite interesting, although the Galaxy, but Pro has even more of a segment of difference while working with a ton of other Android devices.

The highest quality audio depends on the type of Android phone you're using and specifically the type of hardware. on the phone allowing for higher audio quality, but overall the galaxy pero pro is the most airpod pro like earbud to date for android and that's a good and bad thing, it's fantastic on

samsung

phones but functional and solid on an iPhone just like the experience on the airpods pro on a samsung phone, okay let's listen to another track, this one is full of a lot, listen to the secondary frequencies, the high end of the snare and the hi-hat type sounds in the midrange of the synth, one of these has significantly more power than the other in terms of battery life, the galaxy bots pro have a total run time of 18 hours from fully charged earbuds initially to each recharge of the case until the case runs out, Apple's AirPods Pro last 24 hours in

comparison

, meaning the Galaxy Buds Pro have relatively average battery life;

However, if you don't think ANC is something you really care about, you can extend your battery life by simply turning it off now. Full disclosure. I haven't had enough time with the galaxy. buds pro to really know how accurate the battery life is, but I can say that the battery life of the earbuds themselves has forced me to put them back in the case often enough that it seems like the battery life battery is a little less good. For your fellow metalheads, listen to some tight, palm-off riffs that are locked with the kick drum like many other types of metal, listen to how tight and punchy it sounds now, Galaxy Butts Pro price starts at 50 less At the list price of the airpods pro is $199 to be fair, the airpods pro often go on sale for $199, but that also means the galaxy buds pro can go on sale for an even cheaper price at some point later.

Do I think they are worth it? the price actually yes let me explain why in the next section after listening to the next track this song has an amazing bass line pay attention to the synth and vocal reverb so overall i think the galaxy butts pro are the most airpods pro like headphones available on the airpod just like the airpods pro, there are definitely other options that can do one or more things better than the airpods pro and that's the same on the galaxy buds pro in Overall, the entire package is the best and most polished.

It sounds like an easy-to-use option for Android users and even better if you use a Samsung device. I'm really surprised at how good they sound and I really appreciate that they went for a well-rounded sound that not only has solid bass and open, clear highs. end, but a treat in a warm minimum range, many headphones bring out the midrange, which is a popular sound, but I don't prefer it because it negatively affects certain musical styles and instruments of all the options available to me. I have tried so far with Android. Personally I'm sticking with the Samsung Galaxy Plus Pro and think the overall package is worth it, but you should definitely check out this video
