The body color of Galaxy Buds Pro is phantom violet, phantom black, and phantom silver.I tried Phantom Black
Galaxy Buds Pro is a complete wireless earphone with a compact body and case set.The empty bean -shaped "Galaxy Buds Live" was fitted to fill the area around the ear hole, but BUDS PRO is a conventional BUDS style that inserts the ear chip into the ears.The whole shape is small and the protrusion from the ear is small, so it is not noticeable when installed.
The size of the earphone part (one side) is width 19.5 x height 20.5 x thickness 20.8mm, weighs 6.3G.Bluetooth version is Bluetooth 5.0. Codec supports AAC, SBC, Samsung's unique Scalable Codec.The size of the charging case is 50 width.0 x depth 50.2 x height 27.8, weighs 44.9g.
There are three types of ear chips, large, medium and small, so you can choose the one that fits perfectly, but it has a strong sense of adhesion, and it seems that there is no worry about falling even if it moves violently.Conversely, there is some feeling of pressure.
The body is compact because it fits perfectly in your ears.The case is also small.In addition to the USB Type-C, it supports wireless charging, and can be charged to Galaxy Buds Pro from the back of the smartphone for a Galaxy smartphone or other company smartphone that support power supply from smartphones.
The battery drive time is up to 8 hours.If you charge in a charging case in between, you can listen to music for up to 28 hours.In fact, it will not run out of the battery in one day to use it normally.However, this is when the ANC (active noise canceling) described later is turned off.To be honest, I don't think there are many benefits to always use ANC and use it all the time, so in that case it takes 5 hours in a row.Up to 18 hours in combination with a charging case.
During the review, I tried two consecutive remote meetings (over 2 hours, ANC on), but the battery remains about half, and it is likely to be the expected battery driving time.It is possible to charge about 1 hour in 5 minutes, so it seems safe to charge a little between the meetings.
It is a bit unsatisfactory for long -term international flights, but it would be enough to charge using meals and sleeping time on board.However, it seems that there is no battery problem for the time being, as there is no chance to go out now.
The biggest feature is the powerful intelligent ANC (active noise canceling) function.It is the first installment in the canal type BUDS series, but it is said that the surrounding noise is reduced to 99 %.In the case of "intelligent", it automatically optimizes the cancellation level in an environment where the noise is loud, weakened in a quiet environment.
To use Galaxy Buds Pro, you need a smartphone Galaxy Wearable app.Of course, it can be used other than Galaxy terminals.The app includes ANC settings, on and off audio detection, customization of touch operation, and equalizer settings.
In the setting of ANC, three switches can be made, ANC on -off and the surrounding sound capture, and the ANC applies to two stages, high and small.Basically, there is no problem with "high", but if you want to respond if you are called, you should set it "small".
This time, I tried using it in various scenes, such as domestic flights, trains, outdoors, cafes, and indoors where the sound of TV flows, but the effect is quite clear.It's not completely silent, but as long as you listen to music, it's a level that you don't care about external sounds.
For example, when the ANC was turned on under a ventilation fan in the room, the sound of the ventilation fan completely disappeared.When you talk to you, you can hear a little voice, so you can respond to the call.The background rash sound, such as a cafe, is completely canceled.Even if you do not play music, it will be convenient to wear it when you want to concentrate.
Equipped with outer sound import mode.Because you use a microphone to capture the outer sound, you can hear the surrounding sounds well.The sound capture level is also switched, and the sound you hear is natural.If you are not worried about the feeling of oppression, it is an impression that there is no problem even if you always wear it.
White noise is a bit harsh, but the surrounding sounds sound natural, so the discomfort is less.The maximum of the import level can make the surrounding noise maximize, so it makes it easier to talk, but I felt that it would be better to remove the earphones.
The touch operation of the Galaxy Buds Pro can be customized only by holding a long press.You can switch the settings at the time of long press on each left and right, allocating noise control, audio commands, Spotify, volume up and down.
The voice detection function is also useful.When you start talking, it is a function to naturally continue conversations with others by switching from ANC to outer sound import.The volume of the music you were listening to also decreases, so you can talk without any problems.
When I tried the audio detection function, the ANC was turned off in "When I talked about Aieoo,".The way of speaking is not the loudness of the voice, and it may not respond if it fails, but when you start talking, it switches relatively quickly.
If you talk at the timing you do not notice, the response of the ANC seems to be delayed due to the effect of ANC, but there is no problem when you know the timing of the conversation, such as when ordering at the store.There is no need to stop music or switch ANC.By the way, voice detection works even in ANC off, so if you start speaking, you can lower the music volume.
By default, it returns to the original mode in about 10 seconds.Even while the other party is talking, the ANC suddenly turns on and the volume of the music rises.If you keep talking all the time, you will continue, but if you are silent for 10 seconds, it will be off, so it is not suitable for a long time talking.It seems useful if you order coffee at a coffee shop and the clerk tells the price.
He also emphasizes the microphone function.It is said that you can talk with clear audio with three built -in microphones and voice pickup devices.Certainly, the noise of the surroundings seems to be suppressed, and even in the wind, the wind sound is not transmitted to the other party.However, the noise comes in at the beginning of the talk, and the sound is somewhat muffled.Which is better when you call normally, but even if you wear a mask, the call quality does not change, so you don't have to speak.The smartphone is also suitable for the current situation in the sense of calling without touching the outside of the mask.
Another thing I was worried about was audio input.After pairing with a PC of Windows 10 (Windows Insider Preview) and using audio input in Google Document, it was quite accurate.Even if you speak a little, it will recognize it, so it seems that it can be used as a microphone for voice recognition.In Windows 10, the function of automatically turning off ANC did not work, so it was more convenient to use.If you try to enter audio with an Android smartphone, it will automatically turn off ANC, so it may not be suitable when you want to concentrate in a private room and enter the audio.
In addition, it is also compatible with 360 -degree audio based on Dolby Atmos, but Samsung's original UI "One UI" is version 3..It seems that it cannot be used unless it is 1 or more.ONE UI 3 for Galaxy S20 5G (au version) at hand.Since 1 was not provided, I did not test this time.The 360 -degree audio is compatible with Amazon Music HD, so you can get a fun music experience.
If you are paired with multiple Galaxy devices, there is also a function to seamlessly connect from one Galaxy terminal to another Galaxy terminal.For example, if you are connected to a tablet and watch a movie, you can automatically switch to your smartphone by the Galaxy Buds Pro's connecting destination.Momo ONE UI 3.I have not tried this time because it is a response from 1.
Regarding the sound side, 11mm woofer, 6.Equipped with a 5mm tweeter, AKG is tuned.Although it does not call the high -quality sound quality to be noteworthy, the balance between the bass and the treble is good, and the sound spreads slowly throughout.The treble may be a bit stronger, so if you emphasize the bass with the equalizer, the realism of movies will increase.Even songs with many instruments such as orchestras and big bands can hear the sounds of each instrument in an easy -to -understand manner.He / she plays a wide range of music from rock to classical music.
If you set the equalizer to "dynamic", it will also have an impact on pop music with a strong bass.The equalizer cannot be adjusted individually, so find your favorite tuning.
Waterproof performance cannot be overlooked.It is compatible with IPX7, and is a test condition of "sinking up to 1m of freshwater for up to 30 minutes".Use in the sea or pool is not recommended, but at least it seems that there is no problem if you take a bath or shower.
The Galaxy Wearable app also has a "lab" that allows you to try the functions you are developing, and there is a game mode here.The delay is minimized and the synchronization of a game -like screen and sound is an important app to enhance the user experience.If you watch videos on YouTube, etc., even if the game mode is off, the lip sink does not feel any particularly delay, but it seems that it is always on.
The Galaxy Wearable app is also powerful when paired with multiple terminals.If you start the Galaxy Wearable app on another smartphone or tablet with a Galaxy Buds Pro connected to your smartphone, the connection will be automatically switched to the terminal where the application started later.It would be especially useful if you use Galaxy Buds Pro with multiple devices.
Galaxy Buds Pro is a completely wireless earphone with high level ANC and microphone performance, which is easy to use, including apps.Although it is an expensive category as a complete wireless earphone, it has no drawbacks that seems to be a drawback, and has more than sufficient performance in terms of sound quality and ease of use.
