That means they can resist splashes from any direction, while the Buds Live can resist sprays from 15 degrees or less.

Keep in mind that the fit and comfort of either of these earbuds will vary from person to person - my colleague David Carnoy remarked that the Buds Live sat well in his ears with the larger tip attached.įor water and sweat resistance, the AirPods Pro have a higher IP rating of IPX4 compared to the IPX2 on the Buds Live. After around three hours, my left ear started to ache so I had to take a break.
But while they fit much better than the AirPods, overall they didn't feel more comfortable. The Buds Live, however, stayed in my ears better during a workout and only started to feel like they were slipping out of my ear towards the end. That means from time to time, like when I'm moving around a lot or doing a workout, I have to push them back in my ears, which is irritating. I have incredibly small ears and the smallest tip on the AirPods Pro has never been small enough for me to create a super tight seal. It's available only in white and to navigate through songs, there's a stem that points down out of your ear that you click on. The AirPods Pro, on the other hand, come with three different ear tip sizes you can swap in or out depending on the size of your ear canal. They come in bronze, white and black and to change tracks or adjust volume, you just have to tap on the touch panel. Depending on your ear shape, these bean-shaped buds fit snugly in your ear without any protrusions. You have to hand it to Samsung for coming up with a design that looks radically different from every other wireless earbud out there. Both the Galaxy Buds Live and AirPods Pro let you use either earbud independently for calls.Ĭomfort and design is a love it or hate it affair Take a listen to microphone samples in the video on this page to hear what each pair sounds like. They also have ANC that you can turn on or off, but it's not particularly effective compared to the AirPods Pro.Ĭall quality on both is also great, although in a noisy environment, callers remarked that the background hum was much less noticeable when I used the Galaxy Buds Live compared to the AirPods. (I did recreate a white-noise hum using my very loud bathroom fan.) Because the Buds Live don't create a seal in your ear like the AirPods Pro, they let in a lot more external noise. Since I've been working from home for the past few months, I haven't been able to test how the Galaxy Buds Live compare for plane travel yet. Thanks to their in-ear design, the AirPods Pro have effective active noise cancellation, which really does block out most unwanted noise such as the roar of a plane engine, or a low hum of a train.

Apple's earbuds also get a spatial audio update in iOS 14 to enable them to simulate surround sound. While the AirPods Pro lack a user-adjustable equalizer (unless you use an EQ in Apple Music or Spotify) there is an adaptive equalizer that changes the sound automatically based on variables like your ear shape. Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app (on iOS and Android) lets you change the sound profile for the Buds Live to one of six different presets, like bass-boost or soft.
