Hello there! I am the original huh, click to follow, more exciting content waiting for you!

Apple and Samsung are competing not only in the smartphone space, but also in the audio space. Apple's AirPods Pro (second generation) goes head-to-head with Samsung's Galaxy Buds2 Pro.

Both are truly wireless headphones with built-in noise cancellation and a charging case, providing you with unprecedented audio wherever you are.

I compared them head-to-head to see how they fared in terms of design, comfort, sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), battery life, software and other features.

Design & Comfort

The AirPods Pro headphones retain the distinctive white cotton swab design of the first- and second-generation AirPods. They come with a choice of four silicone earbuds (from extra-small to large) to fit a variety of ears. This is a significant departure from the hard, smooth plastic earbuds of other AirPods models.

The fit is more comfortable, the acoustic seal is better, and they're less likely to fall out of your ears. You won't have to worry about taking them to the gym either, as they are IP54 water and sweat resistant, although they are not designed for water sports.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro have a different design compared to the AirPods Pro. They're 15% smaller than the Buds Pro and don't have the earphone stem that's common in Apple's in-ear headphones. The Buds2 Pro is available in Bora Purple, White, and Graphite.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro is IPX7 waterproof, so as long as they don't get wet, they should also fit well for workouts and gym use.

Sound quality and noise reduction

AirPods Pro headphones feature active noise cancellation (ANC). Unlike passive noise cancellation, which uses the physical seal of the earbuds, AirPods Pro uses the microphone to bring in sound, essentially eliminating ambient noise without interfering with your music or other audio.

Apple also included a clever trick to improve ANC in the AirPods Pro. There's a ventilation system that reduces the pressure caused by other noise-canceling earbuds. It manages to do this without weakening the ANC, which is impressive.

Switching from ANC mode to Transparent mode on AirPods Pro is simple and lets you hear what's around you when you need to.

Whether you're on your way to or from work or need to hear a notification, you're sure to be impressed by the sound quality, sharp highs, and powerful enhanced bass of AirPods Pro. The H2 chip supports all of these audio features, adding to the utility and value of this user-friendly option.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro also has ANC, which Samsung calls Intelligent Active Noise Cancellation. They operate in a similar way to the AirPods Pro, using an external microphone to balance out ambient noise.

However, the AirPods Pro excels at reducing background noise, from harsh train sounds to loud crowds and noisy PA systems, making it a top choice for those looking for a truly immersive audio experience.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro includes a Smart Conversation Mode that lets the outside world in through voice detection when necessary. They also support a range of audio features and enhancements. Samsung's earbuds offer six EQ settings in the app and full customization for more advanced users.

The AirPods Pro does have an adaptive equalizer, which is powered by the H2 chip and performs automatically, but you can only tweak so many individual settings.

Battery Life

With active active noise cancellation enabled, AirPods Pro lasts up to 6 hours on a full charge (30 hours with charging case).

Technically, this is slightly worse than Samsung's stated sustainable usage time of 5 hours (23 hours with charging case) for the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. The difference here is small though.

Software and Functionality

The AirPods Pros don't offer extensive EQ customization, but make up for it with many other features. After initial setup, they run an audio test to ensure optimal ANC fit. This feature is designed for convenience and provides a reassuring user experience by suggesting adjustments if the initial test results are unsatisfactory.

Apple's AirPods Pro offers a unique feature: spatial audio. This advanced technology creates virtual surround sound to enhance your gaming and media experiences. It even uses your phone's TrueDepth camera to understand the geometry of your head, creating custom profiles for a personalized fit. This innovative feature is sure to attract and impress potential buyers.

With built-in Siri and Bixby, you can activate them with voice commands to interact with your phone and smart home devices. This handy feature allows you to easily control things like volume and track playback.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro headphones are loaded with extra features on the software side. We've already talked about the various EQ options. In addition to the various EQ options, the Samsung Buds2 Pro offers a range of additional software.

These include reusable touch controls, dual audio for playback on both devices, and a voice assistant for commands. These additional features enhance the product's versatility and functionality.

final conclusion

If you're an iPhone user and already part of the Apple ecosystem, get AirPods Pro. They'll deliver great noise cancellation, consistent audio, and valuable integrations and enhancements for easy pairing.

While the AirPods Pro and Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro use Bluetooth 5.3, the AirPods Pro greatly benefits from the H2 chip.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro is a great option for Android users who like to use the many EQ customization options to create personalized sound profiles.
