Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Specifications And Features

Each earpiece has three microphones with two on the outer while one on the inside of the earpiece. Along with these it also comes with a separate voice pickup unit and a wind shield.

For detailed sound, the earbuds have a two-way driver system that combines an 11mm woofer with a 6.5mm tweeter within the driver casing.

The company also claims the buds can cut the external background noise by up to 99%. There are also 4 adjustable levels of noise cancellation as well.

The earbuds have several features designed to work best with Samsung Galaxy devices. Both smartphones, as well as tablets, work better with earbuds. There is a new ‘auto switch’ feature that allows the earphones to maintain a simultaneous connection with two Galaxy devices.

Along with the charging case, the total battery life is claimed to be up to 28 hours with ANC off and with it on up to 18 hours.
