hi hey what's going on everybody welcome back to another video and today
we're talking about the apple airpods pro versus the galaxy earbuds pro
and which one is right for you if you're just kind of uh i want good wireless headphones
casual type person like i am and not a crazy high-end audiophile so let's talk about it
yeah so i literally like can't hear myself talk right now because they both have
noise reduction turned on quick note on the microphone thing again i've said it in the
past couple of videos but i'm actually moving actually by the time this goes up
it'll be exactly one week yes so this video honestly had me curious because
you know while it seems kind of obvious that you may choose like oh i have an iphone therefore i
have airpods or i bought a samsung therefore i might as well get the galaxy but and there
definitely is truth to that they both can work on different devices and so maybe you don't have the
latest samsung but you have another android how well are the galaxy buds pro going to work can you
get any air pod functionality to work on android devices and those are all questions that i want
to answer in this video so before we get into the actual physical devices themselves let's of course
set the baseline with the price now at the time of this recording they're actually a lot closer
uh than originally they weren't too far off anyway i guess but uh while the galaxy buds pro are 199
you can pick up the airpods pro on amazon for 210. basically a 10 difference of course you can check
out the links in the description below to see if anything has changed so now let's talk about the
exterior cases now when it comes to size it kind of comes down to preference because
it depends how you look at it from straight on it may look like the galaxy buds pro
are smaller than the airpods pro but actually it is indeed taller obviously shorter width but it is
fatter so neither of them feel terrible in a pocket however i will say the air pods
feel slightly better because of the thinner design they feel like they're sticking out less and it
causes less just uncomfortable whatever inside your pockets almost like having a really thick
wallet that's what this is kind of feeling like the other thing i've started to judge products by
is how is there one-handed use because as a parent nowadays often i'm carrying a baby or a toddler
and it is very helpful when i can open a product one-handed and the airpods definitely have that
down i can open it the earbuds don't fall out in any way and obviously i can close it easily
as well for the galaxy buds pro i'm just proof i'll use the same hand it definitely can be
opened you can get your fingernail under there but definitely not as easy i've gotten a little
bit better at it and a lot of times i actually do knock out at least one of the headphones
since they're sitting in less of a deeper seat i guess you could say so this is basically opening
like a ring box so i guess if you're really good at that then you're good on the exterior they both
have a single led light to tell you when you're charging and when it's fully charged both of
them have their respective charging port which on the butts pro is going to be the usb type c
and on the airpods pro of course is going to be the lightning connector they both have
wireless charging and the air pods pro do have a white button on the back that kind of blends in
that you can use for repairing whereas this uh there's no physical button on it you have to
put in the headphones hold them both down until it beeps and that puts them into pairing mode
now the setup process i think no one can debate that hands down apple has the best setup process
you literally take these out of the box you open the case up near your phone and you're
going to be presented with hey connect these and then boom you're done not only are you connected
to that phone or device but is then connected to every single other device uh using that apple id
so by connecting one time i now am connected to my apple watch my iphone ipad and mac computer these
guys are a little bit different story they're not terrible by all means you can just go into
pretty much any device including an iphone and go to the bluetooth settings and connect them to
them however if you just do it that way like a normal pair of headphones you're not going
to get access to any kind of like the airpods they're just going to be bluetooth headphones
kind of stuck in a default mode they're not going to have transparency mode noise reduction
they're just gonna be a tight fit with pretty good sounding headphones so if for whatever reason you
like the style and fit of these they do work with the iphone and the general tabs do work
you can tap once for it to pause tap twice for it to skip the next song but of course you're not
going to have definitely not like bixby support or whatever google voice and it's not going to
control siri either and the same goes in reverse for the airpods to an android device is you can
connect them as general bluetooth headphones but they're not going to have any of the other smart
functionalities now the proper way to connect the earbuds pro is going to be downloading the samsung
wear app in here you will see the latest buds pro as well as any of the other wearable devices
that you can connect to and here's where it is a nicer setup but it still is a multi-step process
way more button clicks than what you have on the iphone you have to agree to terms and conditions
but once you get through that setup process you have a really nice interface where you can change
between the transparency the noise reduction you can change the eq and in here is definitely
my favorite smart feature which is the voice detect now for quite some time now in the airpods
definitely do it have it to where you can take one out and it will pause whatever you're listening to
as soon as you put it back in it's going to replay that's awesome the airpods do it great just fine
but what the buzz pro introduced was voice detect and that is where let's say you go to you know
you're standing in line at like a starbucks or something you get to the front line now it's time
for you to order as soon as you start talking it is going to pause and then after 10 seconds of you
not talking is then going to resume whatever it is you're playing now christian and i tested this out
basically where we were talking kind of close to each other to see if if the other person
continues to talk will it keep playing and it actually did pretty well in conversation of
waiting uh to play until both parties that were kind of close and talking loudly stepped away
from each other in a busy environment i can see it kind of getting confused but i didn't really
have a lot of situations to test that out because you know covid now to be honest i may have missed
this part of the keynote speech and if you have a galaxy s21 feel free to correct me in the comments
but using the samsung wearable app seemed to be the only and best way to get all of the features
there wasn't any like quick setup like it is on the iphone and with the air pods where you
just open it up for the first time and hope it pairs we tried that with my buddy christian's
galaxy s20 and obviously in a couple weeks we'll try it with s21 if you guys correct me
but that also means if you have another android device that's not a samsung galaxy line it should
work the exact same way we took my oneplus n10 and connected it to the samsung wearable app
and it's set up all the same with all the same features that the samsung line had so no matter
what android phone you have you can definitely take full advantage of the galaxy buttons pro
pretty cool and one thing that is kind of a hit or miss depending on the person you talk to
is going to be on the airpods pro spatial audio i love it now of course it is emulating audio to act
like the surround sound without being an actual surround sound but i think as long as you're
watching a movie show or just anything that has a support for it is pretty awesome now when it comes
to sweat and water resistance there is definitely a difference here where the airpod pros are ipx4
which means they can be kind of splashed from anywhere which means if you're caught in the rain
or obviously sweat whereas the galaxy buds pro are going to be ipx7 which means they can be
fully submerged for uh three feet or one meter for up to 30 minutes all right so let's talk about the
fit now putting them in and taking them out of the years a million percent i personally have
to go with the airpods pro but for these i almost like that there's a little bit of a stem it's just
something to grab onto that you can easily put in and easily take out there's not much fuss and once
they're in there it just feels like nothing's in there countless times have i kept walking around
and especially in transparency mode you just forget that they're in there so for long periods
of time they're completely comfortable i can run i can shake and they're just not going to fall out
now it comes to the galaxy buds pro typically i actually don't like this sort of design not
harder to put in but more uncomfortable to put in so since they don't have any sort of stem they're
supposed to be kind of flush to your ear and you kind of got to push them in significantly
more and yes it is nice that you don't have a stem sticking down but right now it feels like i have a
giant thing in my ear i can feel them literally on the outside of my ear as well just because
the actual housing is so large now once they're in there they are a nice tight fit and both of
them for noise reduction they block out sound really well i'd argue that again for my ears
these are a tighter fit which is probably why it's a little bit more uncomfortable but has a little
bit better noise uh cancellation as well now the only plus to the larger things on the outside here
is the fact that using the controls is definitely i think way more accurate on these if i touch as
i'm just playing with these right now every time i touch it is responding to that doing whatever it
is a single touch double touch long press and hold is supposed to do taking them out is way harder
though hey taking these out now on the airpods pro they don't actually have a just regular
old tap you actually have to press the stems and while it is a tactile feel since they they're so
much smaller especially since the first generation if you have any sort of gloves on or just bigger
fingers or hands it can be hard to kind of hit it quickly each time the galaxy buds pro you kind of
your muscles already know where to go for your ear canal and so it just kind of taps there and it's a
large enough surface area to wear taps you never really miss where these i don't know i just find
myself having to press really hard and it's just a little bit more of annoyance pretty nitpicky but
and finally we have sound quality again i'm not audiophile enough to be like the mid-tones of the
airpods are a little bit raised where the galaxy buds have a much better depending on the song
depending on the movie the content the eq that you change them to i played around with all the
different settings and they both sound on par with each other and these are two of the leading brands
in the industry and so for 200 bucks you're going to get decent bass decent mids and decent highs
everything sounds well balanced and is enjoyable to listen to whether it's music or movies podcasts
or anything in between from low volumes all the way up to max which i definitely don't recommend
you're gonna get really good sound output and nothing's going to start to break or sound tinny
the louder you get they sound great i have no complaints with the sound i think they sound
incredible i've seen too many reviews from people who are audiophiles and they'd say they sound like
for ash or something and it's just not true the average person spends 200 bucks i think
is going to be perfectly happy with the sound quality and there you have it that is a guy who
usually talks about cameras and phones and stuff his take on the latest wireless headphones let
me know what you guys think about this video was this enjoyable did you like kind of a more casual
everyday person's take on these headphones let me know down in the comments below which one you
