The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are tipped to land next month alongside the Galaxy S21 series at Samsung's Virtual Galaxy Unpacked event. With only days to go before launch, leaks have already revealed the design and a handful of standout features. The headline promise is a strong, theater-like sound experience packed into a pair of true wireless earbuds.
What the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro leak reveals
According to tipster Ishan Agarwal, the Galaxy Buds Pro will offer multiple levels of active noise cancellation along with ambient sound support. The defining touch here is control: users will be able to adjust both the noise cancellation and the ambient sound to suit their preference.
The approach draws a clear comparison to rival earbuds already on the market. As leaked, the feature set lines up with what listeners expect from premium true wireless models.
- Multiple-level active noise cancellation
- Adjustable ambient sound support
- Possible automatic switching for ambient sound mode
- 3D Spatial Audio with head tracking
How the noise cancellation compares
This adjustable approach is similar to the Jabra Elite 85t, which gives users 11 different levels to select their noise cancellation. On the Galaxy Buds Pro, listeners will also get the ability to fine-tune ambient sound. That ambient feature may behave much like the system on the Huawei Freebuds Studio.
Controlling the features
The tipster did not confirm whether these two features would be managed through an app or via controls built into the earbuds themselves. The expectation, however, is that the Galaxy Wearable app may be needed to access these settings on the buds.
Theater-like sound and 3D Spatial Audio
Automatic switching support for ambient sound mode could also feature on these buds, kicking in when the earbuds detect the wearer's voice. Ishan Agarwal added that the Galaxy Buds Pro will include 3D Spatial Audio with head tracking support. Apple introduced a comparable feature for its AirPods Pro a few months earlier. The payoff of this feature is a theater-like sound experience delivered straight to your ears.
