The noise canceling isn't as effective, however, as in the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, which is currently the best noise canceling in the true-wireless category. I have a noisy HVAC unit in my apartment that blows air and I went from hearing it a little too clearly to having the sound muffled really well, basically on par with the noise canceling of the AirPods Pro. Suddenly the noise canceling worked a lot better. I ended up trying an extra-large pair of tips from the Beats Flex, stretching them over the oval nozzle, which allowed me to get a tight seal (and the buds still fit in the charging case even with the jumbo tips). Since I know my ears are unique to me and that this problem might only affect a small percentage of users, I went hunting for some new tips, which I happen to have a lot of because I'm always testing new earbuds.

The Buds Plus (left) fit my ears better than the Buds Pro. I thought to myself, "Damn, the noise canceling sucks even though Samsung says it cancels out up to 99% of external background noise." I had some similar issues with the Jabra Elite 85t earbuds, which also have oval nozzles and tips. The nozzles and tips have an oval shape and for whatever reason, I didn't get a tight seal and it really impacted the noise-canceling performance more so than the sound quality. The problem is, however, that I couldn't get a really tight seal with any of the included ear tips. So it went with this new design that doesn't have quite as deep a fit. Samsung told me that some people felt the Buds Plus' tips probed into their ear canal a little too deeply.
GALAXY BUDS CASE PRO

The Buds Pro come in three color options - phantom black, silver and violet - and they're fully waterproof, with an IPX7 rating that's the highest yet for a set of Samsung earbuds. It's nice and compact - it looks a little like a ring box - and has USB-C and wireless charging.

They sort of seem like a cross between the Galaxy Buds Plus and the Galaxy Buds Live and while the earbuds look different from the Buds Live, the charging case is essentially the same. The Galaxy Buds Pro have a totally new design.
