Removing one bud will automatically pause music and enable Ambient Sound mode on the opposite bud. If you’re worried about the buds being sensitive to touch, the companion app has an option to lock the touch panels, that way you don’t end a call or turn on the wrong feature by mistake. Happily, you now have a bit more flexibility.

For instance, you can now raise or lower the volume by double-tapping the earbuds' edges previously you had to bind volume controls to the tap-and-hold gesture, meaning if you wanted instant volume adjustment you had to give up other inputs like switching between sound modes. Overall, the controls are responsive, and Samsung has made them even better with post-release firmware updates. The Galaxy Buds Pro comes loaded with several smart controls that consist of tap and hold gestures, plus on-ear detection. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro review: Touch controls and digital assistant Personally, I still find the AirPods Pro to be the more comfortable and better-fitting pair. The Galaxy Buds Pro sits securely on the ears when properly adjusted and creates a decent seal to enjoy audio fully once locked in, though your concha will experience some soreness after about an hour of wear. The latter’s one-size-fits-all approach was poorly executed and provided very little on-ear stability. Fit-wise, the Galaxy Buds Pro compared to the Galaxy Buds Live is night and day.
