This is a totally unbiased comparison. I know some people love Apple and some love Samsung, but I have no affiliation with any brand. These are both pieces of plastic with speakers in them and I want to determine which is better for you, so this will be a totally black and white comparison. Please remember to vote in the comment section.


Additional review notes:
Touch controls: both have single, double, triple, and tap+hold functions
Galaxy buds+ also have double tap top for volume controls
Galaxy buds+ also allow you to customize touch & hold controls to function differently on left and right earbuds. Each can do one of four functions: spotify summon, assistant summon, volume up/down, and toggle between ambient (transparency) modes.
Airpods Pro are less likely to have accidental touches
Airpods cannot summon google assistant


1. BASICS:
Airpods Pro cost $250
Galaxy Buds Plus cost $150
Airpods are highlighted for their active noise cancellation (ANC)
Galaxy buds are available in multiple colors (white, black, blue, red) while Airpods Pro are only available in white
Comfort - Airpods Pro have a vent and no plastic in your ear (just silicone tip) but the Galxy Buds plus have no stem, and have wing tips, so I think they are both equally comfortable for me

2. PHYSICAL
Waterproofing: Airpods Pro are rated for IPX4 while Galaxy Buds+ are rated for IPX2
Fit - 3 ear tips with airpods pro, 3 eartips and 3 wingtips with galaxy buds plus
Battery - Airpods Pro are rated for 4.5 hrs per bud, while Galaxy Buds + are rated for 11 each
Battery (case) - Airpods Pro are rated for 24 hrs total with case, Galaxy Buds + are reated for 22
Case quality - both are premium, but the airpods clearly have a more expensive build with an aluminum hinge (some report loose hinges though, but mine feels nice)
Buds quality - both feel premium and use similar materials
Aesthetic - I will not comment on this much, but the airpods pro clearly stick out much farther
Airpods Pro case sort of needs to be closed to sit on a table (cannot sit open like the Galaxy’s)
Both have wireless charging capabilities
Charging - Galaxy buds plus use USB-C while Airpods Pro use lightning
Sensors (Airpods Pro) - dual optical sensors, motion detection accelerometer, speech detection accelerometer, dual beaming mics, force sensor

4. SOUND QUALITY (mentioned in video)
5. MICRPHONE

Galaxy Buds Plus have one interior and two exterior mics on each bud

OPERATING SYSTEMS:
If you use Android, the airpods pro will work as follows:
You will be able to use transparency mode and ANC (controlling on the earbuds though, not on the phone like you can with an iphone)
You won’t get siri obviously, or any

CONCLUSION:
That was a lot of info, but in conclusion, the galaxy buds plus are a nice pair of midrange earbuds with a very wide feature set. That means that these will offer excellent customization for almost everyone, they fit nicely, have excellent audio quality, and a very long battery life. These work well for Apple or Android users who want great, compact earbuds in one of four colors. These are not the best for anyone frequently in a loud environment because they do not have ANC.
