#TECH: Improved features in an attractive design

USING earbuds has become a new norm for most smartphone users, and the days of wired earphones are slowly leaving us as it makes more sense and stylish to use.

If you're using a particular brand of smartphone, getting earbuds under the same brand will give you an extra edge. This is due to the product design and engineering which normally gives advantage to products under the same family.

Samsung's new earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro is designed to give users the best sound quality in a small form factor.

The Galaxy Buds Pro looks slightly different from the first Galaxy Buds launched last year, but they are about the same size.

Design and features

The Galaxy Buds Pro comes in a small and attractive design, which is small enough to comfortably fit in the ear without any protruding part. This is a "cool" design as most of the other earbuds have a somewhat protruding design. Wearing this looks like you're not using any earbuds from a certain angle unless you look from sideways. The glossy and reflective outer part makes it quite outstanding.

A common adage in the field of modern design is that 'form follows function', meaning that the design process should start with the product's intended functionality rather than any aesthetic stimulation. This same principle was applied to Galaxy Buds Pro by the Samsung Electronics design team, who understood that wireless earphones must first and foremost provide the best possible experience to users.

When the earbuds fit into the ear, you can give about, do exercise, etc without worrying it will fall off because it will not. It fits really well in the ear.

Despite it being small, slightly smaller than an average thumb, the Galaxy Buds Pro is definitely not "tiny" in features.

According to Samsung, in order to stay secure in the ear without any wingtips, the three common points of the ear were taken into account: the tragus (extending outward in front of the earhole), the antitragus (lying across the tragus) and the helix (the space behind the earhole). When an earbud is settled around these three points, the need for wingtips is removed; accordingly, the Galaxy Buds Pro will be able to fit comfortably, ergonomically and without the need for further protruding design aspects.

It has impressive features lined up for consumers whose requirements are always on phone calls and video conferencing at home or anywhere.

The advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is something that many users will appreciate.

It has some intelligence built into it that when you're wearing it and start to speak to someone, the ANC will be naturalised and automatically to allow you to quickly focus on your conversation. You'll realise that whatever music you're listening to will be tuned down.

The Galaxy Buds Pro automatically switches from ANC to Ambient Sound by lowering down the volume, so you need not remove your earbuds to communicate with others around you.

Besides that, the setting up of the device is also pretty straight forward and can be done in less than a minute.

Users will also appreciate that the Galaxy Buds Pro has a IPX7 rating, which means they can use the buds while doing some sweaty exercise routines without worrying that the device will be spoilt.

App support

If you're using a Samsung phone, you can also take advantage of the Galaxy Wearable app, which is built into the Samsung eco system.

With the app, users will be able to have more control on features on the Galaxy Buds Pro, such as noise control, voice detect, ANC level, touch and hold functions where they can assign what function they want each bud to have - like volume up and down, Bixby, Spotify and switch noise control.

Besides that, the app also allows users to choose their preferred equalizer, such as normal, bass boost, soft, dynamic, clear and treble boost.

There is also a gaming mode which can be turned on and this will minimise audio delay for a more vivid and synchronised gaming sound.

Besides that, users can also set up the find my earbuds function to help keep track of the device should it go missing.

Sound quality

The sound quality produced by the Galaxy Buds Pro is great. It is able to produce deep bass and clear and crisp acoustic sounds, and this can be adjusted further in the equalizer feature.

Listening to all kinds of music genres as well, movies just sound great, from the highest treble to the deepest bass, notes come through beautifully, thanks to custom-built two-way speakers with sound by AKG. Galaxy Buds Pro offers quite an immersive sound experience.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a good earbuds to go with your Samsung phone or even any other Android phones, the Galaxy Buds Pro should be in your list. It comes in three colours - phantom violet, black and silver, and it is priced at RM799.
