In January 2021, Samsung entered a more mature chapter of its wireless audio story with the Galaxy Buds Pro — a $199 pair of earbuds that represents the company's most deliberate attempt yet to reconcile ambition with execution. Where earlier models gambled on unconventional design or sacrificed key features, the Pro model returns to fundamentals: a conventional fit, dual-driver audio, and noise cancellation capable of blocking 99% of ambient sound. It is, in essence, Samsung acknowledging what listeners actually need, and asking whether refined engineering can finally close the gap with Apple
