Promising specs

So far, we’ve heard that Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro will come with active noise cancellation and support forDolby Atmos– making them a potential alternative to theApple AirPods Profor Android users.
The earbuds are also said to come with AKG-tune audio, a longer battery life than their predecessors, support for Bluetooth 5.1, and USB-C charging. Those specs certainly sound promising, but Samsung’s mixed history when it comes to audio devices means we’re tempering our expectations; theGalaxy Buds Plus, for example, were let down by limited audio codec support and a disappointing IPX2 water-resistance rating.
