The latestSamsung Galaxy Buds Proleaks suggest that they could be the company’sbest wireless earbudsyet, with enhanced battery life, water-resistance, active noise cancellation, and support for object-based virtual surround sound.
The specs were leaked to91Mobilesby tipsterIshan Argawal, who says the rumoredtrue wireless earbudswill come with 28 hours of battery life, which is approximately 20% more than the battery life of their predecessors, the Galaxy Buds Live.
Argawal also claims that the Galaxy Buds Pro will boast an IPX7 water-resistance rating, which means they should survive a short immersion in water – but more importantly, it means they should be suitable for working out, easily able to withstand sweat or rain.
Neither theSamsung Galaxy Buds Livenor theGalaxy Buds Plushad comprehensive water resistance, so this would represent a real step up for the company’s wireless earbuds.
Cheaper than the AirPods Pro
According to Argawal, the Galaxy Buds Pro will come with 11mm bass drivers and 6.5mm tweeters with coaxial dual speakers, so they should be able to deliver powerful low frequencies.
As well as hearing about some of the specs we can expect from the Galaxy Buds Pro, we’ve been given our first idea of their price. According toXDA Developers, they’ll set you back $199, which works out at roughly £110 / AU$260.
If that price is proven true, they;’ll be cheaper than theApple AirPods Pro, making them a more budget-friendly alternative to the popular wireless earbuds.
