The earbuds also have Dolby head tracking, which provides 360-degree audio playback when watching a movie or TV show. You can feel the direction of the sound by moving your head. Another cool feature is Auto Switch, which automatically switches the connection between devices depending on the scenario. For example, if you watch a movie on your Galaxy Tab and receive a call on your Galaxy phone, the headphones will pause and switch to the phone for the call, and then switch back to the tab when the call ends.
The Galaxy Buds Pro has a battery life of 8 hours on a single charge (28 hours with a case). The time is reduced to 5 hours if you have active noise canceling (ANC) enabled. It also supports fast charging - charging in five minutes will provide one hour of playtime. The case supports both USB-C wired charging and Qi wireless charging.
Samsung has also made it easier to find in case of loss. Using the SmartThings app, the earbuds will beep to let you know where you put them. There is also an offline search function that will tell you where the earbuds were last used, even if they are no longer connected to your device. Please note that some of these features are only available on Galaxy devices with specific software versions.
