OnePlus Buds vs Samsung Galaxy Buds - Where are the differences?

There are a few differences between the two True-Wireless Headphones. Let's take a closer look at the points in comparison between the Buds from OnePlus and the Samsung Galaxy Buds.

Which headphones have the better battery life?

A crucial point for headphones without cables is always the battery life. Here many headphones differ and the capacity grows from year to year. The OnePlus Buds trumps with a better battery life of up to 7,0 hours. The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Buds is up to 5,1 hours. Depending on the settings, the battery life turns out significantly lower. The specifications always refer to the ideal case.

For true-wireless headphones, an additional battery in the case has become popular. This way the headphones gain more battery life and can be conveniently charged on the go. In terms of overall performance, the OnePlus Buds* offers more at this point. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 30,0 hours. The Samsung Galaxy Buds comes insgsamt to a battery performance of up to 12,0 hours.

Wie werden die Kopfhörer geladen?

Bei dem Ladenanschluss setzten beide Geräte auf die gleiche Technologie. Beide werden per USB-C geladen.

Ein höhrer Standard ist hier immer besser. Die Ladedauer wird verkürzt und du kannst, wenn alle Geräte aktuell sind, die gleichen Kabel nutzen.

Die Ladedauer der Geräte:

• OnePlus Buds*: 10,0 minutes Ladezeit für 10,0 hours Akkulaufzeit
• Samsung Galaxy Buds*: 15,0 minutes Ladezeit für 1,6 hours Akkulaufzeit

Noise Cancelling: ANC

Practical, but not always available: Atkive Noise Cancelling. Both headphones come without Active Noise Cancelling (short: ANC). Thus, you have to do without active noise cancellation with the OnePlus Buds and the Samsung Galaxy Buds.

How many microphones are there?

Let's move on to the topic of microphones, which also have an impact on voice quality and noise cancellation. Most headphones no longer relied on just one microphone, but several. The OnePlus Buds* here offers 3 pieces per side more than the Samsung Galaxy Buds with 2 microphones per earbud.

Welche Bluetooth Version ist verbaut?

On the subject of Bluetooth, we don't have any differences between the OnePlus Buds and Samsung Galaxy Buds. Both TWS headphones run via Bluetoot 5.0. In general, a newer version is always better. Here, the Bluetooth affects the quality of the transmission and the energy consumption.

Are there changeable attachments?

In contrast to the OnePlus Buds, the Samsung Galaxy Buds* offers you changeable attachments for the ear studs. This gives you more wearing comfort and the headphones can be individually adjusted to the ears.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Both headphones from the comparison have IP certification. However, the degree of protection is different. The OnePlus Buds is certified with IPX4. With the Samsung Galaxy Buds, you get IPX2 certification. However, an IP certification does not directly mean waterproof. Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better. With Bluetooth headphones there is also the problem that Bluetooth is disturbed by water. Thus, the use when swimming is only possible with special headphones.
