Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro vs Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless - 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 Galaxy Buds Pro from Samsung and the Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless.

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 battery life of the Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless is longer here with 9,0 hours, which is of course better. With a lower battery life of up to 8,0 hours, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro scores worse at this point. 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro* offers more at this point. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 28,0 hours. The Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless comes insgsamt to a battery performance of up to 27,0 hours.

Noise Cancelling: ANC

A big issue and a practical thing is the active noise cancellation. The headphones differ here. Only with the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro do you get ANC (Active Noise Cancelling). With the Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless you have to do without it.

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 Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro* here offers 4 pieces per side more than the Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless with 2 microphones per earbud.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Both headphones from the comparison have IP certification. However, the degree of protection is different. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro is certified with IPX7. With the Sennheiser SPORT True Wireless, you get IP54 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.
