Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro vs Soundcore Liberty Neo - Where are the differences?
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 Soundcore Liberty Neo.
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 Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro trumps with a better battery life of up to 8,0 hours. The battery life of the Soundcore Liberty Neo is up to 5,0 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro* offers more at this point. With Case, the headphones have a battery life of up to 28,0 hours. The Soundcore Liberty Neo comes insgsamt to a battery performance of up to 20,0 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 Soundcore Liberty Neo 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 Soundcore Liberty Neo with 2 microphones per earbud.
Can the earbuds be used separately?
The right earbud can be used independently of the left earbud on almost any True-Wireless headphone. This is also the case with both devices from this comparison. Rarely, the left headphone can be used separately, because they work in dependency of the right ear plug. Mostly the right headphone is the so called master. This special function is only supported by the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.
Are the headphones waterproof?
Both headphones from the comparison have IPX7 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.
