Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) vs Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro

The Galaxy Buds4 Pro is the stronger pick for most shoppers: dual drivers per earbud, six microphones, IP57 protection and longer battery life make it the more capable and more durable set. The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is the better fit for iPhone owners who want tight Apple integration, Adaptive Transparency and Personalized Spatial Audio. Reviewers rate the Samsung higher on average, though from far more ratings, while the AirPods' smaller sample still lands well. Build favors Samsung on water and dust resistance; Apple's edge is software and ecosystem, not hardware.

• Choose the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) if you use an iPhone, iPad or Mac and want seamless pairing, Siri, spatial audio with head tracking and Adaptive Transparency.
• Choose the Galaxy Buds4 Pro if you want dual drivers, six mics for calls, IP57 dust and water resistance and longer playback per charge.
