In the battle of the truly-wireless headphones, here are the key differences between Apple's newest AirPods and Samsung's Galaxy Buds.
It's pretty easy to connect Galaxy Buds to a Samsung Galaxy phone, as you might expect. However, it gets tricky for other Android phones: You'll need to download both the SmartThings and Galaxy Wearable apps to make it work. No matter which phone you use it with, the controls aren't as customizable as AirPods, either.When it comes to actually using both pairs of earbuds, I found there were drastic differences in the sound quality.
On the AirPods, the sound quality was great, and in line with other headphones and earbuds I've used over the years.However, the lack of bass was noticeable when listening to the same song with the Galaxy Buds. Even with the volume all the way up and the equalizer setting in the app set on"bass boost," the bass didn't come through as strongly as I would've liked.The second-generation AirPods are only available in Apple's trademark white, and cost $199.
