The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus are true-wireless earbuds offering 11 hours of playback per charge and wireless charging support, delivering balanced AKG-tuned sound. They lack active noise cancellation and have only IPX2 resistance, which may limit use in noisy or wet environments. Ideal for Android users seeking long battery life and low-latency gaming.
The Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) are true-wireless earbuds offering active noise cancellation, a secure wing-tip fit, and seamless Apple H1 integration. Their battery life is limited to about 6 hours with ANC and the design can feel bulky for some users. Ideal for athletes and iPhone users who prioritize fit and ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Galaxy Buds+ for its dual-driver architecture, solid battery life with rapid charging, and reliable Bluetooth performance, while noting the missing ANC and limited bass impact.
Everyday users love the balanced AKG sound, long battery life, and compact case, but complain about fit variability, the absence of ANC, and occasional touch-control glitches.
“immersive AKG sound for music/videos”
“won't fall out even during intense activity”
Professional reviewers commend the Beats Fit Pro for its secure wingtip fit, strong ANC, and H1-driven Apple ecosystem features, noting its durability and bass-forward sound that suits active listeners. However, they point out ergonomic bulk, average mic performance, lack of multi-device pairing, and modest battery life as drawbacks.
Everyday users largely appreciate the secure fit during workouts, the robust build, and the convenient iPhone integration, while recurring concerns focus on fit comfort for smaller ears, the dominant bass response, and occasional microphone issues.
