An advantage of companion apps for truly wireless earbuds is that they can push software updates that improve functionality. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro, as we mentioned in our review, are a really great set of all-rounder earbuds. They are now receiving a second update that improves some of their key features.
The update weighs in at just a little over 2MB and should be available for download via the Galaxy Wearable app. The first thing it improves is active noise cancellation (ANC), which has been quite effective to begin with; as David said, “they could try a few cheaper over-ear noise canceling headphones.” The update also improves ambient sound. However, it is not clear exactly how.
Voice detection, a new feature that Samsung introduced with the Buds Pro, also gets better with the new update. According to the changelog, the switching speed has been further improved. If you don’t know, this mode automatically recognizes when the wearer is speaking and lowers the volume of what they are listening to.
As mentioned earlier, this is the second update to appear on Buds Pro after launch. The former added a hearing enhancement feature while improving the stability and reliability of the system.
