Apple AirPods Pro 3
Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro are similar products technologically, but they cater to two different audiences. While you can use either device on Android or iOS devices, each locks most customization and functionality unless you're in the corresponding ecosystem. The Apple lock most customization, live translate, and their heart-rate monitor behind iOS, while Samsung's Hi-Res Samsung Seamless Codec only works with compatible devices from the brand. If you don't care about the brand-exclusive features, both are still neck-and-neck. The Apple have better noise isolation performance and longer battery life, while the Samsung have a somewhat smoother sound profile and better overall build.
