Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and Google Pixel Buds Pro similar in how loud their sound gets
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Google Pixel Buds Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery.
