IP ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, Google Pixel Buds Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than Google Pixel Buds Pro
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a weight of 9.4g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro, at 12.4g
are heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by of 3g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together. Google Pixel Buds Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have sweat resistance
Google Pixel Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Google Pixel Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing 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 sounds.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and Google Pixel Buds Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 driver unit is 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 5 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. This is given by the manufacturer, and Samsung Galaxy Buds3's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Google Pixel Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 4 hours
It requires 5 hours to fully charge the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Google Pixel Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 4 hours
Samsung Galaxy Buds3, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just place down on a supported charging pad. Google Pixel Buds Pro also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case. Google Pixel Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Google Pixel Buds Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have Bluetooth version of 5.4, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Google Pixel Buds Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Google Pixel Buds Pro support AAC as well.
Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy environments. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
