Since I know my ears are unique to me and that this problem might only affect a small percentage of users, I went hunting for some new tips, which I happen to have a lot of because I'm always testing new earbuds.

The Buds Plus (left) fit my ears better than the Buds Pro. I thought to myself, "Damn, the noise canceling sucks even though Samsung says it cancels out up to 99% of external background noise." I had some similar issues with the Jabra Elite 85t earbuds, which also have oval nozzles and tips. The nozzles and tips have an oval shape and for whatever reason, I didn't get a tight seal and it really impacted the noise-canceling performance more so than the sound quality. The problem is, however, that I couldn't get a really tight seal with any of the included ear tips. So it went with this new design that doesn't have quite as deep a fit. Samsung told me that some people felt the Buds Plus' tips probed into their ear canal a little too deeply.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are out now for $200.Galaxy S21 to Buds Pro: Everything Samsung announced.Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra arrive Jan.They just kind of nestle in my ears and they have a little rubber fin that helps lock them into place. But the Buds Plus fit me a little better overall. (IPX means they can be fully submerged in 3 feet of water for 30 minutes.) I got the black version and the buds fit my ears securely - I was able to run with them without a problem. The Buds Pro come in three color options - phantom black, silver and violet - and they're fully waterproof, with an IPX7 rating that's the highest yet for a set of Samsung earbuds. It's nice and compact - it looks a little like a ring box - and has USB-C and wireless charging. They sort of seem like a cross between the Galaxy Buds Plus and the Galaxy Buds Live and while the earbuds look different from the Buds Live, the charging case is essentially the same.
The Galaxy Buds Pro have a totally new design.

While Bluetooth audio works with iPhones, Galaxy Buds app for iOS isn't supported.Currently, 360 Audio virtual surround only works with new S21 models.Without a tight seal, noise-canceling performance drops.May not fit everyone's ears equally well.You can remap this control if you want volume control, voice commands, or if you want the buds to launch Spotify on command so that you can listen to your favorite tracks. Touch and hold for two seconds: Cycles through ANC on and talk through mode, which allows you to better hear your surroundings without taking out the earbuds.There are different beeps to let you know when you've registered a command, but there are no voice prompts.
The control scheme also lacks volume controls by default, and although you can remap controls via their companion app, you can lose out on other controls instead. However, some users may find the surface overly sensitive, and you may accidentally register a command if you're adjusting the buds' fit. There's a touch-sensitive surface on both earbuds, and they're easy to use. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have passable controls.
