Hear now, prolific music listeners: there’s yet another pair of premium true wireless earbuds competing for your dollar. As part of its latest Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung announced the Galaxy Buds Pro, its most advanced in-ears to date.

The Buds Pro no longer look exactly like jelly beans, but do adopt the same metallic design as the old Galaxy Buds Live, while a supposed better seal in your ear should help with the noise-cancellation. An IPX7 rating makes them workout-ready, but it’s what’s inside that’s really interesting.

The pairing of an 11mm woofer with a 6.5mm tweeter balances, Samsung says, deeper bass with crisp treble, while the three microphones and voice pickup unit should mean you’re not drowned out by dog barks and screaming kids – you know, the usual working-from-home conditions.

And Samsung says the Galaxy Buds Pro have the most advanced ANC of any true wireless earbuds. Noise-cancelling and ambient modes can be fine-tuned, and like Sony’s XM4 headphones, they automatically detect when you’re talking to adjust the ANC and pause audio accordingly. Best Buds yet?
