Good and bad but the bad for me was the deal breaker.

I will keep this short as I am sure the overall rating speaks for itself. I have had these buds for several months so needless to say I have had ample time to test them and provide a reasonable review. PROS: For all the newer features the Galaxy Buds Pro offer, I do have to say I find them worthwhile for me anyways. I active noise cancellation does well. I can be in the grocery store with this feature on and will not hear anything. I can also be mowing the lawn with this feature and its very quiet. Ambient sound does its job to me however I just personally rather take off the headphones and not attempt to multi-task trying to listen to something on the buds and the area around me at the same time. The buds come with three different size tips for the ear pieces to accommodate different ear sizes and shapes which is typical for the bud series(i have had three different sets of buds). Battery life between the case and the buds for my purposes was just fine. I did not use them everyday granted but I never had to worry about the battery being down on them. CONS: For all the positives I did list, my main problem for me is that THEY WILL NOT STAY IN MY EAR!!! I could be working out or mowing the lawn and guaranteed at least one of the buds will fall out of my ear. There is not as much of the bud actually going into your ear unlike the buds +. I have used all three ear tip pieces from small to large and no matter what after a while they just will not stay in your ear. So annoying and as much as I love Samsung products, I cannot from my experience endorse these to anyone. Hopefully Samsung redoes the design for a future pair.

Upgrading from the original galaxy buds was disappointing

I had high hopes for these buds. I placed my order as soon as it was available on amazon. The unboxing was great as usual by Samsung, however, the buds tell a different story. These buds are visibly bloated compared the original galaxy buds and that has caused these buds to fit poorly in my ears. I find myself constantly readjusting these buds as well as experiencing ear fatigue after several hours of wearing them which I never got from my original galaxy buds with the rubber wingtips. These buds do have integrated wingtips, but the previously mentioned bloat of the buds do not allow the wingtips to be held in my ear. The sound quality was a significant improvement with a punchier bass which was a major positive for me. The square puck-sized case is much better than the awkward pill case that held the original buds. The battery life is disappointing in these buds and the ANC (active noise cancellation) is even more disappointing. There is no difference in the noise cancellation and the noise isolation is awful, worse than the original buds due to the improper fit in my ears. Noise cancellation does not matter much when there is no noise isolation. Pros for making the buds bloated in size: 1. Better ambient sound 2. Active noise canceling 3. Significantly improved sound (especially the bass) Negatives for making the buds bloated in size: 1. Buds hang loose in your ears and constantly require readjusting 2. Ear fatigue that was so painful I had to take them out after only a couple of hours of listening 3. Significantly decreased battery life I really wanted these buds to be good since the ambient sound was miles better than the original buds and the voice detection worked flawlessly. After reviewing all these issues, I am going to return this and sit things out. I have been waiting for years since the original galaxy buds came out for a far better version so I am really disappointed that these we poorly designed. Samsung had great momentum with every iteration of their buds which increasingly got better over time so it's a shame they couldn't fulfill their quality standards.
