Try the galaxy buds plus they’re much better at everything for me. This firmware update probably kneecapped the pros too, either a patent issue or worries about people walking into traffic. https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/17/21069953/apple-airpods-pro-noise-cancellation-problems-firmware-2b588-2c54 https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/17/21069953/apple-airpods-pr...

+1 here. The base Galaxy Buds destroy the Airpods in sound quality any day of the week, and they're mega-comfortable too. I don't use mine anymore, but I loved it when I did.

How slick is the GB integratation with iOS devices in comparison to the AirPods. Been considering getting some AP3s because I keep forgetting my ATH-M50Xs as they are large.

  Never had AirPods but comparing the Powerbeats I had, not much of a noticeable difference. Touch controls work, I hold to change volume, they fit and don’t fall out, it’s got 11hr batteries on a single charge. It turns off when you take them off, pipewire connects to them automatically on Linux.

Just a personal note on the galaxy buds plus, I have a pair and while the sounds quality is good when it works, I've had a lot of problems with desyncing between the two earbuds, audio breakup, and the touch sensors are sensitive to a fault where they're not really usable. The case is also pretty flimsy feeling. Overall, I'm not incredibly impressed by them but YMMV

I did. I got the Galaxy Buds Pro. They are excellent. They don't have an app for iOS, but I used an Android phone to configure them. Something changed in their firmware earlier this year that made noise cancelling imbalanced (for me). After replacing them for a new set, I landed up getting Sony WF1000XM4s, which have also been excellent and even better at NC than the Pros were.
