Pixel Buds Pro Vs Galaxy Buds Pro: Best $199 Earbuds

The Pixel Buds Pro marks Google's third attempt at making genuinely wireless earbuds. The earbuds come after the Pixel Buds (2020) and the more affordable Pixel Buds-A series released in 2021.
Samsung, on the other hand, has more experience with earbuds. Its journey into the wireless earbuds market started in 2016 with the Gear IconX.

It launched the Galaxy Buds that year and followed it up with more models, including the bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live and the Galaxy Buds Pro, released in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
