SAMSUNG has started to roll-out another firmware update to its all-new Galaxy Buds Pro, which promise to boost the active noise-cancellation and the clever Voice Detect mode.
Galaxy Buds Pro have only been on store shelves for a few days, but Samsung has already started to roll out an update to improve its latest wireless earbuds. Galaxy Buds Pro are the second Bluetooth earbuds from Samsung with Active Noise-Cancellation, also known as ANC, following the Buds Live launched last year. With the latest update, Samsung has focused on boosting the Active Noise-Cancellation – a feature that really impressed us, you can read our thoughts in our in-depth Galaxy Buds review.
The update clocks in at 2.2MB and should be available right now.
If you haven’t updated the software that powers your Galaxy Buds, the process is all handled via the Galaxy Wearable app. Launch the app, tap Earbuds software update, and then tap Download and Install. It’s worth noting that the Galaxy Buds Manager on PC isn’t able to download and install software updates for the Galaxy Buds Pro quite yet, instead, it can only handle Galaxy Buds, Buds+ and Buds Live.
The latest update for the Galaxy Buds Pro is called Version R190XXU0AUA5, so that’s the one you’re looking for. As well as boosting the noise-cancellation feature, it also purportedly improves the Ambient Sound feature as well as the speed to switch Voice Detect mode.
The latter automatically disables noise-cancellation when the ‘buds detect that you’re speaking – quickly asking for directions to someone on the street, or ordering a coffee – and doesn’t re-enable noise-cancellation until 10 seconds or so, just enough time to hear a reply.
This isn’t the first update that Samsung has pushed out to its all-new earbuds, the first improved the Bixby Voice Wakeup feature and tweaked the sound balance adjustment.
Galaxy Buds were handed out as a freebie to those who pre-ordered the priciest Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone last month. Priced at £219, these Bluetooth 5.0 ‘buds have a dual-driver setup, interchangeable rubber tips to create a seal in your ear, active noise-cancellation, and 360-degree audio. The carry case, which tops-up the battery life of the Buds Pro, can be recharged with USB-C or any Qi wireless charging pad.
