After Galaxy Buds, Samsung takes another shot at rivalling Apple AirPods Pro

While the Galaxy Buds+ are great headphones, they drew a bit of criticism for their lack of noise-cancelling, the headline act of Apple’s new AirPods Pro.

If you’re someone who was disappointed when the Galaxy Buds+ were announced back in February, then you should probably take note of Samsung’s latest headphones. AKG, which is owned by Samsung, has stealthily released a new pair of truly wireless buds that have an uncanny resemblance to the Galaxy Buds but do indeed boast noise-cancelling.

Dubbed the AKG N400, the headphones also boast an IPX7 water resistance rating that means they can survive a dunk in water, so you won’t have to frantically worry if you accidentally drop them in a puddle when out and about. In contrast, the new Galaxy Buds+ only have an IPX3 rating that protects them against rain and splashes.
