Watch this unboxing of Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro before it launches

Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro are revealed in full before January 14 launch.

What you need to know

Samsung is said to be launching the Galaxy Buds Pro alongside the S21 next week.
Someone managed to grab a pair before launch and has posted a hands-on video, sharing eveything about the device.
The Buds Pro are the successor to 2020's Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Live.

Samsung is unveiling a new slate of devices next week, including the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy Buds Pro, and possibly a Galaxy Smart Tag tracker. A YouTuber has pre-empted the launch of the upcoming device, unpacking the earbuds in a video showcasing everything before the Unpacked event.

YouTuber Digital Slang purchased the device via a Facebook seller, spending over 24-hours with it and sharing his first impressions.

From the video,Digital Slang found the sound, the ANC, and the battery life of the earbuds impressive. He also enjoyed the touch controls, noting that they were sensitive and easy to use. He also praised the customizability of the aural experience one could find with the Samsung Wearable app.

He noted the new transparency mode that allowed you to hear the outside world while still listening to music, though he found it wasn't as good as the AirPods Pro. Of course, it's just a hands-on from someone who had over 14 hours with it, so it's worth being watched with that fact in mind.

That said, Samsung has made really good sounding earbuds before. We've reviewed the Buds Plus and Buds Live favorably, so we can expect the Buds Pro to be at least as good as those.

As noted already, Samsung is set to launch the Buds Pro alongside the S21 at a virtual Unpacked event next week, so we don't have too long to wait.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
