Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“Whats the battery life compared to buds3 pro? I always find them so underwhelming - but might be a personal pref. I tend to have long sessions coding/creating stuff. (4h+)”— OutrageousIce6544 on Reddit
“Too bad I like all the integration within the Galaxy ecosystem that I kinda have to stay with the Galaxy Buds. Good to know Pixel Buds Pro have good transparency too tho.”— crazylegs6528 on Reddit
“Case battery will start draining fast once samsung releases the buds5 they provide faulty updates so that the current version of buds can downgrade and people spend money in purchasing new one”— whoami_cli on Reddit
“Yo everyone saying the buds3pro of buds4pro mics are bad, I genuinely want to know what your basing that on because there are very few wireless earbuds with better sounding mics for phone calls”— Particular-Ad-2227 on Reddit
“I ordered this and it's coming tomorrow. I loved the buds 3 pro, easily one of the best earbuds I've used. So excited to see all the improvements you've mentioned.”— LongSteamyDump on Reddit
“I only use one bud at a time, though, for safety reasons. It won't let me use ANC with just one, so I can only use ambient sound. AirPods let me use ANC with one bud, so that might be the difference.”— Chrisac84 on Reddit
“If the sound in the new headphones is so good, why do many write that with the latest firmware, the sound and noise cancellation are worse on previous models?”— HarryHolly on Reddit
“But is the mic quality and pickup actually better? Every year i hope it to be better yet it keeps being the same as I have the b3p and people on the other end struggle to hear me clearly.”— Johnny080203 on Reddit
