So the Galaxy Buds+ just got released, and the general consensus is, they're great. Especially if you got them for free, with your preorder of the S20. Nonetheless, Samsung will be releasing a new pair this year, with a completely new design. A kidney shaped design that is aimed at reducing the protrusion of most wireless buds. Mind you, the Buds+ barely protrude on any set of ears. Anyway, looks interesting, have a look.

Got 2 set of Buds free, 1 with S10+ and 1 with Fold

Cant get the white ones out of the wife's ears now she's a complete convert

If these have Noise Cancelling I'm in

Are the Buds + better than Airpods Pro? My first pair had issues and my second pair loose charge easily. I have considered the Galaxy Buds but I own an iPhone at the moment.

Sorry my free ones are not the + version they are more recent bundle with the S20's

But my understand is the Bud+ are much better value and many prefer the sound, but they do not have NC but thier better fit helps

I thought the Airpods Pro were glitched after an update or is that fixed now

I'm not sure if it's fixed, I know that the new ones I received (to replace my faulty ones) don't have the latest update because Apple pulled that update not long after they released it.
Fingers crossed my replacement AirPods Pro are working, I'm just not sure they are any better than the competitors at this point.

From everything I've read, the Galaxy Buds plus have better sound, better fit, and way better battery life. The Airpods Pro have ANC, better microphone, some higher codecs, and better range. The Airpods Pros are also $100 more than the Galaxy Buds.

If you already have the Airpods no reason to switch. If you already have the Buds, no reason to switch. If you have neither, get the Galaxy buds.
