Samsung is one of the few manufacturers to consistently bring features from newer designs to older hardware through software upgrades. These are usually phones (like the older Galaxy Z Flip series this morning, for example), but Samsung is dealing with its galaxy of accessories as well. Today, Galaxy Buds Pro benefit from some of the new features developed for non-professional Galaxy Buds2.

XDA-Developers note that the new firmware includes the ability to customize the Ambient Sound setting, the ability to listen to Ambient Sound mode even during phone calls, and new controls for noise levels (split into standard and one-button mode). ). All of these are handled in the Samsung Wear app, which should automatically install the Galaxy Buds Pro plugin when you pair your headphones.

Upgrading the Buds Pro to the new firmware can take a few minutes – pure data transfers over Bluetooth are quite complicated. But once you do, you’ll be able to enjoy some of the best features of the Buds2 without spending an extra dime. Very neat.
