. Unfortunately I lost my Apollo Bold headphones a few months after receiving them and recently "upgraded" to Galaxy Buds Pro. In this review I will compare the two. What I like best about Apollo Bolds: The touch controls are more consistent. On the Galaxy Buds, trying to perform a triple-tap gesture resulted in some poor reads, but I'm getting used to the specific area on them that needs to be tapped in order for it to feel your finger. At Apollo Bolds, somewhere on the outer black surface, a sensor seems to be constantly triggered. I can probably get used to where touches register on the Galaxy Buds, but the Apollo Bolds didn't take any getting used to. Better touch controls. The Apollo Bold has more touch gestures (5 total?) and each of them can be assigned via the app. There are only 4 gestures on the Galaxy Buds, one of which (press and hold for 3 seconds) can be reassigned; the rest is fixed, which is disappointing. It may not matter to most, but they also look a lot cooler. What I like best about the Galaxy Buds Pro: The housing is better, the battery indicators give more accurate information about the battery life. , which is important as they don't have the impressive battery life of the Apollo Bolds. Galaxy headphones are more comfortable, although this is subjective. After about an hour, the Apollo Bold headphones started bothering my ears, while the Galaxy headphones only became uncomfortable after a few hours. The Galaxy Buds also seem to fit better in the ears, although this has never been a major issue with the Apollo Bolds. The app for the Galaxy Buds is better, and aside from touch gesture remapping, you have more options to work with such as: B. Multiple layers for ambient mode and ANC. For some reason you have to re-pair the Apollo Bold every time you want to do something with them in the app, which the Galaxy Buds don't. ============================================ Sound: If If you I have reading other reviews about it, you probably saw that the sound is very bassy. The sound is very pleasant with both headphones, although I'm not a music lover. Here's my opinion: The bass of the Apollo Bold is very pleasant. It stands out, although it doesn't remotely overwhelm the rest of the instruments. The application supports multiple equalizer settings, but most of the time I left it on the default setting. There are times with the Galaxy headphones where I feel like I need a little more bass, which is purely personal preference, but sometimes the Bass Boost EQ preset results in a loss of clarity in other areas, even though I can use it would like to compare side by side. ANC/Ambient Modes: I didn't have a proper chance to test ANC on the Galaxy Buds, but the ANC on the Apollo Bolds proved surprisingly good for the price. It's nice to have an ambient noise mode, but don't expect to be able to hold a conversation while listening to music at a very low volume. All in all, it's hard to say which I prefer, but my experience with the Apollo Bolds leaves a lot to be desired with the Galaxy Buds.
