Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Truly Wireless are better than the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless for most purposes. The Samsung have a more comfortable, stable fit and a higher IPX7 rating for water resistance. They also have ANC and block out much more ambient sound. On the other hand, the Apple's open design allows you to hear your surroundings, and they offer a better overall battery performance.

The Samsung's virtual surround sound feature only works on Android, while the Apple's only works on iOS.
