So I have been thinking of buying wireless earphones for my S22. Should I go with AirPods Pro or Galaxy Buds Pro? Please advice
 
Since you said S22 then GBP. If you're on an iphone then it has to be APP because there is no iphone app for GBP.

I've got GBP and like them. But people have complained fit was not good. These people have smaller ears and GBP isn't comfortable for them.

If you generally use the larger tips as opposed to smaller tips of any IEM then your ears are big enough and GBP should be ok.

I would say Galaxy buds just because you have a Samsung phone because with Airpods pro you won't be able use software enabled features and noise cancellation making it a normal tws.
 
Best to remain within the device manufacturer's ecosystem for accessories, else in some cases you forego the advanced features and integrations.

What about the charging of the Galaxy Buds Pro? Which wireless charger or power bank to use?

There are two ways. You can charge the case with your phone charger cable. The case will wirelessly charge the buds. There is no way to charge the buds otherwise.

The case can be wirelessly charged if you have a charging mat. Or it can also be charged through reverse charging by placing the buds case on the phone.

I don't care much for wireless charging so i charge the case like the phone from a power bank.
 
I have galaxy buds pro. I wouldn't recommend because of following:-
1) Noise cancellation is bad.
2) Issue with Zoom when using via laptop. The inbuilt mic stops working after few secs. Have to switch back and forth with laptop mic which is very irritating.
3) Not happy with the fitting too. Let's just say they fall out pretty easily for me. So can't use them in gym.

Check out foam tips. That will fix 1) & 3) if you don't have a good seal it will not work well at all. Wear a gym headband across your ears to keep them in place in the gym.

When I tried the stock medium tips it came with I thought there was a manufacturing defect with the device. Did not sound good at all.

Then I moved to the largest stock tip size and things improved.

Still not perfect though. Which was fixed with foam. You have memory foam options here from cheaper to more expensive.

The cheapest is to get plain foam (recovers its shape soon after squeezing unlike memory foam that can take 30s) ) tips and cut them to size so the case will close and charge them as expected.

Cheaper options lack an ear wax guard which you have to keep an eye on and clean periodically otherwise it will gum up the speaker grill well enough to make you think they're not working. This then requires removing the speaker grill to fix. Better not to have to do it.

If your ears are smaller. Then buds pro won't be a good fit. Otherwise, they're a great deal compared to what else is out there.

Fix 2) by using your phone for the Zoom call
