Well maybe I can keep my order then coming out at around $130
Subtotal$145.34 plus RKT Cashback $14.53 = $130.81
Chatted with Samsung CS, politely asked for further discount due to seeing these on eBay for low $150. Was offered 10% off my order once shipped. So 130- another $15 = $115 might be more worth it than $200
By "chatted" do you mean through the online chat thing?

Got my Buds Pro and worked out with them this morning. So far like them a lot. Sound is much better than my urlhasbeenblocked Flame S.
Also received my 10% back for keeping them via my credit card. Sent my trade in via prepaid label. Wasn't sure if wired headsets included the small wired earphones so I sent both that and old pair of large headsets.
The + or original Galaxy Buds are probably where the value is at if you really need Samsung branded gear to use with a Galaxy or Note phone.
The brands I mentioned aren't knock-offs so much as more specialized companies. KZ has been around for a long time making IEMs, but they make a few models of TWS. Fiil and Edifier are newer brands, but definitely stand on their own merits. Look them up on Headfi or RTINGS - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
eh, Edifier is a much older company than KZ, they've been around since the 90's.
I wouldn't trade in my Galaxy Buds+ for these. They aren't as comfortable as the Buds+. One thing I found that helped the comfort is taking some silicone ear tips from some Powerbeats and putting them on the Buds Pro. The ones the Buds Pro come with suck.

I own them for about 2 weeks now. Gone back and forth about taking them back or not but when I put those silicone tips on them I'm leaning keep. They sound amazing but the change in design made the fit less effective. I still constantly readjust them and they almost feel like they could fall out. I'm 60% likely to keep them just not use them for exercise. The removal of the wing tip hurts them.
The Buds+ are unquestionably more comfortable. They rival the Airpods Pro for comfort.

I was thinking of the Pros for the sound cancelation, but from your description I might go for the Plus , especially given they are like $70 less
Seal fit can be improved by better tips like comply or spinfit. I get excellent seal with by Jabra elite 75t and spinfit 360. Based on reviews I have seen, buds pro is easily the best TWS from Samsung. ANC implementation is also very good(though might not hit APP level).
I have these and I tried to use comply tips they didn't fit. I emailed comply and they said they would have a set for the pros sometime late in 2021......really people. So just be prepared to wait for the comply ones. I can't get a good fit with the Samsung tips at all. They are always falling out no matter which size I use. I am currently using my soundcore tips on them so I can get a good fit and hopefully keep them from falling out. Just my two cents worth.

Comply tips didn't work with my Buds+. I don't understand the hype about these overpriced tips.

The Comply TrueGrip Pro for Samsung Galaxy Buds? They fit fine for me, wouldn't use the Buds without them. They really botched the short oval nozzle on the Pro.
