Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 4.2/5 (#309 and #266 of 1291 in-ear headphones) at nearly the same price ($199 vs $199.99), so choose on features and fit.
The case for the Acoustune HS1300SS: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 76 against the Harman target. Watch for: An uneven response, 2.0 dB standard deviation from target.
Why pick the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro: Noise cancelling true wireless earbuds with a smooth, balanced sound, a 76 preference score and IPX7 water resistance. Watch for: A 10.5 dB peak near 11.9 kHz and air about 7 dB above target add sizzle that can make cymbals sound splashy.
Buy the Acoustune HS1300SS or the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
