There are plenty of great features to tailor to your needs and using the Buds 2 Pro is as slick as they come with the latest Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Buds 2 sounds great with a curve that follows our ideal closely with some under-emphasis above 8kHz. The listening experience continues to be above par with the newly released sequel, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, with new digital signal processing and an even more comfortable fit. You get a total of 18 hours with the case (ANC on), and with ANC off the Buds 2 Pro earbuds’ single-charge goes up to eight hours.Colors that set the tone - Both the earbuds and cradle are available in a range of premium colors, Graphite, White and Bora Purple. Auto Switch on Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro intelligently detects mobile activity and seamlessly shifts its connection to your Samsung Galaxy phone, tablet and watch. It surpasses rival ANC earbuds’ ratings (usually IPX4) and is ideal for all weather conditions and the most intense workouts. Only above 10kHz, and at a narrow band around 7kHz, does the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro outdo the latest buds.

Samsung assures us that as long as the audio source is 24-bit, the SSC HiFi codec will guarantee it’s delivering the full bit depth. This Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro review was updated on January 2, 2024, to ensure the timeliness of the information within. They boast end-to-end 24-bit high-resolution playback (with caveats), immersive 360 audio with dynamic head tracking, better active noise cancellation (ANC), a sleeker design, and plenty more features that are designed to make life easier when using them every day. Fit is pretty much in the ear of the beholder, and the Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds fit me better, but both are very comfortable.By proceeding to purchase and take advantage of this promotion, you accept the following: The trade-up discount you receive is an incentive to recycle and to purchase a new Samsung appliance, laptop, monitor or television; it is not a trade-in value for the product you are recycling. The upgraded Samsung Seamless Codec encodes the full 24-bit audio and is decoded via Galaxy Buds2 Pro, maintaining that same 24-bit high-quality sound. In any case, I was comfortable taking the IPX7-rated buds everywhere; I've been training for the Hood to Coast relay race in Oregon, and these have seen at least a few dozen miles over the past few weeks with no wear to show for it. By default, the touch-and-hold command is set to “volume up” on the right and “volume down” on the left. Unfortunately, the material scratches easily, and you can’t buff it out the way you might with some plastics.

That's the question we asked at the start of our original Galaxy Buds Pro review, and the question remains pertinent – even more so.

With that said, if you know that you have a nickel or acrylate allergy or are more prone to ear infections than most folks, skip this one out of an abundance of caution. When compared to the most recent Google Pixel Buds Pro, which can pair to multiple devices made by different manufacturers at once, Samsung's new multipoint Bluetooth offering feels a bit less pro. However, the touch panels on the Galaxy Buds 2 are hypersensitive compared to the updated Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, making the newer version more seamless to use. While the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) does a better job of adhering to our target, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has better active noise canceling. Most immediately, the Galaxy Buds 2 is for Samsung Galaxy device owners who will enjoy exclusive features like the Samsung Seamless Codec and auto switching between Samsung devices.
