SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds w/ Noise Cancelling, Hi-Fi Sound, 360 Audio, Comfort Ear Fit, HD

Best Samsungs Yet, but not PerfectI upgraded to these after owning the Galaxy Buds Live, which is a very different design. I’m not an audiophile, but I am fairly experienced with mid-tier sound equipment, speakers, and headphones. I built my own 11.1 surround sound movie room using a higher end Yamaha receiver and have used Klipsch, Polk Audio, Paradigm, BIC America, Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, Bose (don’t judge me, they work well in some applications), JL Audio, JBL, Mirage, and other brands of speakers through the years in home and car audio setups. For headphones, I’ve mainly used wired as early wireless models sounded hollow and tinny in comparison. I’ve used lower end AKG and Sony buds, as well as mid-tier Sennheisers. I’ve also used higher end Sony over-ear headphones as well as the highly rated (but lesser known) Status Audio CB-1 studio monitor headphones.I waited a while to buy into the wireless headphone market and finally took the plunge with the Buds Live as they offered something my wired headphones didn’t—ambient sound. Usually this is an unwanted distraction and noise isolation is preferred, but sometimes I want to be aware of what’s going on around me and be able to engage in a conversation even if I have my buds in. Apple did this well with their pass-through technology, but I’m not about to switch over to an entirely new product line and closed ecosystem just for headphones, so I waited. The Buds Live managed this trick with a low-tech solution by not sealing in the ear canal, so I gave them a try. Sound quality was decent—on par with my lower end AKG wired buds, but not as good as my mid-tier (~$100) Sennheiser buds. They also were finnicky with their connection and cut out a lot if my phone was in my pocket, especially if I bent over or squatted.BUDS 2 PRO:I upgraded to these as they also had a pass-through feature which seemed to work fairly well and did so automatically when you started talking. I figured this would be just as good and offer better sound and isolation when desired. Overall I think this feature works pretty good and is a nice compromise for me. In terms of sound quality, the Buds 2 Pro are definitely a step up from the Buds Live and probably on par with my wired mid-tier Sennheisers. I can’t complain about the sound quality at all.As with the Buds Live though, the Buds 2 Pro require a bit of fidgeting to get them seated in the ear properly. Traditional ear buds, and even Apple’s Airpods require little thought or adjustment beyond getting the right sized rubber or foam tips for a good seal. Samsung seems to go for more experimental designs which require learning and getting used to. After a few days use, they still aren’t “natural” to put in or locked into muscle memory—I have to fuss with them a bit to get a good seal. Once in though, I haven’t had any problems.Overall, I recommend these buds. They still aren’t perfect as the fit isn’t intuitive, battery life a little meager, and the noise cancellation is about 85-90%, not 100, but overall, solid headphones. Could you get way better sounding wired headphones for tons less money? Yes, for about $50 you can pick up a pair of Status CB-1’s and hear every fine detail in high fidelity. But in the wireless in-ear category, prioritizing convenience and mobility over everything else, these perform admirably. I’ve heard Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 3 buds *might* edge these out in terms of sound quality, but they look a lot more bulky (stick out more from the ear and therefore may be less stable) and don’t have the automatic ambient sound pass-through feature. They also are a touch more money. On the upside though, they appear to be a more traditional bud design, so might be more straightforward to put in, but Airpods are probably still the easiest to put in and take out.But I plan on using the Buds 2 Pro for years before feeling the need to upgrade again. I’m satisfied with the purchase, though still wincing at the cost-to-performance ratio compared to wired options. Can’t knock a product for performing in the top tier of its specific market though, so I’ll give it 5 stars as a true wireless earbud, but would give it 4 in sound quality against cheaper wired in-ear and over-ear options.

I would say goodIt has been a month now of using these earbuds the noise cancelation I would say it’s good just not all noises are canceled out like a small plane but in a big plane with a baby crying maybe that would be canceled out. Ok the sound I would say it’s good even though am deaf on right side but luckily volume balancing is a feature on these earbuds if you have samsung phone or tab. And the battery life like daaaaang it lasts for hours maybe like 4-6 hours depends on how much you using it and after the batteries almost dead you put them in the case and oh boy the earbuds are in a fast charging case like in 5 mins it was 45% charged already I was like “wow” ngl oh and BTW I got these earbuds when they were on a discount like 154.99$ so I went for that discount, alr that’s it

Great budsThe Samsung Galaxy buds 2 pro are a great wireless headphone set for galaxy phone users. I tested everything except mic quality and phone calls. I found that the comfort for these is there they are slightly smaller than the buds pro. In terms of noise cancelation they are great I wasn’t able to hear the fan that was blowing next to me. then I turned it of and could hear some fan noise then switched to ambient sound and could really hear the fan so that sums noise cancelation it works well. In terms of sound quality it can be a mixed bag depending on how new a video is for example I watched a dido live concert performance and it felt like I was there at the concert her voice came thru clearly. I tried some news videos and it didn’t sound as wide like the video seemed normal to average sound not like top tier stuff like you could get if you tried wired headsets or headphones. Movies sound great on these watched one scene in the hobbit smaugs voice came across well through the buds. One thing I will say is voices come in real clear on these so these will be great for those movies or music you listen to. I tested asmr videos they work great for that. Overall I’d give them an 8.5 out of 10 I think these are great so far its just a mixed bag when it comes to what content you listen to or watch some stuff sounds phenomenal and other stuff sounds average. I recommend playing with equalizer settings I preferred dynamic.

Excelente 👌No soy comprador recurrente así que hacer esto de calificar me da pereza, pero estos audífonos se merecen mi tiempo, quiero dejar claro que trabajo en construcción con mucho ruido constante, así que están probados en áreas complicadas.En conclusión, buen material, buen sonido, comodos, su batería es muy duradera, un detalle incómodo es el sensor táctil en ocasiones se activa solo por el sudor de una prenda que uso en la cabeza en mi trabajo, pero solo desactivo los sensores que no necesito en su momento y es 5 estrellas.

Best buds I’ve ever hadThese actually cancel out noise and dwork vetdry well. I use them at work dor business calls, driving home, walking and I have no outside noise and people don’t have an issue hearing me.
