Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro, with Innovative AI Features, Bluetooth Truly Wireless in Ear Earbuds with Noise Cancellation (Graphite)

Best suitable with Samsung phones. I got these earbuds at a great price, and at that price, they are decent and justify the quality. Bluetooth connectivity is not as fast as other low-priced earbuds. All other features, however, are good, including ANC, sound quality, size and design, calling, and battery backup.

It's been 4 days now and I thought of giving a nice feedback. The music experience has been so amazing and wonderful. This is the first time I'm using TWS with ANC enabled. I bought this on Great India Festival sale in 2023 for 7300 rs and it was a steal deal.ANC: It totally restricts external noise but the sharp voice when someone suddenly starts speaking to you can't be restricted and that surpasses the restriction. As this was the first time I was using ANC, I was pretty much amazed how wonderful this tech is. It totally gives the right feel when listening to music and I don't think that I'll ever want non-ANC featured earphones/headphones anymore. After using these buds for 1 month, I can argue that sometimes the ANC feature doesn't work as good as the other times.Touch control: these buds have so many features but I struggle hard when I've enabled double tap for both changing the music and controlling volume. Controlling volume is difficult to perform sometimes. You get an app for controlling them with a widget on your homescreen to turn off ANC and touch control and that widget is extremely helpful and needed app. Pixel buds have swipe gesture to control volume, maybe that feature will increase battery consumption more but it's more convenient than tapping. My worst experience was with volume control on these earbuds and I had to turn that feature off because this doesn't work satisfactorily.Battery: With ANC enabled, I get around 4 hours of backup on buds and my case battery lasts for 2+ days. It doesn't take much time to charge. With ANC disabled I can use buds for 5+ hours.Connectivity: I can use these buds on laptop and all my phones but not at the same time. if these are connected to one device, you'll have to disconnect to pair with other device. But it's not a big issue. You won't struggle with connectivity. Most of my devices are very old and they connect seamlessly.24 bit and 360 degree audio: Not available for all devices, only work on samsung phones with latest ONEUI. These additional feautres are why these are costly. I don't find these features useful at all — feel more like gimmicks to me. 360° audio is terrific, I haven't tested much but I guess you won't find this feature on any other TWS. If you don't require these features, you can go for buds2 if you don't have a budget.Sound quality and bass: Sound and bass both are clear and balanced. You can hear details of every instrument clearly. The quality of sound is amazing and I have personally never had this experience with other earphones before.Size, fitting and appearance: I don't know why some people criticize it for being too bulky, It's not really a big deal and easily fits in the pocket. Buds are great but you can't wear them for long time, they hurt ears if you keep wearing them for 3+ hours.I can rate each feature individually now:ANC: 8/10Sound Quality: 9/10Touch control: 7/10Fit and finish: 8/10Connectivity with different devices: 10/10Battery: 9/10Update after 6 months of use: The product's build quality is good, but Samsung is gradually reducing the sound quality with each update. The Buds2 Pro doesn't have its original audio signature anymore, for which these buds were once famous. The latest update has significantly impacted sound quality and increased treble which is hurting my ears. While there's a way to downgrade to older firmware but it's pointless that Samsung is doing this and it's not worth it considering the price you have to pay for these buds. I hope that Samsung rolls out new update with better audio signature and if it doesn't, then I'd suggest you go for other earbuds.

This is an in-depth review of the samsung galaxy buds 2 pro. At the time of this review they are on sale for 6.4k with bank offers. The real question is are they still worth it for this price (the best low price I've seen them at)?Well the short answer is yes if you are getting it at the deal price and may not be worth to everyone if the price is above 10k. It has it own strengths and weaknesses. Do read this lengthy review which I hope will help people decide properly and not just jump at it looking at the deal price thinking they will get the best flagship tws from samsung.First things first, the moment you connect the buds 2 pro to your android phone, if that phone is a mid range phone like the samsung m series or an A series then don't expect a magically transformed music experience. You will need to set the eq mode from the galaxy wearable app to dynamic to get the best from the tws( this was my personal preference and others may want to play with eq) but without eq adjustment they might not sound awesome on mid range phones.Connect them to a decent high end phone like Samsung Galaxy S series(you get complete 24 bit audio) or One plus 12 etc which support high and best resolution audio codecs, you will feel the true worth of these earphones.If you are a hard core bass lover where you want an extreme thump for all the types of music you hear then you may feel a little disappointed. The bass is definitely there but there are other headphones/tws for the extreme bass lovers. I personally tested this against One plus buds z2, One plus buds pro 2 and one plus buds 3 (the usual popular choices) and I felt for a basshead, one plus tws are much more suited but they lack in voice and instrument clarity a little.I could not test with realme air pro 6 and oppo enco x2 but I can tell from previous experience that the buds 2 pro fare better than them both and not just because this was last generation's flagship tws from samsung.The voice clarity and instruments sound a lot more realistic and full on the buds 2 pro. Very very close to apple air pods pro 2(apple still has a better edge).The design is extremely comfortable to me. This I feel is again subjective as some might feel them to be painful. I could simply sleep wearing them without any pain. Extremely snug fitActive noise cancellation is very decent, close to Sony's and apple flagship tws. For folks trying this for the first time or expecting to try noise cancellation on a flagship tws, don't expect complete zero noise from environment, it cuts most of it.Dolby atmos, 360 audio and head tracking. Dolby Atmos does make a significant difference. 360 audio with and without head tracking sounds amazing when watching videos. Netflix content will sound superb. For music just the eq at dynamic was more than sufficient. Using 360 for music was not very overwhelming, I felt it was just meh. But how to get the best of it, if you are using a mid range phone ditch Spotify and get apple music with lossless audio to get the best out this pair of tws for music. Amazon music and Airtel music were just meh. The tws shine the most on apple music as it supports proper Dolby Atmos codecs with lossless audio. For mid range phones that don't support high res audio this is a game changer. On high end phones the music quality is just awesome.Battery life, it took half hour for full charge and lasted close to 4hours 55 min with ANC on. I'm expetic close to 7 and half or 8 without ANC but then they sound best with ANC on. Overall moderate not amazing but not bad either.AI features, you need compatible samsung phones to get them to work(live language translation and transcribing).Overall they are a solid set of tws and definitely live upto the name of flagship tws. A perfect balance of sound clarity and bass. Mediocre battery, could have been better if they supported multi-point connectivity.
