SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds w/ Noise Cancelling, Hi-Fi Sound, 360 Audio, Comfort Ear Fit, HD Voice, Conversation Mode, IPX7 Water Resistant, Graphite (Renewed)

I had a Buds Pro I got a few years ago, and then I guess they fell out of my pocket while I was out because they're gone. So I got these.Fit feels a little better than the Pros did, but I'm probably imagining that. Connects to the wear app easily and well, allowing control such as changing from surround sound to ambient sounds. Love that you can turn off touch controls. My ears are garbage at holding buds in so I constantly have to push them back in. (It's not an incorrectly sized ear-tip. Large is way too big, medium doesn't get a perfect grip. Broken ears.)I will admit I haven't tried the call option, as I seldom get calls, and haven't at all while wearing them. I do know the original Pros worked great though. Just tested it calling someone. Both of us noticed no sound issues. They didn't know I wasn't using my phone and they sounded normal to me.I am kinda sad color-wise. The original Pros had a like, glittery-ness to them, the the buds themselves were mirror-like. These are just a plain pastel purple, which I still like but don't think is as pretty. However, I think part of that is the material on the outside of the box is more tacky. The originals were smooth, and I imagine the change was to keep them from easily falling out of your pocket. The biggest issue is, if you have the white or purple, they smudge visibly easier.I had hoped that the find your earbuds option was for if you misplaced the whole thing, but it's simply for if you drop a bud and cant find it, which is disappointing.I can't give a good estimate on battery life. I just spent the past twenty minutes in a call and the buds went down 5% I don't use them a lot because I'm disabled so I don't go out much, and I've never looked at the battery% once I was done. I will say my box is still at 21% after using them for probably around 15-18 hours, so that's not bad at least.

I recently purchased the new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and I must say, they are a significant disappointment compared to the Galaxy Buds 2. In terms of sound quality, the Buds 2 simply cannot be matched; their audio clarity and bass response are superior and create a much more enjoyable listening experience. While the Buds 3 do fit more snugly in the ear, which provides a better seal for sound isolation, that’s the only area where they outperform the Buds 2.If you're currently considering whether to invest in the Buds 2 or the Buds 3, I highly recommend going with the Buds 2. You’ll likely find them to be more fulfilling and satisfactory, and I have no doubt you won’t be disappointed with your choice. Moreover, I've noticed that the widget on my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, to which I have paired the Buds, offers a much richer experience. It provides improved information accessibility, better usability, and a more attractive interface, along with greater versatility in functionality.Regrettably, I missed the return window for the Buds 3 Pro, or I would have certainly chosen to return them. Overall, my experience reinforces that the Buds 2 are the better product in this lineup.

I decided it was time to buy myself some wireless buds and a friend recommended Galaxy Buds. So I did some research and found the 2 Pro seemed like my best option, but they were pretty expensive, then I discovered Amazon refurbished! I bought mine refurbished like new. When I got them, the case and tiny gaps in the buds did still have traces of earwax so I cleaned them up with rubbing alcohol, no big deal. They looked great regardless. I also had to reset them so they weren't still connected to the previous owner. Minor oversight for the price I got these beauties for. I mainly use these at work so I can't have more than one in at a time which is important since the ambient and noise canceling features don't work unless you're using both. First, the way the buds fit in my ear block sound out really well without the noise canceling feature. Sometimes I have to readjust the position so they don't hurt my ear but once they're in place, they're snug. It is a little hard to get them back out since they conform so well to the shape of my ear, so I've dropped it a few times. They bounce but are resilient so no damage so far. Also, I have them programmed so the volume is controlled by long presses so I accidently long press the touch pad when removing them and often put them back in to either loud or silent music depending on the ear I'm using. The tap feature is responsive but you need to be precise, however, one tap instead of the intended two simply pauses the tunes. No big deal there. This is my first pair of bluetooth buds so I'm not sure if it's normal, but these can tell when they're in your ear and will stop the music when you take them out.The battery life even without the noise cancelling feature isn't enough to last the whole day without being put back in the case, but a quick 10 minutes in the case charges them up quite a bit and the power in the case allows me to go days without plugging it in. Not to mention, using just one means I can switch it out if it goes battery low.Overall, I love these buds. Buying refurbished saved me so much money on a quality product that I will be using until I break them or they die. Worth it!

I really liked them
