Galaxy Buds2 Pro
across 5 reviews
3.4/5
Reviewers praise
  • Well-balanced sound signature with good instrument separation, warm bass, and detailed highs that work especially well with Samsung devices using the proprietary SSC codec
  • Smaller, lighter design with soft matte finish provides secure fit for more ear shapes than the original Buds Pro
  • Good active noise cancellation that handles street and subway noise effectively, though not best-in-class
Reviewers push back
  • Five-hour battery life with ANC on falls short of competitors offering six to eight hours
  • No multi-point Bluetooth pairing outside the Samsung ecosystem frustrates users with multiple device types
  • Limited EQ customization offers only preset options instead of full adjustable equalizer
Reviewers agree Samsung delivered well-tuned sound and improved fit over prior models, but frustrating software limitations and average battery life hold the buds back from best-in-class status.
— best for: Samsung Galaxy device owners who value sound quality and seamless device switching within one ecosystem will appreciate the tuning and integration.

I have owned many different earbuds, previous to these I had Sony XM4s, but the rubber buds split so I decided to take them back and get these and pay the extra. I was of course hesitant due to the price but I was very glad I did because the Beoplay EXs are by far the best sounding earbuds on the market and it isn't close. Like other B&O wireless product's I own, battery life is the only issue, bu Richard · johnlewis.com

Best Feature:I love the "360 audio" of this Buds 2 pro. It has a nice ambient sound compared to other earphones or earbuds that I use. For me, the purchase was worth it. Performance:Sounds are very clear. Listening to music has never been better 100% Product Quality:For me, it is comfortable to wear compared to buds with stem designs. The Samsung logo is shiny and is engraved to the case. Fake sam shopee.ph
