I like them when at the GYM
I like these earbuds. I use them most when at the GYM. I like the feature that when you speak, the music volume will decrease, and the ambient sound will enable you to hear what people tell you.

Decent Noise Cancelling Buds
I bought the product because I did not want large noise cancelling headphones. After using them I would say they they are decent noise cancelling and sound quality. Unfortunately that it disrupted by that fact that these earbuds do not fit as well as previous model of Samsung earbuds. I also used them for travel on a plane and after a few hours they began to hurt my ears even when doing the fit check and switching out the end for smaller/larger earpieces (the old Samsung buds I can wear for hours on end without and ear hurting issues). Overall they are pretty good as a noise cancelling earbud however since switching to my larger over the ear headphone I can’t imagine going back.

Love these
Bought these for my husband bc he works construction outside and this would be a lot easier to talk with him while he is working. He said these are comfortable, sound amazing & love how they work. It will lower the volume if it hears back ground noise, you customize it from your phone & I think it is great that you can use them with Apple phones as well. Great buy !

Blown away by the sound quality !!
Just got these today, along with the Sony Linkbuds S. My very first bluetooth earbuds. I’ve mostly used Bose Quiet comfort headphones for the past decade, which I’ve been thrilled with, they’ve revolutionized my life. But as I frequently need to take reading glasses on and off, headphones can be inconvenient, and so I wanted an earbuds option.I haven’t tested all the features yet, but I’m absolutely gobsmacked by the sound quality of these — so rich and full. More than enough bass– in fact I needed to cut it back a bit in the EQ settings (I use the ‘clear’ mode). Very close to headphone quality, how do they do it??So comfortable to wear too, I can imagine having them in all day. My only complaint is that the “Wearable app” you need to get all the features demands a LOT of permissions on your android device, way more than seems necessary and that bothers me. I’ll put up with it for now.I initially had some trouble pairing it to multiple devices, but after some fiddling I can switch pretty seamlessly between my galaxy phone, tablet, and Dell computer. Not sure I could write a ‘how to’ on it, as I seem to have stumbled on ‘success’ by accident, and the ‘youtube’ videos on this subject were NOT helpful.Comparing to the Linkbuds S: the sound quality on these is substantially better than the Linkbuds. The linkbuds go more deeply into the ear and feel more ‘snug’, so I might use those outdoors vs these indoors. I like the fact that via the wearable app, I can set these earbuds to control volume via ‘tap and hold’. The Linkbuds don’t seem to have this feature, you need to adjust the physical controls on your device to control volume. That’s a little ding for the Linkbuds and a huge plus for these, as I like convenient volume adjustment of music above all else.I don’t make/receive many phone calls, I mostly listen to music. So can’t comment on those features. But if you mostly listen to music as I do, it’s hard for me to imagine complaints. Noise cancellation is not as good compared to Bose quiet comfort — but these are earbuds afterall, and so my expectations for noise cancellation are low, and as I mostly stay home have not had a chance to really test it. But it does do SOMETHING. I think if I were in a high noise environment I’d be inclined to use the headphones.But based on sound quality and comfort alone, I highly recommend! If I were to keep only ONE of the earbud options I’d go with this one.

Improvement over the galaxy buds
My wife bought these for a birthday gift and they have been very enjoyable. I had the galaxy buds pro and they were good but these are much more comfortable. The sound is improved over the previous model. For the price they do feel as if the finish isn’t there compared to the buds pro.

Well worth the money.
These ear buds are fantastic, the battery life is great, I have gone a month with out charging, using them 4 day a week for about 3 hours per day, sound quality is amazing, noise canceling works great, the bud notifies you when you get a text message or email. Well worth the money.

I dropped a star because it’s very awkward to set in ears (for me).
That said, it’s nice that they aren’t very noticeable when worn. They connect seamlessly, noise cancelling works fine, and I’m very happy with the sound considering the price.

Love the color
Ordered these for my aunt who has a Samsung phone. Buds match perfectly with her phone. She loves the buds. I’ve been an Apple user for years but the color options along are tempting me to convert.

I like them,will you?
They work well, pair easy, and sound nice. How do they compare with other buds…Better than Skullcandy and Echo buds for controls but some Skullcandy buds have better sound. All in all I think time will tell as I have only had these for a bout a month now. So..I like them but I couldn’t say if you will.

I give it a 4.8
I bought a pre-owned one and after owning and using it for some time now. I love it, the sound and bass are great. The distance it can maintain from my phone while maintaining the sound is great (if you want exact distance, idk I don’t actually measure it)The ANC is a solid 7.8/10. I can still hear some things through it, but idk if I’ll be alive to see the day when there’s 100% noise canceling lolThe main reason I give 4.8 is bc im a guy who likes to sleep to ASMR and these hurt to sleep in. I’m a side sleeper, I love pushing my face into my pillow and with the shape of these, they really press against of my ears when laying on my side and it’s just uncomfortable. OTHER THAN THAT, I’d give a 5 when I’m using them while awake

I surprised hubby with these to replace his old ear buds. He really likes them. They are an adjustment for him because they are different from his old samsung ear buds. But he days it’s in a good way. They are better quality and more comfortable as well.

Total garbage!
These are quite possibly the most expensive, worst earbuds I’ve ever purchased in my life.I own the original Galaxy buds, which are fantastic. They stay in my ears, they seal well and have great sound because of the fit and drivers. The originals pair easily with my Motorola phone and the app works fine. Regular updates kept them working and up-to-date. I even accidentally left the case with the earbuds inside of them outside on a summer night when it rained, the next day I thought I was sunk. I took them in, dried them off and they’ve been working fine 2 years later… The original Galaxy buds are that good.For me the originals were missing one or two things that I thought would make it worth the upgrade. Active noise cancellation was huge for me and the originals do not have this. I like to use my earbuds outside in the summer doing yard work like cutting the lawn weed whipping and things like that… I sweat profusely and need something that’s resistant to water and sweat. They also have to stay in my ears as I’m actively moving around on a lawn, where if one were to fall out good luck to me finding it… I was also interested in the sound pass thru feature that lets you hear ambient sound, if you wish while wearing the buds, the originals have this but it is not in stereo, so it does not help you if you were walking on the street or riding a bike. You would hear a car coming but could not distinguish the direction. These 2 Pros have stereo pass thru.Anyway, on Amazon Prime, garage sale day I decided to go ahead and pick these up for almost $200 (I know what was I thinking?)… I was excited for the upgrades. The headphones came and I immediately noticed something that I had not researched before, these headphones are not actually made by Samsung engineering, they are made by AKG. AKG happenes to make headphones for studio applications and they usually have a very flat, tinny or shrill response that I’ve never liked. This was a bad sign…I paired the earbuds to the phone using the same app as the originals and all went well. After an update I was ready to give them a shot. The earbuds would not stay in my ears. Try as I might they slipped and slid and they kept falling out of my ears. This is frustrating because it’s purely down to the design of the shallow ear canal, speaker. I have no idea why they would have gone with a different shape as the earbuds now only barely sit in the ear canal. The speakers do not seal no matter which ear tips I tried as the earbuds came with three different silicone sizes. The design of these headphones is baffling. A quick Google search will point out that this is a very common problem that I was not aware of before I purchased them, and people will recommending purchasing aftermarket tips to solve this problem. After spending this much on a pair of earbuds, no way am I going to start looking for fixed to their major design flaws, spending more money and time in the process. The Samsung Wear app even has a setting that helps you test, to see you when you have a good seal on the earbuds which I could not attain unless I violently jammed them in my ears, to which they only stayed sealed for maybe 30 seconds before they started coming out and just plopped out of my ears every single time. Wrestling the earbuds into your ears is an exercise and frustration as every time you touch the stupid things you activate some setting or pause a song or switch to the next song or mute them or try to make a call… It’s infuriating!After 20 minutes of a balancing act and attempting to get the earphones to stay in my ears, with a good seal, I finally was able to get them to stay for just a few seconds while I not moving at all. This was not going to work outside, but I wanted to test some of the other features. This led me to testing the active noise canceling which although the app told me I had a good seal did absolutely nothing but to block out only the slightest breeze of the AC in the house. It failed to even block out the fault hum of the washing machine, running in my laundry room. What?! When using something like a lawn mower or a leaf blower these will do 100% absolutely nothing. I am positive the attempt to block out the sound of airplane engines would also be futile with this extremely wimpy “noise canceling”… This is a major disappointment and as far as I’m concerned false advertising.I decided to give the sound a shot just to hear how they reproduce music that I’ve listened to for years with no issues on my original Galaxy buds which I think sound great. Just as I feared, typical AKG, no matter which setting I chose the highs are so hyped they tickled my eardrums in the most unpleasant of ways, irritating me to the point where I had to literally turn the music down to the lowest volume to be able to bear the shrill, high-pitched highs. I tried every EQ setting they offer and not one of them took away this ridiculous high-pass. Complete and utter, $200 fail!I honestly can’t express how disappointed I am in these things and would urge anyone to simply stay away. These are a huge disappointment and have soured me from Samsung audio products. How could they get it so right the first time around and totally doo-doo the bed, with these?!TLDRTerrible sound quality, horrible fit, ridiculously ineffective active noise canceling, huge unwarranted price tag.Total garbage.

The only drawback I found out was that I am unable to sing along with my earbuds in. The music will stop if I try it.I do like how much background noise is cancelled out.

Work great but could use longer battery
So I really like these earbuds! My only complaint is battery life is short. If using for extended periods of time I have to use one at a time. Both will usually last 4 hrs together before shutting off. 🥺

Sound quality is so much better than the buds pro
Over the last 5 years I have had two sets of Samsung Galaxy buds pro. I use them four to five hours a day everyday and they take a beating. My second set just started to go out on me so I ordered the buds two pro. The sound quality and fit is so much better than the Samsung Galaxy buds pro. The upgrade is well worth the price!

Works good on calls, at least for me
I bought these only because I needed something that let me talk while working, but still keep my hands free. I have a need to work on equipment while talking to various companies tech support lines. While a speakerphone does allow me to hear them, it does not help them to hear me. I did not buy this for music, because my cheap wired headphones with a USB-C connector deliver better music quality due to those pesky laws of physics. (It should be illegal for phones to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack.) Despite how they look, for me they work just fine for calls. However, I can see their design would also cause them not to work for some people. Be prepared to return them if that is the case.Setting up the earpiece was relatively straightforward. Since I already have a Samsung phone, I decided on these. The Galaxy wearable app opened, and the process started. It included 3 difference sized earpieces, and the app said each one was not a good fit. So I stuck with the medium sized piece.By default noise cancellation was on. But this quickly gave me a terrible headache. 5 minutes with these in and noise cancellation going was enough to give me a headache for the rest of the day. I turned off noise cancellation the next day and I didn’t get a headache. I think I got motion sickness due to the noise cancellation.I haven’t tested the battery life. These headphones are for work, not music. I only did a limited test in music quality, again because my only concern is telephone conversations. For that, they work fine for me.Update: I finally tested the music for this. The quality was good enough, but clearly inferior to a cheap set of wired headphones. Also, the delay in bluetooth is evident in videos if you look close enough. The lack of physical buttons is a serious issue. While working outside, a gnat got in my ear and to get it out, I had to touch an earpiece which paused the music. I found myself frequently accidentally touching them; very aggravating. Although it was nice to be able to work outside a few feet away from my phone. Kept my phone from getting damaged. None of the advantages outweigh the advantages of a proper headphone jack, but it is a nice ALTERNATIVE in certain situations.Also, irreplaceable batteries should be very very illegal, even for tiny headphones like this.

Mailman Approved!
I bought these for my husband who goes through AirPods like it is his day job. He is a mail carrier and therefore listens to A LOT of podcasts and music a day. It is safe to say it is his lifeline. He’s been going through so many airpod pros, our wallet can’t handle it. After doing a lot of research he chose these and now I am envious because I want a pair. He has used them for over a week and is super impressed with the sound quality and battery life, and it is really hard to impress him. They have a sleek design and fit his ear better than airpods. I’ll update on battery life after he has used them for a few months since he uses them every single day, but for now he has been raving about them.

Great sound quality
I was tired of buying inexpensive earbuds with wires for my workouts, they just don’t last that long. I was a little skeptical on how these would fit at first, but I love them! They fit very comfortably and the sound quality is excellent. The noise canceling option works very nicely as well. Well worth the money I paid.

a must have for dirt biking
I recently had the opportunity to experience the SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and I must say, these true wireless Bluetooth earbuds have left me thoroughly impressed, surpassing even the renowned Apple Powerbeats Pro in several aspects.First and foremost, the noise-canceling capabilities of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are a game-changer. The ability to block out external distractions and immerse oneself in music or calls is unparalleled. It’s a stark contrast to the Powerbeats Pro, which, while excellent, do not offer active noise cancellation. This feature alone elevates the listening experience to a new level.Sound quality is another area where the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro shine. The sound is crisp, clear, and well-balanced, delivering rich bass and detailed highs. The adaptive sound feature adjusts the audio based on your surroundings, ensuring optimal audio quality whether you’re in a quiet room or a bustling street. While the Powerbeats Pro offers impressive sound quality, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro’s noise-canceling prowess gives them a slight edge.Comfort and fit are crucial for extended use, and here, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro excel. They come with multiple ear tip sizes, ensuring a secure fit for various ear shapes. The lightweight design and ergonomic shape make them comfortable to wear for hours, even during intense workouts. While the Powerbeats Pro are comfortable, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro’s superior noise-canceling and comfort combination tips the scales.Battery life is impressive, providing ample playback time and talk time on a single charge. The fast charging feature is convenient for those quick top-ups on the go.The Samsung Galaxy Wear app enhances the overall experience, allowing for easy customization of touch controls and access to various sound profiles.In conclusion, the SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are a testament to Samsung’s commitment to innovation and quality in the audio realm. While the Apple Powerbeats Pro are undoubtedly excellent earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro’s noise-canceling capabilities, sound quality, and overall comfort make them a superior choice for those seeking a premium wireless audio experience. Samsung has truly raised the bar with these earbuds, and they come highly recommended.

work perfectly
As an overear connoisseur/snob, its a bit tough to find ear buds that actually make me happy. With that said, if you are a samsung phone user, there really isnt any better option at this price point. They get the job done, and do it well enough that I cant really complain.

Terrible fit for me
Edit: After planning to return these, I went back to my 2nd gen AirPods. There is no contest. I cannot go back. I will be sorting out how to get a better fit and keeping these. I literally JUST found the extra ear tips, don’t judge me! So I really hope that helps.They hold a charge well. Sound and call quality are great. Call quality was very important to me. However, the fit for me is quite annoying as I’m readjusting these every set or two during my workouts. At first the right one kept slipping out, now the left one keeps losing its seal to where I can hear ambient sounds. Even if I do the fit test, they are a good fit and then move again. These cost too much for me to have to keep fiddling with. Since I have touch controls active, readjusting also makes me pause or skip music and disconnect calls. If they fit your ears, these are perfect. These will be returned.

Great sound. Software is not quite at “pro” level.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way. These are fantastic sounding. End of story. If you are looking for sound quality out of a wireless set of earbuds, you can almost just stop here and be fine.My smaller issue is the fit. They fit pretty well, but aren’t staying in for longer periods of time. I feel like I’m always re-adjusting them. I will have to see if comply foam tips will fit as those will probably help resolve that issue.My bigger issue is actually the software. God forbit any one company get things right. I’ve had Sennheiser Momentums that sounded really good, but over time died so I moved on to the venerable Sony XM3’s. They were really nice, but you couldn’t adjust the volume like you could with the Sennheisers. Ok fine, their software allowed for a lot of customization though. I won’t ever go back to Sony’s though as the battery life on those is absolutely terrible. Not when they’re new. But after only about a year the XM3’s wouldn’t hold a charge. I thought moving to the XM4’s would help, but alas, after a year they wouldn’t hold a charge either. Not sure what Sony is doing battery wise, but they need to do something else.So I moved on from the Sony’s to these. Right away, I liked the sound of these so much more. But the software, while nice, is not very friendly when it comes to customizing them. You can’t set anything to be whatever you want. You can’t set the left and right to do individual things. My left is set to where if I hold it the earbuds go from ANC to Ambient sound and vice versa. The right side is set to go between Normal and ANC. But you can’t set one side to go through the three settings (like you can on Sony). Why? This seems nonsensical. Also, with the Sony’s I could have them connected to two devices at once and it would just play whichever device was being used. Not these.While I highly recommend them for sound quality, the software, while looking good, is actually weird and a little clunky. To me, it’s not quite PRO level. Maybe some future updates will get it there though.

Better than the “beans”
I have the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live in bronze and now these in lavender. And the sound quality in Buds 2 Pro is significantly better than the “beans”. That was probably my biggest issue with them. It was also difficult to find the right position with them that wouldn’t muffle the audio. And I also felt that I wasn’t getting the best sound.I don’t have that problem with these Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, though. I have average sized ear holes, so they stay in place once they are in. The best part for me, however, is how great the audio is because of the better design and technology of these buds. It makes the equalizer audio options far more functional and noticeable in the quality of sound when you opt to use them.The texture of these is smooth and velvety compared to the hard plastic feel of the “beans” and the clarity during calls is far better. I like that these also match with my new lavender S23 Ultra phone.The only criticism I can give us that it has ocassionally given problems with connecting to my phone but I think that’s more a software issue. But when this has happened, it will connect after my second attempt. The battery life is fine, although I’ve found that the more enhancement features you use, the quicker it’ll drain the battery.Basically, once you try these, the chances of you going back to the Buds Live ear buds will be slim to none.

Good overall headphones
I would like it more if they supported multi-device Bluetooth linking. The noise-cancelling is nowhere as good as Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds, but they’re also cheaper.

In love with my new Buds
These are my first pair of ‘unwired’ buds. Was using a Bose model previously. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, so setting these up was a snap. I literally opened the case and they connected to my phone. I love all of the options for controlling the buds, noise control, voice detect, 360 audio, etc. – they all work spectacularly. The case is the charger which is kinda cool, you can charge the case without the buds and charge the buds without the case being plugged in. They come with different sized covers so you can use the ones that fit your ears the best, and the fit test in the app is a great feature. I do wish they had wings though, I’ve always had a hard time getting buds to stay in my ears. Overall, I do love them (especially the color 😉 ).Couple of minor things to note – obviously none of these were deal breakers for me: 1. The touch sensors are exactly that – touchy. When adjusting them in my ears it’s very easy to accidentally change a setting. On the bright side, it’s pretty easy to change it back. 2. You can’t connect to 2 devices at once, i.e.; phone and laptop. My old buds did and would switch to the active device, so kind of missing that. Connecting them to devices other than the phone is pretty simple, however, and once set up it’s just hitting ‘Connect’ and you’re good to go. 3. The charging cable is USB-C to USB-C. I don’t have a USB-C compatible charging block and don’t want to keep them plugged into my laptop, so I found a USB to USB-C cable and use that. No issues. 4. They are a little uncomfy when trying to get them to sit in my ears correctly. But once seated they do stay pretty snug and I hardly notice them. I use them when running/working out and they haven’t fallen out yet. Although I did almost lose one down the garbage disposal today, so take that with a grain of salt 5. SmartThings App. I installed this based on some troubleshooting I was doing with a knockoff pair I bought (didn’t realize they were knockoffs at the time). When installed it automatically connected my earbuds to my phone and if I was running my mobile hotspot, it would automatically disconnect the hotspot. A serious pain in the ass since I use that for meetings… it was driving me batty so I uninstalled it. It’s not a necessary app for legit buds. 6. I connected these to my laptop and had issues with sound cutting in and out. Found out it is usually related to an out of date Bluetooth driver. So if you are connecting to your laptop and the sound cuts in and out, update your Intel Bluetooth driver – should fix the issue.

Absolutely Positively Amazing!
I bought these for my wife. We have bought at least four different sets of earbuds, including off brand and Bose. These Samsung Galaxy Pro 2 Earbuds stand out from the others. I am not sure if it is because of them matching my Samsung Galaxy S20+ or if it is just because they were designed very well and with significant thought. But they are truly amazing.First, setup took less than thirty seconds. Nice simple easy, just the way it should be.The sound quality is equal to Bose. Within the application (Galaxy Wearable), you have an equalizer that offers six different settings. As of this moment I have not found any way to customize the equalizer. These earbuds offer 360 surround sound and head tracking, which allows the sound to focus on the direction of the device that it is coming from. Turning your head to one side makes the earbuds focus the sound a little more to the earbud. I guess that would work great if watching videos or something. For music, I really see no significance.The fit is perfect. They come with three different sizes. My wife needs the smallest and they fit perfectly for her ears. The middle size fits my ears. They are easily changed in a matter of a few seconds. Once on, you do not need to worry about the sleeves coming off easily as with many other brands.The noise cancellation is positively amazing! I have a two-year-old that has the ability to shatter glass with their voice. My ears ring when they scream, and they scream A LOT. That feature alone sold me. As soon as I tried her buds, I went back to Amazon and ordered a pair for me! I can still hear my child, but it no longer murders my ear drums, which is perfect. This nice feature actually enables me to keep my volume down to a safer level. I can’t wait to test these buds against my riding mower.Then let’s talk about background sound during a conversation on the phone. Every other earbud I and my wife have ever tried has been able to pick up significant background noise. These earbuds seriously focus on the voice of the wearer and not just every sound around them. You can hear their voice clearly and the background noise seems to be “further away” making conversation much easier for the other side of the call.These earbuds offer head tilt reminders. I use my computer a lot and when I am working, I do have the tendency to tilt my head forward. These earbuds detect when you keep your head tilted too long and remind you.Notifications are identified by a voice with these earbuds. This is also customizable based according to the application and you can set it to read the notifications in more detail. I know if it is a text message, e-mail or application notification, which is great. Now I don’t have to look at my phone every single time to determine if the notification warrants my attention.Operation of the earbuds is pretty simple. While the volume control will certainly take me a little to adapt to, the rest is understandable. First, you can customize the earbuds response to taps and holds (holding finger to a certain earbud) so that you get the features that are most important to you. That alone is nice since no earbud I have experienced has ever allowed this. One downside is the volume control. Where all the other earbuds in the past either had buttons to raise or lower volume or the ability to slide the finger up or down on one earbud, these require both earbuds. The left lowers the volume while the right raises the volume. Answering phone calls (default) is simply double tapping the right earbud. Playing music, tapping the right or left earbud will pause the music and one tap again will resume the music. Double tapping will skip forward one track and triple tap backs it up one track. Of course, as mentioned earlier, you can change this in the application to suit your needs.Battery life is pretty impressive. They boast 29 hours of battery life. So far that seems to be true. My wife uses her earbuds all day and does not need to drop them back into the charger during her daily routine. This certainly stands out against the Bose earbuds I have used that have only about a 3-hour battery life. On top of the extended battery life compared to others, if you are using only one earbud and leaving one in the case, you can change out earbuds mid-call and not lose your call. That is a feature I have never had the privilege of enjoying with other earbud brands.The charging case is simple to use. Just drop the earbuds in. The charging port is a USB-C and they provide a cord in the package. Compatibility to other brand phones seems to be a possible problem, but honestly, I expected that. My wife has an I-phone for work and is not able to connect to it with these earbuds as of yet. The internet does claim they will connect and to my knowledge, they should since Bluetooth is pretty much Bluetooth, and the technology should be the same across all devices.Another nice feature I enjoy is earbud location detection. They will show on a map using GPS, where your earbuds are, which is nice. Also, you can make them ring out to locate them if you are at their location, but just don’t see them. These location features do require having the Smart Things application, which is also available in the google play store.Overall, these earbuds are amazing, and they are competitively priced. I highly recommend these for just about anybody.

About perfect for wireless headphones.
For what they are, I think the device is well-engineered. The Pro 2s are high-quality earbuds. You really kind of need the Samsung app for the equalizer and the various settings you get with touch and sound, so make sure to get it. Without the app, I wouldn’t really think they are the best choice. But most people will be using these with Galaxy phones. Equalizers per music player, such as VLC, are much better so be sure to use that if you have it to get the best sound.These buds are lighter compared to the previous Pro model. A huge plus. They fit perfectly in my ear almost, and they don’t really seem like they will fall out even when running or working harder than normal. I will have to test them for longer lengths of time. So far so good.The packaging and contents are very simple: you get three sets of tips, though, the middle ones are default and worked great, with one smaller cord to charge the magnetic box for storage. It’s a grippier, matte texture for the box too. Mine came in a simple plastic bag from Amazon.It is highly recommended you download the Wear app from Samsung. Once you have that they are very easy to set up, and you can constantly monitor whatever you need to with ease. Warranty and registration were a bit harder than I would have liked, but it’s doable, not that the warranty is very long on these. You only get a year, and everybody should realize these cannot take many falls. They are very sensitive, so make sure they fit your ears!The features on these are pretty killer all told. I usually turn noise-cancellation off, as it uses too much battery, and I don’t really want or need that kind of thing. Ambient sensors when talking are awesome, and the normal isolation is a good space between something like Etymotic in-ear headphones and Sennheiser open-backs. You can fiddle with settings to get your preferences for how you touch and manipulate the device. I found my preferences were quite easy to set up, and the whole thing took about ten minutes.I had no issues with sensitivity on the touch panel area of the earbuds. Works great for me. I do wish these came with a better equalizer, but the Clear setting is probably the most balanced. These are way too bassy out of the gate, and the response is definitely not flat. The Clear setting reduces the bass a bit for a more neutral and even setting with a touch of added treble. I just wish they would let us direct our own EQ options though. Seems like it would be a pretty easy addition to the software. Volume wasn’t overpowering at max, but I think it did the job. Again, this is nothing like an amped pair of open-back headphones, so don’t expect concert-level sound.AKG has engineered these fairly well in the product space. I’d put them up there with some decent midrange in-ear headphones like the Etymotic ER3XR. There is no way these will compete with any decent open-backs like a Sennheiser HD600 when amped, but I didn’t expect that. For what they are, they do the job well, look and feel nice, and the new matte texture is vastly superior and more premium than the first Pro by a mile.All told, if you want to go the wireless earbud route, these are a top option with very few competitors when you take in the whole experience. They won’t replace my normal wired headphones at all, but they might be a godsend at work when I just need to chill out and listen to some tunes without the bother of lugging my phone around and wires getting in the way.I don’t recommend using these things for hours at a time. There is a serious lack of scientific knowledge on the amount of low-dose radiation over long periods of time. RF, EMR, et cetera. A lot of newer, independent science is starting to find anomalies with oxidation with lower doses and non-ionizing radiation in general. SAR data so far still uses fairly old standards, and though these are a little less powerful in specific absorption rate than a high-end phone, most wear them for WAY longer than that while directly in your ear.If you do need some quality in-ear wireless buds, these are definitely an option to consider. Their SAR data was slightly below the Airpod levels at least. All in all you can’t do much better for your wireless audio needs.

Best Samsungs Yet, but not Perfect
I 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 think I’m in Love
I’ve had these Buds 2 Pro for a few days now and I’m in love with them. I paired them to a Samsung S22 Ultra, so they work together like peas and carrots.HEAD TRACKING: I like the head tracking feature. If you turn your head away from your media the sound increases in the bud that is closest to your device. Keeps the sound focused in the direction of the device. It’s rather neat.FIT: I had to change the earpieces out to the smallest right away, but it’s important that you get a good fit.They don’t bulge from my ears much. Just a bit. There is “Check fit” area in the Samsung App.ANC: The noise cancelling is pretty amazing. Actually makes you appreciate the silence when you turn it on. Very close to perfect silence.AMBIENT SOUND: When you switch to ambient sound, the best way to describe it is like a hearing aid. Everything seems a bit loud at first, but you can hear what’s going on around you once you get used to it. You don’t realize how much white noise is in your environment until you switch off ANC.VOICE DETECTION: I’m not sure if I like the voice detection so much. When you start singing along with the music, your sound decreases until you remember to turn it off. It works well if you’re in an office environment and want to lower the audio if you are talking but the shortest return time is 5 seconds if voice is detected. I wish there were a shorter time. Turning on the ambient sound can also be enough. The jury is still out on that feature.TOUCH CONTROLS: The touch controls are responsive, but I wish I could change the taps to customize it more. I might want to switch between noise cancelling and ambient sound or change the volume, but I can only do one or the other with the current setup. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me.COMFORT: They’re comfortable enough for me to have in my ears for an extended period of time with the correct sized earpiece. They’re easy to insert, but button presses are inevitable when inserting them. They sync right up to my Samsung phone and watch.FASHION: My ears are quite small, so the tiny ends were my choice. They don’t bulge out of my ear too much. Just a little, really. Sometimes I can hear my hair brush the buds and a wet head has tripped a button press, but it hasn’t been a deal breaking issue. Just something to be aware of.I haven’t tried using these in bed, which will probably happen at some point as I like to catch up on shows when I can’t sleep, so I can’t speak for comfort if you lay on one ear while using them.OVERALL : Fit is good. Sound is nice. They’re very responsive and easy to use. I’d recommend them to any Samsung user for compatibility and interoperability. I think I’d get these even if I used something other than Samsung, though. They’re well made and the texture is rubber-like so they’re easy to handle. Case can charge wirelessly, which is a convenient plus.

Review after 4 months. Great Earbuds, but not perfect.
First for some background, I have owned at least three different pairs of True Wireless Earbuds with ANC: the Galaxy Buds Pro, Sony WF-1000XM4 Earbuds, and Galaxy Buds Pro 2. I’ve yet to try any of Jabra’s offering and haven’t touched Apple Airpods as they have known issues on Android. That said, paired with a newer Samsung phone, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are great. The design and build quality is better than the Galaxy Buds Pro in almost every way. The soft touch finish instead of that annoying glossy design means you’re less likely to drop them accidentally while removing them from the case. The case is also conveniently wireless charging or USB Type C Fast Charging. The only thing I don’t like about the case is that’s it’s still a somewhat loose fit for the earbuds, and they need inserted at an angle(by design, but kind of annoying) when putting them back. The fit for me isn’t perfect, but I actually find them more comfortable than both the Galaxy Buds Pro and Sony XM4 Earbuds. I hated the glossy finish on the original Galaxy Buds Pro, and the XM4 Earbuds while solid were too large for many users, myself included. These are lighter and more comfortable than either of those two, but it requires messing with it a bit to really get a good seal. If you don’t have a Samsung phone, you need to download the Galaxy Wearable App, which allows you to update the firmware(particularly important), adjust EQ, change noise cancelling settings, etc. You can stick with the default EQ, which is overall very balanced, choose another EQ preset, or set your own. They still have Game Mode which I absolutely love, as it keeps input lag to an absolute minimum while playing games like COD Mobile. The ANC is really good, but quite as good as the XM4 Earbuds (TBH it might be a while before anything beats those in ANC). Still very natural sounding Ambient Sound Mode, but then the noise cancelling doesn’t nearly block out the entire room like Sony. Sound again is overall very balanced on the default EQ, and I’m quite happy with it. The XM4 Earbuds sounded slightly better, but many users may barely be able to tell the difference if at all, and LDAC never performs as well in terms of latency. I’ve stuck with the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 due to the better fit over the original Galaxy Buds Pro and Sony XM4 Earbuds, with the fit and seal in particular being my only real gripe. The Game Mode is something more earbuds need to offer at this price point, and it’s especially weird for the same company that makes the PlayStation not to have a game mode. On sale the XM4 Earbuds are $10 more than the Galaxy Buds Pro 2, and still lack game mode of any kind. I would still strongly recommend these over the XM4 Earbuds due to the better materials, smaller size, and general comfort. I would especially recommend these if you already have a Samsung phone or tablet, as they pair incredibly well it.

Why did I wait so long to buy these
All of my mobile devices are Samsung products. I have the Samsung Note 20 Ultra phone, the Tab 8 Ultra tablet and now I have the latest earbuds Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Not sure why I waited so long to purchase Samsung earbuds. I would usually purchase either Sony or Jabber and in one case the Amazon Echo Buds (Priced right and used for travel – it lost I didn’t pay a lot of $$$ for them). Back to the review. I find the Galaxy Buds to be on par regarding sound, battery life, features, and fit with my Jabber’s 75T and close to the 85t.Sound:The earbuds have a rich sound that can be enhanced using the built-in EQ settings. Listen to a lot of Audible Audiobooks and often set the eq to voice. I can clearly hear the voice even when the narrator has a booming bass-filled voice. For music, they do not disappoint either. The sound is rich and clear and has a nice amount of base that does not drown out the vocals.Battery:Battery life is great for my needs. I use these on walks and when my wife drags me along on a shopping trip. With ANC enabled that lasts for about 5 ish hours.Features:-I love how these integrate into the Samsung echo systems. The same Samsung Galaxy wearable app I use for my Samsung Watch 6, is used to manage the earbuds.-Voice Detect is a very cool feature that allows me to automatically turn on ambient sound and lower the volume for a quick conversation. Normal playback resumes after 5, 10, or 15 settings. That way when someone approaches me to have a conversation, I do not have to tap the earbuds or fumble around with my phone to stop playback. This feature also seems to know if I am actually talking to someone versus singing along with the music, super cool tech!-Touch controls are good but limited. For instance, where you can customize what a tap does it does not allow customization for the individual buds. If I set the custom setting of “Touch and Hold” to switch noise controls, noise control is then enabled on both the left and right bud. I wish that I could make the left bud handle the noise control and the right handle volume down or something along those lines.-360 Audio:Helps to enhance the overall sound, probably through the EQ settings. The sounds seem to be more dynamic and make me want to dance. There is also a head-tracking function that is used for video/movies. Head tracking adjusts the sound direction when you turn your head, making it seem like the sound is coming from the direction you are looking.Fit:Fit can be subjective as it really depends on your biology. These earbuds have been the best fitting earbuds for me ever. My more expensive Sony WF-1000XM4 had great sound and features but fell short in the fitment department for me, same goes for the Jabra 75T/85T.Summary:My entire immediate family uses the Samsung Echo system. I have purchased these earbuds for everyone but myself. I guess I was being an earbud snob, thinking these were inferior to the likes of Sony and Jabra. These are great earbuds and I recommend you give them a try. I wish I had tried them much sooner. I was going to buy the newer Sony buds WF1000 XM5, but the Samsung bud2 pros were a steal compared to the Sony’s so I decided to give them a try. I am so happy I did as these are now my go-to earbuds.

App Requires 100pct Phone Access
First and most important, these are just Bluetooth-connected. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP.I was happy to learn you can connect these buds like any Bluetooth speaker or headphones. If you read the slim instructions with the buds, they direct you to download the app. I did. I uninstalled the app in about 5 minutes.The app requires that you be permitted to access your entire phone – all of it. Call logs, contacts, SMS, and more. IMHO, the app is a dark dank hole that wants access to everything. I did find one feature that requires the app to turn it on. I’ll live without that feature.Now, they work great! Seriously nice. They fit well, they have a great sound. They came with a little box of replacement earbud tips (it might have been nice if they were labeled).Another SERIOUSLY GREAT feature is that if you have a compatible phone, you can charge your earbuds on the back of your phone wirelessly.I had to look up the various taps and what they did online. I assume the app would have explained those functions.If Samsung reads this, change the app! I don’t want to make a phone call or send a text message with earbuds. I bought them to just listen to music. The app should not require all that permission. The first song I played was, “I did it my way.”

Favorite wireless buds!
Got these just for everyday use and to replace my gen 1 airpod pros. I really wanted to be able to see the charge levels since I use a galaxy device and you can’t do that using airpods without downloading potentially dangerous apps. Zero issues connecting the buds to my phone. I love that it came with super small tips! I had the smallest ones on my airpods and they were still too big and would wiggle out of my ears as well as hurt my ears. The buds stay in place for hours and I have very minimal ear discomfort. The 360 audio and automatic volume adjustment when it detects voices keeps me from having to pause my music or remove a bud when I get drop in visitors in my office. The buds hold a charge very well and I charge the case maybe once a week, which is impressive considering I use the buds almost 10 hours a day. Highly recommend!

First “nice” headphones
So as the title suggests this is my first pair of $100+ headphones so don’t take my word as gospel. Also, my hearing is not the best so.. right so my three observations:1. These do sound great! Almost makes me feel like I’m sitting in my car listening to music. Are they top teir? Probably not! Are you listening to uncompressed audio? Probably not!2. Turn off 360 sound or whatever is called (samsung). It’s a neat gimmick if you want it to sound like the music is coming sorta from your phone still.3. Noise cancelation is unsettling. Let me start by saying these are the first headphones I have had with this feature and my ears suck. That said, it’s almost dead silent with these on! I had no idea my laundry was still running till I touched the machine! Not a fan in public but love it at home.That’s pretty much it. There are a lot of reviews so idk why I wrote one.

Long lasting and durable
After have this product for a couple of months, I do not regret my purchase, the noise canceling could slightly be better but just tweaking it via the Samsung wearable app optimizes everything you might desire.Battery life is extremely long and I’ve only needed to charge my earbuds at most once a day if I’m using it all day, it is also quite durable. As one can see on my posted photo, I forgot about it at a parking lot and when I retrieved it, I found the visible dents and was worried it wouldn’t work!Luckily, the sound quality remained the same and it still functioned as if it was never damaged, would highly recommend if you wants ear buds that can withstand most things.If I had one true gripe about the product it would be that its touch sensitivity seems to be not as good as the previous generations earbuds, other than that, everything else is great!

Fun earbuds
I bought these to replace my Moondrop Sparks which died on me because I kept using them at work despite not having any IPX rating. This led me to looking for a earbud with an IPX rating but that still had good sound, and while my Moondrop Sparks certainly win out in the sound department, IMO, the Samsung buds win in almost every other way.Pros:1. Battery life of the earbuds is good, with ANC off I can make it though a day at work no problem, and I normally use only one earbud at a time at work anyway.2. Sound is good, while you can get better sound for a lower price, you lose many features such as the high IPX7 rating, ANC, Passthrough, etc.3. When I do use both earbuds at work this is where the ANC shines, while the ANC cant seem to handle high frequency sounds, the droning of factory machines is totally blocked out.4. IPX7Cons:1. Case battery life is weak IMO, while I understand this is to keep case size small and was a design choice for me it is still a con.2. Costly, I got these as a refurb because the full price is far to much. As all TWS earbuds will one day die and have to be replaced these are simply not worth the full price to me, I am pleased that the price seems to drop over time but as It stands now I could have bought two pairs of my Sparks at the full price of these buds, at that point given how long they lasted I cant say these are worth the price for me.3. Ambient mode can not handle wind at all, in any form not even a light breeze.4. Doesn’t get loud enough with a single earbud to use in noisy environment.Overall a good pair of earbuds, I like them and they work for what I got them for perfectly well.

Not Compatible With IOS App
So, I didn’t realize that the IOS Galaxy app would not pick up these buds. It’s my own fault for not doing more research but I just figured these types of devices would be fairly streamline.Pros:- If you like an emphasized bass, these are great!- The touch controls are easy to use- I’m an average sized woman and these buds fit my ears well. I don’t feel that they’ll easily slip out.- Even without the app, I can still use the outside noise mode. It just isn’t automatic since I can’t set it to that without the app.- They’re aesthetically pleasing to me- The noise reduction is nice.- The bluetooth range seems fairly good.Cons- As of now, the features are limited if you’re an IOS user.- For me, the mids and highs seem muted. I’m used to Sony and other headphones with more clarity in the mids and treble.- The built in mic is mediocre but does its job.- The battery life is insanely low for the price. They last about 3 hours on a full charge. With the price tag, I would expect them to last ateast 8 hours maybe?Additional note: I bought mine refurbished + the black case shown in my photo was purchased separately. The buds came with the white charging case and a charging cable.
