Product Description
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, launched in August 2021, offer a compelling mix of sound quality, comfort, and features at a mid-range price . They feature dual drivers that deliver balanced audio—with deeper bass and clear mids and highs—though they may lack robust sub-bass punch .
ANC is effective for city commutes and office environments, though it doesn’t match top-tier earbuds like Sony or Bose . Battery life is around 5 hours per charge with ANC active; the case adds roughly 15 extra hours, totaling ~20 hours—without ANC, playback can reach 7.5 hours per bud and ~29 hours total .
Comfort and fit are standout qualities: lightweight (~5 g), small form factor, and multiple ear-tip options ensure a snug and stable fit, ideal for long listening sessions . Touch controls are intuitive, and the Galaxy Wearable app enables ANC/ambient toggling, EQ presets, earbud fit tests, and “Find My Buds”—though on iOS, customization is limited .
Connectivity is smooth with Bluetooth 5.2, and Samsung’s Scalable Codec enhances audio quality on Galaxy devices . The earbuds also include convenient proximity sensors to pause playback when removed .
