![]() Since it does support Fast Pair, simply opening the case will put the earbuds in pairing mode and a prompt will pop up in supported Android and Windows devices. Samsung has stated that the Buds2 Pro will support Bluetooth LE later this year, but at the time of this review, it has not arrived. Considering that these are “Pro” earbuds, there should be support for higher quality codecs that will work on non-Samsung devices. This SSC codec only works with Samsung devices running OneUI 4.0 and above, and enables up to 24-bit audio streaming on the Galaxy Buds2 Pro.ĭisappointingly, there is no support for Qualcomm’s AptX or LDAC codecs. ![]() Regarding codecs, the earbuds support AAC, SBC and SSC (which stands for Samsung Seamless Codec). The Galaxy Buds2 Pro supports Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, which is the latest in Bluetooth technology at the moment. A good, comfortable fit is important for a good ANC experience and to reduce the chances of fatigue. So, I would strongly recommend trying out the earbuds at a store to check the fit before buying. Understandably, this may not apply to someone else who has a differently shaped ear. ![]() In comparison, the Buds2 Pro fell out once when I was working out and another time when I was eating. They stayed in my ears at all times and almost never fell out. However, I did like the fit of the Galaxy Buds2 earbuds better. I used the medium ear tips and I was able to get a good seal. So how about the fit? Well for my ears, it fits in quite snugly. Lastly, just like the previous generation, the earbuds are IPX7 certified for water resistance. The location of the Wear Detection sensors, charging posts and vents have been moved around slightly, but the area for the touch controls remain the same. This ensures that you don’t feel too much fatigue during long listening sessions. They are lightweight too, weighing in at 5.5gms. They are 15% smaller than the previous generation, and they have a fully matte exterior similar to the charging case. The earbuds have a slightly different, more refined design this time around. The case magnets are strong and closing the lid of the case has a satisfying “thud” sound. To charge the case, you can either connect via the USB Type-C port on the back or wirelessly with a Qi-compatible charging pad. It feels a bit softer against the skin too.īesides this, the charging indicators for the case and the earbuds are in the same location. Personally, I like this finish better, as it does a good job of hiding fingerprints and scratches. The one major change is the finish, which is now matte instead of shiny. Its size is still compact, and it can fit inside the tiny pocket on a pair of jeans, which is neat. ![]() ![]() It is clamshell-styled, square shaped with rounded corners and rounded edges all around, making it easy to slide in and out of a pocket. The design of the case is pretty much identical to the first generation of the Galaxy Buds Pro. Here is our review of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. The latest from Samsung is the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and it is set to take on the Apple AirPods Pro, the Google Pixel Buds Pro and Sony’s WF-1000XM4. At the high-end there are brands like Samsung, Sony, Apple, Bose and Google competing, and the competition is fierce. The true wireless earbuds space has seen a lot of competition in the last few years, and in nearly every price segment, too. ![]()
