Galaxy Buds2 Pro: Strong features for Samsung fans
If you’re using a Samsung smartphone, the Buds2 Pro are definitely worth a look. However, their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness: the in-ears work optimally with Galaxy devices, but are only partially compatible with Apple products.
Whichever smartphone you use the sound is one of the absolute highlights of the Buds2 Pro. The bass is powerful, the sound image is differentiated. The active noise reduction (ANC) also works very well, albeit not as optimally as with the previous model.
If desired, the Buds2 allow ambient noise through, so you can easily follow conversations without taking the earbuds off. Conveniently, this feature turns on automatically when you speak. So you don’t have to pick up your phone and open the app.
Speaking of the app: it offers plenty of setting options, but it is not available for Apple devices. There’s an equalizer, a fit test, and even an automatic neck stretch reminder. You can also specify which gestures you want to use to control which functions of the Buds2 Pro.
The battery of the Samsung in-ear headphones lasts about five hours with the ANC turned on. It’s eight hours with no noise reduction. The charging case provides an additional 18 hours of power. This puts the headphones in the medium range.
The IPX7 certification of the Samsung earplugs is also worth mentioning, which theoretically allows for a 30 minute submersion in a meter deep fresh water. In practice, this means that you can easily survive a heavy rain shower with the Buds2 Pro. However, you should think twice about swimming with headphones, because the Samsung earplugs sit firmly in your ears, but can fall out during great physical exertion.
But even if the earbuds fail, you can easily find them again with the SmartThings Find function. But you do need a Samsung Galaxy device with Android 8 or higher.
All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro offer a huge range of features, especially for Samsung users strong sound and great ANC. However, Apple fans should look for in-ear headphones with the Apple.
