Galaxy Buds+'s 11-hour battery life was legit. I remember using that in the beginning of the pandemic in my classes so I was non-stop in calls the whole day. They still had bettery by the end of the day.
I loved my buds+ at first, but the right bud just got quieter and quieter and now it’s hardly audible. I’m looking to upgrade but I really will miss the battery.
I have these buds and after trying every single pair of high end buds available in a brick and mortar store, I can say they have noticeably better sound quality than an other brand I’ve tried. Senheiser Momentum 3 would be second, pixel and beats don’t come close. They’re amazing buds unless your must have are ANC and an expansive App.
I found that to be the same for me to. Goes to show you can't really trust reviews and sound is subjective but having wired audiophile grade headphones I'd say Samsung is the best bet for someone who wants to go wireless when on the go. Can't compete with wired set ups but pretty great for what it is. The only one I'd put above the buds 2 pro would be the beoplay ex
Got my preordered Galaxy Buds2 Pro this evening. Its very good so far 👍🏼The best sound quality experience so far I have heard in a TWS and the fit is so much better than the previous gen that I still own, which were by themselves very good in terms of sound quality. ANC mode along with music is also much better blended /balanced. Track separation is sublime...samsung has nailed it 👌 The ANC is done so well that even the medium sized ear tips are good enough and offer great sound experience. Well played Samsung. 👏
Already have my buds pro 2. I agree with the ambient sound tinkering as wind noises happen when I walk. So far, sound quality and everything else is a bigger improvement from the original Pro
Really? I tried the pro last year and coming from the airpods the sound felt to focused on the bass for my taste with little quality middle and high wise. Do you feel like they improved in terms of vocals and comfort? Thanks
@@andreasofia3376 buds pro were tuned with more emphasis on bass and treble to appeal more to (most) "inexperienced" listeners, while the buds 2 pro are more balanced and make vocals stand out a little more
I use poweramp, and I can confirm that these buds playback sound in 24 bits. They sound amazing and are a surprising evolution/improvement over the original pros.
Thanks for another great review! I got the Buds pro for free with my S22+ preorder and have been using them since, till today (this evening) when my Buds2 Pro arrived. My experience with the original Pro's. At first the buds pro were a bit uncomfortable but my ears adjusted to this, but I often have to re-adjust them when using them, the fit was always "ok" but never perfect . With the buds2 pro I dont have this problem anymore, as you said the biggest upgrade is the fit. It feels very secure and because of this the sound also sounds better produced, with a tighter seal. The ANC is much better compared to the old buds pro in my opinion but I havent had too much time to test these out properly just yet. I also got the Buds2 pro at a great discount paying only roughly 1350 SEK for them, or about 130$ and I got a free Fast wireless charger duo too as part of the preorder deal. I think it was well worth it!
Do they fall out of your ear through the time of using them? I have the pros and they keep falling out when they get greasy through the time of using them
Before I share my experience, I want to make it known that you CAN check if it's running in 24bit audio and using the right codec, if you enable developer options in Android settings and going to the Bluetooth section. If it's running the right codec and bit rate, you'll see it in the info there. I got mine yesterday. The ANC is comparable to my wh1000xm4s and bose nch700. I had to keep switching between to notice differences and even then, they were small. ANC is better than my galaxy buds pro, buds 2, and airpods pro. Sound is better than all 3. I really love these things. They fit better than my buds pro and buds 2, are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable. Serious samsung did a great job with them.
@@KawaiiM4A1S I see, okay thanks! I'm using a pixel 6 Pro, so unfortunately won't be able to take advantage of the higher bit rate. I'm passing on these buds
I've got Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. They have the perfect fit in my ears! I mostly use them for walking and watching videos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
Just got these in today. I've had the first Buds, Buds 2, and Buds Live. Also have the Sony XM4 Cans. These sound wonderful. ANC on these is heads above everything else I've tried for buds. Close to the XM4s. 360 audio has a way to go. They look very sleek as well. Can't speak to battery life just yet. 5hrs is reported to be very conservative. More of 6-7 unless you're going all out the whole 5hrs. Overall I'm happy with the promos provided by Samsung on these. Trading in the G1 buds for 75$ off. On top of another 15$ or so for Military. Around 150 for me with tax. Having these will move my 2nd favorite, the Lives, to work as my work buds. I also noticed that these Buds 2 Pro required no Metronome manipulation for me to have synced audio\video on this YT video. In the past, I've usually had to advance that by 1 click to get it just right. ✌️
How do you find the feel. I found the previous version couldnt stick well in my ears (even when i bought foam tips.. when i shook my head theyd still fall out). The first series stick the best atm since it has the wings.
Huge fan of Samsung I can't wait to buy these for my birthday in Oct this will be my 3rd pair of earbuds from Samsung i have the plus & the pros 👌🏾 alot of ppl say these are the best than the regular pros so I just wait to see it 4 myself
100% agree! Just received mine yesterday and as soon as I put them in I noticed the absolutely fantastic fit and sound. They're so good that I'm actually picking up another pair in different color!
I traded my Galaxy Buds+ which I loved for these. Best decision, I love these, great improvements and got more than half for the trade in from Samsung.
Huge upgrade over the Buds+ in everything but battery life. The fit is really comfortable and has zero discomfort even after 3-4 hours of usage. I can lay on either side of my head as the Buds 2 Pro are small and flush enough compared to the Buds+ and have stayed in my ears when I've fallen asleep with them in bed. The voice detect feature has got to be one of my favorites though, there is no more fumbling to turn on ambient mode when someone talks to me.
@@lenacheney Yep, I've been really enjoying the Buds2 Pro and find them as a worthwhile upgrade in all aspects aside from battery life. Comfort and sound quality are my biggest requirements, so it has been great for me. I also appreciate having the ANC feature as an option even if it's not as good as other earbuds since the pluses didn't have that at all.
@@muhammadzahidnaeem3953 No, you won't get access to all the software features unless you have a Samsung phone. Samsung phones also have their own audio codec so these buds won't sound as good on other Android phones. That said, if you have access to a Samsung phone/tablet, you can adjust all these settings there before pairing it with your non-Samsung phone. I've used these Buds2 Pro with my Windows PC and LG OLED TV and sound quality is almost the same (ANC ON + Dynamic EQ is retained). 360 audio is kind of a gimmick and not something I use at all, but the voice detect feature works really well.
the BUDS 2 PRO are what I think are the perfect wireless buds . Very good bass Mids highs with Samsungs SSC codec , they don't move once I put them in , they are Ultra low profile , the ANC is really good as is the Transparency , The app is really good , I Have No Problem Sleeping In Them . I Wish The Buds 2 Pro Had The 11 Hour Battery Life Of Galaxy Buds Plus .
It's all about comfort for me.. Buds pro 2 are way more comfortable than the buds pro.. Couldn't wait to trade in my buds pro for these. My buds I take to work are the buds live and my go to bud's for any other activity are the buds 2 pro. 2 of the most comfortable buds Samsung has available
There actually is a way to check the audio transmission quality, once connected, under development settings - Bluetooth - Audio Bits per Sample. It will say 24 bit when connected to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro!
I got my buds2 pro yesterday with my Z-Fold 4. I have not used any of the previous buds, I only have the Sony WH1000XM5 to compare with. Soundwise, these buds surprised me more than I thought. Activating the 360 sound made pretty much everything I listened to feel really immersive. I tried the head detection and it works, but I turned it off as for listening to music I didn't consider it ideal. After listening with 360 turned on for a while, once I turned it off the sound quality felt quite flat; but it also depends on the music I was listening, although it does improve also in how loud I hear, especially vocals. I believe it is giving me Hi-Res, I listened to the same song in MP3 and FLAC and the difference was there. From CD quality to Hi-Res the difference is almost imperceptible. I have to say, though, even MP3s sounded wide and clean with 360 turned on, it was just not as clear as uncompressed audio. Compared to the XM5 I believe the buds sound better, but don't get as loud. Noice cancelling is a win for the XM5, but that might just be because I am comparing buds vs cans. The buds sound awesome to the point I considering sending back the XM5s (I got them a little while ago), but I am going to keep it because the 30 hours of battery feel endless and the buds do not stream at 24-bit from my PC where my XM5s do when wired with a portable DAC and then they sound completely different, a lot better. Definitely awesome buds for Samsung Smartphone owners especially.
Hey , I'm considering upgrading from the buds pro and wanted to know if the buds are secure , would u use them for excercise? Also which colour would u recommend between black and white?
@@adityajahagirdar397 I got them in black and looks very stylish. They have a matte finish, so I'd think white would look as good. About secure fit, yes they are. I don't know if in other Android smartphones you'll get this, but in the wearable app under the settings there is an option to test if you are getting a good fit. The buds have sensors and the app will tell you if the fit is poor, then either you adjust them or change the tip. They were a good fit for me out of the box, went out with the dogs for about half an hour, noise canceling was so good I could only listen to my music and voice detection worked accurately when I talked to give the puppies commands. I run a little bit and they stayed in place, I haven't done intense workout, but I feel they won't fall. After about an hour I felt like the left bud was going loose, but it was just me not used to wearing buds, it was as tight in place as it was before I left for my walk. There is an option in the settings to allow to increase the volume when tapping and holding on the right bud and doing the same on the left decreases the volume, which I found super handy. I have heard some people saying you cannot adjust the volume directly on the buds2 pro, but yes, I found it.
Thank you for the exccellent review. I have upgrade, not only for the better all around sound features, but has you have said the comfort and fit of the buds which are far superior to anything that preceded it.
I've never had any of the previous Samsung earbuds so I can't compare to those. However, I just received my Buds 2 Pro along with the Z Fold 4 and I must say, these sound better than the Sony XM4 and Bose QuietComfort earbuds as well. So I've always been a Bose guy and only got rid of them because the controls suck and the app was not good at all. Sound was good though. I got the Sony XM4s last month and I thought the sound quality was comparable to Bose but the volume just wasn't as loud. However, the controls, customization and the app just made the listening experience so much better. My only knock with the XM4 is that it was not comfortable at all for me. No matter what size tips I used, it was difficult for the earbuds to go in my ear. And the biggest problem was that it would make my ears itch like crazy. It was so bad that I had to get the crystal tips that was recommended on this channel. Drastically reduced the itch but still the actual buds made my ears itch a little too. Couldn't keep them on for too long. However, with these Samsung earbuds, the sound quality is much better, fit is much better although I don't know if they are very secure yet. And the controls are basically similar to the XM4. The app is also pretty good even though I'd give a slight edge to the Sony app. Oh and these headphones are much louder than the XM4, and just as loud as the Bose Quiet Comforts but the sound doesn't get distorted like the Bose. I love these so far.
Hi , I'm considering upgrading from the buds pros , just wanted to know if the buds have wings? Also which colour would u recommend between the white and black ones?
@@adityajahagirdar397 go black. The white will have yellow stains unless you constant cleaning them every time you use them. White are more exposed, more ppl will see, black will be more camo'd, not much ppl will notice
@@adityajahagirdar397 the 2 pro's have built-in wing tips as you can see in the video. They are also smaller on the ear so that should make it better for the fit. For the color if you want to stand out more choose the white ones, if you want less noticeable ones choose the black.
@@sherrimoquin5553 I did like the look of the yellow ones and at the time I did have the yellow s10e.. but I was up for renewal so I went with black as black goes with everything..
Because I've tested many buds? Not for a review purposes but for me, and mostly to find one that would not fall out of at least one if not both ears while eating, smiling, or chewing, I decided to leave a comment for someone going through these same issues. Everyone's ears differ. It's not always tip size options that help. I've been through Samsung Live buds, Beats Pro Studio buds, the newest Sony linkbuds s, and now galaxy buds2 pro. The Sonys did fairly well staying in so it was a tough choice. Sony was not nearly as robotic sounding when in ambient mode and I'm jearing myself talking as do the Buds 2 Pro do. People don't sound robotic, just yourself. But, the Buds2 Pro has a good sound and they stay in my ears slightly better with slightly less bulk than Sony. Neither are really bulky but Samsung is slightly smaller. Sounds of all aforementioned buds were really good. Dre's Beats Studio buds had really clean sound. Noise cancelling probably works better for someone that gets a tighter fit with any buds, and to be honest it can cause a slight nausea feeling to some people if turned on. When I had the Buds Live (beans, and forget noise cancelling with these) I shopped Amazon and found better tip options, still, I just was not there where I wanted to be with proper fit. I have now settled for the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. So far so good, and they're staying in place with medium or small included tips. They're really light and sound good, including the voice calls.
I have used Galaxy BudsPro (1st gen) for over 2 years and now swiched to Buds 2 Pro. The buds still drop out of my ears as frequently, not comfortable again, connectivity range to my S23Ultra has decreaced by factor 2x (barely connects at >5-7m, when Buds Pro stayed connected sometimes at 30m), Battery still sucks, touch control is too sensitive and activates by jaw movement even when eating, ANC is very good, but it used to be very good in Buds Pro (until some drop or Wearable update tweaked it to be 5x less than when purchased). Mic is very good. The only reason to buy Buds 2 Pro is a leap in sound quality vs Buds Pro. They sound very VERY good, especially on Galaxy setup. The sound is dynamic, deep, detailed with great separation and stage, as well as refined. I guess that is due to 2 drivers. No more need to be jealous for Sony Xm sound.
I had the original Galaxy buds and I loved them especially with those little silicone rings that made them never come out of my ears. Then I got the galaxy buds pro and the glossy finish made them constantly slip out of my ear. I'm planning to buy the buds 2 pro and I hope the matt finish will help it stay in my ears better because the original pro was disappointing after the original Galaxy buds.
Omg I had the exact same issue with the fits! I loved those rings on the buds and buds +, but the pro's literally won't stay in properly. Which is a shame, as I love everything else about them.
I Actually Think The Buds 2 Pro Sound Good With Good Bass For A Change . The SSC CODEC Is What My ZFold3 Automatically Went To And I Do Think It Sounded Good On TIDAL And Sounded Way Better Than Airpods Pro 2 Especially In The Bass Department .
I blast music with my buds + all day at work, without the battery life it's basically preventing me from just getting another set of the +. Also work in a generally loud environment.
Don't. I've owned literally every TWB since the original IconX first gen, currently daily the Buds2 and only do so because the two boxes of Buds+ I have In a drawer unopened are only waiting for when I inevitably lose a bud or the case as I have multiple times but with the Buds2 (use one pair for work computer and another for my phones as I got one for free and another for $60), but I bought two pairs of Buds+ when Samsung clearenced them for $50 because they are hands down the best for sound, fit, and battery (mics suck on them all so moot). Have had both Pros, Live, Buds 1&2, both gen IconX, and can whole-heartedly say Buds+ ftw
Really like the way David Carnoy reviews tech product. You’re the only one to cover 24 bit codec properly. Looking forward to more reviews from him in the future.
For me the fit is the biggest issue. I ordered new buds2 pro because of this. Buds pros were coming out of my ears once I m running and I was having volume issues because of the filters inside. I m hoping to sort out these problems at least.
The autoswitching was pretty reliable with calls and basic apps. I'm always having trouble with zoom audios not coming through earphones. Not sure if it's android/samsung/zoom. I've tried with Sony headphones too, so it's probably not because of the buds.
When the Samsung buds were on the bush it looked like Cookie Monster. That being said, I’m glad they are lavender. Maybe they’ll be easier to locate in a dark room when you’re packing your bag to go to work.
10:10 Yes, it's worth the upgrade. I had the OG Buds Pro and the fit was simply terrible. Buds2 Pro design is much better and this makes a lot of difference, specially at sound quality and ANC.
This is the video that made me buy Buds2 Pro. I was comparing this to the Bose QC2 earbuds, which I have tried and current returning. 2 deal breakers with the Bose for the price point they are asking for: 1 is that there is no wireless charging. It feels outdated with out them. I have arthritis in all my finger joints so all my bedside desk and office desks have wireless charging pads. Wireless charging is becoming standard and makes it easy to charge. 2 is the mic. Worst mic ever heard and used. I should have trusted many mic samples out there. Buds2 Pro you have demonstrated was very impressive for the mic. I have a Samsung anyways, so all features will be there. Also a lot cheaper than the $250 Bose QC2 earbuds with crappy mic and no wireless charging.
I was a bud pro user, but the fit was my problem. So I downgraded to the buds 2. I will upgrade to the buds 2 pros since it has the pro features and is smaller than the previous pro buds. Thanks 🙏
I just got these for free after ordering a S23 ultra from the Samsung shop. BTW love your style like a white man in NYC testing out new tech really a late 80's early 90's vibe. ❤
You are really wrong about the customization. The only thing that they can't do is bring up the Google assistant. Otherwise I have play/pause, skip, go back, volume up and down, spotify, and sound modes all programmed between the two buds.
I have a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra, I just ordered these from Verizon for $115 with purchase of a Samsung flip 4 (financed). At this price and paired with a new Samsung device I believe they are definitely worth it. I wouldn't pay $230 for these I believe Sony has better options @ this price point. Thank-you for the informative video helped me make a decision on my purchase!
I use a Samsung Fold 4 and Amazon HD music. I have the Sony WF-1000XM4, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2, the Jabra Elite 75t and now the Samsung Buds2 Pro. The Buds2 Pro are the first earbuds I have owned that don't need to be repeatedly pushed back into my ears when working out. The ANC is very good and the sound is balanced. The Sony is very slightly better in terms of audio quality but only when the earbuds fit and, for me, the Buds2 Pro fit perfectly resulting in more consistent audio quality. I don't understand why Sony and Samsung earbuds don't have true multipoint connect like the Jabra.
@@Roshan3L The ANC experience is very comparable. I have noticed when I am riding in the car with the top down the Buds2 Pros cancel wind noise better.
Hey.. are you sure about the Smartthjngs Find information you gave here? Samsung says BOTH the buds and the case can be tracked in real time by virtue of beeping sounds.
Easily the best true wireless I've tested (tried probably 20 pairs by now) except for a few things worse than the Buds+: battery life, ambient sound, and secure fit (due to the Buds+ having the wing tip and these lacking them). Otherwise, these are the 🐐
Had the battery life been the same as the Galaxy Buds+ or better, I would have upgraded this year. I will wait to see what Samsung has in store the following year.
This isn't the second version of the galaxy buds pro. Its the pro version of the galaxy buds 2 But I like this review. Covers a lot of things others don't.
I just got mine and I’m loving them. It’s a shame that they won’t pair with the apple tab I was gifted. I always watch your reviews because of the details you give. Gracias, Dios lo bendiga.
I'm currently using the Galaxy Buds 2, which I recently purchased, so I probably won't be getting the Pro even though the Pro has better water resistance. I don't care about the better sound quality because I use circumaural cans (Sony XM4) when I want better sound quality. As for the multi-device, it's convenient enough to make me prefer Samsung buds, but it's still pretty clumsy if, say, you want them connected to more than one device at the same time.
Now, I know this is subjective, but I have a difficult time wearing ear buds. The Buds 2 are the most comfortable ear buds I've ever owned, so I stayed away from the Buds Pro. With the Buds 2 Pro being smaller/lighter, I may opt to purchase these.
My quick comparison of the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 vs Pixel Buds Pro: Galaxy Pro 2 pros over Pixels: 1. They seem to fit ear better, easier to get a good seal 2. They have an EQ that sounds great. Pixels don't have that...yet 3. Auto volume lower option when you start talking so you don't have to pause when you start talking to someone 4. Noise cancellation seems better 5. 360, directional audio. Another feature Pixels *might* get in the future. Pixel Bud Pro pros over Galaxy Pro 2: 1. Google assistant is seamlessly integrated, regardless of phone brand. Just say "hey Google" like you would with any Google/Android device and you get answers right in your ear. Samsung has Bixby 🙄 2. Pixels have true multipoint connections, meaning any other BT connection (computer, tablet) will seamlessly switch the audio between devices. Galaxy buds only do that with other Samsung devices that are logged in with Samsung account. 3. Pixels have swipe controls for volume. Galaxy buds require that you assign the volume functions to taps, which then you lose other functions. 4. Pixels have longer advertised battery life, though I am still testing that. In summary, this is a tough call. The Galaxy buds sound a tad better IMO, but that could change when the Pixels get EQ settings thru firmware. I love certain feature options with both. I love the multipoint switching with the Pixels while at work going back and forth between my computer and phone, and the swipe volume is so intuitively easy to use. But The Galaxy's seal better and the auto volume lowering when I talk is so convenient. Truth is, I wish these ear buds could have a baby and have all the feature sets in one device. I'm torn.
The auto switch isn't that great. I have a TV and still have to hit a button to confirm the connection when switching between the two. Kind of defeats the purpose of it.
You can call them what ever you want but it doesn't make you right.. they are called the galaxy buds2 pro because they are the 2nd version of buds2 with all the pro features, hints why they are smaller and have the exact same physical styling..
I can't see any review on any buds mentioning the combo with Dolby Atmos and the possibility to tweak the EQ over there on Samsung devices. IMO, this might make a big diffrence on sound quality. I currently use the Buds 2 and I'm eager to start using the Buds2 Pro + Dolby Atmos on my Galaxy.
I have the Samsung buds pro and the 3d audio is buggy and doesn’t work. The only thing great is the audio, anc, and battery life which is quite basic in terms of the latest headphones. So it doesn’t really exceed my expectations
Just bought a new phone (Galaxy S23+) and added these for $66.00. These are my first set of ear buds. My ears are quite sensitive and I usually fair better with my Sony full cup headphones. So far these are tolerable. I even wore them to bed on the first night. My biggest surprise was Friday morning at breakfast. The restaurant was very busy and noisy. Had my streaming volume up quite a bit but the noise was still distracting. The buds were on ambient so I switched to noise canceling and was startled. It truly shut out most of the noise around me. Fantastic! Now to try them at work. 😉 Thanks, enjoyed this video. Especially your voice, slower speaking and information given. Much appreciated.
I have had a JBL Reflect flow Pro, but its done. The battery is dead, and I dont trust again in that. I am planning to buy an in-earphone. Looking for Galaxy Buds2 PRO, but I am curious is there any other product which could be better in the same price range? Like ( huawei free buds pro; Xiaomi redmi buds 4 PRO; Galaxy buds 2 etc... ) It will be used with a samsung S23 phone and a galaxy watch 6 classic. Could you please write down your toughts? Music listening is the main aspect, speaking on it is not important. Thank you in advance for your comments.
I am having one issue with this earbud. Recently I bought one and when I use it my right side ear is okay but I tend to get pain on the left ear after wearing even less than half an hour. I wonder if my ear will be adapting to it and I will have no pain in the future.
These are the PRO version of the BUDS2.. that s why they are called as such.. Samsung is sort of changing the naming convention.. their next version will be the Buds3 then followed by the Buds3 Pro.. the odd named buds are in effect the Buds plus.. what remains to be seen is whether a previous version's Pro edition will be more premium than the next non-Pro ediion.. same as the Buds Pro being more premium than the Buds2...
Saw the leaked pictures for the QuietComfort II's - and the design is odd/ugly but hey hopefully they improve on the QuietComfort. Going to check them out when they release.
