ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
Samsung is a company that makes so many products, sometimes they undermine their own designs. The S20FE was a great example. Now these are meant to be the sequel to the Buds Pro, but honestly, they might be a better alternative! Fantastic battery life, extreme comfort, great sound, great price, and a fantastic design

When is the Watch 4 review
I pre-ordered and received green ones today, but came to YT to see what the reviews have been.♡
Good overall review but I think Mike glosses over the IPX rating. IPX2 really is a fatal flaw for anyone who seriously exercises. IPX2 won't survive more than 6 mo's for serious runners who run daily, RAIN or sunshine. We typically put in 40+ miles per week so weather cannot be a limiting factor. And for gym rats & runners who sweat a ton, let's face it, our earbuds get REALLY REALLY gross and NEED TO BE WASHED under a sink at least once a week. IPX2 prevents this.
I honestly think Samsung KNOWS all this. They know these buds won't last a year for anyone except office warriors. This is an intentional design decision, which Samsung makes time & time again, to force customers into replacing their ear buds every 12mo's after they break. And 'water damage' isn't covered under warranty so it doesn't hurt the bottom line.
Battery life is horrible. 4 hrs completely dead.
I just got mine a few days ago and I'm really enjoying how they fit, sound, and how long they last. As an average consumer, I find myself not really caring about ANC as I've never really been bothered by ambient noise coming through way before ANC became a thing, and that when I do activate ANC on these they tend to make me feel like my head's getting squished from ear to ear. In short, I'm not comfortable with it. So if you're like me, then you'd definitely still enjoy the experience these buds will give you. Plus, with the ANC turned off, you get to enjoy a longer battery life with them.
As for the microphones, they're decent, does the job and sounds clear and understandable enough.
Hey dude, i was wondering if they fall out of ur ear when ur doing exercise, thats a huge factor for me
@@fredya2160 I know this reply comes late, but I've used these during my workout and I'm a tad disappointed. They needed pretty frequent adjustment during cardio, though to be fair I have not tried the other tips, they may do better. Though with ANC on in the gym, these are amazing for keeping everyone else out.
Get foam tips for exercise. Only way to go.
Mike knows exactly what topics to make videos on.. I recently came to know that on buds live microphones were good enough that other person on call can still hear you if you are whispering with mask on.. So I was seriously thinking to compare all samsung buds.. thanks for your review mate
Getting a pair of these after work today, can't wait!!
Always look forward to your videos
I have been waiting for the video since the Aug 11 launch event...wanted to upgrade my buds live...but I think they are doing pretty decent job, especially their design...in ear earbuds aren't my favorite anyway...on the other hand watch 4 seems great on specs sheet....will wait for your review before actually buying it..i can see it on your wrist
That video is coming soon!
Great review Mike. When can we expect your review on Galaxy Watch 4 and 4 Classic. Your reviews are best when it comes to watches.
Tomorrow :)
Thanks for the video! I have a pair coming today, and is nice to know what I've got on the way. Late to the Samsung Buds party, but needed to upgrade my in-ear buds for work. Subscribed.
Mines coming soon also
@@Brian1_10me too
Amazing review!! I really like your style bro!
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
I like that the inside prosthetic of it is flat. The buds pro has a bulky rounded portion that consistently slides out my ears after moving slightly
Been waiting for your review the most like "where Mike at?" lol. Great review!
As a TRUCK DRIVER THESE BUDS2 ARE PERFECT works great for phone calls in noisy environments. Cons are battery life and no wing tip. Pros super light great sound.. SUPRISINGLY I can walk to the back of the trailer and close or open the doors and phone connection stays on pretty long range. The Truckers Bluetooth headsets cut off don't have long range without phone being near.
The way you xplained the scenario is really cool 😊😊
An important feature you missed is the seamless connection between multiple devices. They produce audio from whichever devices you re using for e.g your PC and Phone together. Other than this Brilliant review. Cheers mate.
Seriously underrated channel. Top notch reviews. All the very best on the road to 1million and further more Mike!
dude he has 261K subscribers, it's not underrated.
Just realized now that the white buds do look like cotton buds🙃
Lil' eggs
They look like small eggs for me 🥚
Hahahaha
😂
Thats why a certain race likes to steal them
With the galaxy buds pro I was pleasantly surprised that the ANC fully cut out the planes engine noise on a flight
Maybe I'm not wearing them properly. I don't really hear a difference
I've always considered watching your reviews before buying things. And yep, I ended up buying buds2 in graphite 😊🤟
My favorite review channel honestly.
Hi Mike, your video on Galaxy Buds2 was really good, very informative and done well. I just got a set of these earbuds as a gift and they seem to be really good, as you bring out in your critique. I like the sound quality and it has a good bass. I'm not too fussy about getting them wet, they seem to suit my purpose. Thanks for the good video, there was another video before yours and it was annoying, the guy thought he was an entertainer first. Take care and take it easy.
Exactly what I was expecting great video excited for the comparison
Thanks Jack!
@@MikeOBrienMedia also how is the anc for real like out of 10 better than the pros?
Just bought one and it sounds amazing especially on samsung devices (equalizer and turning on Dolby Atmos helps a lot)
Thank you for this review. My Jabras are acting weird so I'll probably have to get a new pair of earbuds. The Nothing ones are also very interesting.
You maybe disappointed with the Nothing Ear 1. A lot of complaints about pairing issues, noise cancelling working only on one bud etc.
Get OnePlus buds pro instead of the nothing 1s
Priced similar to buds 2, but sounds better, better ANC, etc, or even, the buds pro, which on Amazon the price already went down to $150, which exactly the same as the buds 2 in the launch price, and it's better in every way
Just watched the whole vid with the new buds 2. I agree with the ANC being a bit on the poor side, but again it's not the worst. They are a huge upgrade from the original galaxy Buds which I've owned for about 2 years now and I'm really pleased. Because of the wing tip on the og buds, I couldn't wear them for more than an hour which just pissed me off. Design is perfect. I bought these for 50% off alongside the watch 4, for which I traded in my watch active 2 -$150. Totalling more than 50% off the total price. I recommend these 100% to anyone who needs an upgrade or just the latest (not the best of the best) earbuds.
Buds+ had the same wingtip and it hurts my ears wearing them, so I removed them and the fit comfortably, with occasional readjustments.
Hi, I've had them for a month now and the latent update really made huge difference, before it was average but now they have the best ANC in any earbuds (with the exception of the Airpods Pro)
@@Kurre. ehh- I love the galaxy buds 2 I really do. But they're not even top 3 in Anc unfortunately.
@@jheads5371 i disagree, if you count over ear headphones the are trash but I have nit tested any earbuds with better ANC than these with the exception of the airpods Pro. If you insist that they aren't that good, please reply with some earbuds that you think are better than the buds 2
@@Kurre. alright.
1. The airpods pro like you said.
2. Sony wf-100xm4
3.sennhesier momentum 3s.
4. Ironically the galaxy buds pro.
Again the buds 2 have perfectly reasonable anc. Plus a lot of it just depends on the type of ear you have. Like I said I love the buds 2. They're a nice upgrade compared to the Originals. But for me, they are other options with stronger Anc.
Thanks bud. Love your channel.
Got 'em, love 'em, but I think the noise-canceling feature is over-hyped; sure, it works... but not enough to get excited about it. To me, the frosting is its battery life. I have two pairs of the first-gen buds. I drained one pair while mowing, trimming, and raking the yard (volume full, of course) and have to pop the other pair in to finish the job (it's a big yard). Not with Buds2. They last the entire job, and then some. I like their fit even more, too. The originals were good, these fit and sound better.
Very informative! Love this review❤
Really, really good assessment of this product. Thanks.
Thanks!
Can you make video, comparison about all the four galaxy buds? Thank you
Looking neat Mike, just like the buds 👍
How are their compatibility with laptops? Mic and sound. My galaxy buds plus have difficulty connecting to widnows, especially on the mic, mike
Thanks for the review! I finally decided to buy the earbuds after watching your video
I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!
Literally the best reviewer that gives all the information that i need not just commercials senseless talk, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks for your kind words!
Well made video Mike.
Thanks for information 👌✌
This is by far the best review on anything I've ever seen. Good job! Very thorough.
Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate your positive feedback
just bought the Samsung galaxy flip Z 3 5g and it came with the bundle of a smart tag, buds 2! I currently have the buds+ so I'm very excited!!!!
Hi I'm deciding between the buds plus and buds 2 which one is better on your opinion?
Hey Mike!
Great video! Very detailed and informative as always! I have a galaxy s20+ phone and I've been using my AirPods Pro for the last year. I love my AirPods Pro but since I've switched to Android, I miss the auto-connect and customization.
After watching your video, I went out and bought some Buds 2. I like the way the look in my ear and I love how easy they connect. The sound quality is really good. My only con is I don't like the ambient sound compared to the AirPods Pro. The Pro's sound more real and the Galaxy buds sound more metallic or robotic? Not sure of the exact wording for it. Did you notice that?
That's my only complaint, but I'm really happy with them :)
Thanks so much for your review to help "push me over the edge" of buying them. No regrets lol.
The ambient mode on the galaxy buds sounds better for me. Anc is better too. But i get the preference. Buds Pro on the other hand, smashes the Airpods Pro
so they have both noise cancellation and ambient sound thats great. how do they compare to the buds plus?
The ANC basically, just works, in a way that, u can tell when it's on and not, but not more than it
Buds plus doesn't fall of your ears every 10 mins
The noise cancelation on galaxy buds 2 is insane
@@WobbHSVids if you said that, then the plus is better still
@@raith2012 what cha talking about? Mine don't fall out when exercising.
The sound quality drops when I'm using only one ear bud. I have a pixel 4xl. Samsung support said it might be the Google os. If I open the case lid, the sound quality returns. If I swap which side I'm using single I can get the sound quality to sort of return just a little quieter. But if I pull out the ear bud and it pauses then I hit play, the sound quality drops again. It's like a hollow muffled tinny noise, and sounds off when listening to my favorite podcasts cause the voices don't sound right.
How do these compare to the pixel buds A in terms of fit and comfort?
Right now watching this video with galaxy buds 2 (my first wireless earbuds)
Based on my unit , the galaxy buds2 Stock EQ is a little tooo High volume with High frequency sounds whiich leads to a harsh listening exp , but u can improve that by reducing a tiny bit from the 2k and above sounds to make it sound deeper , richer , and more natural
Which one is more comfortable, buds live or buds 2?
Are these louder than the buds+? My only problem with the buds+ is that it's not loud enough for me
watching this with my buds 2. absolutely awesome. deserved every penny
I think the regular buds/buds plus are the best aesthetically speaking and staying in your ears
bud plus really fit?
Is that the Galaxy Watch 4 I see you wearing :00 review when xd
I just ordered this earbuds. I can't wait to get them.
How are they holding after 2 years? I'm considering to purchase them
Great review.
Could you do a comparison with the galaxy buds plus?
Do you personally prrfer them over the plus??
Please make a comparison for buds 2 vs buds pro
Hello im going to buy earbuds bud i cant decide im goingt to buds 2 or jabra 4? What do you recommed for bass and general sound quality ?
Hey, are the Beoplay EX still the best sounding earbuds as of today?
so, basically... they would be a good value for money when I use them with my samsung galaxy 10... and though they are missing a lot of features I could still connect them and use them with my Ipad pro 11? how about connecting to a laptop? that should be possible too or not?
The ANC is not at the same level as some other competitors, but how is it compared to Buds Pro's ANC?
Good review , after using the Buds Pro for the most part since their release I must say the Buds pro sound much better to me and I love my wireless charging
This channel should have over 1 million subscribers already!
Working on it! Thanks for your kind words!
Would they be a upgrade from the buds live cause I have the buds live now and I was looking at getting these
1:16 cotton balls in my ear... 😂😂😂
I wonder if it's worth trading in the SG Buds+ to SG Buds2 for $119?
Could you compare them to the Buds+, wondering if I should trade up or not.
I read wondering the same, love my buds plus but battery life is starting to wane.
I got the buds pro brand new on Ebay for $100......did I beat the value of the buds 2?
When will the watch 4 video come out?!
Getting complaints of muffled sound on calls. What is recommended noise cancelling setting during calls.
Great video as always Mike. I was waiting to hear your thoughts on the Buds 2. Great stuff as always.
All the best :)
Greetings from Sri Lanka
I just bought one today after watching ur review and I love them
How are they after 2 years? I'm considering to purchase them
I already have and love the pros. I got these for free and they are just as good as the pros and cheaper. They work really good with my fold 3.
If I use the app to adjust the features (eq, touch control, and ambient mode) will those settings save and still be applicable if I switch to an apple device? And is the sound quality the same on both samsung and apple devices?
mostly no..
samsung buds prioritize samsung's proprietary codec (SSC)..
yes it does support (AAC) codec that a lot apple products use and (SBC) codec that other android phone use..
but it won't sounds as good as using with samsung devices...
you can check it on shortcircuit channel, when he using it on pixel, the sound quality isn't as good as using Samsung phones.
He did say that the app doesn't work on Apple, Where some of the older Galaxy buds plus and some other models will, If I understood correctly.
The buds pro international is 140$ on amazon with better water resistance longer battery but bigger buds
How much they are comfortable and fitting in ears... I have buds pro but they are not too much comfortable and fitting gets loose with even normal walking also
I,ve Got Buds2 and they cooperate with Samsung,s Phone and Samsung,s tablet very good. They fit my small ears. They are very comfprtable.
I got my Galaxy Buds2 4 days ago! Thanks for this info ! I read the Quick Start Guide...still didn't get how to fit Buds2 in my ears, I literally lost them about 4 times, they just fell out my ears 2 times and 1 fell out my ear into the sink while washing dishes! I learned a lot from your video. 👍
In Canada, the difference between de 2 and the pros is 10$ so I really don't know which one to choose.
Pros especially for that dolby atmos sound
Is it worth buying if I already have buds+?
I don't think so unless your buds plus are damaged ....
is there another app for the features? i happen to have an iphone and wish it was available for iso users
Are these released?
Waiting for your Galaxy Watch 4 Classic review before I decide if I'm going to upgrade or not.
Coming VERY soon!
Did you also spend 400$ on a watch that's kinda obsolete now?
@@PeteOnTheBeat Got it discounted at almost half the original price. I wouldn't say it's obsolete since Samsung announced that the GW3 will still have support for at least until next year. If it weren't for the WearOS integration, I wouldn't think of upgrading.
I'm confused...
- how is galaxy watch 4 obsolete?
- regarding the ondée models, Samsung said they will support it for AT LEAST 3 YEARS.
@@Kiddingyoumust I think he's talking about GW3 being obsolete, not GW4.
I bought a pair kf Galaxy buds2 last week. And Im using them with my iPhone 6 (My samsung one got broke 😅) Anyways. These are really sounds great imo. Eventho I didn’t had the app for control, I connected these to a samsung device and turned on double tap, triple tap and edge tap. They works fine with iPhone too. Mic on the other hand is bit disappointing. Not the quality I expected. But that maybe because of the iPhone. I will check more on samsung device soon
How do these compare to the studio buds? I'm considering switching cause I'm having a hard time keeping the studio buds in my ears
I just bought the Galaxy buds 2 today and they are fit really well for me, they don't fall out like the first galaxy buds did
@@CrizzeyTheMidd man you're making me inch closer to returning my studio buds and getting the Samsung buds 2!
I got mine with z Flip 3 and noise cancelling is very good
that leather jacket is kind of fire
How do you open the case with one hand
Would you say that the audio quality is significantly better or improved over the galaxy buds +? I mean can you hear any difference between the two ? I've been told the buds 2 are on par with the buds pro in terms of sound quality.
I can let you know when I get mines today 🤷♂️
Definitely worth the money. Sound was better, noise cancelation is better, more features, fits better in the ear (surprisingly), has more features, and overall better. I wouldn't say that it's worth the $150 if you currently have the buds plus, but I only paid $60 because of the black friday sale (was $109) and I also had a $50 amazon credit due to buying an oculus guest 2 (which is also worth the money). So overall a solid 8.5/10.
@@TheSasuke1202 thanks for your input !
@@ericgranstrom8513 Nvm bro 😂. Keep ya buds plus.
@@TheSasuke1202 how so, Did something disappoint?
Wait. If the buds 2 isn’t detectable in the ios wearable app. How to we know about the battery percentage on the iPhone
Can you hear the hum when there is silence in music or between tracks?
S i have..
watch 4 video will be a great hit. For the first time Android watch seems to be attractive.
Hearing this video using buds2 💪
How good are they with non Samsung phones say Huawei Mate 20x?
hey guys, i have some questions about… if i do some sething with an android phone, and then connect these with my iphone, i still have my settings? and also if the left bud when i long press it to activate the AMC will it work? please help i want to buy these
I just got these in the mail yesterday! I upgraded from my Skullcandy Indy Evo. I could go on a long rant about how better these earbuds are, but I'll keep it short. All the features that my Skullcandy Indy Evo has, Samsung does noticeably better on the Galaxy Buds 2.
my ear fit well with the skullcandy indy anc. how about the fit and ergonomic with buds 2, or buds pro? thanks
@@congthinhtruong5420 well I have big ears. As a basis the Indy Evos fit relatively well in my ears. I felt that they would be uncomfortable to wear over long periods. On the contrary, the Buds 2 are very light and comfortable over long sessions. Do note that at times, I struggle to find the right fit, but once I find it, I have no issues.
How are they holding up after 2 years? I'm considering to purchase them
@user-ig6wi1oo2g they still work the same as when I bought them. I finally had to replace the silicone ear tips for the first time 2 weeks ago. 10/10
@@just_matt3937 thats good to hear! Thanks for the answer
And if I swallow it, what do I do
Which buds fit your ear more comfortable. Buds 2 or Buds live.??
Thanks
Buds 2
Which Android phones are recommended with this, starting with the cheapest ones? And which apps?
Any android phone, but especially Samsung, bcs seamless connection available for Samsung device
Could you plz make a video and compare it with Sony WF-1000XM4 ?
The Sony will destroy them. They aren't even in the same class. One has LDAC and hi res audio with an amazing app. The other is the next version of a mid-teir earbud.
Does both the single buds work independently if used so? Is there an in-ear detection?
Yes , the earbuds work independently, so if you choose to use only one earbud it will still work but you'll need to use both in order to use the Noise-canceling feature.
I am thinking of buying samsung galaxy bud pro .is it better than galaxy buds 2 .
In my place the galaxy buds pro is cheaper than galaxy buds 2 . Which will be the best buy ?
How does it compare to OnePlus buds pro
Bought one of these on sale in April 2023 for just around $56 so all the good things on this video just amplified and the negatives became negligible.
Are you wearing the galaxy watch 4 or watch 4 classic?
Classic
