![Galaxy Buds2 PRO vs AirPods Pro 2 [Honest Comparison & Testing!]](/img/n.gif)
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.
Mine, left earbud only last 2 hours and the right 6.
i left mine in my pocket 2 days ago and were washed, sadly they dont function anymore, gonna buy these 2 pro now, rip buds +
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.
@@X-Cursion omg same thing happened to me. I got these too
@@johntybagend I'll bet your earpieces are gummed up? Try carefully cleaning them.
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. 👏
Even though I’m not in the market for new headphones most of the time, I always watch Carnoy’s reviews. I appreciate his attention to detail!
Same.
For sure…
Thanks for the support!
Thanks for sharing.
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
Buds 2 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 using them on iPhone?
@@RamonMcNally no i used them on a galaxy a52
@@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
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!
C hj H hi jy y te y tyuy
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.
did you set Hi-Res output in Poweramp to 96khz/24bit or 48khz/16bit because unfortunately 48khz/24bit doesn't work on my Galaxy/Android...
the Buds 2 (non-pro) could also play 96khz/24bit
Does poweramp work as a general EQ or is it a music player in itself?
@@UltimateGamer598 Music app, but they also have a separate eq app
@@bannanateam Right on I'm getting my Buds2 Pro this weekend so I wanna utilize the 24bit.
Got mine yesterday and they're damn good ! Coming from the galaxy buds +, these are way more comfortable, sound much better and are way louder.
I also have galaxy buds +. Was wondering if these were significantly better? Looks like they might be...
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
Was looking for another buds plus user. Thanks for the mini review, will get them as well.
Ehahaha, i am a buds plus user 2, and does it really fit better?
@@privxete4089 they fit way better and sound way better. The sound quality is insanely good.
Loving the shirt and buds colour coordination 👍
I love it too!!! 😁📱👔❤️
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.
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.
What type of phone are you using?
@@khimaniz z fold 3. I am gonna switch over to the zf4 today though, so maybe I'll see something different in the dev settings.
@@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
Lounder than the buds pro?
@@razkrat8803 yes, definitely
David should do more video reviews. Really excellent- great demeanor and tone. Excellent info
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.
I have the buds+ and buds2. Which ones do these compare to fit wise?
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
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.
You find them more comfortable than the pluses? I currently wear the pluses
@@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.
Do these buds work with all other android phones like 360 audio and other features?
@@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.
How is the 360 sound for movies?
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
these buds 2 pros are amazing no exaggeration, the sound quality and volume connected with the s22 ultra is amazing 🙌🏽
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!
Really? U guys are making me change my decision to get the momentum 3 for these. J have an s22 ultra
I just ordered mine to go with my s22 ultra. I can't wait to get these buds
How's the connectivity??? Does sound get cut in between of playing videos??
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.
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 .
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.
@@geekatari4391 thanks man really appreciate it , will get them in the next few days , can't wait!!!
6:33 you can check bit rate on developer mode and going all the way down to Bluetooth settings.
They are amazing!
The noise cancelling is outstanding
How's the battery performing?
How many hours you get on the full charged buds out of case on one go both ANC on/off?
I am thinking about getting them which is the best ear tip to use for blocking out noise with the anc
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!
Auto switching works well with my Tab S8 and was pretty seamless.
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 like how you show us real life walking around with them in your ears. That means a lot.
Great review!
I returned the buds 2 twice . The sound was underwhelming . Buds 2 Pro are excellent.
I love seeing reviews on these new buds
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
Agree sony sounds quiet even the true wireless one second gen. I got it and returned it.
Waiting for the bud2 pro. Have buds pro currently
@@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.
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 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.
I thought I was the only one having that problem when they would slip out
most slipping out problems are due to improper putting it on. Samsung released a video telling people how to wear it
@@spike378 they did stay in my ears for a couple of minutes and started slowly slipping and I had to constantly push them back
@@ARBUZIK.dudkin you had to go up a size. My problem was that the silicon ear tip was too soft and it will come off and stuck in my ear canal
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 am still using the original Galaxy Buds, I have had them for 5 years, and it still work fine, but I want to upgrade.
Glad to see your review again, David. It’s been a while. great review
I wasn't necessarily in the market for new ear buds, but these grabbed my attention. Thanks for the review.
I'm still rocking my Galaxy Buds + and they are fantastic..
What color is your buds plus?
@@sherrimoquin5553 Black
@@PrideOfAries cool and mine are red
@@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..
@@PrideOfAries yeah that's true about what you said with the black color and I didn't even know that the buds plus came in yellow
yes I own the buds pro and I am upgrading to buds2 pro
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.
Lets face it ... the problem is you.
these are the best fitting earbuds yet
Thanks for the review, thinking about graduating from my buds + to these.
I fricking love these headphones they're the best in ear headphones I've owned and that bass from them when listening to R&B is the best
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.
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.
Is the fit better?
Is the fit better??? I have the buds pro and it keeps falling off
@@shankhan547 it is. I went to a seller and tried them on. The fit is amazing. Going to get it tomorrow
@@shankhan547 I had the buds pro too. The fit on them was terrible. They were too big and hurt my ears after 1 hour. Also they became lose when I ran
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 .
Amazon Music player will show Audio Codec information from source>phone>headphones and I can confirm it shows 24-bit with Buds 2 Pro :)
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.
I find it funny how Samsung gets hammered for only working with Samsung devices while apple only does this and constantly ranks high
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.
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 have the buds 2. Are the buds pro 2 as comfortable and heavier/lighter?
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.
how is the ANC of the buds pro 2 vs xm4?
@@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.
I think buds 2 pro cancel voice better too
I have the xm4 should I switch to these you think ?
@@21backwards78 only if you have Samsung smartphone.
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 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!
Hi . Thanks for the test. How are you sure the codec used is the Samsung Seamless?
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.
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.
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.
Hey David,
Please make a review video on OPPO ENCO X2 earbuds.
Huawei freebuds pro 2 Amazing audio quality
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.
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.
I love my galaxy buds pro but want the buds pro 2 because of fit and matte plastic
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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
David rocking the purple shirt to accesorize with the Bora Purple Buds2 Pro. Gotta coordinate lol. 👌🏾
Ambient sound can be adjusted in the accessibility setting.
i have the buds pro and it took me a long time till i found the right ear tips so that they are now comfy, but i always have to push them back in and make adjustments, they have fallen out on several occasions, i only care about fit and transparent mode, so i'm wondering if anyone out here can address those two
Excellent review. After activating lossless 24 bit audio however, I disagree with you in regards to bit noticing a difference
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.
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 🐐
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
I have 2 pairs of galaxy buds pro because i got them with new phone pre orders and yeah they do fit like crap they are too bulky not allowing it to fit flush in your ear and it falls off slowly i also used some tips from skull candy wich made it a lot better but they sound great so i kept using them i also just got this one in the mail today with a fold 4 pre order so hopefully they fit better than the first gen
How is the sound quality of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro compared to the Sony WH 1000XM4? Which one is better?
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.
Just pop them in the case every so often, you really need to go more than 5 hours non stop?
I am coming off the original Galaxy Buds, So I hope there is definitely a huge difference with an S22 Ultra (used my Original Buds on this device)
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.
If they don't pair, that's on Apple for intentionally making sure they don't. 🤷🏾♂️
They will pair with Apple devices for audio listening and calls. You just don’t get some of their extra features.
Can you forward and back tracks and adjust valume from the buds, or do you need your phone to do it?
Tbh wearing them for long time they seem to fall out with the tip being like moisty and seem to fall out too when i smile to much or talk to much
Matched your shirt perfectly
I wish they have improved on battery than other features . 5 hours with anc thats too expensive earbuds sorry
What about using these with a 2022 Samsung S95B OLED Smart Television? I prefer the color black and I will purchase a pair tomorrow at the Best Buy here in New York City where I live.
Why would you purchase wireless earbuds for a TV instead of just getting a soundbar or an audio-setup or just using the TV's in-built speakers or if you want privacy then get headphones?
@@thundurr Because I live in an apartment, not a house. Having a sound bar watching movies will be disturbing to my neighbors in the Condo building I live in New York City.
Hi for a pixel 6 pro which is better the Galaxy buds 2 pro or Pixel buds pro for ANC?
My friends complained about my mic being muffled on my phone but that's how it is
If you guys are wondering where to find if your buds are streaming at 24 bit go to developer options.
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.
Buds2 over Pro2 for me. Buds+ had absolutely the best fit and battery, though.
I went from the buds+ to the pros but for some reason I’m allergic to the plastic that the pros are made of so I guess most important thing I want to know is are these made of the same type of material?
Hi, i have a question. I use apple airpods pro 2 and i have the whole ecosystem of apple including watch. But i also want to get a aamsung ecosystem. So my question is, is the samsung galaxy buds2 pro's anc is good as airpods pro 2? Thanks.
I had my Airpods 2nd gen for a long time! Should I upgrade to these? I also switched from iPhone to Samsung! :)
Hi..just wanna ask if this galaxy buds2 pro had no problem in pairing to a digital audio player like hiby r3 pro?pls reply..thanks
I have the Buds 2, and the right earbud has a hissing sound in the background as its playing music now. They're not even a year old. I got the JBL Vibe TWS for a Christmas present, and now the left earbud has gone down in sound quality. I am a Samsung owner, and I'm thinking about getting the Apple Airpods Pro 2. I have an older iPhone 7 Plus.
Can I use these with both the new s23 Ultra phone and new book3 pro 360 laptop I am planning to buy? And can I do so without being logged into my samsung account? I don't want to always be logging into that account. And I don't care all that much about seemlessly switching using them between the phone and laptop, i just want to be able to use them with both. One of the reasons I'm getting the s23 ultra is being able to charge my earbuds by placing them on the phone, but if I cannot use the ear buds on both the phone and the laptop, then that advantage is much less appealing. Other input? Thanks. And very useful review. Thanks for that too.
I am going to give these a shot, upgrading from the beans.
Just upgraded...this one doesn't hurt my ears
Can I charge these with any power bank or samsung 25 watt charger, will it impact battery life
Listening at my buds 2 pro! Nice!
I am not upgrading to the buds 2 pro. I currently have the buds 2 and I am still dealing with some bugs as well the watch 4. Until Samsung starts making there software a little bit more consisent then maybe.
Do these buds work with my pixel phone with all features like work on Galaxy devices.?
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.
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...
If you need something to tell you if you’re getting 24 bit audio or not, does it matter if you are?
He did say he could tell a difference especially between Android and iOS, which should point to the higher bit rate. You can see what codec you're using in developer options, which also tells you the bit rate
So I own the galaxy buds + and the buds 2 and usually wear my pluses because they fit better. I can get the buds2 pro for 130 with the order of my watch. Do the buds 2 pro fit better than the buds2 or bud+? I have tiny ears
