While non-Galaxy device owners can’t take advantage of their Galaxy-exclusive features (that’s a bummer), the second-generation Galaxy Buds 2 Pro not only feature improved sound and noise canceling but an improved design that makes them a better fit for more ears — including mine.

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.
i have both airpod pro and buds pro 2… and tbh, i prefer airpod pro more.. as someone with sensetive ears, airpod fit more in my ear than buds pro 2… 30 mins after using buds, my ear felt irritated.. cant say the same about airpod pro..
shoulda gone with galaxy watch instead this pro.. 🙃🙃🙃
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. 👏
The matching colour shirt though!
Not sure it's my buds, but with 2 3 time usage of buds2 pro the net on rubber tip started to come off. That's pathetic.
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.
Huawei freebuds pro 2 Amazing audio quality
Ambient sound can be adjusted in the accessibility setting.
My friends complained about my mic being muffled on my phone but that's how it is
I love my galaxy buds pro but want the buds pro 2 because of fit and matte plastic
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.
Thank you for this video.
Is the fit as good as the Buds Plus?
The originals fit sucked
I think something might be wrong with my ears as far as size goes because the hole in my ear never really fits good with these even with the little rubber attachments to make them smaller all it does is hurt my ear hole is just too small I have to force them in
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.
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.
I'm loving it
I got the buds pro and a full charge didn't last my entire bike ride so I returned them and got my money back
Hi
I want to ask if the new versions are also as allergic as the previous ones
because many people complained that they had ear infections after wearing them
I had an ear infection after wearing Samsung Buds Pro
I never had problems with previous headphones before this
does anyone have such experience
S samsung buds2 pro
These buds also get WAY louder than the previous version.
They are called the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro because they are the pro version/next iteration of the Galaxy Buds 2; they are NOT the next generation of the Galaxy Buds Pro.
No multi-point is a real dealbreaker for me
I always trust David Carnoy's reviews. Soooo informative. I may not switch to these from the Pro but I may. Who knows? 😂
battery life is meh
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.
Obviously the Apple AirPods are better, better.
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.
Are they edible? Asking for a friend 🤔
I hope it solved with the allergy problems that the Buds Pro gave. Maybe they changed the materials.
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 have recently bought Samsung Galaxy buds Pro. Unfortunately it doesn't remain in my ears. Very often it slips out of my ears hence I can't use it outdoors. I have made complaint for replacement or any other earphones with clips. It is really worst experience I have ever had. It is not the issue of performance but if it doesn't remain in your ears and falls off very often then what is the use of it. Company must realise that complaint is not about its performance hence they must attend the complaint to satisfy it's customer.
I have buds+ and buds+2 (newer edition), I just wish they had the memory foam ear in on these as the quality of one's I find online with the marshmellow effect to replace what is provided is less and less decent as time goes on for some reason. I will admit I used them all the time pre pandemic but for some reason even while out and about I never remember to grab them. When I realize i need headphones for a train ride or something I am often pressed for time and end up using my usb c in ear buds haha. Imagine if there were removeable battery cells you could keep spares of of instead of having to wait x amt of time to get y amount time out of them. My Buds+ were so far the best wireless one's I could find vs like bosse, beats (bought bc 84% off else pass) and a couple one's that were recommended as best value for lower cost. LIkely will not go out of my way to buy like I did the buds plus ie paid over retail to immediatly get them because my other wireless headphones sucked for teh gym or commuting and it blew my mind. two sets of buds is better than 1 imo but I already have x2 sets so passing for now.
No, I wouldn't buy it.
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…
5 hrs? That's a deal breaker for me
People who have got the buds2 pro, how their fit? Are they well secured?
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.
I can't use active noise cancelling in one ear. Deal breaker for me. I can only have in one at a time at my job and an earplug in the other. Going back to my buds+
ANC on Samsung isn’t as expected. Sony is number 1 and works flawlessly
Got these today and one earbud doesn't even work. Great quality control Samsung.
I wish they have improved on battery than other features . 5 hours with anc thats too expensive earbuds sorry
Excellent review 🤌✨
