The Galaxy Buds2 Pro embody Samsung excellence in the premium true wireless earbud segment. With their 24-bit audio support, enhanced ANC, and ultra-light design, they directly target the AirPods Pro 2 and Sony WF-1000XM5, while offering exclusive advantages to Galaxy smartphone users.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro excel through their remarkable comfort. At just 5.5 grams per earbud, they literally disappear in your ears, even after several hours of use. The matte finish prevents fingerprints and provides secure grip. The separate ear tip and stability fin system allows precise adjustment: the fit test in the Galaxy Wearable app effectively guides toward the optimal combination. The ANC impresses for earbuds of this size. Samsung announces 40% additional noise reduction compared to Buds Pro, and testing confirms it: in the Paris metro, ambient conversations become a discreet murmur. However, ANC remains slightly behind AirPods Pro 2 or Bose QC Earbuds II in pure isolation. The real technical star is the 24-bit audio via Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC). On a Galaxy S23 or newer with Tidal HiFi music, the difference in richness and detail is noticeable. The coaxial 2-way speaker (dedicated tweeter + woofer) offers clean instrumental separation. The sound leans toward a slightly V-shaped profile: present bass and emphasized treble, with slightly recessed mids. Rock or metal fans will appreciate the liveliness, while purists may find the treble sometimes aggressive. The 5-band EQ allows adjustments but lacks granularity for perfectionists. Battery life reaches 5 hours with ANC (consistent with specifications) and climbs to 8 hours without ANC, an excellent score. The compact case adds 18 hours (ANC on) for a total of 23 hours. IPX7 certification even allows accidental immersion.
