I have tried quite a few different wireless earbuds but these are easily the best ones I have owned so far. The sound is incredibly clear with a really balanced bass that does not drown out the details in the music. The 360 audio feature is actually pretty cool for watching movies because it makes everything feel much more immersive like you are in a theater. The noise cancelling is also top notch and does a great job of blocking out the hum of an airplane or background chatter at a coffee shop. I was worried the fit might be weird but they are very lightweight and stay secure in my ears even when I am moving around a lot at the gym. The IPX7 water resistance is a huge plus too since I do not have to worry about sweat or a little bit of rain ruining them. Call quality is another area where these really shine because the people I talk to say my voice sounds sharp and clear with very little background noise bleed. The bora purple color is unique and looks even better in person than it does in the photos. Connectivity with my phone was instant and the battery life has been solid enough to get me through a full day of commuting and work without a problem. Overall these are a perfect choice if you want high end audio and features in a compact package. They feel very premium and the touch controls are responsive without being overly sensitive. I am extremely happy with this purchase and think they are well worth the investment for the sound quality alone.

I upgraded to these after owning the Galaxy Buds Live, which is a very different design. I'm not an audiophile, but I am fairly experienced with mid-tier sound equipment, speakers, and headphones. I built my own 11.1 surround sound movie room using a higher end Yamaha receiver and have used Klipsch, Polk Audio, Paradigm, BIC America, Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, Bose (don't judge me, they work well in some applications), JL Audio, JBL, Mirage, and other brands of speakers through the years in home and car audio setups. For headphones, I've mainly used wired as early wireless models sounded hollow and tinny in comparison. I've used lower end AKG and Sony buds, as well as mid-tier Sennheisers. I've also used higher end Sony over-ear headphones as well as the highly rated (but lesser known) Status Audio CB-1 studio monitor headphones. I waited a while to buy into the wireless headphone market and finally took the plunge with the Buds Live as they offered something my wired headphones didn't—ambient sound. Usually this is an unwanted distraction and noise isolation is preferred, but sometimes I want to be aware of what's going on around me and be able to engage in a conversation even if I have my buds in. Apple did this well with their pass-through technology, but I'm not about to switch over to an entirely new product line and closed ecosystem just for headphones, so I waited. The Buds Live managed this trick with a low-tech solution by not sealing in the ear canal, so I gave them a try. Sound quality was decent—on par with my lower end AKG wired buds, but not as good as my mid-tier (~$100) Sennheiser buds. They also were finnicky with their connection and cut out a lot if my phone was in my pocket, especially if I bent over or squatted. BUDS 2 PRO: I upgraded to these as they also had a pass-through feature which seemed to work fairly well and did so automatically when you started talking. I figured this would be just as good and offer better sound and isolation when desired. Overall I think this feature works pretty good and is a nice compromise for me. In terms of sound quality, the Buds 2 Pro are definitely a step up from the Buds Live and probably on par with my wired mid-tier Sennheisers. I can't complain about the sound quality at all. As with the Buds Live though, the Buds 2 Pro require a bit of fidgeting to get them seated in the ear properly. Traditional ear buds, and even Apple's Airpods require little thought or adjustment beyond getting the right sized rubber or foam tips for a good seal. Samsung seems to go for more experimental designs which require learning and getting used to. After a few days use, they still aren't "natural" to put in or locked into muscle memory—I have to fuss with them a bit to get a good seal. Once in though, I haven't had any problems. Overall, I recommend these buds. They still aren't perfect as the fit isn't intuitive, battery life a little meager, and the noise cancellation is about 85-90%, not 100, but overall, solid headphones. Could you get way better sounding wired headphones for tons less money? Yes, for about $50 you can pick up a pair of Status CB-1's and hear every fine detail in high fidelity. But in the wireless in-ear category, prioritizing convenience and mobility over everything else, these perform admirably. I've heard Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless 3 buds *might* edge these out in terms of sound quality, but they look a lot more bulky (stick out more from the ear and therefore may be less stable) and don't have the automatic ambient sound pass-through feature. They also are a touch more money. On the upside though, they appear to be a more traditional bud design, so might be more straightforward to put in, but Airpods are probably still the easiest to put in and take out. But I plan on using the Buds 2 Pro for years before feeling the need to upgrade again. I'm satisfied with the purchase, though still wincing at the cost-to-performance ratio compared to wired options. Can't knock a product for performing in the top tier of its specific market though, so I'll give it 5 stars as a true wireless earbud, but would give it 4 in sound quality against cheaper wired in-ear and over-ear options.

I researched on this earbuds for a year when it came out but it was so expensive. Then this year I saw that it's on installment and discounted. It even got more affordable this month, wish I waited longer. I love this because I have the Z Fold 5, been a phablet x stylus user since Note 2! There are so many reasons to invest in this earbuds, most especially if you're a Samsung user. First, it just integrates with my phone intuitively and I can use it with my MacBook 2017 and Garmin Fenix 6s! The Wearable widget helps reconnect the earbuds back to the phone faster than fumbling with the app. I can continue listening to a song or podcast on Spotify from my phone to my laptop and back to my phone, and the sound quality and volume doesn't change. Second, the connectivity is sustained better than other wireless earbuds, whether watching a video, listening, or gaming! There's a gaming option that minimizes the lag between the sound and game action. I can leave my phone farther and still listen to music, or more important, get calls while doing tasks more than 20 feet or more away - even between 2 rooms apart. I had cheaper buds that once I close our steel-cored front door, the connection with my phone will be disrupted even if my phone is just right next to the door. Third, I love the responsiveness to equalizer adjustments! I'm not a sound engineer or audiophile but I used their reviews to narrow down my options based on the products that produce the best sound qualities on the range of frequencies I can already hear with my naked ears. We appreciate sounds differently so it depends on individual hearing but we'd agree that these pricey things respond fast! My hearing was tested, I'm also trained in classical music, and have a healthcare background, so my ears seek refined details from music or physiological sounds. I don't like too much enhanced bass and uncomfortable loudness, as those can lead to deafness. These buds can be loud and bass-proud too! Fresh from the box, these buds were on Normal settings on the Wearable equalizer. To me, I heard the lower frequencies more than the higher ones but I can still distinctly appreciate the higher registers. So I tweaked the equalizer and it responds immediately!!! That equalizer doesn't allow customization but Spotify allows it. I noticed that the Dynamic option looks like the Harman Curve, whether you're a fan of it or not, it's preset already. Although with these earbuds, I can tell if music has been rendered with Dolby, HiFi or some technology... some music do sound unnatural. I had to check the music piece I'm studying if I heard the musical dynamics right, as I might be attempting to produce that sound quality in real life. Now, the stuff I don't like... first, these were so uncomfortable at the start. I can't bear these in my ears for 30 minutes when I first got it. I had to stretch my earlobes and wear these for staggered periods of time per day. I mixed and matched between small and mid-sized tips until the buds fit test say they're ok and it does feel comfortable. It took me a week to adjust my ears and now I can wear them 4 to 6 hours straight. I almost returned these but I thought I'm used to having wired earphones and it's the sacrifice to wireless earbuds that do work. Just like others advice, do the fit test frequently until the fit feels right. Second, the charging case isn't waterproof and shockproof, so I bought the Samsung armor for it. Both the buds and case get dusty pretty quickly. I clean the tips and case with alcohol and tissue. Third, I don't like that it's protruding out of my earlobes but it is what it is. As of this writing, it's one of the smaller and lighter earbuds. I've tried working out and doing sports with these, they pop out when I clench my jaw, move my head in many directions or jump. I have to strap these so if it does pop out, it'll hang from my shoulders and not get stepped on. Oh well, enjoy yours!

For what they are, I think the device is well-engineered. The Pro 2s are high-quality earbuds. You really kind of need the Samsung app for the equalizer and the various settings you get with touch and sound, so make sure to get it. Without the app, I wouldn't really think they are the best choice. But most people will be using these with Galaxy phones. Equalizers per music player, such as VLC, are much better so be sure to use that if you have it to get the best sound. These buds are lighter compared to the previous Pro model. A huge plus. They fit perfectly in my ear almost, and they don't really seem like they will fall out even when running or working harder than normal. I will have to test them for longer lengths of time. So far so good. The packaging and contents are very simple: you get three sets of tips, though, the middle ones are default and worked great, with one smaller cord to charge the magnetic box for storage. It's a grippier, matte texture for the box too. Mine came in a simple plastic bag from Amazon. It is highly recommended you download the Wear app from Samsung. Once you have that they are very easy to set up, and you can constantly monitor whatever you need to with ease. Warranty and registration were a bit harder than I would have liked, but it's doable, not that the warranty is very long on these. You only get a year, and everybody should realize these cannot take many falls. They are very sensitive, so make sure they fit your ears! The features on these are pretty killer all told. I usually turn noise-cancellation off, as it uses too much battery, and I don't really want or need that kind of thing. Ambient sensors when talking are awesome, and the normal isolation is a good space between something like Etymotic in-ear headphones and Sennheiser open-backs. You can fiddle with settings to get your preferences for how you touch and manipulate the device. I found my preferences were quite easy to set up, and the whole thing took about ten minutes. I had no issues with sensitivity on the touch panel area of the earbuds. Works great for me. I do wish these came with a better equalizer, but the Clear setting is probably the most balanced. These are way too bassy out of the gate, and the response is definitely not flat. The Clear setting reduces the bass a bit for a more neutral and even setting with a touch of added treble. I just wish they would let us direct our own EQ options though. Seems like it would be a pretty easy addition to the software. Volume wasn't overpowering at max, but I think it did the job. Again, this is nothing like an amped pair of open-back headphones, so don't expect concert-level sound. AKG has engineered these fairly well in the product space. I'd put them up there with some decent midrange in-ear headphones like the Etymotic ER3XR. There is no way these will compete with any decent open-backs like a Sennheiser HD600 when amped, but I didn't expect that. For what they are, they do the job well, look and feel nice, and the new matte texture is vastly superior and more premium than the first Pro by a mile. All told, if you want to go the wireless earbud route, these are a top option with very few competitors when you take in the whole experience. They won't replace my normal wired headphones at all, but they might be a godsend at work when I just need to chill out and listen to some tunes without the bother of lugging my phone around and wires getting in the way. I don't recommend using these things for hours at a time. There is a serious lack of scientific knowledge on the amount of low-dose radiation over long periods of time. RF, EMR, et cetera. A lot of newer, independent science is starting to find anomalies with oxidation with lower doses and non-ionizing radiation in general. SAR data so far still uses fairly old standards, and though these are a little less powerful in specific absorption rate than a high-end phone, most wear them for WAY longer than that while directly in your ear. If you do need some quality in-ear wireless buds, these are definitely an option to consider. Their SAR data was slightly below the Airpod levels at least. All in all you can't do much better for your wireless audio needs.

I bought these for my wife. We have bought at least four different sets of earbuds, including off brand and Bose. These Samsung Galaxy Pro 2 Earbuds stand out from the others. I am not sure if it is because of them matching my Samsung Galaxy S20+ or if it is just because they were designed very well and with significant thought. But they are truly amazing. First, setup took less than thirty seconds. Nice simple easy, just the way it should be. The sound quality is equal to Bose. Within the application (Galaxy Wearable), you have an equalizer that offers six different settings. As of this moment I have not found any way to customize the equalizer. These earbuds offer 360 surround sound and head tracking, which allows the sound to focus on the direction of the device that it is coming from. Turning your head to one side makes the earbuds focus the sound a little more to the earbud. I guess that would work great if watching videos or something. For music, I really see no significance. The fit is perfect. They come with three different sizes. My wife needs the smallest and they fit perfectly for her ears. The middle size fits my ears. They are easily changed in a matter of a few seconds. Once on, you do not need to worry about the sleeves coming off easily as with many other brands. The noise cancellation is positively amazing! I have a two-year-old that has the ability to shatter glass with their voice. My ears ring when they scream, and they scream A LOT. That feature alone sold me. As soon as I tried her buds, I went back to Amazon and ordered a pair for me! I can still hear my child, but it no longer murders my ear drums, which is perfect. This nice feature actually enables me to keep my volume down to a safer level. I can't wait to test these buds against my riding mower. Then let's talk about background sound during a conversation on the phone. Every other earbud I and my wife have ever tried has been able to pick up significant background noise. These earbuds seriously focus on the voice of the wearer and not just every sound around them. You can hear their voice clearly and the background noise seems to be "further away" making conversation much easier for the other side of the call. These earbuds offer head tilt reminders. I use my computer a lot and when I am working, I do have the tendency to tilt my head forward. These earbuds detect when you keep your head tilted too long and remind you. Notifications are identified by a voice with these earbuds. This is also customizable based according to the application and you can set it to read the notifications in more detail. I know if it is a text message, e-mail or application notification, which is great. Now I don't have to look at my phone every single time to determine if the notification warrants my attention. Operation of the earbuds is pretty simple. While the volume control will certainly take me a little to adapt to, the rest is understandable. First, you can customize the earbuds response to taps and holds (holding finger to a certain earbud) so that you get the features that are most important to you. That alone is nice since no earbud I have experienced has ever allowed this. One downside is the volume control. Where all the other earbuds in the past either had buttons to raise or lower volume or the ability to slide the finger up or down on one earbud, these require both earbuds. The left lowers the volume while the right raises the volume. Answering phone calls (default) is simply double tapping the right earbud. Playing music, tapping the right or left earbud will pause the music and one tap again will resume the music. Double tapping will skip forward one track and triple tap backs it up one track. Of course, as mentioned earlier, you can change this in the application to suit your needs. Battery life is pretty impressive. They boast 29 hours of battery life. So far that seems to be true. My wife uses her earbuds all day and does not need to drop them back into the charger during her daily routine. This certainly stands out against the Bose earbuds I have used that have only about a 3-hour battery life. On top of the extended battery life compared to others, if you are using only one earbud and leaving one in the case, you can change out earbuds mid-call and not lose your call. That is a feature I have never had the privilege of enjoying with other earbud brands. The charging case is simple to use. Just drop the earbuds in. The charging port is a USB-C and they provide a cord in the package. Compatibility to other brand phones seems to be a possible problem, but honestly, I expected that. My wife has an I-phone for work and is not able to connect to it with these earbuds as of yet. The internet does claim they will connect and to my knowledge, they should since Bluetooth is pretty much Bluetooth, and the technology should be the same across all devices. Another nice feature I enjoy is earbud location detection. They will show on a map using GPS, where your earbuds are, which is nice. Also, you can make them ring out to locate them if you are at their location, but just don't see them. These location features do require having the Smart Things application, which is also available in the google play store. Overall, these earbuds are amazing, and they are competitively priced. I highly recommend these for just about anybody.

So here is an initial Day 1 review. I started with the Galaxy Buds+ and was "generally" happy. The sound quality was excellent, the volume decent, the phone calls were acceptable and the fit was comfortable and stayed in place (for about 30 minutes) My biggest problem was the "wings." They helped the buds stay in place but due to the design, they tended to rotate since they were only being aligned by a tiny plastic nub. And once the wings rotated the fit was horrible. So I eventually upgraded to the Galaxy Buds 2. These also sounded very good, better in fact than the Galaxy Buds+. The calls and audio volume were similar, so perfectly functional. But now I had noise cancelling and a brand new form factor! The noise cancelling worked great for my needs. I'm not flying all over the country, but they nicely limited the white noise of public spaces. Unfortunately the fit was even worse. The Galaxy Buds 2 were slightly oblong in comparison to the Buds+, which I believed would be the answer to the "wandering wings" and finally give me the stable fit I'd been looking for. Alas, this was not the case. The only way the buds would stay in my ear is from a friction fit of the cushions in my ear canal. Not comfortable! And if I spoke or chewed food, it was only a matter of seconds before they had worked themselves loose. In every way except fit, the Galaxy Buds 2 were a definite upgrade. Now we arrive at the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I have had them for about 5 hours and here are my initial impressions: - Getting them in the right orientation took me some time (probably because I'd been historically wearing ear buds goofy just to try to get them to stay in my ear.) - Once I had the ear buds in correctly, the fit was surprisingly comfortable and "light" feeling. At first I questioned whether they were positioned properly (the ambient noise being on also added to the idea.) When I turned off the ambient noise I realized how well the buds were fitting. - Chewing and speaking did not disrupt the fit at all! - The ANC worked as expected. - The sound was EXCELLENT in comparison to the previous Buds+ and Buds 2. I found the Buds 2 Pro to be louder, crisper and punchier than the previous earbuds. That's it for now. I'm cautiously optimistic about my purchase and I will follow up in a few weeks with more review. Moving forward I'll be focusing on how easy/hard it will be to quickly position the buds in and how much I end up "messing with them" while wearing them.

Just got these today, along with the Sony Linkbuds S. My very first bluetooth earbuds. I've mostly used Bose Quiet comfort headphones for the past decade, which I've been thrilled with, they've revolutionized my life. But as I frequently need to take reading glasses on and off, headphones can be inconvenient, and so I wanted an earbuds option. I haven't tested all the features yet, but I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the sound quality of these -- so rich and full. More than enough bass-- in fact I needed to cut it back a bit in the EQ settings (I use the 'clear' mode). Very close to headphone quality, how do they do it?? So comfortable to wear too, I can imagine having them in all day. My only complaint is that the "Wearable app" you need to get all the features demands a LOT of permissions on your android device, way more than seems necessary and that bothers me. I'll put up with it for now. I initially had some trouble pairing it to multiple devices, but after some fiddling I can switch pretty seamlessly between my galaxy phone, tablet, and Dell computer. Not sure I could write a 'how to' on it, as I seem to have stumbled on 'success' by accident, and the 'youtube' videos on this subject were NOT helpful. Comparing to the Linkbuds S: the sound quality on these is substantially better than the Linkbuds. The linkbuds go more deeply into the ear and feel more 'snug', so I might use those outdoors vs these indoors. I like the fact that via the wearable app, I can set these earbuds to control volume via 'tap and hold'. The Linkbuds don't seem to have this feature, you need to adjust the physical controls on your device to control volume. That's a little ding for the Linkbuds and a huge plus for these, as I like convenient volume adjustment of music above all else. I don't make/receive many phone calls, I mostly listen to music. So can't comment on those features. But if you mostly listen to music as I do, it's hard for me to imagine complaints. Noise cancellation is not as good compared to Bose quiet comfort -- but these are earbuds afterall, and so my expectations for noise cancellation are low, and as I mostly stay home have not had a chance to really test it. But it does do SOMETHING. I think if I were in a high noise environment I'd be inclined to use the headphones. But based on sound quality and comfort alone, I highly recommend! If I were to keep only ONE of the earbud options I'd go with this one.

These are my first pair of 'unwired' buds. Was using a Bose model previously. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, so setting these up was a snap. I literally opened the case and they connected to my phone. I love all of the options for controlling the buds, noise control, voice detect, 360 audio, etc. - they all work spectacularly. The case is the charger which is kinda cool, you can charge the case without the buds and charge the buds without the case being plugged in. They come with different sized covers so you can use the ones that fit your ears the best, and the fit test in the app is a great feature. I do wish they had wings though, I've always had a hard time getting buds to stay in my ears. Overall, I do love them (especially the color ;) ). Couple of minor things to note - obviously none of these were deal breakers for me: 1. The touch sensors are exactly that - touchy. When adjusting them in my ears it's very easy to accidentally change a setting. On the bright side, it's pretty easy to change it back. 2. You can't connect to 2 devices at once, i.e.; phone and laptop. My old buds did and would switch to the active device, so kind of missing that. Connecting them to devices other than the phone is pretty simple, however, and once set up it's just hitting 'Connect' and you're good to go. 3. The charging cable is USB-C to USB-C. I don't have a USB-C compatible charging block and don't want to keep them plugged into my laptop, so I found a USB to USB-C cable and use that. No issues. 4. They are a little uncomfy when trying to get them to sit in my ears correctly. But once seated they do stay pretty snug and I hardly notice them. I use them when running/working out and they haven't fallen out yet. Although I did almost lose one down the garbage disposal today, so take that with a grain of salt 5.
