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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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)
@@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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
@@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 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.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
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 ?
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.
Basically these Buds 2 are not bad earbuds. But just like the Beats, at $150 they're nowhere near a bargain. Buds Pro are fairly easy to find around $160 and Airpods Pro around $170 - $180. Not to mention the other players in the market like Soundcore, Soundpeats, Earfun, Edifier who offer as much if not more around the $70 - $80. The market has evolved and just the name of the brand is no longer everything.
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
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.
@@Morningbikeride There are no Galaxy Buds Pro 2 yet. You're probably referring to the Buds 2 which Mike reviewed in this video. The Buds Pro is $200 and I got it for less than the price of the Buds 2.
Here in Egypt both Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds Pro are almost the same price and I'm currently using the galaxy buds plus. Given my situation, should I ever upgrade? Is there any upgrade to the mic quality from the puds plus?
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.
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.
@@rambleroodle2369 to me they sound no worse then any other headphones in the price range. Only crap part is Samsung made a companion app for setting but only for buds pro models( believe that’s the name of them)
😅Out of situation question... How to sanitize these galaxy earphones and galaxy watch daily... Is it okay to clean them with tissue paper soaked in some sanitizer?..
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
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. 👍
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

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.
Thanks for the review! I finally decided to buy the earbuds after watching your video
Could you do a comparison with the galaxy buds plus?
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
Basically these Buds 2 are not bad earbuds.
But just like the Beats, at $150 they're nowhere near a bargain.
Buds Pro are fairly easy to find around $160 and Airpods Pro around $170 - $180.

Are you wearing the galaxy watch 4 or watch 4 classic?
Classic
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
What do you 🤔 Are they really that better than buds plus?
You lose some battery and the wing tip, but I like the case better, the buds are smaller and lighter, the sound is better, and ANC is nice to have
1:16 cotton balls in my ear... 😂😂😂
The ANC is not at the same level as some other competitors, but how is it compared to Buds Pro's ANC?
How good are they with non Samsung phones say Huawei Mate 20x?
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 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.
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'd like a Mike test.... an all night Mike test...
I bought the Galaxy Buds Pro for USD 145 and received it last week. No regrets.
But you can get galaxy buds pro 2 for same price and you are probably still within return window.
@@Morningbikeride There are no Galaxy Buds Pro 2 yet. You're probably referring to the Buds 2 which Mike reviewed in this video. The Buds Pro is $200 and I got it for less than the price of the Buds 2.
In Canada, the difference between de 2 and the pros is 10$ so I really don't know which one to choose.
Pros especially for that dolby atmos sound
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.
I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!
Here in Egypt both Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds Pro are almost the same price and I'm currently using the galaxy buds plus. Given my situation, should I ever upgrade? Is there any upgrade to the mic quality from the puds plus?
Save money and buy watch 4 classic 🤙
Are these released?
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?
watch 4 video will be a great hit. For the first time Android watch seems to be attractive.
Bud 2 or buds pro
Choose 1 for me.
Are these better than amazon echo buds
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
Got tired of buying AirPods so actually bought these for my iPhone and work good. Just as good as my old AirPods Pro’s for half the price
Is it really good? I was considering to awitch to iphone but idk how good they sound on iphone compaerd to galaxy phone
@@rambleroodle2369 to me they sound no worse then any other headphones in the price range. Only crap part is Samsung made a companion app for setting but only for buds pro models( believe that’s the name of them)
@@NotAJosh yea sadly it was only for buds pro and live i believe, its so shitty.
@@NotAJosh oh also do you have an experience with the mic on iphone? I think there was a difference between them.
@@rambleroodle2369 mic I do not but I can try and let you know
😅Out of situation question... How to sanitize these galaxy earphones and galaxy watch daily... Is it okay to clean them with tissue paper soaked in some sanitizer?..
I use Qtips dabbed with alcohol to clean my buds and watch.
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
you look like a villain in a comedy film starring kevin hart and I love it.
😂😂
is this good for call even if you are whispering?
How does it compare to OnePlus buds pro
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. 👍
Thanks for information 👌✌
Just tried both I prefer the buds pro the sound is just richer and the casing feels more premium.
How's the bass for the pros?
Fit was terrible on pros. I even tried foam tips...buds 2 and live take it for me
Great review.
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
