Are Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro the best TWS earphones? When Apple, Samsung, etc. launch new products, prospective buyers expect a minimum warranty. But recently, it can be seen that the number of people who think that they can buy after reading a review is also increasing. Are the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro the best earbuds? Let’s check
For the second year in a row, the South Korean technology giant has introduced TWS earphones alongside foldable phones. The new earbuds were introduced on August 10. It’s the successor to last year’s Galaxy Buds Pro. Let’s share what we learned from testing the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for some time to see if they are good. They’re better than last year’s earbuds in at least two ways — they’re lighter, and the glossy finish has been ditched this time around. With that, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are undoubtedly better looking and wearing.
∙ What is TDBUS?
Before talking more about Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, let’s know what TWS means. Its full name is ‘True Wireless Stereo’. In fact, they are less useful than the best Bluetooth earphones. Because they are relatively small, the internal circuitry is not extensive. But it can be said that the comfort of using them increases the interest in them. Also, each new generation of TWS earphones is getting better overall.
∙ The case is square
This time the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro comes in a rectangular box. The inner earbuds will also be in the same color as the box. This time Samsung Earbuds 2 Pro has been launched in Bora Purple, Black and White colors. These are very attractive to look at.
The fact that the box and earbuds feel lighter compared to last year also adds to the trust in these. Buds has also made a slight difference to the seating area. But the powerful magnets in the seat ensure the buds stay in place. Two pogo pins are attached to each bud.
∙ Battery
One thing that buyers of these earbuds pay particular attention to is how long they can run continuously. Each of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro comes in a box with a 58mAh battery capacity. The box has a capacity of 500mAh. With the new technology, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro can last up to 8 hours on a single charge.
However, Samsung says that you can get up to 5 hours of active noise cancellation on these. But since it’s almost new, it gets around 6 hours of battery life right now. Meanwhile, running Ambient Sound mode drops battery life to around 5 hours. But, no one may run this mode for long.
Then there is no doubt that the battery life is better than the previous generation. But what about the charging time? There is a 616 mAh battery in both the buds and the case. It takes 75 minutes to charge from 0-100 percent. That means if you use the USB-C cable released by Samsung for this, it will take this much time. Wireless charging is also possible – any Qi-certified charger can be used. It will take more than two hours. The minimum time taken to fully charge wirelessly is around 125 minutes.
∙ How is the performance?
Samsung clearly knows that putting in a big woofer and tweeter won’t get you the best battery life. Because of this, the company has made this Buds2 Pro with more emphasis on battery life. Buds2 Pro has a sound that doesn’t have too much bass. This may not be the best experience for those who insist on hearing a lot of bass. But the clarity of the voice heard is heartening. Each instrument can be heard distinctly. However, it goes without saying that the lack of range also creates a lack of sound experience.
Active noise cancellation has improved over the previous generation. Sounds like the best we’ve ever heard from Samsung earphones. Buds2 Pro has three modes – active noise cancellation, off and ambient sound. The built-in array of three mics is even better at picking up external sounds. Cancellation is worse than this. But when taking a phone call it’s better than when you put the phone directly on the headset.
∙ Voice detect
When you start talking on the phone, the voice detect feature on the Buds2 Pro turns off ANC and turns on ambient sounds automatically. There may be a situation where the ambient sound feature needs to be turned on for a short period of time. For example an announcement. Just long press any bud to hear it. This can be useful while waiting for the train etc.
Controls via touch work well. Many people don’t use it. But users are satisfied with its performance. One tap is enough for play, stop etc. Music and podcasts can be controlled with two or three taps. Press and hold to make a call. Apart from this, these can also be customized as per the wish.
The earbuds also have an equalizer. If you thought that you can add base with this, you are wrong. This is a birth defect of the Buds2 Pro. It comes with the equalizer and more through the ‘Galaxy Wearables’ app. Many settings are available in the app. The weight of the Buds2 Pro has been reduced by 15 percent compared to the previous generation. Each bud weighs 5.5 grams. They are also easy to put in the ear. A small amount of water may not be a problem. The Buds2 Pro has an IPX7 rating. It seems that there may be no problem with sweating if you exercise and etc. with the buds. The price is $229. But you may get discount from MRP as you often get offers etc.
∙ The last word
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro is comfortable to use. Battery lasts for a long time. Very stylish. Those who are looking to buy such wireless earphones can get flawless performance.
