Samsung Galaxy Buds2
PROS
Bass-forward sound signature with bright highs. Good noise cancellation for the price.
CONS
Weak water-resistance rating. Touch controls are easy to misfire. Small, slippery earbuds can be hard to handle.
BOTTOM
LINE Samsung’s true wireless Galaxy Buds2 earphones improve upon the originals with the addition of active noise cancellation, but still carry the same low water-resistance rating.
The on-ear controls can be a little clunky, and the earpieces are a bit small and slippery, while a low IP rating means they aren’t the best choice for sweaty exercise. Anker’s Soundcore Liberty Air Pro 2 earphones ($129.99) remain our top pick for greater water resistance and slightly better ANC.
SLEEK BUT SLIPPERY
Available in black, lavender, olive, or white, the Galaxy Buds2 have a smooth exterior that looks sharp but can feel slippery. They’re also small, which combined with the glossy finish can make them slightly difficult to handle. Although Samsung advertises the size as a selling point, we actually would prefer that the earpieces were a little larger so we could get a better hold on them.
That said, once these earbuds are in your ear and given a slight twist, the fit is quite secure; three pairs of silicone eartips are included to help you find the right size. Internally, dynamic drivers tuned by AKG deliver the audio. The earphones connect via Bluetooth 5.2 and support AAC and SBC codecs, as well as Samsung’s proprietary Scalable codec.
