The Galaxy Buds 2 takes a page from the Galaxy Buds Pro in the design department. In fact

While the Buds Pro's case emp

Slippery earbuds can be hard to handle

Samsung devices are required for the Buds2's best features

Not as water resistant as competitors
No iOS app support
Lacks aptX
Not compatible with Samsung 360 Audio
Sensitive touch controls
The Buds2 don't work well with iOS devices
The only assistant built into the Buds2 is Bixby

Active noise-cancellation, Balanced sound, Improved call quality, Galaxy Wearable app is useful

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are a huge improvement over the originals, offering active noise cancellation, better sound quality, and a great fit. While they're not the best true wireless earbuds out there, they're easily one of the best for Samsung smartpho...
Abstract: It's getting really tough to say something clever at the top of a wireless earbud review. There are just so many of these things now. Five years ago? No problem. True wireless earbuds were in their infancy and we were all very excited that wires might be...
Good, Very comfortable, good fit, Good looks, easy controls, Very good active noise cancellation, Laid-back yet engaging sound, Good soundstage
No app support on iOS, Scalable codec only works with Samsung devices, Only IPX2 water resistance
Even though the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 isn't the most premium and well-equipped pair of true wireless earphones in the company's range, this is nonetheless my pick even when compared to the more expensive Galaxy Buds Pro. It's a good value-for-money propos...
Decent sound quality and ANC, Exceptionally secure fit, comfortable to wear, Qi wireless charging
Only IPX2 rated, No app support for iOS users yet, A bit bass-biased and mediocre mic performance
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 are, no doubt, a substantial improvement over the original Galaxy Buds offering better sound quality, active noise cancellation and a phenomenal fit. The buds are smaller and lighter than Samsung's previous TWS offerings and are o...
The Buds 2 can be considered if you live in Samsung’s ecosystem or own an Android smartphone. They don’t come cheap, even though the Buds 2 are pitched as entry-level truly wireless earbuds. The design is likable, they fit well, the sound impresses, and t...
Abstract: Recently, a new pair of wireless earbuds got announced. It looks nice, sounds nice on paper but comes with a hefty price of RM829. That's really expensive for the Malaysian market, as it's above the average price. But do you know that you can get yourself...
Abstract: Considering an upgrade of your wireless earbuds that goes easy on your wallet? Here's your answer, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2. At the price of RM499, these true wireless earbuds are Samsung's latest audio wearables for music lovers all around. What do they...
Abstract: This new Galaxy Buds2 is a rather weird product, honestly. It's not Samsung's “highest-end” wireless earbuds – that title goes to the Galaxy Buds Pro. But they are both very similar to the point that I'll say they're very… well, just blurring the lines be...
Nice, clean look, Good sound quality, Reliable touch-based controls, Comfortable to use for long hours, Good value for money, Has ANC, Stable wireless connection, Great for calls
Lack of high quality audio codec support (aptX), ANC experience could be better, Only IPX2, Battery life could be better, No Bluetooth Multipoint
