I know you are sponsored by Sony but it is too much of Sony. I was here for a Samsung ear bud. Focus on your title my friend please.
I'm not audio expert, but used many in ear buds over the years, and find Buds 2 Pro very pleasing. Hard to explain, but the sound doesn't appear to come from my ear, rather sounds source feels like far away like in concert hall which gives more natural feel. I like it.
Yea it's called 3D spacial audio lol
After 3 months, one bud getting quieter than the other. Wow super, i even used them for work, not often, cleaned them after using.
But after 3months they quit. Like no name buds für 20€ .
Samsung i hate you and i will never ever pay a penny.
@@petergonska2663😊
I guet it, something bad happenes, you're pissed amd lashing out.
Manufacturing issues are what warranty is for.
Your 20$ buds should have had wareanty too.
You don't pay extra for speakers because they last longer.
I have more than half a century old 5DM Transistorradios that still work. I have hadmuch more expensive and more sensitive "computery equipment that hardly lasted it's warrantytime. Accidents happen, things break.
@@petergonska2663 Blow into the ear buds part gently my ear buds have all done this and this seems to fix them everytime.
Man is comparing a 350$ earbuds to a 120$ earbuds. There is no way!
Well they used to be 200+ euro earbuds a year ago.
@@drachna a year ago.
He's comparing samsungs flagship with sonys which are arguably the best
He's really sponsored by sony wf1000xm5. Lol
Samsungs junk is always cheaper that price gap is inevitable, samsungs "Best" earbuds yet
I've been using these since they came out. They're comfortable, compact and seemless pairing in samsung eco system. If the passthough audio and battery life was improved I'd be even happier.
If Samsung used special features tech reviewer call it gimmicky if Apple copy Samsung features tech reviewer call it revolutionary!

There's a samsung app for that
@@mojmov6128name?
@@mojmov6128yeh i now
Thank you!
@@mojmov6128 what app please?
I bought this because I am using Samsung for a long time now, I needed something that would seamlessly connect with my device with decent sound and noise cancellation. This pair is extremely comfortable for long hours of usage, I literally fell asleep with these on my ear on the very first day i bought it 😅
Your comment convinced me. Buying my one tomorrow. I use s21 ultra
Same here lol
@@abirx5807I bought them for my s22 ultra and I love them
I will buy tomorrow, you have convinced me
Wait. You can sleep with it on the side of your head? That's cool if I got it right
I've been using these buds since launch, and I've had no issues with Dolby Atmos while streaming 24 bit audio through Tidal. Two caveats are that I've never tried Apple music and I have head tracking disabled. They've been great for me and I would recommend them to anyone that own Samsung devices.😊
Do you use them for workout especially running? I know they have ip rating but how does the matte material hold up against sweat after months of exposure? Do they fall out easy when running as well?
@@deviladvoc sorry but I never run. They're holding up well. No damage at all other than I've changed the ear tips.
@fromann09 which tips did you change to?
@@markpaulson1346 honestly they're an unbranded memory foam tip that I found on Amazon. They work great!
anyone know the wattage I can use to charge the Buds 2 Pro? I only have a 25W charger from Samsung and I'm worried about ruining the battery life.
Coming from the Buds 2, these things are elegant, more detailed sound, and Atmos sounds incredible. Definitely worth the price as they're currently on sale
These Samsung galaxy buds pro 2 grabbed in Indian sale as low as $39 usd

💯💪🏾
I just got these a few days ago, and I still like my first gen. Galaxy Buds, I don't know if I'm just really used to my Galaxy Buds but they seem to sound better and fit better to my ear compared to the Buds2 Pro. The Buds2 Peohave a richer sound and deeper bass but idk, something about the first gen galaxy buds makes them sound clearer 🤷♂️
Been using my 2 years old buds live on my S23 ultra.. You're not alone
I like the fit with the wing a little better.
I have the Buds Plus, the Buds 2, and the Buds 2 Pro and I think they're all excellent. But I feel the Buds Plus with its winged design is better for the gym as the wings help them lock better in your ears. The Buds 2 are a bit more comfy in bed as they are a bit sleeker and the Buds 2 Pro are the best for features and sound quality is a notch better than the Buds 2. Although sometimes I find myself liking the sound of the 2s better, so I'm gonna have to check the settings on both to see which one is truly the winner for me.
do you know the wattage I can use to charge the Buds 2 Pro? I only have a 25W charger from Samsung and I'm worried about ruining the battery life.
@@Mangomaniac You can safely use the Samsung 25 watt charger in your Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
@@Yilank_or a 100 watt charger for that matter, assuming it's not a generic Chinese 3 dollar power brick
It's true that the eartips are smaller and don't get far in the ear but that's a strength too. The Buds 2 Pro are incredibly comfortable! I can have them on for hours and my ears don't get tired.
That also helps with earwax.
How well do they stay in your ear? At work I use a pair that has the piece to go over the top of my ear like sport ones so I'm debating switching to these because my phone and watch are galaxy as well
@@jordanmack4406 I use them for jogging and I've never had a problem. Keep in mind that all ears are different, I would recommend you to tried them before buying them. I find them so comfortable and small, easily the best earbuds I've ever used.
2:15 For the EQ settings of the galaxy buds 2 pro, you can actually adjust them to be custome.
It's just that this setting isn't in the wearables app. It's in the regular phone settings.
You have to open device settings, then "sounds and vibration", then "sound quality and effects", then "Equalizer".
It's a bit hidden in settings, but it does exist.
Just make sure the Equalizer is on normal in the wearables app before changing things in settings.
Note: this affects not just the galaxy buds 2 pro sound though, but the overall sound output of the phone. So whatever you customized thru this method would apply to your phone's normal speakers as well, and if you pair your phone to a different audio device.
I use these on a samsung with "sound assistant" eq app, works well.
Bear in mind there are no perfect TWS. I bought my Buds2 Pro few weeks ago and these are great pair of earbuds for only $120! Sound quality and Call Audio Quality is super! ANC is decent. Fit is decent and eartips could have been better, ears doesn’t seal fully; ANC kinda helps in that regard. Can't wear them for too long though.. my ears sweat and then they become loose after a while. Battery life is enough cause I don’t listen to music or talk on the phone all day; in my case 2-3 hours maximum daily usage. And there were days I didn’t even had to charge my buds. These are very powerful earbuds in terms of connectivity, I feel like there was zero delays in terms of audio playback; never noticed any slight glitch or lag. Touch controls works flawlessly. I mean at $120 this is a huge win for me.
how were you able to get yours for only 120?
@@akawale9017 I guess it depends on your location. I bought mine from a local store through online delivery; they're selling at 50% discount. I mean even without that offer you'll still find that the price dropped significantly (somewhere between $130-$160) and available for that price from most third party retailers. I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh by the way.
Hi bro I'm also using buds 2 Pro one month but now its auto disconnecting with my phone and reconnecting. Why ?
@@kavinff6851 Have you tried updating firmware? Make sure you're on latest firmware with Galaxy Wearables and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro manager apps. The problem you mentioned never happened in my case. Though keep in mind, the audio would do a bit phase in and out if you leave your phone at a distance room.
@@akawale9017u can get an international version, only 30 days warranty in US from Amazon! I got mine for 113...I purchased 3 years extended warranty for 28
I have both, and yes, the buds 2 pro has a more neutral sound, and due to its high water resistance rating, this is my go-to buds for running. WFXM5 do have more punch and have a balanced tuning and I use it for traveling due to the ANC and battery
I got the buds2 pro but they leak sound so badly that I had to return them. Have you had similar experience with these?
@@xyz0000xyz1 I have them for a couple of months and to me they are the best sounding headphones I have ever used
@@xyz0000xyz1i just got a pair, ill do some testing onve i actually get them set up
anyone know the wattage I can use to charge the Buds 2 Pro? I only have a 25W charger from Samsung and I'm worried about ruining the battery life.
@xyz0000xyz1 after three weeks, no mine do not leak audio. Much better then my brothers pair of ear pods
Samsung Adapt Sound has worked wonders in fine tuning different notes for different hearing ranges. Definitely go through adapt sound with the buds before knocking the equalizer not giving you exactly what you want.
I exchanged my buds2 for buds 2 pro. I think the mic on the buds2 pro is worse than the ones on buds2. Making calls, many times I've been told they can't hear me. Never had this issue w my buds2 :c
Still the best in my opinion is the old XM3, yes others have better sound, anc and features but the 1 thing that makes the XM3 great was the ease to replace the battery. These newer earbuds are great but the battery degradation is just ridiculous, they only usually lasts around 2 years.
Thank you for the tip (when I turn off the "360 audio", sound quality improves when listening to music). I was almost returning the buds if it hadn't been your tip. Thanks. On the other hand, I tested many headphones and buds. I still haven't found the quality I expected yet. (I am an entry-level audiophile). I think wired headphones are still better when it comes to sound quality. But of course, they are not convenient enough compared to wireless units.
Loved my buds 2 pro, but after an update, my right earbuds volume SIGNIFICANTLY decreased. Sent it back to Samsung since it was still under warranty, and they couldn't send me another unit. Instead, sending me a full refund. Luckily, I still have Buds Pro from last year. Might wait for the next generation before I purchase again.
Maybe thats whats wrong with mine, I've got the buds+ and i wear them 8hrs a day, 5 days a week for like the last 4 or 5 yrs ( i forget how long I've had them) the right side barely has any sound since i accidentally dropped it, but the right side has just randomly started sounding heaps quiter. If machinery is around i can hardly hear the podcasts anymore and i thought they were just reaching their time
I found that I can use the sound enhancements and equalizer on my s23 ultra separate from, or along with sound enhancement offered on the earbud app. All in all I'm satisfied with these earbuds but do not care that much for the silicone earpieces. Medium is a little too small and large is too tight and aches after a while. The memory foam ear pieces are always better than the silicone ones. They're much more comfortable and have way better sound. I'm looking for a pair that is made specifically for these earbuds.
Where are you able to independently adjust the sound settings on your S23? I own an S20 Ultra. I'm using the Galaxy Wearable app to control these.
@@shanew7361Equaliser
Phone settings >sound and vibrations>sound quality and effects and eq it should be there
I got my buds about 3 months ago and I definitely love the sound and the ease of using them the real major problem I have with them is no matter what ear cushion I use on them they're ALWAYS popping out of my ears. I thought maybe it was because of the way I was inserting them in my ear but I watched a few videos and I'm installing them properly. I will never buy another pair specifically for this reason.
Shocking fit regardless what tips fitted, need wingtips for sure,I've had to turn off the tap feature so I can keep pushing them back into the ear.
Glad it's not just me, they're awfully fitting, my old buds are much better...I'd have been pissed if I paid for them.
I actually returned xm5 and got buds2 pro instead. Maybe my unit was faulty but xm5's call quality and brief connection drops in a busy area were just too annoying. Sound quality was great though, I would say better than buds 2 pro. Although ANC was much better it felt actually weird for me as those goes deep in ur ear and I feel so pressured all the time, I prefer buds 2 pro in this department. Ambient mode was a joke and it was barely usable in wind with xm5, at least buds 2 pro was automatically stopping ambient mode in a windy environment and actually feels more natural.
I upgraded to these earlier in the year from the original galaxy buds I bought in like 2019. I love the improvement in sound quality (even on an iPhone) plus the noise cancelling
I wish the microphone was a bit better for calls
Do you use them for workout especially running? I know they have ip rating but how does the matte material hold up against sweat after months of exposure? Do they fall out easy when running as well?
Thanks for the video!
How is the Bluetooth range on them in case you get physically far away from the phone with the Buds in your ears?
Yea according to allot of people these are the best buds for Galaxy phones which is good for me because i just bought a Z Fold 5 which i will get in about a week when the order comes into store.
Sony and Pixel's mics sounds dope.
💯💪🏾
This was helpful. I am considering upgrading to the S24 Ultra because Samsung is offering me $650 if I trade in my S22 Ultra. I can also buy a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for S49.99 if I upgrade my phone. I guess that is, in effect, a really good sale. I have a pair of the original Galaxy Buds that I very rarely use because they kept falling out of my ears. I've tried other earbuds over the last few years, but all have had issues. Most recently, I purchased a pair of Raycon earbuds. I've only used them twice because every time I put them in my ears, I got contact dermatitis and had extremely itchy ear canals for weeks. Since I hadn't experienced that with any other earbuds, I tried cleaning the ear tips with isopropyl alcohol and a cue tip and tried them again. I got 2 more weeks of itchy ears for my trouble. As a result, I have mostly just been using wired earbuds with a USB C adapter.
Since I haven't been able to find anything online about the silicon in Raycon earbuds being different than that used by other manufacturers, I am reluctant to pay $300 for Sony earbuds; that may be great, but it also might give me more ear rashes. But I think risking $50 is more reasonable.
Guys trust me i just got them and with the anc and the 360 audio they do not dissapoint. Their design is so stylish too. Totally worth it

Brother do you have a video for linkbuds s vs samsung galaxy buds2 pro?
And what is the app for samsung earbuds?
I purchased the buds 3 pro today and my my my, I love em and especially the new feature included with the 3D audio. I would recommend it to stay safer because as we age, too much bass is not good and anything going too deep into my ear is a no no.
The spatial audio setting is basically a series of digital algorithms that imitate ambisonic audio. When combined with Dolby atmos, the audio signal is effected by 360 audio or Dolby Atmos, THEN that effected signal is processed again by the other signal processor. They are both designed to effect regular audio, not effected audio. It's a bit of a silly oversight to even allow both at the same time.
360 audio is a GREAT feature to have, of you can figure a way to incorporate it into listening to Binaural, ambisonic or similar audio tracks. If it could be utalised while editing audio, it would be a one of the best things since sliced bread.
Thanks, Josh. I just made my purchase of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro after watching your video! I decided to get the Buds 2 Pro now instead of waiting for the Buds 3 because I heard the Buds 3 only new feature will be AI inclusion which doesn't seem worth the wait.
Great review Josh, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Just got my galaxy pros 2. They are fantastic! So many options with these earbuds. Songs sound great. Whats all the complaints about? Lol
I brought some last week, unfortunately they hurt my ears after 1-2 hours but bearing in mind that everyone's ears are different. They sound really good!

I bought mine for $60 as one of my friends who bought an s23u didnt like it, they’re decent in my experience.
Your decent
I'm currently using JBL reflect mini nc earbuds, but I'm thinking of buying these. I currently don't have a samsung device, but I'll buy S24 Ultra when it comes out. Do the buds have a find feature to make noise to find them if I drop it for example in grass? Something like the alarm if I walk away from them. If they do, does it work with non-samsung devices?
I realize your question is 5 mos old, but yes, they utilize the Samsung SmartThings app to locate them. Once you're in close proximity to them, you can ring them. They detect the left and right buds separately as well.
Got the Buds2 Pros for $30 when bundled with upgrading to the S24+. Hard deal to beat, mic quality didnt sound the best, but looking forward to trying to identify the difference in sounds with the proprietary codec.
I have these buds and your review is spot on. I literally yeld out that's what I've been saying when you got to the eartips 😆 Any chance you've found some aftermarket tips for them that work better?
I've had these for a few months now. Since then some of the features were not working as they should like the volume up and down by tapping the inside of the bud and calls weren't coming through clearly and the battery life was sub par.
I did a reset and now everything works perfectly. Just a rip for anyone having problems with their buds to try.
I'm still amazed at how they perform, like even the ANC works better, it's so weird.
You can tap the outside your ear (helix) to adjust the volume. It works flawlessly for me, and you avoid accidentally activating other touch features.
Samsung equaliser is in the (goodlock) sound assistant app! You must install it, does not come pre-installed. It also gives per app sound control and bluetooth latency menegment.
I have every buds model produced and I still usually fall back on the buds live. No ear tips.. Claim no water resistance but I've worn in the shower for 2 years and even dropped in water a few times and never a issue 😂 I do like these b2p but honestly can't go wrong with any of them
The 3d tracking and with ambient sound on blew my mind.
The buds 2 pro can be found for £80 in the uk since there given away in phone deals and people sell them on ebay.
You can adjust the EQ in samsung phone settings, and the EQ will be different depending on if the buds are connected or not.
There's not much to complain about considering the price.
So persons buying samsung phones sell them on e-bay? In UK? Are these sealed? Some sellers sell multiples of these on ebay.
I use the Galaxy wearable app to control them. I have an S20, where in phone settings can I adjust the EQ?
I just got my buds2 pro the sound quality is OK, the battery is OK for me but the ANC needs more work and did I mention it's super comfortable. I can literally forgot them in my ear with no discomfort
You can customize the eq but you have to do it from the phone settings not the wear app.
Buds 2 pro is 150$ while xm5 is 400$. So i picked them and happy right now
It is weird that since I change to the s23 ultra from the mi9T, my skullcandy earbud cannot tap to answer incoming calls from 3rd party app. I wonder if it was the fault of the phone or the earbuds, and if I get the bud2s pro, will it work again?
Thanks for the info. Was helpful
I have a Momentum TWS3 but a shortcoming of the TWS3 with Android devices is that it does not activate mono mode when a single earbud is used. Therefore, I find myself using the Buds Pro more than the TWS3 as I usually use a single earbud while walking. But the Buds Pro sound quality is becoming less than ideal as time goes on so I might upgrade to the Buds2 Pro.
I wonder if the Sony wf-whatevers switch to mono with a single earbud.
Whats the price of it? Im about to purchase it cause my apple airpods gen 3 recently went through after having it for 3 years. Whats the difference?
Between Linkbuds S and buds pro 2 for a samsung user which one you recommend?
The galaxy buds are always the best way to go.
If I had a Samsung device and budget wasn't an issue, would you recommend the Buds2 Pro's or the XM5's?
Buds actually cause for normal use it won't be a problem at all .the videos just tells difference but you will feel great listening to it.
My mum is gonna buy the z flip 5 tomorrow. one of the freebies is the Galaxy Buds2 Pro which she is giving to me. Luckily for me my phone is a sumsung specifically A05s. I'm very excited to try out my new buds! Please give me any tips to take care my buds.
Bass problem fixed with Comply Foam T500 tips and using EQ on your phone. Buds 2 Pro is so comfortable you can sleep in them.
I am planning to buy those in January. Or is it better to wait for the Buds 3?
Im just looking for which of these are better at canceling noise and how exactly the noise cancelation sounds like
I suspect the bass is lighter to keep the ear buds lasting that little bit longer but I could be wrong.
Is there a way for my phone to stop playing through the buds when I open the case until I actually take out the buds?
I just got my Buds Pro today. Saw them for $100. SNAGGED! and glad. The ambience setting is the perfect setting for a work place environment. You can almost forget they are even in your ears. I'm still fiddling around with the Voice Detection. Just the idea of auto dropping your volume when talking to someone should have made me buy these on release.
anyone know the wattage I can use to charge the Buds 2 Pro? I only have a 25W charger from Samsung and I'm worried about ruining the battery life.
I'm loving Samsung products these days but I had to return these buds. I have the Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy watch 6 classic and Z Fold 4 so I picked these buds up. The white noise was too loud and the anc was weak compared to the Sonys xm5. I hope Samsung release a much better set of buds soon because I would like to get even more into the ecosystem.
In my opinion, ANC isn’t weak. It’s enough to make you comfortable but let's you hear a bit of your surroundings so that you won't get hit by a truck or something when you're crossing the road. Though, they could've made it even better if they've given you a slider to set how high or low you'd like the ANC. I mean, these buds are powerful don't get me wrong; if they wanted to do the ANC like complete vacuum of silence they would've nailed it but they didn’t want to risk customers suing them for road accidents. And yes Transparency mode is loud AF. And Galaxy Buds2 Pro released a year ago while SONY WF-1000XM5 only came a month ago so please don't compare these two.
@@sheikhabdullah873 it’s a fair comparison for me because these were the options available while I was looking. & yes, the ANC is weak in my opinion. Risking a lawsuit is no excuse since there were already buds on the market with great ANC when these were released. I like Samsung but they dropped the ball on these. But hopefully the next iteration will be much better.
I actually returned xm5 and got buds2 pro instead. Maybe my unit was faulty but xm5's call quality and brief connection drops in a busy area were just too annoying.

@@erboldburmaa9329 a lot reviewers received faulty units from Sony. It’s a chance yours were faulty because I haven’t had any of those issues. Unacceptable for such expensive buds for sure.

my buds 2 pro having issue on left bud, when i don't use it the left bud charging decreases. then i have to open the case and remove the bud from the case and put it back to charge it. pls suggest to fix it.
Can I charge these with any power bank or samsung 25 watt charger, will it impact battery life
This review is all over the place. Why not focus on the product. I know more about the other buds than the ones came for.
Would the 360 sound work same on samsung tv as apple does?
Thanks for a great review. This one definitely helped me make my decision
Is there a reason why the 360 isnt showing up in my app? The option just isnt there, is it because its not compatible with my older phone?
The Samsung does have a proper EQ, if you go into the main phone settings - sounds and vibration - sound quality and effects, the equaliser there has a custom setting that allows you to adjust everything like a proper EQ. It also has the advantage of adapt sound, where it'll do a hearing test and customise the sound to your age.
have you tested the 360 aduio with 8d songs?
I just bought few days back, everytime i move,or did not move,it keep on pause,or auto skip my audio without touching anything, n when i lay down sideways,it start to stop n keep switching. Pls help how to disable the auto annoying pause
Ordered some in the sales, arriving later today, how would you rate the value at a mere £50? after Samsungs current £80 cashback deal on them?
sre you sure you order the buds2 pro and not the buds2 for that price?
If you pair Sony with the Samsung phone will it sounds better than buds2 pro ?
I don’t know, when I use the buds it sounds like the sound is coming far away. Like how it sounds when you go to a live show/concert, even a movie theater. It’s really weird, not sure if it’s a bug
Here's a thing, when reviewing something or deciding if It's good or bad don't compare with other devices in such obvious way. There are always better than the better versions. You can never find something perfect. That's why the company releases new devices every year or so.
Totally disagree. Products don't exist in a vacuum. Knowing that these have some minor Galaxy gimmicks but worse anc battery sound than even my xm4's, i know 0% reason to use my s24 ultra credit to get a free pair. Very useful
Got this for around 30$ on the Amazon sale in India last week.
I think that Samsung is readying up to release the Buds3 Pro. The price of the 2 pros is on sale for $112.00 US dollars.
Where? Amazon is 198$??
@@murdock8068 this deal was at Amazon, but the price has risen back up
@@murdock8068as of Sep 27, these are back on sale at Amazon for 114-120 dollars! I would hurry if you're interested
I'm a "happy" owner of Sony XM4s which are discharging like crazy a year after I bought it. My left earbud shows 65%, my right one - 6% while I used them the same time. And still, even those 65% are left only after around 40 minutes watching CZcams.
Even I love how XM4s fit and sound, I don't think I will ever use Sony earbuds again.
Yo, im having the same issue here with the same earbuds. My left only last 1 to 1.5 hours fully charged. The right one 3 to 4 hours. The sound quality is great but idk what happened to them. Is it because their updates? Disappointed in them tbh . Was thinking of getting the newer ones but idk. Since I'll be getting credit from best buy. I'll probably try these earbuds out
@@JuanLR714 I'm not sure, but my right one only holds around 10-15 minutes now and the right one 1-1 hrs. And this is with all the additional processing disabled (i.e. no transparent mode, no noise cancelling, no talk to speak, etc.)
I wrote to their support and they told me to follow the steps (like reset, reconnected, etc. which I've already done a million times). Then, when I tried to reply to their support email to tell that this didn't work, the system responded that I cannot reply to the email 🤣Great support work!
I'm confused.... Those features that you mentioned at the end of the video aren't Samsung Galaxy exclusive... anyone can install the app and use those features.
Even the ability to be paired to multiple devices
Yeah, that’s my bad. I didn’t mean for it to sound like Samsung phone exclusive. SSC and Samsung device switching are the only real Samsung device exclusive features I believe - Josh

And the 360 also.
Love these buds there a must add to your collection and also bass hard idk what he's talkn bout
Hello can u review Jabra elite and compared it with sony xm5 ??
Oppo enco x2 vs Samsung Buds 2 pro which is better?
Please reply.
you can change the equalizer in your settings. it even works on my s24 ultra, settings > sound and vibration > sound quality and effects > custom
Sorry to say but I wonder how much you really use the device and the buds. I see you have the s23 ultra and as you may very well know you can adjust the EQ from sound quality and effects under sound settings. The same way you can adjust the Dolby atmos settings to make it fit your hearing age. In terms of sound, base is not a measure you would use when talking about sound quality, actually the sound performance of the buds are very very good once you see the real sound output graph. Just saying in order to actually really review a device you should really go deep into them. Fit is also another factor that is very subjective as ear shape and ear canal has lots to do with that. I have multiple earbuds including this one and I use foam ear tips and the noise isolation is very great. Every company does a specific frequency block with ANC and that really will depend on how you define Noise cancelling for yourself as it's a very subjective thing to say. Completely noise isolation won't even happen on the sony buds as it's been tested in labs against other buds and it really doesn't fair that well. Anyways there are ways of improving the buds and yes they are not perfect but from the range I have they actually are very good with good sound fidelity not basey punch sound output.
"base is not a measure you would use when talking about sound quality," What? Bass is definitely something you consider with sound quality. This makes me think you have no idea what you're talking about. Bass, mids, and treble are ALL about sound quality. The level of bass, the impact, the dynamics, and the detail all matter with bass and accurate sound reproduction.
"the sound performance of the buds are very very good once you see the real sound output graph". Yep. I was right. You don't know anything about audio quality. Sound graphs aka Frequency Graphs don't tell the whole story. The ear tip design and material and about how it fits in the ear makes a HUGE difference in sound quality. Frequency graphs only tell half the story with audio quality. Please don't comment with misinformation, ever again.
I've used both the first and second galaxy buds pro ever since both first came out. The sound is very good, as is the ANC. But the microphones are utter garbage. The grills are blocked by dust etc very easily, and after a while just don't work at all, even after cleaning. This for me has happened on both the buds pro 1 and pro 2.
Just got mine today. I really like them, sound pretty good to me.
Got some buds free with Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm. Cant complain, very good little buds, may even sell my Sony XM4's 🤷♂️
ive had these for about 4 months. I use them mostly when im on my lunch break, and i cannot seem to keep them in my ear, they always want to fall out, especially when i chew. Never had this problem with my air pods, its quite annoying.
1. Can't we just replace those Samsung buds if that's an issue for bass performance with something like Sony's ?
2. Mic sounds good
Does the voice detect work on a non galaxy device?
Lol. There are fancy car companies advertising they can now fssture Hall effect. You do you know how hard it is to calculate the distance of an object and have it play back as if it was truly at that distance? How try that with 4 galaxy headphones. It still works. That's because galaxies have hardware optimized audio stacks which is why they already supported 3D audio back during the gear VR, in fact the the oculus is really just the gear VR. The audio stack also support volume normalisation, uhq, up scaling, 192 24khz output via USB, full agency free audio synthesization from any wav file stacked through thousands of filters played with any midi control live on stage or for recording, the ability to play as many audio sources as you want and split them off to varying sources so only the game your playing and your notifications remains on your phone, am I missing anything? Can aosp even do any of that? Can it even do local volume normalisation or even gaploess playback or does it need server-side processing?
You can literally do anything on a galaxy way to the g7 without even root, you could spoof the pixel, run 2 additional instances of android with 3 ip addresses. Floating windows, multi tasking, auto optimisation, knox secure folders that each only make the others more impossible to hack. The headphones support zero latency, my note 8 still uses magnetic pulse tech to use s pay anywhere even on old 1970s has stations and metros. The dsp allows for the health app to run without any privacy risks at all simply body motion and it works fine. The galaxy watch doesn't even need goodle. You simply side load and everything that works for galaxies work better anywhere. It constantly tracks my blood pressure, type of exercise, speed and pace, stress levels, sleep cycles, body metrics which is amazing, I can do anything I can do on my phone on my watch and anything on my computer j can do to on my phone.
Have you tried connecting multiple blutooth headphones to a laptop or tablet?
Works fine on a galaxy tab or fold.
I think you just literally don't know how to use technology so a Guinea pig phone that always needs it's fast and frequency updates feels like it's saving you from yourself when it's just using you as a free bug catcher.
How did you get that Sony XM5 mic quality? Wtf
my advice after using these for a while is buy foam ear tips unlike other samsungs buds they went back to the round connector :)
Can anyone compare the mic quality for phone calls with the Galaxy Buds Pro? I have the 1st gen buds pro and have had to ditch them for phone calls bc everyone to a T complained they couldn't understand me well. The buds pro 2 don't sound stellar on this video, appreciate any input.
Note: in the phone settings app, there is a fully customizable EQ, that only applies to the buds and not the phone speakers, and vice versa!!
This popped up on my feed 6 months later
You didn't mention that sound quality different between anc on and anc off
Have the galaxy buds special audio like the airpods pro 2?,
