In terms of pairing, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 work like a dream with Samsung smartphones the setup for these buds only took a few moments with my Galaxy S21. While this is impressive, there are other earbuds on the market that can give 25 hours or more on a single charge, making the Buds2 seem a little lackluster in comparison. On arrival, the buds were at 55% power and the case was at 39% - after only five minutes on a charge, they were ready to go for an additional hour. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2’s battery can last up to five hours while using the ANC feature, and up to 20 hours when the buds and the case are charged. Samsung Galaxy Buds2 review: battery life If you live somewhere particularly rainy or wet, we would recommend choosing the Buds Pro set as they have an IPX7 rating, meaning they are protected against water immersion up to 1 meter. This level of protection means they can withstand spraying water when tilted up to 15 degrees vertically. Overall, these buds felt comfortable and secure but I do wish that they had a higher water resistance than IPX2 for rainy days. Being able to tap either bud to change songs or receive calls is great, but sometimes the buds didn’t pick up on my gestures when I didn’t tap in exactly the right spot. If you have owned other Galaxy earbuds, like me, using them will feel very familiar. Once I got on a call with a friend, however, the left bud started to fall out repeatedly, much to my annoyance I had taken them out to eat and tried just putting them back in without using the in-app test before answering the call. I went for a walk, worked out, and made dinner in these without an issue. During work, listening to podcasts and music felt comfortable and neither bud fell out. In terms of sound customization, there are six equalizer settings to choose from - normal, bass boost, soft, dynamic, clear, and treble boost.Īfter the setup was complete, I proceeded to charge the buds up and wear them for the entire day. Being able to boost the bass on my workout playlist did add an extra kick to my soundscape and motivation. While my voice on the call was clear enough, it felt very standard for calls taken through Bluetooth headphones.Įven before adjusting one of the six equalizer settings in the Galaxy Wearable app, the music was rich and clear thanks to the speakers emitting quality sound. Being able to switch the ambient sound off when calling a friend meant that I didn’t have to raise my voice needlessly, which was a great touch. It was effective, but could be improved to create a more immersive sound. Once the active noise-canceling was activated, it was good, but not as good as the noise-canceling on the Samsung Galaxy Pro earbud set. So reduced, that I didn’t even notice my partner walking towards my office until he got two steps away from the door. Once I popped the buds in properly, even before I activated the ANC feature, external noise was drastically reduced. Why? My neighbors’ dog barks constantly which can make working from home difficult at times.
