Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Review: Perfectly fine | Trusted Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are an improvement over the original and worth considering by Galaxy owners looking for affordable true wireless

Nice design and fit ; Effective noise cancellation/Ambient mode performance ; Good call quality ; Well-featured app

Similarly priced rivals offer better sound ; Touch controls a little finicky ; Tailored more for Samsung Galaxy owners

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review: noise-cancelling earbuds that easily keep up with the competition

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are feature-packed true wireless earbuds

Good sound quality ; Active noise cancellation ; Works seamlessly with other Galaxy devices

Not waterproof or even water-resistant ; Battery life is just okay ; No manual EQ settings

For anyone who has already bought into the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are a fantastic choice and a big improvement on the first generation. You get good sound and the noise-cancelling does a fantastic job at cutting out...

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review

Can Samsung's newest and smallest entry-level Galaxy Buds do battle with the best in show?

Pleasing bass weight ; Lightweight design ; Intuitive Android app

Harsh through the treble ; Dynamically lacking

The snappy, seamless Android experience is a joy, but the extra perks offered by the Galaxy Buds 2 struggle to atone for disappointing sound quality

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review

The second-generation Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are a huge improvement

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

ANC could be stronger ; No sub-bass response ; No always-listening Assistant ; Only IPX2 rating

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...

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review: Fully featured

Samsung's updated Buds in-ears have plenty to offer compared to the original release. Does the Buds 2 hit that sweet spot of price to performance?

Compact design and case ; Good sound ; Customisation options via the Wearable app ; Wireless charging ; Good background noise supression on calls

Not the best active noise-cancelling (ANC) around ; Only IPX2 splash proofing ; Only supports Bixby voice assistant

A marked improvement over the original model, sharing features with the higher-priced Galaxy Buds Pro, these headphones importantly sound decent. They don't offer the best active noise-cancellation (ANC) around, but they do offer great call quality.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 deliver the best of the Galaxy Buds Pro for less, with ANC, wireless charging, and a colourful, lightweight design.

Lightweight, compact design ; Solid sound & ANC ; Wireless charging

Fiddly touch controls ; Limited iOS support ; Average battery life

The Galaxy Buds 2 are excellent all-rounders, with a comfortable, lightweight design and high-end features like ANC and wireless charging – balanced by fiddly touch controls and only average battery life. Anyone on Android should be happy with these,...

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 review: The new default earbuds for Android users

With active noise cancellation, decent battery life, and a palatable price tag, the Galaxy Buds2 could be Samsung's best true wireless earbuds yet.

Impressive noise cancellation ; Above average ambient sound mode ; Excellent hard-hitting bass ; Compact charging case ; Decent battery life and wireless charging

Only IPX2 water resistance ; No multipoint support ; No support for aptX and LDAC ; Can sound a little too bright

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review

Our expert's thoughts on Samsung's new ANC wireless earbuds.

Lightweight, comfortable fit ; Active Noise Cancellation ; Great call quality ; User-friendly Samsung Wearable app ; Good colour options

ANC could be stronger ; Touch controls are a little too sensitive ; Very basic water resistance

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are a lightweight pair of ANC wireless earbuds with a sleek design and great colour selection. The call quality is superb, music sounds well-balanced, and the set-up process is seamless.
