Having experienced a range of Samsung's wireless earbuds, from the original Galaxy Buds to the FE and Pro models, I can confidently say the Buds 2 Pro represents a significant step forward. The build quality remains consistent with the familiar design, though the packaging does exude a slightly more premium feel, reminiscent of the original Buds Pro.Where these earbuds truly shine is in their audio performance. The sound quality is exceptional, and the active noise cancellation is remarkably effective. In my experience, they even outperformed my Sony WH4 headphones during air travel, which was a pleasant surprise. A particularly welcome addition is the ability to adjust volume by touching the ear tip, freeing up the side tap controls for other functions.Battery life is adequate, though not a dramatic improvement over previous iterations. Charging is reasonably quick, but not exceptionally so. Overall, the Buds 2 Pro delivers a refined and high-quality listening experience that surpasses its predecessors.
