Samsung Galaxy Buds2, Bluetooth True Wireless Earbuds - Graphite

The new earbuds arrive in a square case, just like the Buds Pro and Buds Live. Samsung announced them as its lightest buds up to date, but the difference is minuscule in reality. Yes, the Galaxy Buds2 feels light in hand, but they are just one gram lighter than the Buds+, which isn’t such a big deal in real life.

While all Galaxy Buds2 devices come in a white case regardless of the color version you pick, but the inside of the case matches their paint job. Our unit in Graphite color looks astounding, with the flashy color appearing as an accent, saving you the trouble to color-match your clothes to such a hue of Purple.

The battery capacity here is solid 472mAh in the case and 61mAh in each bud. The Galaxy Buds2 can easily withstand 5 hours on a single charge with the ANC on, while without, it can go for 8 full hours if volume levels are at 80-90%.

The case of the Buds2 supports wireless charging, and in five minutes they can gain one full hour of endurance. Audio quality is key for Samsung, and this time the maker did everything to provide pure and crisp sound during talking. When we received the Buds, they couldn’t turn on Ambient Sound while on the call, 

The Active Noise Cancellation mutes 98% of the surrounding world on paper, and in practice, we established the buds block the majority of distractions easily, with the rubber tips helping a lot. Samsung has also improved Ambient Sound  it has three levels, as usual, but now it comes with some AI that learns to adapt to the environment.

While the Buds+ had sensitive edges around the touch area, the Buds2 look better, have no rubber "wings" for the ear, and provide simpler gesture controls  press and hold is programmable, while one tap is Play/Pause, two taps are Next Song, and three taps are Previous Song
