Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Review ๐งต
Got these about a month ago
So here are my opinions on these premium TWS
*Please note that I don't have a Samsung Phone so I couldn't test the Samsung Seamless Codec*
I'll be giving points out of 10 in each category..

Because I've also used the first gen Galaxy Buds Pro for a while.... I'll be comparing them
Just to give an idea
And btw I mostly used Apple Music during my testing period
Even though it supports Lossless Audio
The buds with my non Samsung device only support AAC codec

I bought these for about 9,500 INR
Including the bank offers and discounts
And let's just say that it's one of the best TWS at that price (if not THE BEST)

Design - 8.8/10
These buds and the case are well built and have a nice matte finish that doesn't attract scratches or smudges and that's nice
But because the buds are small, stemless and have a matte finish, they're very slippery!
(Not in ears but while putting in and out)

The buds do have IPX7 rating so you can submerge them in water, take a shower with them (if you're that crazy person)
And just mentioning that they're smaller as compared to the first gen Galaxy Buds Pro (about 15% smaller according to samsung).

Fit and Comfort - 8.2/10
Now this is a very subjective part of the review because the fit and comfort differs from person to person
For me, it's been pretty good, easily I can say that these are the best buds in terms of fit that Samsung has ever made

They don't fall off while running or doing any workouts
But it's just that sometimes I'm like constantly pushing them in because I get this feeling that they're not perfectly in my ear even when they are...
So maybe that's my problem but just wanted to mention that

Because they're smaller than the first gen Galaxy Buds Pro and have 'Round shaped' silicon tips as compared to the 'Oval shaped' ones on the first gen Buds Pro
They fit a wide range of different ear sizes and are comfortable enough so you can wear them for 3-4hrs easily

ANC - 8.6/10
ANC is good on these buds ....infact they're very good
But I just feel there are TWS in the market with way better ANC like the Airpods Pro 2
The ANC on these buds are good enough if you're traveling in metro or bus or anything
But...

But...
Like most other TWS with ANC , they also struggle with irregular frequencies like people talking or car horn or something
But it's still good...
Just to give an idea...the ANC on the Buds 2 Pro roughly cuts out 25% more noise than the first gen Buds Pro
But it's still good...

Transparency - 8.9/10
Yeah I hear you "it's not as good as Airpods"
But trust me, this time Samsung nailed it
You ever felt like when you're speaking while wearing any TWS your voice sounds robotic to your ears?
Well that doesn't happen here....

I feel like the transparency mode is getting better and better
The Buds Pro have that thing where I sound robotic to my own ears in the transparency mode
But not with these....good job samsung
everything works like a charm...you forget you're wearing TWS ... it's that good

Sound - 9.2/10
Now the problem with the first gen Buds Pro (atleast to me) was that they used to sound a little dark and didn't have the best clarity in the vocals
But with these Buds, Samsung just fixed everything I had a problem with
The vocals are very clear...

The instrument separation is very nice, the overall clarity in the upper mid and treble region is done very well, it doesn't sound sharp or anything (atleast to me)
It's a very fun experience if you like to listen to a lot of Pop or even Arijit type of songs (IYKYK)

Now there's one catch...which isn't a too big of a deal but I felt like I should mention it here
In order to make the Buds 2 Pro smaller than the Buds Pro, they had to trim down the size of the drivers from 11mm to 10mm

I feel that because of that and the change in the tuning...
It resulted in a not so strong bass attack
Now don't get me wrong...the bass on this thing is very good! But I feel that compared to the first gen Buds Pro... it's a slight of a Nerf

The mid bass is fine but it's the sub bass where I feel it could have been a little better....
But it's not too much of a deal and considering all the good things, I'm not really complaining

Connectivity - 8.4/10
There have been instances where I have felt where the sound is only coming from one earbud but it fixes within seconds
Maybe it's because I use a Nothing Phone (1) and not a Samsung Phone
So I can't really say anything about that
Rest all good

Battery life on the Buds - 8.7/10
Battery life on the Case - 6.8/10
The Buds easily give me around 6-7hrs of playback with ANC off
And anywhere about 4.5-5hrs with ANC on
Which is good enough imo
But the problem is with the case
It barely charge.the buds 2-2.5 times

I really think the battery life on the Case could have been better
But anyways
I think the battery on the buds matters more.
The buds and the case take roughly 2hrs to charge
And can charge through your phone if it supports Reverse Wireless Charging

Overall - 8.6/10
I think these are hands-down the best TWS money can buy under 10k INR if you have a Samsung Phone
Even if you don't have one (like me) they're still one of the best.
I really wish they didn't make the Seamless Codec exclusive to samsung phones but I understand..

I forgot to mention the Microphone quality
It's one of the best mic quality on any pair of TWS I've personally used but don't expect Airpods level of Mics on these...
