Review on Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Wireless Headphones, black by Kiril Darakchiiski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I almost instantly purchased the headphones once they were announced. I had been planning to use buds pro for a long time, but after trying them on with various ear cushions, I knew I would need to hunt for something else because they kept falling out of my ears. In overall, it seems to me that the Buds 2 headphones are suitable for many people who enjoy in-ear headphones. They are lighter and smaller than the Buds Pro, but the difference between the two is only 1.5g, but it is noticeable in the ears. In any event, I urge you to test out these headphones first, play about with the features, and see how well they function with your phone. With Samsung phones, all attachments function flawlessly, however there may be issues with devices made by other manufacturers.

Pros
  • I'm unable to comment on the rest, but Samsung cellphones (using its own codec) provide good sound. Nice and tidy design; previous Buds Pros appeared more dull. Although the black hue of the Buds 2 is actually a dark gray and doesn't sound all that great, it looks surprisingly decent against the white case. With the right dexterity, you can adjust the headphones without touching the sensor because it is adequate, comfortable, and doesn't cover the full surface. You can adjust the level, alter the music, switch between noise-canceling modes, even take a call right from the headphones themselves if you so want. It was intriguing to incorporate a volume change; to do so, press two taps just below the sensor itself. At first, I wasn't sure how it functioned or even whether it functioned at all, but you can switch the track and adjust the level by pressing two taps. And strangely, this combo works nicely. The noise canceler performed admirably during the three-hour drive, behaving ordinarily in ordinary use. The wind is muffled but powerful gusts are still audible, as are other noises like the sound of rain or anything similar. Frequencies that neutralize noise are not powerful enough. The most recent version of ate has settings for transparency, allowing you to select the transmitted tone (soft-clean) and intensity. If I remember correctly, 9 ms in daily life equaled around 30. Everything is audible with transparency, including voices and everyday sounds. There are tiny distortions and "digitalization" of the sound, but it's interesting to see which headphones don't. When recording audio (not all messengers offer recording from headphones), the microphones are good, the sound via a regular connection is clear, and the voice is written even better than from a phone.
Cons
  • Although a set of sensors allows you to implement these functionalities with a vengeance and everything functions without any issues for less expensive competitors, there is no autopause when one earbud is removed, it only works when both are removed, and there is no autoplay at all. For me, this feature is insufficient because it is inconvenient to remove the earpiece, pause the music, and then talk—so the Samsung gets a huge zero for this. There are two tiny holes for the microphone on the exterior of the headphones, where the sensor is located. I have a strong suspicion that these holes will clog up over time, especially if you use the sensor frequently and frequently paw the headphones. It is unclear how the microphones will act in this scenario.
