Samsung Galaxy Buds2 True Wireless Earbud
The dual dynamic drivers produce punchy bass and clear instrument detail, paired with Active Noise Cancellation for immersive listening. Three microphones with noise cancellation and an Ambient Sound mode maintain voice clarity during calls, though the 20.5 fitness score limits workout use. These earbuds suit Samsung phone users prioritizing clear hands-free calling and everyday audio over exercise durability.

Le prove
Performance
The sound surprised us most. Two dynamic drivers push out a warm, bass-forward signature that makes playlists feel alive, and our database puts it well above average for this price bracket. ANC is a standout too, ranking near the top of the charts and blocking out the kind of low hum that ruins commutes. Battery life is solid at 7.5 hours per charge with 20.5 more in the case, and that 5-minute quick charge for an hour of playback has saved us more than once. But comfort is the weak spot. The 30th percentile ranking tells the real story: if your ears run small, these might not stay put, and there are no wing tips to help.

vs Competition
Against the Sony WF-1000XM6, the Buds2 lose on raw ANC power and sound refinement, but they cost a fraction of the price. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are more comfortable and have better ambient mode, but again, you're paying a serious premium. The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are the obvious pick for iPhone users, but if you're on Android, especially Samsung, the Buds2 integrate more cleanly. The Technics EAH-AZ100 are a sleeper pick for audiophiles, but they're harder to find and pricier. For most people, the Buds2 hit the sweet spot of price, features, and everyday usability.

Prezzo
Value & Pricing
At USD 129 to USD 200 depending on where you look, these are a steal at the low end and a tougher sell at the top. Newegg has the best deal right now, and at that price the Buds2 embarrass plenty of pricier options. In Mexico the spread is MXN 2,676 to MXN 2,971, so shop around before you commit. For the money, you're getting ANC, solid battery, and sound that feels premium. That's hard to beat.

Overview
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 are the rare budget earbuds that don't feel like a compromise. You get genuinely good ANC, a comfortable low-profile design, and sound that punches above its price. The one thing to know? If you have a Samsung phone, these are a no-brainer. If you don't, you're leaving some of the best features on the table.
Common Questions
Q: I have small ears and usually nothing stays in. Will these fall out?
Honestly, it's a coin flip. The Buds2 are smaller than the Buds Plus, which helps, but there are no wing tips to lock them in. If you've struggled with other earbuds, try them somewhere with a good return policy. If they don't fit, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra have a much more forgiving shape.
Q: Can I use one earbud at a time while the other charges?
Yes, you can absolutely use just the left or just the right bud while the other one sits in the case charging. It's a great trick for stretching battery life on long days.
Q: Do the earbuds have volume controls on them, or do I need my phone?
The touch controls on the buds handle play/pause, track skipping, and ANC modes, but volume is controlled from your phone or watch. You can customize the touch controls in the Galaxy Wearable app, but volume isn't one of the options.
Who Should Skip This
If you have small ears or have struggled with earbud fit before, these probably aren't for you. No wing tips and a comfort ranking near the bottom of our database mean you'll be fighting them all day. Go grab the Bose QuietComfort Ultra instead, they're built for actual human ear variety. And if you're deep in the Apple ecosystem, just get the AirPods Pro 3, the Buds2's best features are wasted on an iPhone.
Verdict
The Galaxy Buds2 are the best value in true wireless earbuds right now, full stop. They're not perfect, comfort is a real concern for some, and the lack of wireless charging stings. But the ANC, sound, and battery life you get for this price is frankly a little absurd. If you're on a Samsung phone, buy them. If you're on another Android, still buy them. If you're on iPhone, get the AirPods Pro 3 and don't look back.
