The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are wireless headphones that are characterized by their active noise cancellation technology , something that we had already seen in the brand’s previous model. However, unlike the first ones, the new version has a tool called ‘Auto Switch’ that allows you to connect them to several devices at the same time.
The device has a water resistance with IPX7 certification . That is, the Buds 2 Pro are splash, rain, snow, drizzle and sweat proof (very useful if you use them for sports). Likewise, it also resists small immersions that, although it is advisable to avoid, could happen in the event of an accidental fall.
These new wireless headphones from Samsung, with great technological improvements that aim to increase their quality in design and sound, can be obtained for 239.90 euros (although they are now discounted on Amazon).
The design of the Buds 2 Pro
The devices are available in three colours: graphite (black/grey), borapurple (pastel lilac) and white. In addition, the technological brand ensures that more than 90% of its material is recycled .

Its developers sought to create a design that stood out for being more ergonomic and reduced its size by 15% compared to its predecessors, with dimensions of 19.9 × 21.6 × 18.7 mm and a weight of 5.5 g. headphones and 50.1 × 50.2 × 27.7 mm and 43.4 g the case.
In short, they worked so that the shape of this new generation would adapt to the ear, without the user having to put pressure on the ear canal. However, after the 20BITS test, we consider that the adjustment is not as precise as promised and, depending on the ear, attention must be paid so that it does not fall out.
The audio quality of the Buds 2 Pro
ANC (noise cancellation) technology is one of the topics that is most often raised when talking about Samsung’s wireless headphones and it is not for less, since when using the Buds 2 Pro users can enjoy their listening practically without hearing anything from the outside .
Samsung has built in 3 high signal to noise ratio microphones. Through this technology, the brand’s team has made the Buds 2 Pro track and eliminate outside sound , even the most imperceptible by other headphones, such as the wind.
However, if there is a conversation nearby, Voice Detect technology deactivates the ANC so that you can hear what they are saying.
On the other hand, the Buds 2 Pro have Audio 360 algorithms with direct multichannel and Dolby Head Tracking , which locates the direction of sound depending on the movement of the head. With these tools, the headset provides a fully immersive spatial experience.

Despite its light weight and size, the interior of the headphones has 2-way speakers that result in a wide sound frequency, a bass speaker for the lowest tones and a treble speaker for the highest.
The autonomy of the Buds 2 Pro
The earbuds’ battery is 61mAh per earbud, which translates to around 5 hours with ANC on and around 8 hours with it off.
For its part, the case has 515 mAh which is equivalent to about 18 hours of listening with noise cancellation on and about 29 hours with the feature disabled .
How to use Auto Switch?
The Auto Switch function mentioned above allows users to connect their headphones to multiple devices at the same time . This tool consumes the battery faster than using a single device, but it is very effective so that you do not have to change the Bluetooth connection if you use the tablet, mobile phone and computer at the same time, for example.

With this technology, in the hypothetical case that a movie is being viewed with the Buds 2 Pro on and they call on the phone, they will stop the video so that the call can be answered.
Find the headphones with the mobile
The Buds 2 Pro connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth, but can also be configured with some apps like SmartThing Find . With it, users can find the location of their headphones in case they lose them.
When using this app, if they move away from the Buds 2 Pro, the phone will notify them that they are moving away and an alarm will sound. In this way, the owners will not inadvertently forget about them.
Score: 9.4
- THE BEST: active noise cancellation and sound quality. THE WORST: the price is not suitable for everyone’s pocket.
