Samsung has launched a product fireworks display today and, in addition to smartphones and watches, also released the Galaxy Buds2. The highlights of Samsung's new in-ears are now ANC and longer battery life for the first time.
The first Samsung Galaxy Buds were introduced in 2019 - since then Samsung has introduced many more Buds. The Buds Live and Buds Pro were created as further product ranges. However, there has not yet been a direct successor to the original Galaxy Buds. Now the "2" is finally coming behind the Buds, which are intended to put their predecessors in the shade.

If you see the new box of the Galaxy Buds2, you immediately notice the more compact design of the headphones. The new buds can now be found in the 50,0 x 50,2 x 27,8 mm large housing space. Even a single piece - I'll call it "Bud" - weighs 5 grams, with dimensions of 17,0 x 20,9 x 21,1 mm. That wasn't particularly exciting yet. The new function of the ANC, which is supposed to last for five hours when switched on, and up to 20 hours when recharged in the case is more interesting. If noise canceling is deactivated, up to 7,5 hours in Bluetooth + an additional 21,5 hours via the housing (a total of 29 hours) are achieved.
The headphones can be charged wirelessly - a charging time of just five minutes should be enough for music enjoyment of up to an hour. The Buds2 are compatible with any smartphone from Android 7 or iOS 10. The Buds2 also have three microphones installed for phone calls, and the sound is output via two loudspeakers per headphones. Answering calls or controlling music is still possible using tapping gestures.
The Buds2 are priced at 149 euros. The pre-orders are now possible in the colors white, graphite, olive or lavender.
