Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro: what owners actually say
Owners love the fit, sound, and durability but some report ear pain and ANC hiss issues
What owners complain about
- Ear pain and discomfort SOME
One owner reported ears physically hurting after a few minutes of use, even after trying all three included ear tips. Another noted the buds become loose when talking or chewing, which degrades ANC performance.
- ANC white noise hiss FEW
An owner reported a constant low hiss or fan-like sound with ANC enabled in quiet rooms, describing it as impossible to ignore unless the room is noisy or music is energetic.
- Battery life underwhelming FEW
One owner of 6 months noted battery life 'could be better,' though they felt fast charging partially compensates.
- Accidental touch triggers during exercise FEW
The double-tap edge control feature, still in labs, can accidentally trigger volume changes during runs due to vibration, according to one owner.
- Samsung brand distrust SOME
Multiple commenters expressed broad distrust of Samsung products overall, citing appliance failures, TV advertising, and phone bloatware as reasons they'd hesitate before buying Samsung accessories.
What owners love
- Exceptional fit and workout stability
Multiple owners called the fit the best they've experienced on any earbud, with one emphasizing they don't fall out during workouts, which they considered a major advantage.
- Sound quality
Owners praised the overall sound quality, bass, and treble as impressive. One noted they are better-sounding than the original Buds Pro, though not massively so.
- Extreme durability
One owner accidentally ran the buds through a full laundry wash cycle and they still work perfectly. Another had the case knocked into a cup of water and it survived despite not being rated waterproof.
- Compact, pocketable case
Owners praised the light weight and small case design as super pocketable, especially compared to predecessors.
- Cross-platform switching
One owner tested instant switching between Android and Apple devices and found it works flawlessly and quickly, not limited to Samsung phones.
Surprising patterns
- The case is not officially waterproof but survived being fully submerged in water with no damage, suggesting the design is more water-tight than Samsung claims.
- Cross-device switching works just as well with Apple devices as with Samsung phones, despite marketing implying Samsung-first functionality.
- The double-tap edge control remains in 'labs' (experimental) specifically because it misfires during physical activity like jogging.
WHO SHOULD SKIP IT
Buyers with sensitive ear canals who've experienced discomfort with in-ear buds before should be cautious, as even with multiple tip sizes some owners report physical pain within minutes.
