Samsung - Buds2

I use a set of Galaxy Bud 2's and they're so comfortable and rarely need adjustment. They also have noise canceling. I haven't upgraded to the 3s yet because I hate airpod antennae and it looks like that's the path Samsung is going, too.

Shokz are the way to go while running. I use samsung buds 2 for gym.

I’ve got the same issue and I’m choosing the right model too. Here are options that match what you’re looking for: JLab JBuds Mini — among the tiniest (~3.3 g per bud); often a great fit for smaller ears. No ANC, but the ultra-compact shell means you’re unlikely to get rubbing.  Soundcore A20i — very small (~25 × 19 × 16 mm, ~5.2 g per bud); comfy and inexpensive. No ANC, but they tend to fit almost any ear.  Sony LinkBuds S (WF-LS900N) — lightweight (~4.8 g per bud) and one of the most comfortable with real ANC; small, rounded housing. If you want a quality sound + secure seal, this is the safest “premium” pick.  Alternative: Sony LinkBuds Fit (WF-LS910N) — even more comfort-oriented. The Air Fitting Supporters distribute contact inside the outer ear (no hooks; they don’t interfere with glasses). If your left concha (the bowl of your outer ear) is very small, these can help spread pressure away from sensitive spots. (~4.9 g per bud).  Sony WF-C700N / C710N — light (~4.6 g per bud on C700N), designed for small ears; ANC is decent. WF-C710N is the 2025 refresh with improved ANC/touch controls.  Samsung Galaxy Buds2 — very small, rounded capsule; comfortable with good sound and competent ANC. (Not the FE.) ~5.0 g per bud; 17.0 × 20.9 × 21.1 mm. 

Galaxy buds 2 Pro, had the standard Galaxy buds 2 before and tbh they're about the same .

Since I've been in the ecosystem for years, I've got and use the Galaxy Buds 2. Good clear audio, with ambient, no sound, and ANC modes, I use the no external sound mode as it does a brilliant job at stopping outside sounds and uses the least amount of power

Samsung Buds 2 pro, Buds 2 are very nice sounding, is last gen so very cheap, and is at par or even better than some other offerings from other brands.

i have some pretty crazy latency with my buds2 on the deck with the latest firmware, do you reckon it's just the pros that have such little lag?

I have too many myself. Method 360 anc, liberty nc, galaxy 2, Rail anc, 1st generation powerbeats pro and a box of others. Apart from more wired ones

Same here. With [memory foam tips.](https://a.co/d/5465UDl)

>Or mas seamless and worth it pag galaxy buds binili ko? Depends if you have other Samsung devices. Yung easy part sa Samsung buds is it can remember and switch between multiple Samsung devices on the same Samsung account. I still use my Galaxy Buds2 with my S24U. I see no reason to upgrade to the 3 or 3 Pro or even the 2 Pro. If isa lang naman Samsung device mo, it won't have true multipoint connectivity like the Soundcore. Akin kasi the only non-Samsung device I connect to the Buds is my laptop, so convenient sakin yung easy Samsung switching. There's also the sound signature, since the default sound of the Samsung buds tend to be closer to the Harman Curve neutral, while Soundcore is more "fun" and bassy.

No issues with my Galaxy Buds 2 either. If you've tried that many, and the same problem happens on all of them, have you considered the device you're connecting to might be the problem?

confused with how many people disliked the change in design from the samsung buds 2 to the buds 3 that the 3's are 2 spots higher up that list.

Not when the tozo crystal pods are only 19.99 and smoke most a the earbuds out there for sound and features that cost upwards of 300 dollars.... I say this while owning the galaxy buds 2 and 3 pro, sennheiser momentum 3 , and soundcore liberty 4 pro

I use the Samsung buds 2 when docked or some wired earbuds when playing undocked.

Personally I use Samsung Buds 2, they're really good so far

I like Asus computers but their other stuff can be iffy. Just to add some weight to this discussion though, I bought some Razer buds ages ago because they are supposed to make good peripherals, right? Wrong! They were terrible. Sound was good but they had poor range and I had to keep pairing them. Expensive garbage. So I gave them to my wife to use as they worked fine with her iPhone (but not my PC, wtf?), I got Galaxy Buds 2 which I've had for 3 years now with no issues.

Samsung buds 2 have good noise cancelling (even better than the buds 3). might find refurbished on Amazon for 60 ish

Galaxy buds 2 would be my recommendation for small ears

I use the external loops that hang on the ear but don't block my ear canal or obstruct my ability to converse. The sound is quite good, and I don't get irritation in my ear canal. Before I used Beats (hot and heavy), and Samsung Buds II (irritation in ear canal).

Samsung buds 2 or pro 2. I loved those but I havw accidentally gone throighb4 or 5 pairs because I keep losing the case, one earbud, or the entire thing.

The Buds Pro 3 are better than Airpods in every way except for build quality feeling slightly cheaper. I've owned Airpod Pros 1 and 2, and Galaxy Buds 2 and 3. The 3 are something else!

They are the most high quality, superior performing buds that i have ever experienced. I have owned the original galaxy buds and galaxy buds 2. These blow those away. I have never experienced clean, crisp sound like this before. I can't imagine anything ever beating these. The sound quality is just excellent.

Fe might be the best fit in most cases bcz it has wingtips buds3 and 3 pro quite similar to airpods3 and pro respectively, but the big stem might cause discomfort to some ppl. buds pro is the biggest and thickest one, most ppl dont go with it. buds 2 is the smallest but the most slippery pair. buds 2 pro is somewhere in between this duo. buds live is weirdly shaped, meant to be a competitor of normal airpods(comfy for most) but its long shape break its meaning buds 1 and buds+ are similar to fe, but you hardly find a new pair of them these days gear icon x same as buds 1.

Powerbeats Pro. I had Galaxy Buds 2. They wouldn't stay in my ear, the screens came off the first week, and the right one had the speaker just fall off one day. I tried Raycon. Absolute shite. Returned within 48 hours. Beats aren't perfect if there's a lot of ambient noise, but at least they stay in my ears.

Tried most of what is out there. Nothing beats the Galaxy Buds2 on comfort, specially if you like to sleep on your side with them.

I have all of them except for the FE. If you prioritise sound quality, go for the Buds 2 Pro. Only alternative (in terms of sound quality) are AKG N400 and Buds 2.

yea they are my backups since I misplaced a pair of Galaxy Buds2 I had.

just to note the buds2 were found on the side of the road while one of my family members went to work

the case is scuffed up but the earbuds work very good.

Edit:I have the Galaxy Buds2 now and they are good

They fall out when I sweat too much so I stopped using them

I actually have a pair of the plus and a pair of the (wannabe apple)2. I keep coming back to this form factor. Have even bought replacement earbuds on ebay.

i have the buds2, been using it since 2021, i love it

i think you dont own any of the mentioned brands above. since all of them have clearer audio and sound stage.. even galaxy buds 2 out perform CMF buds 2 pro in audio quality you can clearly hear bass and vocals in buds 2 but here vocals gets that bassy feel or you will have to sacrifice bass to get vocals.. there is no clear middle ground only place where CMF buds 2 can out perform is loudness. that too not good loudness it loses all clarity after like 70-80% loudness.. its like old MX player boosting audio to 200% and talking about fit. i changed all the tips and yet i can't find a perfect fit ( according to app) in one side.. and noise cancellation in cmf buds pro 2 is dog shit compared to above mentioned brand especially to samsung. im not samsung fan. but their buds these days are 🔥 and TBH comparing this to Samsungs and sonys of the world is unfair. this is a cheap earbuds and its exactly what it is!!

Galaxy Buds 2. I love them. Mine got pretty good battery life I haven't really had to use them for several hours at a time though. Think max I've used them were about 5 hours fully charged, and they still had life to them

I use galaxy buds 2 that came with my phone. Works decent enough.

I can believe that. I use Samsung Buds 2 and I can get a headache if I use the wrong size ear pieces. All anecdotal this of course.

How loud are those for the people around you? I have the Buds 2 and I have the problem, that people can hear what I'm listening to, even when its not very loud.

Right now I'm using about 3 regularly, maybe 4. that I use daily:   Samsung buds 2 -  My second pair now. The most comfortable earbuds I've ever used. They sound ok enough, but you forgive them because they're so comfortable. Bad microphone. Battery isn't amazing.    Soundcore liberty 4 Pro - I had the 4NC and lost them so bought these. They sound great ANC is great bad microphone, I don’t answer calls if I have these in. Great value just wish the mic was better.   Soundcore space Q45 Overear headphones - Really love these especially for the price. I still want a pair of Sonys but it's hard to justify when these are so great. They sound good, the microphone is good battery lasts forever. I have felt earcups from amazon. Love these.   I have the two pairs of buds for two main reasons, it's convenient to have another pair ready to go, when the one I've been using all day runs out of battery and when my ear get sore form a pair changing to another alleviates that discomfort. I use the overears if I'm doing a task like walking the dog or vacuuming and because I like to give my ear holes a bit of a break. When I want to use ANC I'd rather use an overear, I find it more comfortable. I have a nice pair of wired headphones I occasionally use as well as a pair of IEM's that I keep at work and use on occasion when I remember I have them. I am currently looking to get another pair of earbuds to use for phone calls, right now everyone I call says they can't hear me, it's very annoying.  Re-reading this, I think I have sensitive ears.   I would go the Sonys.

Yeah. I owned Buds 2 with iPhone and I had to use Windows PC to set them and update them xD however, they're sounded better with an iPhone than S21.

I use the Galaxy Buds2 on my Pixel 9 Pro.

The Galaxy buds 2 can be found for $50 and the 2Pro for 110-129. Fitment can be a challenge as they're really small, but you're getting alot for the price.

Depends on audio preference. For natural sound, the 2 seem to be WAY better tuned. But people with more "common" sound taste seem to vastly prefer the 3's.

They're the best style for me. I have a set of Galaxy Buds 2 and they constantly fall out.

i used galaxy buds+ for a few years, use for jogging as well then i got the buds 2. still using it 2 years later. bought it for rm199 from a reputable shopee seller you can check this link, i see got buds 3 for rm220...maybe will reduce to below 200 for 7.7 sale good luck.

I've been using the Samsung buds 2, they don't fly out of my ears and the noise cancelation is immense.

I use my razer blackshark v2 headphones. Since I usually just play at home, i prefer using headphones. When I go out, however, I just use my galaxy buds 2 and I don’t encounter any lag in the sounds but I do have problems with the mic input whenever I go on discord as my voice is usually low.

Beats solo 4s or galaxy buds2 both work just fine never have connectivity issues

I've tried the Samsung and Google ones and both come with a rubber thingy that wedges in your ear and both stay in while I run. I think the models are Galaxy Buds and Pixel Buds (neither is a pro version)

Galaxy buds 2. I got mine refurbished on best buy for $75 last year. They work great under a pair of hearing protection (plastic, metal will trip the magnet and turn the headphone off) Im listening to a book on tape over my machines.

I absolutely loved my Buds 2. About two weeks ago, I was on a boat, and one of them fell out of my ear and plopped into the Aegean Sea. I am now enjoying my new Buds FE.

I had Vita for about 3 weeks now. As for wired earphones I use cheap Sony MDR-EX15, they have good sound and are quite comfortable, I've been using them for many years and they are still as new. I don't use large over-head headphones for handhelds except for Steam Deck, because they have higher power consumption, I tried using them with N3DSXL but I had to put volume higher compared to the Sony ones and it felt like the battery drains faster. I was surprised how well bluetooth Galaxy Buds 2 work with Vita, even the volume control on them works. Yes, there's a delay but I played Gravity Rush, Ys 1, Tearaway and Trails in the Sky FC with no problem, but of course rhythm games can be a problem or if you're more sensitive to sound delay, I'm used to it. Edit: large headphones are ok if they are wireless

I'm not sure how they did it but the anc is generally worse than the Galaxy buds 2. However, if you're not using anc much these sound much better and can consistently give a better seal than the 2s. Also the microphone quality is close to best on market even with a noisy environment.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. Simple, yet eff3xt8vr and the noise suppression/canceling works well. It's great to have since I can just charge it on my phone or steamdeck on the go.

Samsung Galaxy buds 3 or 2. You can easily find them in many online stores for well below 2k

I've had my Buds 2 for over two years with a daily use of ~2-3 hours, still look and work as brand new. Probably the battery has deteriorated a bit but I do not notice it.

I've been using Galaxy Buds 2 for the past few years, any idea how it compares?

Lowest profile & comfortable buds with active noise cancelling that I've tried, that work for me to side-sleep, are Samsung Buds2 & Pro. All of the rest protrude enough that they put pressure on. But if you're not a side-sleeper, anything with active noise cancelling will work.

To be honest. I've had a lot of different brands. These I have to turn the treble all the way down on. In my opinion the Samsung Galaxy buds 2 that I had were much better. Had better sound and features like atmos and head tracking. The noise cancelling on the Samsung was much better. With these I can still hear outside noises no matter what size ear tips I put in. I don't know how the newer Galaxy buds 3 are but I've been looking into trading these in for a while now. The galaxy buds had more settings and modes also different transparency levels.

oh good to know. I really hate my samsung earbuds. I can't wait for them to break lol. I almost prefer my jabra elite 3, though the case is almost broken in half (it still charges!!!).

Similar situation, I had the buds FE which sadly broke. Replaced them with the Buds 2 and they're fantastic and like half the price of the Buds 2 Pro in the UK at least

The Buds 2 were a massive upgrade in sound quality, active noise cancelling, and comfort for me.

I use Samsung buds2, or surface headphones

Yeah I would definitely go for them if not for the loss of wireless charging. Use them a lot with my current galaxy buds 2. It's a shame one plus only added them with the pro models, unlike Samsung

I had a HUGE allergy to these. I would get wet/weaping itchy skin and days later flaking off skin layers. Something in these and JBL tune buds and galaxy buds 2 have been causing issues for me. Apple and sony and ALL other bose sets have been fine. I feel they have either uncured acrylates or a bad mixture of silicone/rubber because I could detect no nickel in the buds externally. I gave it a try after letting my ears to heal for 2 weeks and the symptoms returned after trying the buds. I have the red color if wondering… I wish these companies would test their products because sony,apple, b&o and many cheap buds have been fine but literally ALL JBL and Samsung buds (except live and Galaxy Buds Pro 3) cause issues for me.. Now I think these need to be added to the list of buds affecting allergy sufferers to Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 pro and JBL Tune Buds (look it up)

Just swapped from Galaxy buds 2 and I must say the difference in sound is striking. ANC is noticeably better but it’s not groundbreaking. Sound on and off ANC is bass heavy saying lightly overpowering mid vocals. Nothing that update wouldn’t fix. In conclusion I would recommend if it’s your fist spin in Apple land but keep in mind you could have something super close to this for fraction of the price

xiaomi buds 5, samsung galaxy buds 2 and huawei freebuds 5, or the airpods 4 anc.

samsung galaxy buds 2 pro. the buds 2 (non pro) are also still good. buds 3 is worth considering but its price is a bit high for my liking. however, regardless of what you buy, depending on your ear, the tips may need to be replaced for it to give you good sound. so the only way to know is to perhaps try one at a store

I had them. The ear shape is really important here. They kept falling out whenever I was doing basic things, let alone skating. Switched to Sony Linkbuds S. They sit tight

Galaxy buds 2 but I only use then for the gym. For daily prefer iems

I'm hard on stuff and I have a pair of Samsung buds 2 and a pair of buds pro2 and I've put hundreds of hours on each and I lose them, drop them, dirty and wash them lots. Im in a dirty industry. Tracker works good unless the case is closed, that's why i need a backup. I'm not an audiophile but they're loud and bassy enough for me for buds. Had both pairs a couple years, buds maybe coming up on 3. Ive had one fall out of a motorcycle helmet and gone back and found it. I would have gone through more cheap pairs without the Samsung tracker and the anc works good.

I'm usimgGalaxy buds 2, its amazing.

Galaxy buds 2. Just wish the battery life was longer.

Grab a pair of airpod pros or whatever your phones associated earbuds are. Theyre way better than people give credit for. My galaxybuds 2 have more soundstage and nearly as much detail as my truth ear hexa iems over ldac

I've had my Galaxy Buds 2 for at least 5 years. One went through the wash and still works. So easy to use, and fits great in my small ears, so comfortable.

Never really tried the high end before, the most expensive pair I've ever owned are galaxy buds 2. I've tried a couple of budget buds too, Space Travel, Tanchjim Mino, CMF plus 2, and a free oneplus nord 2r. Honestly sounds wise they are all decent to good in their own way. The more expensive one usually seems to have better battery life, anc, and other fluff features that I didn't use. I'm pretty satisfied that I didn't seek out to try those higher priced buds.

If u really care about the sound then it's better to buy an IEM instead of wireless buds. I have the Galaxy buds 2 and the salnotes 7hz zero iem and sound quality wise the IEM is always ahead of the buds 2

My Galaxy Buds 2 has really good range as long as I'm in an open area. I'm talking 100 feet at the very least. I've gone pretty far from my phone during lines.

Because they do. At least mine do because I think I got a lemon not long before the Buds 3 quality debacle that happened after the initial release. Thats why whenever I need something to listen to for long stretches of work, I pull out the Buds 2 and they not only sound better, but even after 2 years they only have minor wear and work beautifully with very little degradation to battery life.

I’ve tried a few pairs, not any of the ones shown but mainly the beyerdynamics free bird. Sennheiser momentum 3 and4 and the Samsung galaxy buds 2. The momentum’s sound better to me than the other two. Battery life is really good anc got better on the 4 and they don’t have a true eq but there is a sound personalization thing that works pretty well. They would be my recommendation

Been using buds 2 until now I accidentally left it inside a washing machine and it still works after leaving it out to dry! Absolute tanks

Mine has no issue but the right one for some reason doesn't charge properly in the case until you "force it" to charge up

Galaxy buds 2 are tiny and good. No wing though

I've had two different generations of Galaxy Buds (the Buds+ and then the Buds 2) and both have been incredibly comfortable I wear both for entire shifts at work and they are wonderful. The buds 2 have a slightly shorter better life (but better all around) but they charge up a lot faster from the case than the older style

I ended up losing the bass on the left side. Took them apart, cleaned them, but I never got it back. Fantastic headphones.

I have used galaxy buds 2 for probably 3 years now, work great but I do hate the material that the case is made out of. It gets sticky over time, just put a silicone case on

Amazon has a deal 139.00 for 3 with 2cyear amazon warranty I have the 2 and the pro the 3 are amazing and I had no issues so far still using factory eartips ordering 2 kinds of new tips this weekend but see if amazon still has the deal

I made this change and don't regret it at all. Got the 3 pros for $100 after trade in. Getting them for $100 and keeping the 2s as a backup is a steal imo

I have buds 2, but apparently, everyone is complaining about how they can hear annoying noises

Sony WH1000XM4, Airpods Pro and non-Pro, Galaxy Buds (1, 2, and 2 Pro), some random cheap chinese TWS (Xiaomi, QCY, etc.) You can spot them in public transport and while you walk down the city. Airpods (Pro and non-Pro) are definitely the most popular, XM4 is second, random TWS is 3rd, and Galaxy Buds are in the last place.

Yes, Buds 2 is really nice, even though I'm not a big fan of the stock tuning (Harman in general). I find a "clear" preset to be much better, although, as I fell in love with my HD660S2, I EQ'ed my Buds to achieve similar sound signature to those cans. Otherwise, it's a great TWS whose only problem (at least for me) is the short nozzle, which requires specific eartips (like SpinFit CP1025, which I use).

My galaxy buds 2 don't, that's why I'm asking.

I use the Buds2 and they never dissappoint, likely the newer ones are even better I also sometimes use Arctis Nova 5 when I'm home, but thats full on headphones and not buds

Samsung Galaxy buds 2 are very small and light weight, they stay in my ears fine. As long as they're not uncomfortable in your ears you might be able to get your existing buds to stay in better with different ear tips. If the tips aren't the right size that could be the whole problem 

I'm currently using the Samsung Galaxy buds 2, and I really like them. They sound good and stay in my ears pretty well too.

depends on the pricing, but if you can get the buds 2 or buds 2 pro for a reasonable price (not sure nowadays as i got mine right at the end of the product cycle so it was pretty cheap(120sgd for the 2 pro) ) they are amazing

I can vouch for the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 & 2 Pro. Only neutral wireless earbuds I've experienced

I washed my Buds 2 by accident and tried everything on the market. Even the Buds 3 Pro which were too warm like most buds. Blind ordered the Buds 2 Pro without testing, no regrets

I've been using a pair of samsung buds 2 (i think?) That i got free with my phone a couple years back. Can't fault them on anything and as a bonus i accidentally put them through the washing machine and they still work 😅👌

A pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2s. Works way better than you'd expect.

Samsung Buds series, idk about the new ones but I can vouch for Samsung 2 and Buds 2 Pro. Balanced sound, and should last 3-4 days before you charge the case. I have mine (Buds2) -for three years now and still uses it for ~4-6 hours daily. It degraded tho, from 3-4 days, around 2-3 days na lang ngayon. But still, for 3k, its good, man

Not the 3. I use the 2. It works best if I put a hairband over my ears just so I can pull the helmet on quick and clean.

I just hate how every single pair of "pro" buds they've come out with have been so uncomfortable to wear. The buds 2, original buds, and the buds fe have been the most comfortable, especially with the wingtips. Doesn't matter how great the pros are on the tech side of incant stand to wear them for more than 10 mins at a time.

I bought Samsung galaxy buds 2 about 3 years ago for 24k , they’re still working in a great condition.

I use Bose QC2 headphones at home, when I’m out I use my AirPods Pro. Both are great but my Bose are getting on a bit and are 6 years old, so their battery life is not what it once was. I also have Galaxy buds with noise cancelling that are really good but I have an iPhone so AirPods are just easier.
