I acquired a pair last week. I like them better than Apple AirPods pro even though you can only play and pause music(you can’t skip to the next track by tapping the ear buds at least not with a iPhone) other than that there great
I would recommend this to a friend!

Falls Out Constantly and Poor Ergonomic Design

Unfortunately, I can't recommend these earbuds to anyone who moves more than someone that sits down all day doing work.
The microphone quality sounds great to others on the receiving end of phone calls made through these Buds, and they have good sound quality. However, the sound quality is truly no better than the Galaxy Buds+ which were released over 3 years ago. The active noise cancellation is some of the best on the market, I'll give them that. Though, the Buds 2 Pro's other fancy features like head tracking for 360-degree simulated audio, and 24-bit hi-fi audio are not worth this price point.
The biggest issue I and many others have is the design of the bud itself, causing the bud to fall out of your ear if you tip your head even slightly to one side or jump up and down just a little bit. Forget trying to run with these, as you'll probably get only a few steps before they fall out. The biggest mistake Samsung made was removing the wing feature they've had on older buds, which allowed users to customize the size of the wing to fit their ear. The rubber tips also aren't the best, compared to previous years, these tips cave in on themselves more, mostly due to the thinner design of them.
Another issue I and others have with the Buds 2 Pro is the touch controls being too sensitive to anything, if you have long hair or oddly shaped ears, or even shift your head too quickly, the Buds will think you tapped them and mess up whatever you're listening to, thus I have the tap feature disabled from the Wear app.
I'm a diehard Samsung product buyer, but unfortunately these Buds are the worst product I've ever purchased from them and wait for when they release an improved, or even vastly different model in the future, maybe even headphones would be better than these.
Lastly, I may as well at least share one piece of advice for current owners or those who are still going to buy after reading this review. Online it may say that you can't find these earbuds if they're still in the case, that's only partially true. If you lose them and leave the vicinity where they're no longer connectable via Bluetooth, then yes, they're pretty much as good as gone, as the case needs to be opened or the buds need to have fallen out for another Samsung device with Smartthings to ping their location. But if you're close enough to them where Bluetooth will work, you're able to forcefully make them beep a loud sound constantly until you find them EVEN while they're still in the case, otherwise you could also use your newer Samsung phones (22 and up) to activate AR mode and find them with your camera instead.
Overall my rating stands at 2/5 because they're more of a hassle than a utility. Sorry for the long review and for any possible typos or grammatical errors.

Hello BB0916, thank you for your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. Firstly we can address the 24-bit audio quality you mentioned. While the buds are capable of using 24-bit audio to play depending upon the media you are attempting to listen to it may only play in 16-bit audio as the default settings as this is the most common audio quality. With regards to the fit of your buds, after trying all the different tip sizes and performing a fit test if you are still experiencing difficulty, we do have available on our website a foam tip that is compatible with this device to help you get the most secure fit. We have also provided a link to the Samsung Support Team for any additional assistance in adjusting the settings of your buds to best suit your needs. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger Twitter smsng.us/Twitter-Messages

Loose fit
on April 15, 2023
Posted by: Momo

Expertise:Expert
I have a set of older Buds and Buds+. I got these new Buds2 pro with my s23 ultra purchase and regret choosing these with my credit. They do have a good sound and battery life but the form factor with the bump in the body results in very loose feeling fit. The bump causes the earbud body to pull away from the ear and the noise isolation is reduced. They are not that loose but will fall out with vigorous activity at the gym so I have to use my older buds for gym now and reserve these for the office.

I've had this for maybe half a year now. And I'd like to say they're the best headphones made by Samsung. The only issue is have with them is the same reason I bought them from my previous headphones. The mic of the ear buds get covered in dust and they're so tiny I can't find a way to clean them. My feedback would be to find a way to prevent this or create something to clean them.

I'm really regretting trading in my my old Galaxy Buds for these. While the sound and noise cancelling are great, these things are SO uncomfortable. Maybe they work fine for people with larger ears, but for me, I think it's actually the very tiny seam between the inner and outer part that starts to cut into the ear. Why they had to change from the previous design, where you could customize the fit with different sized rubber pieces inside the concha part of the ear, baffles me. Seriously thinking of getting rid of them and going back to the older style. A waste of money.
