Wanted to love these, as I loved my original pair. But sound quality went down, and the noise canceling feature is so poor it's frustrating. Charging case was only positive change. But not worth it. Already looking for another replacement option.

Moteau - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I review technology for a living. I got these to replace the original Galaxy Buds I had that began to have faint noises on the right ear. These things face a concerning amount of interference if you walk outside after it rains, near large(read: 16 oz) bottles of liquid. To make sure it wasn't just my phone, I attached the old earbuds to it as well; the one working properly did not have interference. There is a cheaper option you can get that may work better.

Hi Moteau, we appreciate your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy Buds2. We completely sympathize with the importance of the audio quality of your device and we'd be happy to help troubleshoot this matter in any way we can.

My first time purchasing ear buds of any kind and I'd figure it's best to go with the brand of the phone. First I thought something was wrong with the left ear bud but it wasn't charged. When you first open them let them charge fully before trying. They were easy to pair and sound great. Satisfied.

The noise blocking works really well on these. The sound quality is amazing! The only thing I do not like is their rounded shape is hard to grab. They are otherwise exceptional.

Courtney R - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I saw mixed reviews all over the internet about earbuds and their compatibility with MS Teams. Since I mainly need these for work, that was a must. I took a chance on the Samsung Galaxy Buds, since I have a Samsung phone as well. These are great for what I need them for. They pair to Teams fine (you just need to pay attention to your settings), and I can easily toggle between my phone for music and my laptop for a meeting. Range is great, too. I can walk to the break room for coffee and not lose connection - maybe 20ish feet. Call quality is great. No complaints from people on calls with me. I sound clear and the background noise is minimal. For the office environment, these are a 10/10.

Does not fit in the ear at all. Always falling out. Noise cancelation is awesome. Sound quality is awesome but they are always falling out of my ear. I use to have an iPhone so u just use my apple air pods with my galaxy phone. Never have to worry about them falling out my ear.
