REVIEW: Galaxy Buds2 Pro combines aesthetics and quality very efficiently

When it comes to headphones, consumers have at their disposal a series of products from different categories. With regard to headphones wireless, that is, wireless, the offer is even more striking. The technologies of these devices have evolved, in addition to being launched with increasingly refined finishes.

Another product of this segment developed by Samsung is for sale on the market. It is about Galaxy Buds2 Pro, the company's new premium headphone jack. A year after the first generation Pro, this product promises to win over users not only by the ears, but also by the eyes.

O showmetech tested the devices and has all the details below.

Design

One very visible thing in the strategy of the Samsung is the choice to create products with an ultramodern design. the recent Galaxy Z Flip4 5G doesn't let us lie — even this is the smartphone's greatest triumph in innovation. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro follows the mobile color palette. The difference now is that he is much more polished than his predecessor.

The headphones are sold in a box that already points to a significant change: they are smaller. The comfort zone was expanded with a 15% reduction in the size of each device. Plus, they weigh just 5.5g. Its ergonomics are more efficient, adapting better to the shape of each user's ear.

Available in white, black and violet, it's hard not to fall in love with its compact appearance. The saying that “a book is not judged by its cover” is true. But here, both the cover and the content proved to be attractive and of high quality.

Samsung headphones are also IPX7 certified, which promotes water resistance against sweat and splashes, something that is already common in the company's catalog. With a comfortable and practical fit, the best is yet to come.

Usage and connectivity

The daily process is simple: the user opens the Galaxy Buds2 Pro case to plug in the headphones and connect it to a device via bluetooth. When this handset is a Galaxy smartphone, this is made even easier. A message on the cell phone screen allows the headphones to connect to the system with just one touch.

Inside each earphone, there is a compartment composed of two-way speakers, which capture a wider frequency of sound; a woofer, which promotes deeper bass; it is a tweeter, responsible for the crisp highs. In constant tests, trying them on different devices, the feeling is that the bass sound performs better than the treble. It's not bad, but, taking the details, it could be a little more refined.

Samsung also offers here a product with enhanced 360 audio and 24-bit Hi-Fi hi-fi sound, considered studio quality. In practice, this results in a clear, rich and powerful sound during playback.

That feature that steals the show once again is the ANC, or active noise cancellation. By holding for three seconds on the surface of either earbud, the mode is activated. It's an uplifting experience and really true to Samsung's proposal. The other shortcuts are: play songs and audios by double tapping on the surface and answer calls or play/pause songs by just tapping the surface.

The headphones also have three high-sensitivity microphones in each piece. They work well, although a little muffled during internet calls — and that's considering a great ISP connection. However, its performance is consistent both in quiet environments and in the wind, for example.

Users still have some extra tools, such as SmartThingsFind, which locates the product through the application available on Android e iOS. the virtual assistant Bixby and custom stretching notification are also available alongside these smart gadgets.

Battery

One of the most controversial — if not the most controversial — topics of portable electronics is the battery. Here, Samsung sells the promise of up to 18 hours of use and 14 hours of active voice calling (both adding headphones + case). In fact, use is quite prolonged.

Depending on the frequency and intensity of use, it is possible to leave the headphones out of the charging case for almost an entire day. The case is even small, but very agile in its work. It provides more power to appliances in a very short time. The product comes with a cable, but not the power supply.

With the versatility of charging it while using the headphones and then keeping it at 100% it is actually very useful. It didn't let our test down in any specific episode. The total battery capacity of the case is 515 mAh.

Price and availability

The new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is available in physical and virtual stores of general commerce throughout Brazil. Both Samsung and partner establishments are selling the product, the price of which may vary depending on the chosen store, shipping and promotions.

Na American stores, you can find the headphones wireless in the amount of R$1.349,10 in cash.

Conclusion

It is necessary to recognize when the promise becomes reality. The new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is really all he appears to be. In addition to being charming in appearance, his system is smart, very well integrated, with great noise cancellation and exquisite audio reproduction.

It's a little complex to imagine so soon how a future 'Galaxy Buds3 Pro', if called that, will manage to improve what is already great. But as long as the privileged consumer can enjoy the current model, that challenge is up to Samsung.
