In this video, the creator provides an in-depth review of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro after six months of use, with a focus on their sound quality, comfort, and unique features. The Buds 2 Pro are highlighted for their superior sound quality when used with Samsung devices due to the SSC codec that supports 24-bit audio. Their noise cancellation is good, though not the best, and the EQ options are somewhat limited. The 360 Audio feature is discussed but regarded as gimmicky except in specific contexts like using AirPods Max with Apple TV 4K for a true surround sound experience.
Comparatively, the Sony WF-1000XM5s are preferred for better bass, fit, and battery life. The review outlines features such as adequate noise cancellation during flights, decent but artificial sounding mic quality, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's design, which is comfortable but possibly causes ear soreness due to its width. The earbuds have water resistance, a slim and practical case design with wireless charging, and a suite of Samsung-specific features like SmartThings Find and auto-switching, making them well-suited for Samsung and Android users. Nonetheless, non-Samsung users might consider other options or wait for discounts. The reviewer concludes by inviting viewers to check current prices and subscribe to the channel for more tech reviews.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the 360 Audio feature on earbuds, mentioning that it feels like a gimmick except when using with AirPods Max and Apple TV 4K for a convincing surround sound experience. They would not choose earbuds based solely on 360 Audio, suggesting Pixel Buds Pro or Sony Buds as alternatives for Dolby Music via Apple Music. The speaker criticizes the Dolby Atmos music experience on earbuds, noting no significant benefits except with headphones like AirPods Max and Atmos-specific speakers like the Sonos Ray. They highlight an issue with enabling both 360 Audio and Dolby Atmos, resulting in poor sound quality. The segment transitions to comparing mic quality across various earbuds, concluding that Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has decent transparency mode but voice still sounds somewhat artificial.

While the earbuds are comfortable, their wide design could make some users’ ears sore. The reviewer suggests considering other earbuds with stabilizer arcs for activities like running or gym workouts. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro’s water resistance is praised, as they can be submerged for up to 30 minutes, unlike some higher-priced competitors.

Samsung-specific features like SmartThings Find, auto-switching, and conversation recognition are mentioned as added benefits. Playback controls are straightforward, and an experimental volume control feature is available.
