Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Graphite

Compact, Comfortable & Great SoundThe Galaxy Buds 2 in graphite look sleek, fit well, and deliver balanced audio with solid ANC. Great value for everyday use.

Right off the bat, I bought buds 2 for 3 reasons:1. Wanted to go wireless again with some thing substantial after long time of using wired iems and long recess of wirelessness. My last wireless (sort of) was Oppo enco m31. M31 is the one got me hooked to music more and into this hobby of audiophilia. I consider my previous purchases of Boat earphones and headphones as pure dumpster fire.2. mainly for outside use and travel3. wanted to try anc to see what the fuss is all about.My main gears are Blessing 2 Dusk, Aria and He400se. In terms of tonality, dusk wins and in terms of technicality, He400se wins.Sound wise (that’s the primary thing that matters to me most) its tonality is on point, comparable to my aria.Tonality: It’s clean sounding with gooood subbass boost. It’s tastefully done, clean, no bloat whatsoever into midrange.So the bass you get is having enough thump to feel right in your ears. In ‘Doing it right’ by Daft Punk, bass actually does sound right.Mid range is also linear, so vocals sound as good as it can get for tws I suppose. Though for some reason it sometimes sound kind of thin.Now treble is where it falters bit. I’m quite treble sensitive, so less 5khz to 8khz emphasis is better for me. Dusk has this ‘emphasis’ (it’s not emphasized per se, but I would like that region bit darker), which I sometimes hate. So in that area, buds 2 is better, no such sibilance for me. But after 8khz, it doesn’t rise up at 11-15khz, so percussive instruments doesn’t sound airy and overall sounds bit congested at times.So tonality wise, I don’t think it can get any better for tws.Technicality: capable. In busy tracks, instruments get lil’ mushy, And as said earlier, more air could have resulted in more resolving sound. Not expansive soundstage, smaller than Aria.If I were to get one out of buds 2 and aria, I’ll choose buds 2 for added portability sacrificing those extra details.I feel for 8.5k, one of the best tws you can get right now.ANC: didn’t have any idea prior to buds 2, now I’ve some sort of idea. Maybe I overestimated its anc potential. It cuts down ac noise quite a bit, though doesn’t eliminate fully. So you can guess what it does to other louder noises, and it’s proportional to good fit with right ear tips. Anyway it’s less of my concern.For iPhone users: no app support. I have to use android to set it up using wearable app. Once set, those settings are carried over and you won’t need the app again. And seemless connection makes the experience even smoother. Only downside is lack of eq with iPhone. I’m content with its default signature, so not a problem for me.Battery life and all other stuffs don’t bother me, as it’s purely for outdoor use and I don’t listen to music for continuous 3-4 hrs without break.Sammy did good job with the tuning. Other manufacturers use extreme V shaped tuning or extreme bass boost that kills sound. I heard oneplus buds z before, which I didn’t like at all, sounded like a$$.Hope, Sammy continues legacy of AKG in their future products as well.

From day one the right ear phone decharges in case. The left stays charged. Contacted customer support and the only solution they could offer was to take headphones to inspect but could take upto 30 days so I would have no headphones for that long. Only temporary solution is to remove right bud from case then replace it and wait until fully charged again before using which is massively inconvenient. Fit of the buds is also very poor and when using in the gym they keep slipping out. My wife has the original buds and the fit is so much better and they stay put. The sound on these is much better than the original buds but could do with a bit more clarity with some music, can be too much bass. Perfect for drum and bass and dance music but with rock music just not the right balance. Defo not worth the price tag

First of all i have to tell the fit of Samsung buds 2. I have seen lot of reviews buds were not fitting well. But for me its easily fit. Using Samsung Galaxy app we can test ear fit or not. Battery life was okay. Without anc u can expect 6 hours at 70% volume. Being lightweight so easy to wear it. I have tested it for workout as well. It has ipx2 rating only so be careful always. U should clean the buds after each workout.connectivity was so fast. U just need to open buds case.For moderate bass lovers and great trouble u can use without any other thought. I have bought this during great indian sale first day using sbi debit card..so i got it for 5430 rs only.. i was very happy for this price range.Still buds 2 is good for the price range of 6500 and below.Talking about ANC it's fit me well..so anc also works fine.amazing experience from Samsung.
