The Galaxy Buds2 is the latest pair of earbuds from Samsung and it arrives as a successor to the Galaxy Buds+ from last year while packing features from the Galaxy Buds Pro announced earlier this year.

Galaxy Buds2 Design

The Galaxy Buds2 has a rounder design that has a low protrusion which Samsung says helps to minimize wind disruptions and provides a secure fit. They are said to be the smallest and lightest (5 grams per bud) in the Galaxy Buds lineup.

Samsung will sell the Galaxy Buds2 in four colors – Olive, Graphite, White, and Lavender. However, all four colorways come in the same white case, so you can tell them apart when closed.

Samsung has decided to borrow a leaf from Google’s Pixel Buds A which also has the same white outer case but with an inner color that matches that of the earbuds. It is a simple but nice design that deviates from the boring same color for both the earbuds and cases we have seen in a lot of TWS earbuds. Design is subjective, so there is a chance that not everyone will like this color finish especially since the case is white.

Galaxy Buds2 Specs and Features

Samsung’s new earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) which is cool considering you don’t have to shell out $199 for the Galaxy Buds Pro to get this feature.

The Galaxy Buds2 has the same dual-driver setup as its siblings – a 1mm woofer and 6.3mm tweeter, both tuned by AKG. You also get three microphones (2 outer and 1 inner) and a voice pickup unit (VPU) on each earbud. The latter works with the accelerometer to detect when you are talking and automatically switch to transparency mode. It will also turn on ANC when you are done talking. Pretty neat, right?

Samsung says the ANC mode cuts background noise by up to 98% and the Ambient Mode has three levels. Other features of the Galaxy Buds2 are Auto Switch between compatible Galaxy devices, customizable touch controls, wear detection, and support for the Galaxy Buds PC app.

There is a 61mAh battery inside each earbud and they will provide up to 5 hours of playback time with ANC on (7.5 hours with ANC off). The case which has a battery capacity of 472mAh takes the battery life to 20 hours with ANC on (29 hours with ANC off). There is support for fast charging – a 5 minutes charge will provide 1 hour of playback time. The case charges via USB-C and Qi wireless charging.

Galaxy Buds2 Price and Availability

The Galaxy Buds2 is priced at $149 and will be available for purchase starting August 27.

Samsung will announce a new pair of wireless earbuds at its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for next month. There have been multiple leaks related to the earbuds which will arrive as the Galaxy Buds2 but a new leak that surfaced today gives us our best look at them yet.

The leak comes in form of three gifs posted on Twitter by Evan Blass and they show the Galaxy Buds in White, Lavender Purple, and Olive Green. However, unlike previous Galaxy Buds that come in a case with matching colors, all the colors of the Galaxy Buds2 come in a white case, though the interior has the same color as the earbuds.

While the new earbuds still have an in-ear design, the design has changed. They also look smaller now and come in the same squircle carrying case as the Galaxy Buds Live and the Galaxy Buds Pro.

The case of the Galaxy Buds2 has a USB-C port at the back but it should also support wireless charging. There is an LED in front to indicate when the case is charging and another inside that lights up when the earbuds are charging.
