Samsung is reported to launch a new TWS called Galaxy Buds Pro alongside the Galaxy S21 series. Ahead of it, the company has released the successor to its popular neckband-style Bluetooth earphones known as Level U. The new model is simply called ‘Samsung Level U2’.

The South Korean tech giant launched the original Level U Bluetooth wireless earphones more than five years back, as per SamMobile. Usually, audio products don’t need an upgrade annually. But with the advent of more smartphone companies entering this segment, the competition became intense, and therefore, brands began to update their portfolio within a short span of time.
