Samsung Galaxy Buds2 - Graphite SM-R177NZKAASA review
On Friday, preorders for Samsung's latest pair of completely wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 2 , will start to arrive, and you'll be able to buy them in stores. The $150 earbuds have all of the same features you can find in Apple's high-end AirPods Pro but cost $100 less.- Solid battery life, Good sound, Affordable
- ANC isn’t as strong as the AirPods Pro, No support for iPhone
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 - Graphite SM-R177NZKAASA review
With the exception of the Galaxy Buds Live, Samsung has a solid track record with its recent earbuds. That’s true once again with the Galaxy Buds 2 where a tiny curved design keeps things comfy even for long periods of time.
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 - Graphite SM-R177NZKAASA review
The snappy, seamless Android experience is a joy, but the extra perks offered by the Galaxy Buds 2 struggle to atone for disappointing sound quality- Pleasing bass weight, Lightweight design, Intuitive Android app
- Harsh through the treble, Dynamically lacking

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 - Graphite SM-R177NZKAASA review
For anyone who has already bought into the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are a fantastic choice and a big improvement on the first generation. You get good sound and the noise-cancelling does a fantastic job at cutting out distracting noise.- Good sound quality, Active noise cancellation, Works seamlessly with other Galaxy devices
- Not waterproof or even water-resistant, Battery life is just okay, No manual EQ settings
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review: Fully featured
A marked improvement over the original model, sharing features with the higher-priced Galaxy Buds Pro, these headphones importantly sound decent. They don't offer the best active noise-cancellation (ANC) around, but they do offer great call quality.- Compact design and case
- Good sound
- Customisation options via the Wearable app
- Wireless charging
- Good background noise supression on calls
- Not the best active noise-cancelling (ANC) around
- Only IPX2 splash proofing
- Only supports Bixby voice assistant
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review
The Galaxy Buds 2 are excellent all-rounders, with a comfortable, lightweight design and high-end features like ANC and wireless charging – balanced by fiddly touch controls and only average battery life. Anyone on Android should be happy with these, though limited software support means iPhone owners are better looking elsewhere.- Lightweight, compact design
- Solid sound & ANC
- Wireless charging
- Fiddly touch controls
- Limited iOS support
- Average battery life
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 : Available for £79 this Black Friday
With active noise cancellation and a more compact, comfortable design, the Galaxy Buds 2 are a clear upgrade on the Buds and Buds Plus- Lightweight and supremely comfortable
- Useful Galaxy-specific features
- Well-executed touch controls
- Mediocre battery life
- Only IPX2 rated
