The newly-unveiled Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have an eye-catching and compact design, plus some interesting technical upgrades.
These buds are 15% smaller than their predecessors and carry a pleasing aerodynamic design that immediately caught our attention. There’s some interesting internal tech on offer too, which could make them ideal for calls, music streaming and more.
As with any earbuds in this price bracket, these come with active noise cancellation (ANC), but there’s an interesting assortment of additional features, too.
Unveiled alongside Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, plus the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro, these buds are likely to appear in some attractive bundle deals alongside those other new products.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro design
We’ve picked out the design as one of the real ‘wow factor’ elements of these new earbuds. They stand out thanks to that small, sleek, aerodynamic look and we can’t wait to get our hands on them for an extended test.
You’ll notice the expanded and very visible wind-shield at the top of each bud, designed to cut down wind interference during calls. It’s another element of the design that differentiates it from other buds on the market and we’re interested to test its efficacy for outdoor calls.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro specs and features
Alongside that larger windshield built into the top of each earbud – twice the size of the ones on the original Buds Pro – there are also three microphones to help make sure your calls are crystal clear, at least in theory.
The buds deliver 24-bit high fidelity audio and we’re keen to get our hands on them soon for an extended test. As ever when it comes to earbuds, sound quality is king, so we’ll need to conduct some testing before giving any verdict on what these new Samsung buds deliver.
Elsewhere, the Buds 2 Pro offer ANC as you’d expect in this price bracket. As well, there’s 360 audio which uses Dolby head tracking tech to help immerse you in a deep, listenable soundscape. There’s also an ambient sound mode which harnesses those three mics to help you keep situational awareness.
Additionally, there’s a voice detect feature which can pick up your voice and reduce the volume of – or pause – content that you’re listening to, in order for you to have a conversation. This seems to be Samsung taking a nod from Sony’s Linkbuds, which offered an interesting suite of functions to allow wearers to keep them on at all times without interrupting other parts of their day.
