So, I've owned a lot of wireless headsets over the last few years, and so far, in almost every category, this takes the cake. I didn't expect a headset from Samsung to go this hard, especially with my fondness for Audio Technica and Sennheiser setting my expectations, but here we are. Let's break it down:
The first thing I want to state is that I've replaced my last 3 headsets due to their death, and so longevity of this headset will heavily determine whether this review stays 5 starts. I've had it for around two months now, and I expect, generally, to get at least a year out of something like this under pretty heavy use. So far the only headset I've had that met this expectation was the Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless, lasting around a year and a half before one of the buds gave out unexpectedly. After that is was the Audio Technica CKS50TW, out of which I got a grand 3 months, and didn't honestly care to replace under warranty.
SOUND QUALITY: My standards for sound quality are pretty high. My desktop audio setup is an Audio Technica ATH-M50x, and while that's not the most impressive headset ever on its own, it's fed by an EVGA NuAudio sound card, and produces some impressive sound with a little bit of EQ tweaking. This headset gets so close to that sound quality that I probably use it more than the M50X now when at my desk. It's better than both the CKS50TW and CX Plus by quite some margin in this regard, and I've seriously come to enjoy the 'dynamic' EQ preset. It is *stunning* quality, in my opinion, for a headset of this price. In case you were wondering, yes it's better than the AirPods, although I've found that *most* headsets from reputable manufacturers in this price range are.
BATTERY LIFE: This is perhaps the one aspect of this headset that *doesn't* completely take the cake, but it's still absolutely respectable, and I completely agree with sacrificing battery life for comfort and size, because that is another aspect in which this headset shines. Look- the battery life isn't the *best*, but I typically get 5-7 hours out of it, more if you have noise control turned off, and truthfully, in my room, I don't need it most of the time. There are a lot of headsets out there that do better in this category, but the tradeoff they make is protruding out of the ear to house their larger batteries, and in this case, I think the fact that we're able to get this much battery into an earbud that completely nestles into a fully supported and secure position in the ear is worth it. This is still *plenty* of battery life in my opinion, and the headset charges swiftly, as does the case.
NOISE CANCELLING: The ANC and hear-through are both best-in-class as far as my experience goes. This was something where Sennheiser just about made it and Audio Technica kinda fell on their face, but this is the best ANC of any headset I've tried. It does a *fantastic* job of silencing typical office/home background noise like vents, fans, etc. as well as outdoor noise like engines, wind, etc.. One of the other benefits of the completely rounded in-ear design with no protrusion is that they are susceptible to comparatively little wind noise while doing things like cycling, which is my main use case for these. I'm willing to bet that their completely nestled fitment helps with noise cancellation, and may explain why other headsets that protrude further tend to fall flat in this category.
There's little else for me to talk about beyond the fitment, and that's something I've said enough about. They're very comfortable, they fit very closely and don't protrude out to catch things like the wind, or my hair. They stay in place exceptionally well, and my overgrown pixie cut even hides them completely because of their low profile. My only complaint is that if the tip of a hair pokes into the pickup for the ANC, it can cause some static until you brush off the hair, a relatively minor gripe that only applies to people within a very narrow range of hair lengths, since longer hair couldn't poke its ends into the pickup, and shorter hair wouldn't reach it.
Overall, I sincerely hope this headset lives a long life; I've very much enjoyed it so far, and would like to for as long as possible. The build quality seems decent, and my only concern is dropping the buds on a hard surface or wax ingress, but I think both the headset and tips are well-designed to prevent wax ingress, and dropping things is sort of an end user problem in this case that only particularly butterfingered individuals like myself really struggle with, so we'll see how this goes.

HONEST review for SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

A total win! Purple Galaxy buds VS Olivia Rodrigo Sony Linkbuds
After a month of using these, they might as well be a part of my body. I'm always wearing at least one. They are so comfortable, sometimes I forget I'm wearing them. I use them at work all the time when I have to be on the phone, I even sleep in them. They NEVER fall out, and that was my biggest issue with headphones before. Wish I could give 200 stars.ove these so far, due to my prior mistake of purchasing the Olivia Rodrigo Sony Linkbuds S, I have included a comparative review below.So, I originally ordered the sony linkbuds S Olivia Rodrigo edition. I had read several reviews that boasted about it's sound quality and that the size of the buds were better for small ears. Let me tell ya, thus far, these eat the sony ones ALIVE. MUCH better sound quality, while the buds themselves are bigger, the case and overall product size is much more compact. I actually had to return the Sony ones because they fell apart within a month of extremely light use! They also has no wireless charging! I will say, I preferred the size of the buds themselves and I liked the fact that they came with additional earbud tips, which really helped with sizing issues. However, end the end I'm very happy they fell apart or I would have never returned them and got these for HALF the price. Sony customer support was also useless, I actually just wanted them fixed or even just to BUY a replacement piece. I could apparently do neither. Amazon quickly resolved it and let me return them, I then ordered these for HALF the price. So, if you are torn between the OR linkbud S and these bc you want a cute aestetic earbud? Do not be fooled!!! The Samsung buds beat them in sound, durability, post purchase support AND price. Plus, even though the Linkbuds may be more decorative, they have so many cute accessories for the Galaxy buds while the linkbuds have like...2 cases. Don't be tempted like I was! Make the right choice!!! I will obviously update in about a month, as that is when I had the biggest issue with the linkbuds, stay tuned.
