The Galaxy Buds2 Pro wireless headphones were the icing on the cake at the Unpacked event, where Samsung introduced its new generation of Fold and Flip smartphones.

Samsung has reduced Galaxy Buds2 Pro compared to the originals, 15% smaller with dimensions of 19.9mm x 21.6mm x 18.7mm and a weight of only 5.5g. They have an IPX7 waterproof rating, which is enough to protect them from the occasional rain rain or sweat generated during training. Samsung says that improving ergonomics will help keep them from moving.

The headphones feature a custom two-way speaker configuration (tweeter and woofer) capable of delivering 24-bit Hi-Fi sound with high fidelity. This feature, one of the new features in the release, requires compatible Samsung Galaxy devices that support it with One UI 4 or higher. It also has 360 Audio with direct multi-channel sound that “follows” your head movements for a more personalized surround sound experience.

The Galaxy Buds2 Pro have improved the system active noise cancellation (ANC) by up to 40%, thanks in part to three high-SNR microphones. The microphones also allow the headset to be used for voice calls with a one-touch function change.

When it comes to battery life, up to five hours music playback with active noise cancellation or up to eight hours with the function deactivated. A typical charging case they contain increases autonomy up to 18 hours with ANC on and 29 hours if you’re not using the active noise cancellation that’s become standard on premium wireless headphones like these. The fast charging system should provide up to an hour of use with a charge in just 5 minutes.

In total. Galaxy Buds2 Pro are Samsung’s most compact headphones to date. More ergonomic and lighter, they will be available from August 26 in three new colors, graphite, white and purple. They can now be reserved on the Samsung website for a price €239.
