Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 were launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, August 11. The new true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds from the South Korean company are designed as the successor to the Galaxy Buds that were launched in February 2019.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 come in a two-way driver configuration that includes a tweeter and a woofer. The earbuds feature three microphones – of which, two will be used for ANC. Samsung has also offered AKG-tuned audio. There is also an IPX7 certification for splash and water resistance.
Samsung has provided Bluetooth v5.2 connectivity on the Galaxy Buds 2. The earbuds also have six different equalizer settings that you can set from your connected phone. The Galaxy Buds 2 are claimed to deliver up to 29 hours of battery life – including the battery of the charging case – with the earbuds offering up to 7.5 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. However, when using ANC, the battery life will drop to 20 hours.
Each earpiece of the Galaxy Buds 2 packs a 61mAh battery and the case has a 472mAh battery. Users will also get one hour of listening from the earbuds with just five minutes of charging. Further, there is Qi wireless charging support.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 price has been set at $149.99 (roughly Rs. 11,100). The earbuds come in four distinct color options – Graphite, Lavender, Olive, and White – and are set to be available for purchase in select markets from August 27.
