I used the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with an iPhone for over two months. They are a brilliant pair of earbuds, but should you buy them over the AirPods 2 Pro?
AirPods Pro 2 are the go-to flagship earbuds for an iPhone user; you get all the ecosystem benefits alongside brilliant sound quality and active noise cancellation . But what if you use your iPhone with a Windows laptop, or what if you have an Android phone as a secondary device? That’s where you’ll require a second pair of earbuds — unless you can find something that works well with the iPhone as well as Windows and Android. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are one such product.
Related Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don’t require an app to pair and work. You can simply open the case and pair it to your iPhone. You can then play your favorite music or podcasts via any app you want on the iPhone. But you don’t get support to fine-tune the controls, and you miss out on some niche features .
Active noise cancellation is one of the best in a non-stem-design pair of earbuds under $200. In my experience, the Buds 2 Pro’s ANC is closer to the Pixel Buds Pro. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro were my partner on my commutes and travel — spanning cabs, busses, and airplanes. The Buds 2 Pro really shine when quieting the buzzing of an airplane. However, that’s not to say that it feels like I’m in a vacuum. Instead, the silicon tips create a good seal , and the software does the rest.
Where the iPhone experience stumbles The Galaxy Wearable app acts as a catalyst to provide more features, but the Buds 2 Pro and its unavailability on the App Store means you lose out on some features when paired with an iPhone. Fourth, you miss out on the Samsung extras, like, the “Find my earbuds” feature that plays a little tone through the buds to help you find one or both earbuds if they go missing. It is the only feature in this section that I’d like to have on my iPhone for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I haven’t felt the need for it, but it would be nice to have it if I ever lose my earbuds.
