I have every wireless earbud model that Samsung has made thus far. I cannot recommend Galaxy Buds 2 Pro enough.
The sound is remarkable, simply put.
Turning on the 360 audio feature on them changes everything, I don't even know how it's possible to feel like the sound is coming from everywhere besides the things sitting in your ears.
The active noice canceling is shocking, it's substantially better than just a generation ago in the buds 2. My window is right next to a main road in my town, and I can sit right in front of it, watching cars go by 15 feet away, without anything playing in the earbuds, and not hear the cars at all. Blows my mind.
Generally buds with wingtips fit best in my ears, and they give me more confidence wearing them in active conditions, jogging, biking, cleaning, etc. The Buds 2 never stayed in my ears very well, constant adjustments, the Buds Pro were even worse, and produced unbearable pain in my ears due to their size, geometry, and weight. I was frankly expecting a similar outcome with these Buds 2 Pro, I was instead very surprised to find out that they fit and stay in my ears better than even the Buds FE and other wingtipped buds. I can wear them indefinitely without discomfort, and rarely have to adjust their position in my ears. I do not know how they pulled this off. They are noticeably lighter than previous buds, this surely plays a role. (I understand the fitment will vary by individual)
Battery life is also perfectly sufficient for most people's listening habits, I would imagine. The old Buds+ and their 11+ hours have spoiled me though, and leave me wanting more with all the Buds I've had since, but, I can't really complain with these specifically, ~6 hours is a fine tradeoff if it means lighter buds with better drivers.
I'm not an audiophile, I can't tell you why these sound great, but they do, that is certain.
HIGHLY recommend.

Best Value for Money
This is the perfect design! I love the design as it perfectly fits and stay in the ear. No risk of falling down during run/work out. The sound quality is superb and branded by AKG and the price is reasonable specifically as Samsung always gives special offer! The volume control cannot be done through the buds, but it is okay and perfect. I found the battery life enough for at least one day and use of usb type-c port and wireless charging is another plus point I could consider!

Samsung hit a home run with these.

Phone call quality fantastic, noise cancelling mid
Bought these as an upgrade from mid – level Jlab wireless headphones. The primary reason that I wanted an upgrade from my old Jlab headphones was the quality of making calls. Honestly other than that I had no issues with my old ones. After buying these I tested the sound quality for calls. IT MAKES PHONE CALLS WITH SUPER GOOD QUALITY. It did exactly what I had got them for! I was a little sad however, to realize that the noise cancelling mode had actually decreased in quality. Initially I could not tell a difference between regular off mode and noise cancelling. Then I discovered I had some bigger ear tips. This did make a decent difference, however the noise cancelling just still never was as good as my old headphones (and to be honest they were not like the most insane at it either). I think I’m gonna try and find some better tips online that will help with noise cancelling and see what happens.Overall:Phone call quality: AMAZINGTec and features: A little sensitive but overall really well doneOverall feel in the ears etc: Not bad at allNoise cancelling mode: Mid at bestAmbient Noise mode: GreatWorth the upgrade from $70 Jlab wireless headphones: Overall yes

Great sounding earbuds
For me, the fit and the sound were much better than Apple Airpods. I use them everyday. Good battery life and reliable connectivity. I leave my phone in a gym locker about 20-30yds away and have no problem with the connection.

Non-US Version
The seller didn’t mention that these are a non-US version without a warranty honored by Samsung USA. I bought mine with an extended warranty, so when one earbud when out four months in, they paid me what I’d paid for the headphones. But I should have gotten them replaced or refunded under Samsung’s 1-year warranty and still had my extended warranty. Without an extended warranty, one’s out of luck. One would expect these to be the same headphones they’d buy at the local store, but they’re not and seller doesn’t mention this and the link to warranty information is dead.As for the headphones themselves, I’ve liked them a lot when they work. They fit well in my ear, they’re stylish, they sound great (though I’d prefer the bass had a tad more punch). The ANC is decent, though not great, the battery life is good and they pair well with my Samsung phone. I’d keep them for years but I’ve purchased many if not all in the Samsung Galaxy Buds lineup and they’ve all had the right earbud slowly lose volume until it produces little or no sound at all. I’ve heard some say that dropping the earbud can fix the issue but I’ve only had that work once or twice and only before it broke again. I do use them 30-40 hours a week and I typically have this issue about four months in, so I suppose the average user might not have the issue for years. If they’d keep working, I’d give the headphones five stars, but I’m going to have to try something that will give me more hours.

Son unos audifonos muy completos, sus principales caracteristicas es su ergonomia en cuanto a la construccion y en mi opinion son de los mas comodos que he probado tanto para dormir como para usarlos haciendo ejercicio. Yo di el salto de unos buds live a este modelo y quede mas que contento con lo que ofrecen, tienen una cancelacion de ruido decente para ser asi de pequeños y su configuracion de fabrica es bastante buena la firma de audio con AKG se nota y tiene buena repoduccion de sonidos y detalles.Es una compra inteligente si, pero tiene unos contras como el hecho de que tienes que descargar la app de Samsung Wearable y su pluggin para poderlos usar al máximo, sin contar que también disfrutas de mejores prestaciones si lo usas con un dispositivo de la misma marca, esto es algo que a muchos probablemente no les guste escuchar, pero siendo usuario de XIAOMI y SAMSUNG no he tenido problemas de conectividad y mucho menos he notado una gran diferencia en cuanto al audio, aunque esto dependera tambien del equipo que tengas y el software que maneje para el audio.

Bought these as update for my S Bud+ as bluetooth stopped working ? These are really nice and for me slightly shallower ,depth wise for pillows etc and better protection again sweat in hot climates, as the + broke up when hot. Soundwise not much different, and battery use nearly halved. Bought for £90 as would not have been worth paying more. So Took out the Amazon 2 yr warranty,in case of bluetooth problems etc, as some sellers or using non UK models, with no Samsung repair service, so do your research

Great addition to my smartphone. It comes with instructions in Chinese, not English though

Listeners said that I sounded like I was in a tunnell, or they couldnt hear me at all. For nearly $300 I expected better.
