- Great sound
- sit very comfortably
- Good noise cancelling
- Operation somewhat fiddly
- App only for Android devices
The Galaxy Buds 2 are among the best sounding models in their price range. They reproduce music warmly and without distortion with finely dosed bass. Although the ANC is not first-class, it makes annoying noise much quieter. Too bad: The good app with many useful extras such as the earplug search is only available for Android.
The Bluetooth headphone test provides results for 240 headphones with and without earpieces. Which ones sound strong, have good batteries and no harmful substances. New in Stiftung Warentest's headphone comparison: 26 current in-ear and boom headphones. Among them are models from Apple, JBL, Samsung and Sennheiser...
- Clear, rich sound
- Very good noise suppression
- Long battery life
- High-quality and stable workmanship
- Fair price
- Individual functions restricted to Samsung devices (e.g. multiple connections)
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 are hip companions with good sound characteristics and pleasant operation. Despite their compact size, these in-ears offer really strong endurance values.
- Great sound
- many functions
- very comfortable in the ears
- App for Android only
- Only protection against dripping water
The clear test victory of the Galaxy Buds 2 comes as little surprise; Samsung has built up a good reputation for its in-ears over the years. The Buds 2 shine with a balanced, clear sound, high wearing comfort, simple operation and good battery life. In the end, the only things missing for a "very good" rating are better water protection and a larger selection of sealing rubbers.
Around two points behind test winner LG, the Galaxy Buds2 from Samsung secured the silver medal. The headphones outclassed the competition especially in terms of workmanship; both the earpieces themselves and the charging case convinced our testers. Sound quality and bass are also very good, and the battery life including the case is in the solid upper midfield at 20 hours...
