AirPods Pro 2 vs Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: Sorry Apple!

Within just a few weeks, Samsung and Apple have both released their flagship true wireless earphones for 2022, the AirPods Pro 2 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. So how do they measure up? Ben takes a look.

Check Out XDA on Social Media.

it was a very honest and successful review.
moreover i want add you can control galaxy buds on bluetooth menu (transparency mode, anc mode or 360 audio etc.)

Great review for both the Airpods and Galaxy Buds. I will also add that if you have a Samsung device, you can still tinker with the settings in the Bluetooth section without using the Werable app.

the $150 price difference makes it a solid win for Galaxy Buds IMO

Buds 2 pro tracks the closest to the harman tuning. Its the ideal target curve for iems with the most research backing it.

Didn't know Ben was also making videos for XDA. Love the content

Do you guys recommand Galaxy Buds Pro 2 with non Samsung phones or go for something more general like Bose or Sony

[charlcharl]

Just want to mention that the audio brand AKG is a Samsung company.

I'm probably the only one who doesn't care about ANC. I like to hear something of the surroundings. But I don't live in the city and never take the train, bus or whatever.

The Buds2 pro sound much better, the only thing that annoys me is the fit, everytime I re-adjust the fit, I pause the music because of the stupid touch controls (I know you can disable it) but I'm not going to disable the touch controls everytime I need to push the Buds back into my ears.

Only for this reason I'm using the Airpods.

Yeah I just got my Galaxy buds pro 2 yesterday they sound really good I put them things in my ears I was like wow

The Galaxy Buds have 2 drivers, an 11mm and a 6mm.

Thank you so much for your review. Moreover, you are so lucky as you live in HK!!!

[aaronaustrie]

I love your honest review of these 2 buds

Tu oublies de dire que sur les galaxy buds on peut personnaliser les gestes de commande

[TheNckol]

Hello.
Im wondering which one should I buy for mixed os use. I change phone quite often and every time i change os.
Pricing I have is 250 for airpods pro 2 and 125 for galaxy buds pro 2.
I dont care about the app.
Good anc, good comfort, sound out from the box is all I want.
Which one should I take?

Btw Ive had bose qc2 but these were most buggy earbuds ive ever had.

[rohit]

What do you mean download? i didn't download any app everything is pre installed. and even if i dont have the wear app pre installed the settings app already has all the control settings i need.

Ngl the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 this time around is actually pretty solid. However when it comes to fit, audio quality, comfort and overall listening experience the Airpods Pro 2 are still the better wireless option for on the go.

I'm a Samsung user that that has always liked AirPods better. I like the old school fit over the end of your style and the sound was always better but I hear the new pros too are better than the old first and second generation. So I'm thinking about upgrading.

Listening to this review with my GalaxyBudsPro2, and loving it lol!

[ziwkovic]

Does anyone know how to turn on and off transparency mode? Not automatically with voice but I'd it possible with touch?
