Description:
Samsung has leaked a lot of details about its Galaxy Bud 2 earbuds through
its Galaxy Wearable app, so how do these earbuds compare to what's come before?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you cant wait much longer for the rumored August 11 release date of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 , then Samsung may have a surprise for you. Thats because it has seemingly leaked most details about its upcoming true wireless earbuds through its own Galaxy Wearable app.

Normally leaks dont come from the source directly, though we should still
take this one with a pinch of salt. The Galaxy Buds 2 arent official yet, and these app details could be incomplete. With that warning out of the way though, what could we expect from the Galaxy Buds 2?

Well, based on the Galaxy Wearable app it looks like the Galaxy Buds 2 will come in five colors (white, black, green, yellow, and purple) and feature active noise cancellation. While previous leaks seemed to include the ability to turn ANC on/off in a single earbud, though, there's no sign of it here suggesting these earbuds' features aren't quite as comprehensive as we thought.

We also learned that the Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds should each have a 61mAh battery, while the case has a 472mAh battery. This is the same as the Galaxy Buds Pro , meaning we could expect at least a similar battery life. Based on our testing this would be around five hours per charge / 13 hours from the case (ANC on) or seven hours per charge / 20 hours from the case (ANC off).

The Galaxy Buds arent stealing everything from the Galaxy Buds Pro though, as some features like 360-degree sound appear to be absent. We hopefully wont have much longer to wait before they release, as a rumored launch event is happening in under a month on August 11. But even if thats the case, will the Galaxy Buds 2 be worth waiting for? Should you wait for the Galaxy Buds 2?

There are likely plenty of details about the Galaxy Buds 2 that we dont yet know, but if youre anxious to get a new pair of headphones, you probably want to know if they might be worth the wait. Here well compare them to Samsungs other true wireless earbud offerings, the original Galaxy Buds, and the
Galaxy Buds Pro.

The regular Galaxy Buds will be perfect if youre on a tighter budget. Sure, they wont have all the bells and whistles of the incoming successor or existing Pro, but they'll cost considerably less thanks to regular discounts on sites like Amazon.

If youre wanting to splash out, we suggest going for the Galaxy Buds Pro , as they offer improved sound and microphone quality, as well as active noise cancellation. You might also want to check out our list of best wireless earbuds to get an even better audio experience.

As for the Galaxy Buds 2, it looks like theyll sit somewhere in the middle. Rumored to cost $179 / 129 / AU$239, the Galaxy Buds 2 would be cheaper than the Galaxy Buds Pro but should have improved features and more functions than the original Galaxy Buds.
