A few days ago Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy Buds2, the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Buds+. The new Galaxy Buds2 is designed for a comfortable fit made to be worn all day and delivers a rich, balanced sound, with dynamic two-way speakers. The Galaxy Buds2 also comes with Active Noise Cancellation to block out unwanted noise.
CNET, who managed to get its hands on the device sometime before its actual launch, has posted a thorough review of the truly wireless earbuds.
The Galaxy Buds2’s main strengths appear to be good sound quality, weight and comfort, while its main weakness appears to be less than desirable battery life.
