Hello,
Has anyone noticed the battery life on the Pros is seemingly short?
I pulled a sw update a few days ago and noticed the battery life was really drained afterwards. I just assumed that it had to do with the actual updating process.
However today I've been using them (for phone calls) for 2 hours and they are already down to 45% from a full charge. I haven't been speaking the entire time and the volume is up quite a bit. I do use ambient setting on high, and then have been playing around with the ANC. Would these features accelerate charge decline?
Thanks
Yea dude I also experienced the same issue. However, you said you used ambient mode on high, so that's why you're battery's draining fast. Even though they don't say it, I just found out ambient mode does drain the battery faster. I used the pros without ambient mode or anc and it actually last about 8 hours as advertised, and I listen to my music loud. I have no idea why samsung doesn't say that ambient mode drains the battery faster, but it does, so if you want maximum battery usage, don't use any modes.
Yep. They're rated for 5 hours work ANC on and 8 hours with it off.

How do I pair the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro?
To pair the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro to any device, follow these steps:
- Place the buds in the case and close the lid.
- Open the lid and tap and hold each earbud until the LED cycles through red, green, and blue flashes.
- Follow this path on your phone: Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Add Device. (This varies slightly by device.)
- Tap the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
Is it worth upgrading from the Buds Pro to the Buds 2 Pro?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are better than the Galaxy Buds Pro in just about every way. You’ll get significantly better ANC from the Buds 2 Pro and better touch controls. Unlike the Buds Pro, the Buds 2 Pro don’t register quick fit adjustments as commands.
Pretty annoying every single reviewer claims 5 hours with ANC, they're just basically quoting Samsung and that's it.
Here's my experience with them. I left my home to go to the gym at 17:40, that's when I started streaming music from Spotify with ANC ON.
Left the gym at 21, at 21:03 they died.
So from 17:40 to 21:00 that's 3:20. Paired to my Galaxy S10+ so obviously using SSC codec which should, in theory, be more efficient as well.
3 hours and 20 is WELL below the advertised durability. Pretty disappointed because otherwise I absolutely love them but this, theoretically worse than most high end buds.
