Samsung discontinued the original Galaxy Buds when it announced the Buds 2. You can learn all about this in our full review. If you can find them, you’ll enjoy the Bluetooth 5.0 firmware, IPX2 build, and 6 hours of battery life.

Samsung smartphone owners can take full advantage of the Buds 2 and its software features. It’s also great for commuters as its ANC outperforms the Beats Studio Buds and pricier Apple AirPods Pro (1st generation). As far as wireless earbuds under $200 are concerned, the Galaxy Buds 2 is feature-packed. You can enjoy things like the auto-pause function, direct Spotify access (Android only), and excellent sound quality.

Who shouldn’t get the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2?

Those with significant nickel, acrylate sensitivities, or allergies will potentially be exposed to the materials via the earbuds — however unlikely. Some users have reported discomfort and reactions to recent Samsung earphones with these materials. Reportedly, Samsung has been investigating the matter and assisting customers who report troubles to them directly. However, the earphones in question aren’t the only ones with this exposure potential. If you’re sensitive to these materials, please be mindful of your return policy no matter what you buy.
