Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro – Upgrade of the Galaxy Buds2 presented

Aside from the new phones and smartwatches, an upgrade for the Galaxy Buds2 was also unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro are said to offer even higher-quality audio, as well as some smart features.

Software

This includes intelligent active noise cancellation. For example, intelligent noise cancellation activates conversation mode when you start talking. During conversation mode, ambient noise, such as voices, is allowed through the headphones without being filtered out. Such a mode is also available in many other headphones, but has to be activated manually. Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro support intelligent switching between different Samsung devices – for example, between smartphone and TV. Depending on which device you are currently using.

In addition to intelligent active noise cancellation, Samsung has also given the Galaxy Buds2 Pro 360° audio, allowing them to simulate full surround sound.

Audio

Naturally, the sound quality itself has also been improved. For this, Samsung has developed its own new audio codec called “Samsung seamless Codec”. This codec encodes with 24 bits, while other audio codecs usually only use 16 bits via Bluetooth. Therefore, the new codec can transmit a higher sound quality. By the end of this year, even low-energy audio is to be added via Bluetooth LE.

Hardware

To be able to also use the higher bit rate, 2-way speakers are installed in the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. In addition, the ergonomics and shape of the Buds have also been adjusted to offer a more comfortable wearing experience. The battery is said to offer five hours of uninterrupted audio playback – a total of 18 hours if you let the Buds charge in the case in between. Weighing in at 5.5 grams, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro are IPX7 certified, which means they are protected from water intrusion.
