The second generation of Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro could be on the way. Here’s what we know so far:
When it comes to wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 could be the next step for Samsung, which already has an impressive range of earbuds that go well with its smartphones.
Rumors about the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro have been scarce, but a few tips indicate that the device is in the works for an upcoming introduction. Perhaps we’ll even get a glimpse of them at the anticipated Samsung Unpacked August 2022 event, which now appears to be scheduled for August 10.
While the speculated AirPod Pro 2 and the Google Pixel Buds Pro are also expected to be released this summer, what may give Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Pro 2 a chance to compete? Samsung’s original Galaxy Buds Pro had been the greatest wireless earbuds to date, featuring a waterproof construction and better noise-cancellation at a reasonable pricing point.
Here’s everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2, from rumored release dates and prices to design, battery life, and much more….
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 release date
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 was released in August of 2021 as the company’s most recent iteration of the Galaxy Buds. Just a few months after the release of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro in January 2021, a curious coincidence occurred. However, the lack of new earphones with the Samsung Galaxy S22 series this year suggests that Samsung is taking its time releasing new hardware.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Watch 5 could all be introduced at the same time as the new generation of Galaxy Buds Pro. The Buds Pro are likely to be announced at Samsung’s August presentation, as is customary. The earbuds have also been confirmed to be in production, according to a report from Twitter user Max Jambor (@MaxJmb on Twitter).
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 possible price
The potential cost of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 is not yet known.
Until now, the earbud prices offered by Samsung have sounded reasonable. The Galaxy Buds Pro, whose name implies that these are Samsung’s top-of-the-line earphones, cost $199. It costs $149 to buy Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2, but you can often find them on sale for less.
For the second generation of the Galaxy Buds Pro, it’s probable that Samsung will continue to charge the same amount as the original model. According to a reliable source, Samsung may decide to raise the price of the Buds Pro 2 to $230 in the future.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 design
As with the original Galaxy Buds, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a slightly rounder shape and a variety of new color options. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are fashioned like a bean, while the Galaxy Buds 2 are more tiny.
Although Samsung is expected to make some improvements to the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 design, it is unlikely that the Galaxy Buds 2 will be as compact as the Galaxy Buds 2.
At the very least, we’ll be able to choose from a variety of colors. Zenith White, Zenith Bora Purple, and Zenith Graphite, according to Leaker (@ snoopytech_), are the three color possibilities for the Galaxy Buds Pro 2.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 features
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Buds Pro’s battery life is rated at five hours while using ANC, which translates to an average of 4 to 4.5 hours when using the headphones in high volume, streaming, and listening modes. ANC listening time was increased by 18 hours as a result of this instance.
For the Galaxy Buds Pro 2, we’d like to see better battery life. Why? We’re excited to see how far the Google Pixel Buds Pro can take noise cancelling headphones. With Active Noise Cancellation disabled, Google claims that the Pixel Buds Pro may be used for up to 11 hours of listening time, with a total of 31 hours with the charging case. ANC reduces that figure, but Google’s future earbuds should still sell in droves.
Support for 24-bit audio, a higher-resolution standard than the common 16-bit or lesser standards provided by streaming services, is one potential new feature for the Buds Pro 2. A 24-bit music player and a 24-bit streaming service or audio files are required to take advantage of this feature, however audiophiles may find it interesting.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 outlook
If you are looking for the best wireless earbuds on the market, go no further than Samsung’s wireless earbuds. Despite the fact that the Galaxy Buds don’t have the highest audio quality in the industry, they nevertheless have a lot of appeal because of their reasonable price.
The AirPods Pro 2 and the Google Pixel Buds will have stiff competition on the horizon. However, if the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 improve in every way, they’ll be an interesting pair of earbuds.
