The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a case made of matte, rubberized plastic that is in the shape of a square with rounded corners. In contrast to other cases, this one is nice and easy to hold. The material is unfortunately easy to scratch, and you can’t buff it out like you can with some plastics. Magnets hold the lid shut, but the case itself is also like a lint trap in a clothes dryer because it attracts dust.
The shape of the case is like a jewelry box, and the lid feels pretty sturdy. It has strong magnets inside that pull the buds into the case, but they don’t exactly fit into their slots. I have to move the earbuds around sometimes to get them to fit right.
The silicone ear tips come in three sizes: 11mm, 13mm, and 15mm. They are pretty useful. They are easy to change out, which is nice because some ear tips are hard to change. Make sure you choose the right set by using the app’s Fit Test.
Even though the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don’t have the most secure fit, they are some of the most comfortable buds to wear for long periods of time. Sometimes the battery will run out before I can take the buds out of my ears, and I won’t even realize how many hours have passed.

Where to get SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro?
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are great for commuting and traveling. These well-made buds are small and light enough to carry with you, and they are comfortable enough to wear on long trips. They have ANC, which helps block out the low rumbles of bus and plane engines. Their continuous battery life is less than six hours, which might not be enough for transatlantic flights, but their carrying case comes with 2.6 extra charges in case you need them.
When paired with any device, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro can be used right away. But if you have an Android phone and Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app, you can change the audio EQ in small ways, reassign some touch controls, and choose to have Bixby read you your notifications.
