5. Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
Samsung is doing an extraordinary job with their Galaxy Buds series, I loved the Buds1, of course, it has a few bugs but still, the sound quality is amazing for the price.
Let’s jump to the upgrade, the Buds2 Pro, is powered by 24-bit Hi-Fi audio, so the overall quality is enhanced. The ANC has improved this time, Active Noise Canceling comes with 3 high SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) microphones, and the Galaxy Buds2 Pro tracks and eliminates more outside sound — even soft sounds like wind.
The Buds2 Pro supports 360 Audio ie: it comes with Direct Multi-channel (5.1ch / 7.1ch / Dolby Atmos®) and enhanced head tracking makes every movement stay in sync — creating an immersive experience.
360 Audio can even pinpoint the direction of the sound as you move your head, giving you the spatial experience.
An iPhone-exclusive feature is now available on Samsung too, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro will automatically pop up on your Samsung Galaxy devices and are ready to connect with a tap.
Auto Switch on Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro intelligently detects mobile activity and seamlessly shifts its connection to your Samsung Galaxy phone, tablet and watch.
I love this feature actually, switching to answer the phone makes Samsung so unique. I loved the optimization in Buds2 Pro. It works even when you’re connected to a Samsung TV.
Once the Galaxy Buds2 Pro is connected to the Samsung TV via Bluetooth, there is no need to take the earbuds out to answer the phone. Incoming calls can be answered simply by tapping the Galaxy Buds2 Pro twice.
Users can preorder the Galaxy Buds2 Pro now for A$349.
