Samsung launched its latest pair of wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 2 at the Unpacked event back in August. And now, Samsung Nepal has brought these earbuds to the domestic market as well. Let's take a look at specs, features, official price in Nepal, and availability of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Overview:

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 is a successor to the original Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live. However, it is heavily based on the Galaxy Buds Pro that came earlier this year.

Design

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 arrives in an all-white carrying case with a Samsung logo on the lid. If not for the glossy white finish, one can easily mistake it for the Buds Pro's case. Inside, you get a matte interior that matches the color of earbuds. It also houses the "Tuned by AKG" branding.Talking about the earbuds, they have an in-ear design with silicone tips that we are all familiar with. Each earbud weighs only 5 grams. Together with a 41.2g case, Galaxy Buds 2 makes up a really portable package.Unfortunately, the Buds 2 only has an IPX2 rating. Thus, you should be careful not to expose it to dust, water, and other environmental factors.

Features

Galaxy Buds 2 will support the newer Bluetooth 5.2 protocol over Bluetooth 5.0 on previous models. It connects to your smartphone using the Samsung Wearable app. The app lets you customize touch controls, play with different audio presets and modes.Moving on, Galaxy Buds 2 gives continuity to a dual-driver setup with a dedicated woofer and a tweeter. The earbuds support audio codecs like SBC, AAC, and the proprietary Samsung Scalable Codec (SSC). Then there is a 3-mic system for better call quality,  Active Noise Cancellation, and Ambient mode.
