Consumer tech review: Samsung Galaxy Buds2 (in-ear wireless headphones)

I purchased my lavender pair of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 in-ear headphones in September 2021 thanks to a recommendation from a friend.

Me listening to music on public transport with the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 headphones in lavender whilst wearing sunglasses, dangle earrings and a mask.

TL;DR

Likes: Light weight, compact and comfortable fit, ease of pausing, can still wear (big) earrings / mask

Dislikes: Full functionality not compatible with iPhone, no tactile buttons so it takes a while to get used to the senors which are quite sensitive

This was my first purchase of in-ear headphones without a wire in sight! Previously my in-ear headphones always had the buds connected by a wire which was convenient to hang around your neck when not in use or reduce the probability of losing them. So it has been a little but of an adjustment.

Often I’ve had an issue with my small ears to find a pair that feel comfortable and will stay in place for longer periods of time. Previously I’ve had to purchase in-ear headphones with a minor attachment to hook/rest on my outer ear to keep them securely in place. I was pleasantly surprised that the fit of these headphones felt good!

There are 3 sizes for the in-ear tips and for me the most suitable size was the smallest. Each ear bud is very light(~5g each) so I can wear them for hours without discomfort. Even after…
