Samsung will hold the Galaxy Unpacked new product launch event next week, and it is expected that the Galaxy Buds 2 true wireless headphones will also be unveiled at the same time. In the past few weeks, a series of spy photos and pricing has been leaked online.
Now, SnoopyTech has shared more details of Galaxy Buds 2 specifications on Twitter. First of all, it is said that Galaxy Buds 2 has upgraded the Bluetooth 5.2 chip, which is a big improvement over the Bluetooth 5.0 chip of Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Pro.
Secondly, this upcoming true wireless headset is expected to support SBC, AAC and SSC codecs. If Samsung is interested, Galaxy Buds 2 can obviously also consider introducing support for the newly launched LC3 low-complexity communication codec and low-power Bluetooth audio from the Bluetooth SIG.

Thanks to the three microphones integrated on each headset, Galaxy Buds 2 will also support Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode. In addition, Galaxy Buds 2 has a dual-drive unit configuration similar to Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Pro. Each earphone has an 11mm low frequency and a 6.3mm tweeter, which can provide more abundance than traditional TWS earphones. Sound details.
In terms of battery life, the headset body of the Galaxy Buds 2 is slightly inferior to the Galaxy Buds+. When the ANC function is turned off/on, it only has 8/5 hours of battery life. But with the sleek portable charging storage box, this number has increased to 20/13 hours.
Users can charge the Galaxy Buds 2 storage box through the USB-C data cable or Qi wireless charging adapter, and only need to put the headset in the box for 5 minutes, which can quickly increase the battery life by 55 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that Galaxy Buds 2 has also improved the pairing process, has an IPX7 waterproof rating, and provides four color options of black, olive green, purple, and white. Finally, the Galaxy Buds 2 is expected to be priced at US$150 (about 969 RMB) and compete with similar products such as Beats Studio Buds and OnePlus Buds Pro, but it also seems to lack the 360° audio support on the Galaxy Buds Pro.
As for the truth, please be patient and wait for Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked new product launch conference to be announced on August 11.
