Dylan Mason, 10 Aug 2022"Clearer and richer audio" jesus murphy, clichés ... moreTotally agree with you. But sorry to say, we're living in a fools' paradise, with not many possibilities out.
On one hand, Google makes changes to its Android 9 OS, that make them less supportive music playback devices. On the other, we have 24 bit devices being forecasted as high quality, with use of word HiFi. Most probably, they'll be used with 16 bit, 128-256kbps MP3's.
I'm confident that my LG G8x with Soundmagic earphones sounds way better than this 24 bit wireless TWS does, specially with PC encoded FLAC files.
Yet, the customer will buy them with unreal expectations, and majority of them don't even know what real audio quality is, because they never experienced it, or they consider quality as high volume, use of effects & equalizers, etc.

Anonymous, 11 Aug 2022How is $230 expensive? It is, when you consider sound quality won't most likely be anything worth while.

Kev, 10 Aug 2022Good audio can't exactly be quantified lol
We'... moreYeah, you might be in a bit of a pickle, as there are quite a few good reviewers for audio products on tech sites.
Usually you get 90% of the review describing the app, mics, ANC and tiny paragraf that says "They sound good.".
Good luck with reviews, I really hope you will find at least one good, real review for these headphones.

Kev, 10 Aug 2022Unlike phones, you guys can't judge this based on the ... moreHaving Buds Pro, I don't really see the point of upgrading, except for the matte finish, which I wanted since the start since I avoid anything glossy. Batterly life is the same too, the mic were already good but the ANC wasnt on par with the Sony XM4 (Which have a slightly inferior mic for conversation / phone call, other users prefer the sound/captation of the Buds Pro over the Sony), perhaps this will be interesting ? Doubt it, it's a release to milk money and they'll be priced at 150 in 5-7 month (Or less with cashback in December) and 120-130 in a year. So yeah, I'll wait and let other enjoy the beta stage 😎

What happened to the glossy design, was it a fingerprint magnet?

Unlike phones, you guys can't judge this based on the specs. I'm excited to try this, although I am concerned that they only claim a 3 dB increase in ANC.
Samsung's buds have all sounded very well in the past. So these Pro 2s have big shoes to fill. And I am confident that these will sound great.

Anonymous, 10 Aug 2022Which design fits you better? Airpods 1 design? Galaxy Buds+ design was top and the oval shape of the case, even better in the hand 🌞
Still use them for Audio on PC, because for music the quality isn't the best (specially vs Buds Pro / Sony XM4)

"Clearer and richer audio" jesus murphy, clichés much? That's not what 24-bit audio does at all. It's an increased dynamic range over standard 16-bit audio. That's all it is. Unless you have lossless 24-bit files stored on your phone or a streaming platform supporting such, this will not impact your regular day-to-day use at all. It also means nothing unless they're pairing a new lossless codec with it, otherwise it's just another lossy LDAC clone with HALF the bandwidth capabilities that a standard 24-bit/44.1kHz file requires.
They have a 10mm woofer and 5.4mm tweeter. Not a single 10mm driver. "360 degree audio" is also just a surround DSP, and it doesn't actually add anything beneficial.
Come on guys, do more than preach the marketing material to us. Please? Or at least do THAT right.
