1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,860
- When in Samsung (chuckles) do as the buds do.

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:09,200
Do as the buds to. Galaxy Buds 2, that's what we're looking at today.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,593
Ever heard of that saying, Jono. Everyone says it.

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,200
I think it had something to do with Greece. Zeus. Zeus stop turning into a bird (beep) of people.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,270
Zeus, seriously, man. Hermes is like trying to stop him,

6
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:26,000
but he just can't, it's too small. That's right. It's the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,430
It's been a while since I've gotten a chance to look at some buds.

8
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:34,220
So thanks Gianno. He's the guy.

9
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:39,090
You probably wouldn't have known that I reviewed it, but I reviewed the first Galaxy Buds on LTT.

10
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:43,820
I liked them a lot. I think they launched for 150. They might've been 120 and you know,

11
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:48,180
you can buy one of those cheap other ones if you really want to. But the alternative options have gotten a lot better.

12
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:54,710
So this one it has ANC, just like the galaxy buds pro and the galaxy beans buds live

13
00:00:54,710 --> 00:00:58,723
They're called the Galaxy buds live, but they look like beans.

14
00:00:58,723 --> 00:01:02,990
Beans! All right enough rambling though. Let's open these up and take a look.

15
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:07,280
I got the, what color is that? Lavender? I feel like I might need a knife for these.

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,010
- You guys need to use a knife? - Wait, no. I do not need a knife.

17
00:01:11,010 --> 00:01:14,300
I peel off the tape and the paper box sticks to it.

18
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,483
This is going to weigh heavily in my evaluation of this thing.

19
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:23,630
That's disgusting. Okay. What are we got in the box? We got the buds.

20
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:26,730
We got a little box with what?

21
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:29,800
A charging cord that is USBC.

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,713
Of course. Anything else is unacceptable these days. Apple,

23
00:01:34,713 --> 00:01:37,750
we got extra ear bud tips.

24
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:42,900
We have some papers. Get connected. Okay, so I downloaded the galaxy wearable app,

25
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:46,000
so that'll be ready to go. And I'm ready.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,030
After I read all the terms and conditions in today's society, you can't take a chance.

27
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:54,720
Wait, okay I'm seeing the buds before I see them.

28
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,350
That's cheating. Okay, here we go. Here's the buds. So the case themselves are not lavender.

29
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:02,663
That's too bad. Oh no.

30
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:12,350
It looks tasty. I want to eat it. Then it's got a red light on there.

31
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:17,870
Is that a warning? I don't care. Okay, so I haven't really had a intimate experience

32
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:22,200
with Samsung Galaxy, but since I reviewed the first galaxy buds,

33
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Jimmy let's show a clip of that, okay?

34
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,570
From the first bud's review. Now, overall, our experience with the galaxy buds

35
00:02:28,570 --> 00:02:32,690
has been pretty freaking sweet. But the one thing that was kind of irritating

36
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:35,930
about their design, was the fact that they kind of stuck out from your ear a little bit.

37
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:39,740
I took them out of the case before I even paired them to a phone.

38
00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:41,793
What am I doing? How easy is it to?

39
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:49,130
Oh my god. So like I'm trying to put it in there, and the ear tip is like bumping into stuff

40
00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:53,170
and then there's too much friction. It's not sliding in. Once I lubricate it with my ear wax,

41
00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:55,440
then it'll probably be better. And then you can try.

42
00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:59,530
Let's pair first with my Pixel 3.

43
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:03,810
And then I also have a Samsung Galaxy S 21 to see how it works with the Samsung device.

44
00:03:03,810 --> 00:03:07,400
Pairing begin. I need to install a plugin?

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,630
That's dumb. A few legal items to review.

46
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:14,643
Report and diagnostic data. No, thank you.

47
00:03:16,150 --> 00:03:20,290
This is so funny. Remember when connecting a Bluetooth device just meant like

48
00:03:20,290 --> 00:03:26,280
connected and now it's like getting married. It's like making a commitment to your Bluetooth earbuds.

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,890
Never leave me. You chose me.

50
00:03:29,890 --> 00:03:33,480
You're all set. Okay. We're finally here.

51
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,870
Time to put them in my (beep). But first our sponsor.

52
00:03:36,870 --> 00:03:40,620
Private internet access is a VPN that lets you access services and websites

53
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:44,110
as if you were in a different country. It encrypts all of your internet traffic,

54
00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:48,020
and uses a safe, protected IP. So you can connect up to 10 devices at once with clients,

55
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:51,270
for Windows, Mac iOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and more.

56
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:54,970
Buy a one-year plan for $39.95 at the link in the video description.

57
00:03:56,730 --> 00:04:00,203
Now, Samsung teach me your ways.

58
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,950
Okay, active noise canceling is on. Like, if I'm speaking, I can't hear you.

59
00:04:05,950 --> 00:04:10,760
I have to stop speaking. And then it will kind of like come through as if through a barrier.

60
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,140
I only wish I could touch you. So, my gold standard for active noise canceling with,

61
00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:19,980
Whoa. Now I can hear. I turned it to ambient sound, I guess.

62
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:24,670
Whoa. So yeah, as I was saying, my gold standard for a active noise cancellation

63
00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:28,730
with wireless earbuds is the AirPods pro cause I reviewed those as well. Or I wrote the script anyways.

64
00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:33,540
Once you put them in and an active noise canceling is on, you just feel like you're sitting in this void,

65
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:37,620
which I think is active noise cancellation is supposed to do, like, if you're supposed to,

66
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:40,980
once you turn it on, you're supposed to just kind of feel isolated. And you're just like, oh man,

67
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:45,090
as long as nothing distracts me. A social media notification.

68
00:04:45,090 --> 00:04:49,120
No! So this is just no active noise cancellation, just passive.

69
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,470
But it's a seal in my ear. Speak, Gianno speak. - [Gianno] Hey, how you doing?

70
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:56,611
- Continue. - [Gianno] I sure like movies. - Okay, yeah.

71
00:04:56,611 --> 00:05:00,790
So you are like a little quieter with the active noise cancellation. One of the things about these, I guess,

72
00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:05,054
is that they have two beam forming mics and then one microphone facing in

73
00:05:05,054 --> 00:05:09,510
as most of these active noise cancellation earbuds have,

74
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:14,210
because they need to hear what's going on outside and then cancel it out with the microphone facing inwards.

75
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:17,610
I'm on ambient noise right now though. And it sounds pretty natural.

76
00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:20,740
Like as I'm talking, my voice playing back to me sounds a bit,

77
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:26,460
a little bit like it's coming through a radio, but when you speak, it doesn't sound radio like at all.

78
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:31,420
It just sounds like, like I'm just hearing you, you know? The real, who you really are.

79
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:35,390
Deep down. Music. Let's play some music. I'll put it back to,

80
00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:39,740
I'm just going to turn it off and see to start. I downloaded some flac files.

81
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:43,130
What's flac? I wouldn't trust myself to give a good explanation of what flac files are.

82
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:46,930
But I believe that the gist is that there are uncompressed audio files.

83
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:50,620
So you're getting lossless. Fleetwood Mac.

84
00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:52,333
Tell me which way I should go.

85
00:05:55,060 --> 00:05:57,553
Skip to the chorus. That's verse two.

86
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:06,270
Pretty good. Seems pretty balanced. I know that the app has an equalizer though.

87
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:09,930
So I want to play around with that because I don't even know what profile I'm on.

88
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:17,050
They did it again. They did it again! Why can't we have a real equalizer in these apps?

89
00:06:17,050 --> 00:06:20,690
This is always a problem. Every single time, this is better than nothing. This is better than nothing.

90
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:24,880
But I would really like to see that fricking, the real equalizer.

91
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,383
Another day in paradise, Phil Collins. Bass boost.

92
00:06:31,570 --> 00:06:34,593
I'm not really noticing like a ton of difference between each of the things,

93
00:06:34,593 --> 00:06:38,750
but maybe that's because different ones would sound a lot better for different genres of music.

94
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:43,170
Tell me what's up Beyonce. Okay. Oh yeah.

95
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:47,730
She's the queen, queen bae. So here's the problem

96
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:52,050
with not having some sort of visualization. I'm clicking the thing and I'm like,

97
00:06:52,050 --> 00:06:55,390
I think that sounds better, but I'm not sure. I don't actually know what it's doing.

98
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:58,960
Like I know bass boost is boosting the bass and I know soft is probably like

99
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,683
lowering the mids and highs. I don't even know.

100
00:07:02,683 --> 00:07:06,310
I don't know what they're doing, I can guess. But if they're just named certain things,

101
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:10,700
I don't actually know how much they're changing. Samsung, you're a big company.

102
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:14,200
You're the apple of Android. Just put in a real equalizer, okay?

103
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,940
Love you. So I don't think I said the battery life. These are supposed to have five hours of battery life

104
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:24,030
listening time, and then 15 more in the case. So that's 20 hours total.

105
00:07:24,030 --> 00:07:28,370
If my maths are correct. It's charging, it's a wireless charging case.

106
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:32,520
Nice Samsung. One thing that I didn't notice earlier,

107
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,990
but I didn't really say is that they're really, really light. I feel like a lot of ear buds,

108
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:40,200
you find these days, you know, they're putting more and more stuff into them. They're putting chips into them.

109
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,150
And so when I put them in my ears, they're quite lightweight.

110
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:47,870
Do they look like mini eggs? I mean, they're lavender, that also is probably contributing.

111
00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:53,190
For me, I would definitely get either the white or the graphite. Also the controls, which I accidentally triggered earlier.

112
00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:58,370
I didn't talk about. So there's obviously the play, pause. Does it skip tracks with the double?

113
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:01,470
The app should tell me, Hey. Oh, I have them disabled.

114
00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:05,010
Okay. So double tap and triple tap will do. Next and previous.

115
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:08,700
Touch and hold. We'll switch noise controls. Or you can customize it.

116
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,730
That's good. I'll give them big points for that because oftentimes,

117
00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:16,510
these air buds have controls on them, which are great, but you can't customize them.

118
00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:20,880
You know, that's good to see. But pertaining to the lightness, this actually has a dedicated,

119
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,930
a new chip called the voice pickup unit.

120
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:29,100
That's supposed to help with picking up like voices, and helping the machine learning model to like block out

121
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:33,810
things that you don't want to keep the things that you do want. So even with an extra chip, they're still quite light.

122
00:08:33,810 --> 00:08:35,643
That's nice. David yell something.

123
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:42,230
Apparently this app has an earbud fit test. Check your earbud fit

124
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:45,380
to make sure you're getting the best sound in active noise canceling. Put your earbuds in to start.

125
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:50,380
Oh, it's making noises. You got a good fit. All right, well, I'm going to try it.

126
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:53,670
I'm going to try the big one. Cause like maybe it just tells you, you have a good fit every time.

127
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:56,343
Is this like complete vaporware? It's snake oil.

128
00:08:58,050 --> 00:09:02,280
Poor fit. This is kind of cool. Cause I feel like a lot of people try new earbuds

129
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,810
and they're just kind of like, oh, I didn't like them. And it didn't like, feel good in my ear or whatever.

130
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:09,320
But now this is like, Hey, you spent the money. You got the thing in your hand.

131
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,460
Might as well do a little bit of work to make sure that you're happy with it. That's nice, Samsung.

132
00:09:13,460 --> 00:09:17,360
You must have goodness in your heart as a collective corporation.

133
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,880
These ones have the auto switch. So like with similar galaxy devices,

134
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,250
your galaxy phone, your galaxy watch, your galaxy book,

135
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:27,260
you can like switch between them easily. Sort of like the AirPods do with Apple.

136
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:31,500
You can just like select the thing and you can also control stuff on your galaxy watch,

137
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:35,410
which I can see being very useful if you're like going for a run. If you're using these things for fitness,

138
00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:39,500
working on your fitness. Oh, I haven't tested it on the Galaxy yet.

139
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:45,170
So real quick, apparently I've heard people say that it sounds like music in general sounds better on the Galaxy.

140
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,853
Beyonce. YouTube Music is the default player. Kill me.

141
00:09:49,853 --> 00:09:54,210
This might sound better. I think there's more definition. This is not a huge difference.

142
00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:57,630
I feel like they do sound a little better on the Samsung. Dang it, man.

143
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:01,510
I wish they would stop doing that. I mean, it's not like they sound bad on the Pixel,

144
00:10:01,510 --> 00:10:05,090
but like I saw the same thing with Google where like their Pixel buds sound a little better

145
00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:08,560
on the Pixel than they do on other things. AirPods sound a little better on iPhones

146
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:14,140
than they do on other things. So, just be aware of that. But despite these companies trying to lock people

147
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:17,670
into their platforms. The Galaxy Buds 2 still represent

148
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:20,700
a pretty good value proposition for me. They're light.

149
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:25,910
I loved the whole Galaxy Buds line, particularly the first ones and these seem to be the true

150
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:30,690
Galaxy Buds to the sequel, to the original. Hopefully they continue doing stuff like this
