WEBVTT 00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:04.860 - When in Samsung (chuckles) do as the buds do. 00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:09.200 Do as the buds to. Galaxy Buds 2, that's what we're looking at today. 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:11.593 Ever heard of that saying, Jono. Everyone says it. 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. 00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.270 Zeus, seriously, man. Hermes is like trying to stop him, 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. 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.430 It's been a while since I've gotten a chance to look at some buds. 00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:34.220 So thanks Gianno. He's the guy. 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. 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, 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. 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 00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:58.723 They're called the Galaxy buds live, but they look like beans. 00:00:58.723 --> 00:01:02.990 Beans! All right enough rambling though. Let's open these up and take a look. 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. 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.010 - You guys need to use a knife? - Wait, no. I do not need a knife. 00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.300 I peel off the tape and the paper box sticks to it. 00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:17.483 This is going to weigh heavily in my evaluation of this thing. 00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:23.630 That's disgusting. Okay. What are we got in the box? We got the buds. 00:01:23.630 --> 00:01:26.730 We got a little box with what? 00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.800 A charging cord that is USBC. 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.713 Of course. Anything else is unacceptable these days. Apple, 00:01:34.713 --> 00:01:37.750 we got extra ear bud tips. 00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:42.900 We have some papers. Get connected. Okay, so I downloaded the galaxy wearable app, 00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:46.000 so that'll be ready to go. And I'm ready. 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. 00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:54.720 Wait, okay I'm seeing the buds before I see them. 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. 00:01:59.350 --> 00:02:02.663 That's too bad. Oh no. 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. 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 00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:22.200 with Samsung Galaxy, but since I reviewed the first galaxy buds, 00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:25.200 Jimmy let's show a clip of that, okay? 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:28.570 From the first bud's review. Now, overall, our experience with the galaxy buds 00:02:28.570 --> 00:02:32.690 has been pretty freaking sweet. But the one thing that was kind of irritating 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. 00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:39.740 I took them out of the case before I even paired them to a phone. 00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:41.793 What am I doing? How easy is it to? 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 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, 00:02:53.170 --> 00:02:55.440 then it'll probably be better. And then you can try. 00:02:56.430 --> 00:02:59.530 Let's pair first with my Pixel 3. 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. 00:03:03.810 --> 00:03:07.400 Pairing begin. I need to install a plugin? 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.630 That's dumb. A few legal items to review. 00:03:11.630 --> 00:03:14.643 Report and diagnostic data. No, thank you. 00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:20.290 This is so funny. Remember when connecting a Bluetooth device just meant like 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. 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.890 Never leave me. You chose me. 00:03:29.890 --> 00:03:33.480 You're all set. Okay. We're finally here. 00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:36.870 Time to put them in my (beep). But first our sponsor. 00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:40.620 Private internet access is a VPN that lets you access services and websites 00:03:40.620 --> 00:03:44.110 as if you were in a different country. It encrypts all of your internet traffic, 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, 00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:51.270 for Windows, Mac iOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and more. 00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:54.970 Buy a one-year plan for $39.95 at the link in the video description. 00:03:56.730 --> 00:04:00.203 Now, Samsung teach me your ways. 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.950 Okay, active noise canceling is on. Like, if I'm speaking, I can't hear you. 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. 00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.140 I only wish I could touch you. So, my gold standard for active noise canceling with, 00:04:16.140 --> 00:04:19.980 Whoa. Now I can hear. I turned it to ambient sound, I guess. 00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:24.670 Whoa. So yeah, as I was saying, my gold standard for a active noise cancellation 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. 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, 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, 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, 00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:45.090 as long as nothing distracts me. A social media notification. 00:04:45.090 --> 00:04:49.120 No! So this is just no active noise cancellation, just passive. 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.470 But it's a seal in my ear. Speak, Gianno speak. - [Gianno] Hey, how you doing? 00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:56.611 - Continue. - [Gianno] I sure like movies. - Okay, yeah. 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, 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:05.054 is that they have two beam forming mics and then one microphone facing in 00:05:05.054 --> 00:05:09.510 as most of these active noise cancellation earbuds have, 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. 00:05:14.210 --> 00:05:17.610 I'm on ambient noise right now though. And it sounds pretty natural. 00:05:17.610 --> 00:05:20.740 Like as I'm talking, my voice playing back to me sounds a bit, 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. 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. 00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:35.390 Deep down. Music. Let's play some music. I'll put it back to, 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. 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. 00:05:43.130 --> 00:05:46.930 But I believe that the gist is that there are uncompressed audio files. 00:05:46.930 --> 00:05:50.620 So you're getting lossless. Fleetwood Mac. 00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:52.333 Tell me which way I should go. 00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:57.553 Skip to the chorus. That's verse two. 00:06:01.510 --> 00:06:06.270 Pretty good. Seems pretty balanced. I know that the app has an equalizer though. 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. 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? 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. 00:06:20.690 --> 00:06:24.880 But I would really like to see that fricking, the real equalizer. 00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:28.383 Another day in paradise, Phil Collins. Bass boost. 00:06:31.570 --> 00:06:34.593 I'm not really noticing like a ton of difference between each of the things, 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. 00:06:38.750 --> 00:06:43.170 Tell me what's up Beyonce. Okay. Oh yeah. 00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:47.730 She's the queen, queen bae. So here's the problem 00:06:47.730 --> 00:06:52.050 with not having some sort of visualization. I'm clicking the thing and I'm like, 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. 00:06:55.390 --> 00:06:58.960 Like I know bass boost is boosting the bass and I know soft is probably like 00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:02.683 lowering the mids and highs. I don't even know. 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, 00:07:06.310 --> 00:07:10.700 I don't actually know how much they're changing. Samsung, you're a big company. 00:07:10.700 --> 00:07:14.200 You're the apple of Android. Just put in a real equalizer, okay? 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 00:07:18.940 --> 00:07:24.030 listening time, and then 15 more in the case. So that's 20 hours total. 00:07:24.030 --> 00:07:28.370 If my maths are correct. It's charging, it's a wireless charging case. 00:07:28.370 --> 00:07:32.520 Nice Samsung. One thing that I didn't notice earlier, 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, 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. 00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:44.150 And so when I put them in my ears, they're quite lightweight. 00:07:44.150 --> 00:07:47.870 Do they look like mini eggs? I mean, they're lavender, that also is probably contributing. 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. 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? 00:07:58.370 --> 00:08:01.470 The app should tell me, Hey. Oh, I have them disabled. 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:05.010 Okay. So double tap and triple tap will do. Next and previous. 00:08:05.010 --> 00:08:08.700 Touch and hold. We'll switch noise controls. Or you can customize it. 00:08:08.700 --> 00:08:11.730 That's good. I'll give them big points for that because oftentimes, 00:08:11.730 --> 00:08:16.510 these air buds have controls on them, which are great, but you can't customize them. 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, 00:08:20.880 --> 00:08:23.930 a new chip called the voice pickup unit. 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 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. 00:08:33.810 --> 00:08:35.643 That's nice. David yell something. 00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:42.230 Apparently this app has an earbud fit test. Check your earbud fit 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. 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. 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. 00:08:53.670 --> 00:08:56.343 Is this like complete vaporware? It's snake oil. 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 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. 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. 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. 00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:17.360 You must have goodness in your heart as a collective corporation. 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.880 These ones have the auto switch. So like with similar galaxy devices, 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:24.250 your galaxy phone, your galaxy watch, your galaxy book, 00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:27.260 you can like switch between them easily. Sort of like the AirPods do with Apple. 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, 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, 00:09:35.410 --> 00:09:39.500 working on your fitness. Oh, I haven't tested it on the Galaxy yet. 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. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.853 Beyonce. YouTube Music is the default player. Kill me. 00:09:49.853 --> 00:09:54.210 This might sound better. I think there's more definition. This is not a huge difference. 00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:57.630 I feel like they do sound a little better on the Samsung. Dang it, man. 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, 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 00:10:05.090 --> 00:10:08.560 on the Pixel than they do on other things. AirPods sound a little better on iPhones 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 00:10:14.140 --> 00:10:17.670 into their platforms. The Galaxy Buds 2 still represent 00:10:17.670 --> 00:10:20.700 a pretty good value proposition for me. They're light. 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 00:10:25.910 --> 00:10:30.690 Galaxy Buds to the sequel, to the original. Hopefully they continue doing stuff like this 00:10:30.690 --> 00:10:35.650 and hopefully the price goes down even more and maybe you can deal with it sounding not so great 00:10:35.650 --> 00:10:39.270 on your non Samsung device. Well, that's it for a ShortCircuit guys. 00:10:39.270 --> 00:10:42.653 I don't know if you've ever seen one before, but this is what they are. Thanks for watching. 00:10:42.653 --> 00:10:47.420 Subscribe and follow all the channels that you like to do in the world. 00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:52.203 And I love you. This is a vegan restaurant.
