They do not fall, constant music and ally of the Galaxy Watch 6

The last headphones I tried from Samsung were the Galaxy Buds in 2021 and they covered everything you can expect from wireless headphones in sound quality and experience, but in sports practice, when doing runningand being a good music lover and a picky audiophile, placed in the ear shell of my ears, they ‘loosened’ a little to lose effectiveness and power in both volume and bass and midrange. Everything has changed with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

In fact, when I received them to prepare for the Zurich Rock’n’Roll Running Series Madrid with Samsung GO, I was still afraid that the same experience would return. That is, you put them on, you start running and with the swing of your strides, the logical thing is that they begin to loosen the ear shell a little as happened with the Galaxy Buds. This was the fear I felt and so, for a few days, I continued using other headphones that in this sense fit well when done. runningthe Huawei Freebuds 5i.

Here brands that launch wireless headphones play with different designs: from the supraauditory types (On-ear) like the Apple AirPods to the new Motorola Buds+, to the hook type like the Soundcore Sport X10. Within the over-hearing devices, the most common among technological brands, there is a wide variety of designs and depending on the needs of each person there are some that adapt better than others, either due to their better active noise cancellation, their audio quality , on calls or simply because they do not fall when playing sports. In my case, the quality of the audio and that they remain fixed is vital.

Back to my fear of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, I finally decided to try them, especially because I knew that, as a whole, they offer a great experience and in the audio, of course, they also stand out a lot; one of the aspects to which I always give all the importance; and I repeat about music lovers and fussy audiophiles.

Before moving on to the experience of using them, a small reminder of the best specifications of these headphones: 24-bit Hi-Fi sound, active noise cancellation (ANC) with three high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) microphones, ergonomic design for a comfortable fit and 360 audio. Other details are Bluetooth 5.3, IPX7 resistance for water, SSC HiFi, AAC and SBC audio codecs, voice detection, calls and 5 and 8 hours of autonomy with ANC and without ANC respectively (without case).

I have to remember that when I run, I don’t like to do it at a trot, but I always try to put one more gear, since I have always liked to go out and do running as well as practicing other sports such as soccer. What I want to say is at the rate I’m going it already pushes the design and sound of the headphones to the limit when playing sports, so the test was maximum for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

And for my surprise: Samsung has been capable with the design of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro —Different from the Galaxy Buds with an ergonomic design and wind flow technology to reduce ear canal pressure— that they fit perfectly to the ear shell of my ear, and even if they can come loose ‘a little’, both the volume and the quality of bass, midrange and treble are never lost and are well maintained.

An important piece of information to better understand my need: to make running I listen to electronic music, so just that the bass is always there without losing power or volume, pushing with every stride I takeit is vital in my case.

The initial pleasant surprise It soon became “well, let’s see how they behave in a few minutes”since the fear was still present that at some point I would have to adjust them while doing running. Time passed and passed until I simply forgot that I was wearing them and let myself get carried away by the electronic music session, the kilometers that remained ahead and the wear and tear produced by doing sessions of five sets of two kilometers running and one walking quickly (a total 15 km).

Galaxy Watch 6 Companion

And there is the answer, in the end the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 They have become inseparable companions every time I go running. (and yes, I’m sorry for those from Huawei, how fond I was of them), as well as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 that has been able to show my advanced running metrics to indicate that I can improve my flight time (in which the feet are in the air or touching the ground) to make an effort to lift my knee higher when I run, and another piece of information that has been given to me in recent days.

One that has its importance, but that has its logic, since the workouts saved with the Galaxy Watch 6, being transferred to Samsung Health on the Galaxy S24 Ultra showed that he was losing some verticality; The logic for it to happen is that I have been doing sessions of running of 10 km day after day in preparation for the Zurich Rock’n’Roll Running Series Madrid on April 28.

And as, getting used to such a distance is not easy. I now know, thanks to the Galaxy Watch 6’s measurement of my stride, that I need to be more aware of the vertical oscillation when I walk. running, especially in the last two kilometers of 10 km, which is when this constant appears; and yes, I don’t have to force myself so much (or boycott myself) so that that day comes when I can do the 10 km without the effort it requires now, and I can maintain the vertical in the stride constantly from first to last. last kilometer.
