There are immutable truths, even in these uncertain times. The sun will rise in the east, the tides come and go, Coke is better than Pepsi, and Samsung can’t go more than a few months without releasing new headphones. The Buds Pro debuted earlier this year, and now there’s a new entry in Samsung’s true wireless lineup. The often-leaked Galaxy Buds2 are official with a price tag of $ 149.99, which is $ 50 less than the Buds Pro (when they’re not on sale). They also have most of the same characteristics.

The Buds2 come in four different colors, but the housings are all the same bright white color on the outside. The interior and the buds themselves are available in black, white, lavender, and olive green. They’re more compact than the Buds Pro, and the bodies are all the same shiny plastic all around. There are three microphones, which provide active noise cancellation. With this feature enabled, Buds2 are rated for five hours per charge. Without ANC, they can play for about 7.5 hours. Of course, those are the numbers from Samsung – it wouldn’t be unusual for the actual longevity to be less. The case has four more charge cycles inside, however.

Attention: Headphones are not guaranteed to make you so happy.

Samsung says the Buds Pro and Buds Live will continue as part of its personal audio lineup. The Buds2 will therefore be the cheapest option available, but not by much. Buds Pro are $ 200 and Buds Live $ 160. However, these products are often discounted at other retailers. Buds Pro are $ 140-170 fairly steadily, which might make Buds2 harder to sell. You can pre-order the Buds2 today, but I’ll bet most people who pick them up will use the Samsung credit that came with ordering one of the sleek new foldables. You can even match them to the colors of the phone.
