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

The Buds2 come in four different colors, but the cases are all the same glossy white color on the outside. The interior and the buds themselves come in black, white, lavender, and olive green. They're more compact than the Buds Pro, and the bodies are all the same glossy plastic all the way around. There are three microphones, which enable active noise cancelation. With that feature enabled, the Buds2 are rated for five hours per charge. Without ANC, they can play for about 7.5 hours. Of course, these are Samsung's numbers—it would not be unusual for real-life longevity to be lower. The case has another four-ish charge cycles inside, though.

Caution: Earbuds are not guaranteed to make you this happy.

GALAXY BUDS2

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. The Buds Pro are $200, and the Buds Live are $160. However, these products are often discounted at other retailers. The Buds Pro are down to 0-170 pretty consistently, which might make the Buds2 a harder sell. You can pre-order the Buds2 today, but I bet most people picking them up will be using the Samsung credit that comes with ordering one of the snazzy new foldables. You can even color-match them to the phone.
