Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro Bluetooth Earbuds in Black

Black Buds2 Pro, model SM-R510

This listing is the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro in the black color named in the title. The Pro model number is SM-R510. That is not the Galaxy Buds2, which is SM-R177, and it is not the original Galaxy Buds Pro or the later Galaxy Buds3. The published spec split is the point of this page: same family name, different model, different radio, and different battery cells.

Veloura LLC sells these earbuds independently of Samsung stores.

Specs published for the Pro

The Pro spec table lists each earbud at 21.6 by 19.9 by 18.7 mm and 5.5 g, with a case at 50 by 50 by 28 mm and 43.3 g. Bluetooth is 5.3. Earbud cells are 58 mAh and the case cell is 500 mAh. Sensors add a gyroscope and a voice pickup unit on top of the accelerometer, hall, proximity, and touch sensors used on the non-Pro Buds2. The Pro write-up includes active noise cancellation, 24-bit hi-fi audio when paired with a Samsung phone on One UI 4.0 or later, and 360-degree audio. Samsung's product page states that the IPX7 mark is a lab test for submersion in up to 1 meter of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. A separate Samsung page says the Samsung Seamless Codec carries 24-bit audio to the Buds2 Pro.

What the rating does not cover

IPX7 is not a promise for pool chemicals, salt water, or the charging case. The 24-bit path is described for compatible Samsung phones, not for every phone in a pocket. Charge the case before a long day, seat the buds so they actually charge, and try the tips that seal before you judge the noise cancellation. Tips, a cable, or a spare case are included only if the box lists them. A Buds2, Buds FE, or Buds3 set will not match this SM-R510 case.
