The first Galaxy Buds 2 software update makes great earbuds even better

The Galaxy Buds 2 pick up their first update before most people get their hands on them.

What you need to know

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 have been spotted with a new update.
The update brings new features, additional touch controls, and improved system stability.
The update is rolling out in S. Korea and is likely to reach other regions soon.

Our Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review showed that the new entry-level earbuds could definitely hold their own against the premium Galaxy Buds Pro, and now a new update is already rolling out to give the earbuds a nice boost before they reach customers' hands.

First spotted by TizenHelp, the update appears to be nearly 3MB in size and rolling out for the Galaxy Buds 2 in S. Korea.

According to the changelog, the update includes improvements to system stability and a few handy new features for the Buds 2, including the ability to use ambient sound during a phone call so that it's easier to pay attention to your environment. You'll also be able to activate Active Noise Cancellation on either earbud, giving users more ANC and ambient sound customization.

The update also includes the Double-Tab Edge feature that arrived on the Galaxy Buds Pro several months ago, giving you additional control options.

The Galaxy Buds 2 may be Samsung's new entry-level earbuds, but given the feature set, sound quality, and battery life, they're easily among the best wireless earbuds that you can buy now, and the new update will only make them better.

If you're trying to decide between these and the Google Pixel Buds Series-A, then Samsung's offering might be worth the splurge, although it looks like there are some impressive Galaxy Buds 2 deals still available so they won't hurt your wallet as much.

Premium audio, good price

Surprisingly good

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 pack a powerful punch for an entry-level pair of earbuds. They're nearly identical to the premium Galaxy Buds Pro and offer just about the same feature set and battery life, too. If you're looking for good ANC wireless earbuds that won't break the bank, this is your pair.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
