Our Verdict
Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro Truly Wireless
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Truly Wireless
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Truly Wireless are better headphones than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro Truly Wireless. The Samsung are more comfortable and have a better-balanced sound profile. They also have an ANC feature that can reduce some background noise around you and a better performing integrated mic. However, the Anker have longer-lasting continuous battery life and their companion app offers a graphic EQ.
