Our Verdict

OnePlus Buds Pro Truly Wireless

Samsung Galaxy Buds2

The OnePlus Buds Pro Truly Wireless and the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Truly Wireless have different strengths, and depending on your device, you may get more out of one pair of headphones than the other. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Samsung have a better noise isolation performance. Their companion app also offers EQ presets. You can use their low latency 'Game Mode' if you have a supported Samsung device. However, the OnePlus have a higher total battery life, and you can adjust their ANC level if you have a OnePlus device.
