Galaxy Buds+ or Buds2 - which should you buy?

The Buds2 add ANC, a smaller design and better sound; the Buds+ counter with longer battery and lower used pricing. Noise-first buyers take Buds2; endurance-and-value buyers take Buds+. Compare both Samsung lines on Shopfox with price history. See current offers and price history on Shopfox before committing.

Do the Galaxy Buds+ have noise cancellation?

No — the Buds+ offer ambient passthrough modes but no active noise cancellation; ANC arrived with the Buds Pro line. Quiet-seeking buyers compare upward. At the low end of Shopfox's Buds+ pricing, the trade is easy to accept. Verify the exact configuration on the Shopfox listing you are considering first.

How is the battery life on the Galaxy Buds+?

Outstanding — around 11 hours per charge with 22-plus total from the case, endurance that still beats many current buds. Charging is USB-C quick. Verify case battery health on used pairs.

5 stars at an 8.5 rating.

Snagged these buds+ for $110 after my girlfriend's cat chewed through my Turtle Beach headset cord. Needed a wireless pair to avoid that disaster again. After a week of daily use—gaming on my phone, lifting weights to metal and rap, watching movies—I'm giving them a solid 8.5/10. Paired instantly with my Note9, and the Galaxy Wearable app is awesome with features like Find My Buds and a HearThrough mode that's so clear it could double as a hearing aid. Sound quality is very good, they're super light and comfy once you find the right tip and wing combo, and they stay put even when I try to shake them out. Battery life is excellent—never hit zero after 5-6 hour sessions, and the case charges fast. Calls are clear too. Downsides: bass feels a bit weak out of the box (EQ fixes it), the recommended volume is low (max is loud enough for me), there's a tiny audio delay that's barely noticeable except in gaming, and the IPX2 rating is disappointing—should've been at least IPX4. But for $110, I'm really happy with this purchase.
