Features
Every detail, verified.
01Connectivity and compatibility
They pair quickly with Galaxy phones and are managed in the Galaxy Wearable app on Android, which handles noise cancellation settings, touch controls, EQ and firmware updates. With an iPhone they work as Bluetooth earbuds; touch controls still switch between ANC and Ambient sound.
02Sound and noise cancellation
A two-way dynamic speaker (woofer and tweeter) handles music, and ANC reduces steady background noise such as engines and air conditioning. Ambient sound lets you hear announcements without taking them out.
03Battery and water resistance
Samsung rated up to 5 hours with ANC on and 20 hours with the case. Earbud batteries wear with use, and a pair of this age will usually fall short of those figures. Our 12-month warranty covers faults. IPX2 only covers light splashes, so they're not intended for heavy workouts or rain.
Condition
What Pristine Condition means here
Galaxy Buds2 launched in 2021, so these are pre-owned and may have several years of use behind them. Pristine Condition is the cosmetic standard we sell at; it doesn't mean new, and we sell them as pre-owned rather than refurbished. Pristine Condition means pre-owned and fully working, with little or no visible wear. Every pair is tested before dispatch. Earbud batteries age with use, and our 12-month warranty from The Tech Gadgets covers faults. If you'd like to know about the ear tips on the pair you'd receive, message us before ordering.
Compare
AirPods vs Galaxy Buds: how it compares
The nearest Apple option at a similar price is AirPods 2, which has no noise cancellation or IP rating but is built around the iPhone. For Android users, Buds2 gives more for the money. See AirPods vs Galaxy Buds.
Our view
Is it worth buying pre-owned in 2026?
As a low-cost way into noise-cancelling earbuds for an Android phone, yes. The compromises are an older battery, a basic water rating and no Galaxy AI features. If you train with earbuds, Buds2 Pro (IPX7) or Buds3 (IP57) suit you better.
Who it's for
Android users on a budget, or as a spare pair. For Hi-Fi audio and IPX7, see Galaxy Buds2 Pro. For an open fit with Galaxy AI, see Galaxy Buds3.

Chat on WhatsApp
Are these Galaxy Buds2 new?
No. They're pre-owned and sold in Pristine Condition after testing and cleaning. They aren't sealed or refurbished by Samsung.
Can I use them at the gym?
Samsung rates them IPX2, which covers light sweat and splashes only. For workouts, Buds2 Pro (IPX7) or Buds3 (IP57) are better suited.
How long will the battery last?
Samsung rated up to 5 hours with ANC on when new. Earbud batteries age with use, so a used pair of this age will usually give less. Our 12-month warranty from The Tech Gadgets covers faults.
Do they work with iPhone?
Yes, for Bluetooth audio and touch controls. Samsung handles settings and firmware updates through the Galaxy Wearable app on Android.
