Are you a music lover looking to immerse yourself in your favourite tunes?
Because, if you are, then the ability to clearly hear every single component of the music – from the bass beats to the rhythm and harmonic melodies, through your headphone or wireless buds is important in determining your overall music experience.
With the prevalence of wireless earbuds, many have chosen to go wireless to listen to their music because it is truly convenient! The wireless earbuds are compact to bring out, compared to bulky headsets, and going wireless means no more fussing with wires when you are at the gym, jogging, or even on bus and train rides.
But do you realise that when you listen to your music with wireless earbuds, you often find yourself cranking the volume up (which, by the way, can damage your hearing)? Or perhaps, you find that your music experience may be interrupted by external noises, such as the chatter around you.
Not many are aware, but wireless buds generally compromise the audio output. This is due to the downsampling of the audio content from a higher sampling rate to a lower one to accommodate the wireless earbuds' output. This means that your 24-bit audio is converted to a 16-bit audio output, making for a less immersive music experience. Just think of it as compressing an image, which would have slight distortions compared to the original HD-quality image, so that you can reduce the size for transmission via email or WhatsApp.
So what can you do to enjoy your music the way it should be heard?
Choose wireless earbuds with 24-bit Hi-Fi processing
If uncompromised clarity is what you are after, you’ll want to invest in wireless earbuds that offer you 24-bit Hi-Fi processing. This will allow you to listen to music without compromising the audio output.
Such wireless earbuds, like Samsung’s latest Galaxy Bud2 Pro, offer you a lossless music experience. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro features a seamless codec and a high dynamic range of 144dB, meaning you can enjoy your music the way it is intended to be heard. The 24-bit Hi-Fi ¹audio, coupled with the 2-way speaker that enhances the bass, also means that you won’t have any distortion to your music.
And the best part is, you can enjoy the best quality music with a highly compact earbud, because the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro has been minimised by 15%² in size, giving you the optimal fit in your ears!

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature
ANC is essential for wireless earbuds, and you should choose earbuds with a good ANC function, because it helps to cancel out external noises. No one enjoys listening to their music only to have it disrupted by the chatters of fellow commuters or music from another source.
By choosing a pair of wireless earbuds with the right ANC features, you won’t have to worry about unnecessary disruptions to your music experience.For example, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro features an upgraded intelligent ANC feature³, which offers users 40% more powerful ANC, and improved designs in both its air vents and a windshield that has been doubled in size. This means you can enjoy minimised noise distractions and adequate airflow through the earbuds without any sound disruptions. So what does that mean for you as the user? Unadulterated music experience in your ears, wherever you are!
Getting the right fit
Did you know that having a wrongly fitted earbud can impact your music experience? If your wireless earbuds are not fitted properly, you may experience the following:
- Compromised sound quality
- Compromised ANC, resulting in external noise disruptions
- Discomfort while wearing your wireless earbuds
- Wireless earbuds slipping off during activities such as jogging or at the gym
- The need to constantly increase the volume, which may cause hearing loss
Therefore, ensuring that your wireless earbuds are correctly fitted with the right ear tips is important. Check out our Earbud fit test video, and try it out on your own Galaxy devices to ensure you get the best fit with your Galaxy buds.
Ensuring the correct sound settings
Music has different frequencies, so setting the proper sound settings on your equaliser for your listening experience is recommended. For example, if you are listening to your favourite jazz or reggae tunes on your Galaxy Buds2 Pro, you can consider using the Bass boost mode to enhance those bass lines. Alternatively, if you want a softer vibe for your music, you can opt for the Soft mode, which would be ideal for your Lo-Fi music genre. For those into electronic dance music (EDM), the Dynamic option gives you the enhanced music experience you’ll need!
The right sound settings, coupled with the Galaxy Buds2 Pro’s improved 360 audio ⁴ ⁵ with Direct Multi-channel (5.1ch / 7.1ch)⁶ , Dolby Atmos and enhanced head tracking⁷ will let you feel as though you are at a concert with your favourite band rocking it out!

Keeping it clean
An often overlooked factor that could affect your sound experience is the cleanliness of your earbuds. It is important to keep your earbuds clean and to regularly wipe off any specks of dust that may have settled so that there is no blockage to the flow of your sound. It is best to make it a practice to clean your earbuds before and after use and adjust your ear tips accordingly.
