The Galaxy Buds 2 are believed to have active noise cancellation and a three-microphone system that helps with call quality. The charging case offers up to 20 hours of total playback with the ANC switched on and 30 hours without it. And don’t worry if you don’t like green – there are indications that Samsung ships the buds in shades of purple, black, and white.

However, many expect Samsung to unveil the Galaxy Buds 2 at its Unpacked event on Aug. 11, along with new foldable phones and the Galaxy Watch 4 line. If so, don’t be surprised if the earbuds are available within days of the announcement.
