If we were to list the best wireless earbuds in the market, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro would definitely be up there. We’ve gone so far as to say they might be the best Android headphones you can buy.

We didn’t just say that because of the sound quality; there are many models on the market that sound just as good. What really sets them apart is the commitment to new technologies, and the best thing is that they receive updates with more functions.
360 degree recording with headphones
The latest update to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is eye-catching, as it makes them the first wireless earbuds of their kind capable of recording 360-degree sound. That is to say, they are able to record the audio that surrounds you, and when we play it, it will really seem like “we are there”.
Until now, 360-degree or spatial sound technology has focused on reading; these headphones were already compatible with this, being able to reproduce sounds from different sources such as the instruments of a live band.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro can record sound in 360 degrees
The real news is that Samsung has now applied this technology to recording, which is much rarer and usually requires the purchase of specialist hardware which isn’t exactly cheap. That now “simple” headphones can do it is a giant leap.
Curiously, the biggest hurdle hasn’t been in the hardware. Many headsets already have multiple microphones built in, so in theory it’s perfectly possible to use them all as a source at once; However, until now, these microphones were only used to eliminate noise in calls and not to record everything at once, for a simple reason: there was not enough bandwidth to transmit so many mobile information.
The ace up the sleeve of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is Bluetooth LE Audio, the new standard that improves sound quality while reducing energy consumption. Thanks to LE Audio it is possible to use both the microphones on the left side and those on the right side, obtaining a 360 degree recording.
