Inclusive Ambient Earbuds

Samsung Updates its Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with Enhanced Ambient Sound

— May 17, 2023 — Tech
For those with hearing loss, Samsung has upgraded the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro to include Ambient Sound. With the help of the University of Iowa's Hearing Aid and Research Laboratory and Samsung's Medical Center, the pair recently conducted a clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new ambient sound function. The Ambient Sound feature can be adjusted using five levels of amplification, which makes finding the right sound quality and noise level extremely easy.

The earbuds have 10mm drivers and active noise cancellation that can reduce noise by up to 33 dB. The TWS earbuds use Dolby Head Tracking technology to provide 360-degree audio in a small package. With ANC turned off, the audio gadget is said to last up to 8 hours on a single charge.
