Our Verdict

Jabra Elite 7 Pro True Wireless

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro True Wireless are better in-ears than the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Jabra buds have a longer battery life. Their companion app offers a graphic EQ and presets to help you customize their sound regardless of whether you own an iOS or Android device. They also support multi-device pairing, meaning you can stay connected with up to two devices at a time. However, the Samsung headphones have significantly better noise isolation performance.
