Well this has been fun.

I don't think I've ever tried to review three different devices all at the same time before but I guess that's kind of the point of an ecosystem like the Samsung Galaxy range. Each device is an absolute marvel on its own but when teamed up with other gadgets from the same generation things get exponentially more interesting.

That's never been more true than when I tried out the Galaxy Buds2 Pro.

If you were unimpressed by the small, yet significant upgrades to the Z Flip4 and Watch5, the Buds2 Pro have really come to the party with a total redesign shakeup.

Okay, admittedly the charging case is still pretty much the same shape and size. It still charges via USB-C or wirelessly. But now it comes in black, white or Bora Purple. Yes, that means the buds themselves are also Bora Purple, Samsung's current signature colour to match the purple Z Flip4.

Whichever colour you choose, the differences don't stop there.

The Buds2 Pro are dramatically smaller and are shaped quite differently to their predecessors. Samsung obviously heard the criticism of the original Buds Pros' tendency to bobble out when exercising vigorously or dancing stupidly and decided to do something about it. A good fit has fast become my number one consideration when it comes to earbuds as these days features like sound quality and reliable connectivity should be a minimum expectation.

There's still a choice of different sized tips if you think your ear-holes are particularly petite or outrageously cavernous but as usual, I appear to be a boring old medium. The good news is, thanks to the new shape and the fact they're lighter and way smaller, the buds don't budge.

The news on fit gets even better if you're one of those people who usually can't tolerate the air-tight seal of noise-cancelling buds and therefore resort to a noisy open-fit instead. There are now extra vents to prevent that sensation of pressure many people find too uncomfortable. These are easily the best-feeling buds I've ever inserted. Full-stop.

That new vent-tech is also part of the secret behind the Buds2 Pro's enhanced wind flow technology - I've experienced very little wind noise while out and about, even on the breeziest days.

Which brings us to the Active Noise Cancelling. As I've found with most Samsung Buds in recent years, this works very well - whether you're trying to eliminate office hubbub, commuter traffic or the other dumb music that isn't yours at the gym. As usual, ANC can be turned off and on or you can choose Ambient mode and let outside noise or conversation in - activated automatically if you choose via Voice Detect.

The capacitive touch controls are fully customisable via the Wear app and under the "Lab" (beta) settings you can even assign functions to the very edges of the buds. This is a little fraught on these new buds though; being 15% smaller there's not much surface area for my stubby fingers to access anyway - the chances of me isolating just the edge to play, pause or answer are low, so I've left that function switched off. As it is, I accidentally pause or unpause every time I take them out. This doesn't really matter as they automatically pause once back in the case anyway.

Another feature I'm pretty excited about is the Intelligent 360 Audio. The enhanced head tracking technology means the sound seems to come from the source device - or if your gaming or watching TV when you turn your head, the sound stays where it is, just like it would if it were playing from physical speakers. Unlike similar technology from other manufacturers, this works regardless of the source audio - it doesn't have to be recorded in a particular format. Some brands even charge a subscription for this stuff. With Samsung it's included - not an optional extra.

The two-way speakers, dedicated woofer and separate tweeter combine to provide the clearest, most authentic sound of any Samsung buds yet. "Poster Child" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers positively bounces along, driven by Flea's ever-present bass work which you can emphasise even further via the equaliser in the Wear app.

Kiwi band the Dead Flowers channel an Oasis-style Brit pop guitar jangle on "Dorothy Rae" and the Buds2 Pro give it all the space it needs to soar over the phasey vocals and expansive drum fills. This is 24-bit Hi-Fi in all its glory - at last the wireless listening experience is an uncompromised one.

Battery life is also good; up to five hours with ANC on and another 18 hours charge in the case.

In fact, it's very difficult to fault these earbuds in any way. There's seamless switching between paired devices and with SmartThings Find they're even quite hard to lose.

Not that you'd want to. These are my new favourite buds. Now I know you think I'm always saying, "These are my new favourite buds," but that's because the buds keep getting better and these ones have definitely got better - in many, many ways.
