As of early 2023, you can record binaural audio with the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro when paired to a Samsung device running One UI 5.

We've reached out to Samsung to clear up whether this issue was explicitly addressed on the Buds2 Pro, but for now we'd avoid them if you have a nickel allergy. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro bring you the sort of sound you don't really expect to hear on the bus. It's a difference you can hear even without 24-bit codecs or spatial audio enabled (not that Samsung tells you when these are running, anyway). By default, the touch-and-hold command is set to “volume up” on the right and “volume down” on the left.Those who want their kit to stay pristine should be aware that the case did pick up a few scratches over time. If you're using any other Android device that doesn't support this software version (or you’re using iOS), the 24-bit audio stream will get downsampled to 16-bit.

For popular music and hip-hop, the bass never gets too overwhelming, instead staying crisp and clean even in super busy tracks. Subsequent connections with the same device should happen immediately when you open the case and pluck out the buds. This does wonders for acoustic music like jazz, where you get a lot of upright bass string note, but no boom to overwhelm the bass drum or low end of the piano.
