FULL STORY
======================================================================

Earbuds have a knack for getting bashed about and while there are some that 
are more indestructible than others, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro appear to 
be one of the toughest. 

A recent tweet from the tech blogger Maaz Perwez reveals that even after 
being burnt in a house fire, the buds are still working, including their 
location-finding function. And while the charging functionality of the buds 
is fried, Perwez did say that they are built like a tank. Seems like the UWB 
of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for Smart Things find works as intended. Btw my house 
was burnt due to a short circuit along with that my laptop watch and buds 
were also burnt. My buds are working for now but I am not able to charge 
them. Buds 2 Pro is built like a tank pic.twitter.com/MgmA5a9rCL June 13,

Even more surprising is the fact that Samsungs SmartThings Find  its service 
for locating Galaxy devices  also worked to locate them. Its how Perwez says 
that he was able to find them in the rubble. 

The phrase rising like a phoenix from the ashes comes to mind when picturing 
him finding the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro in working condition. One of the key 
functionalities of the SmartThings Find service is that it works when 
offline. And this recent story is the best proof we have of this. 

If youre not familiar with SmartThings Find, Samsung launched the 
device-locating feature in 2020. Like Apples Find My , it offers an offline 
feature that helps you find your device. It works by using the signal of 
other Galaxy devices to send the location of your lost earbuds. Rising from 
the ashes 

As one of the best in-ear headphones out there  in our review, we went as far 
to say that theyre easily the best Samsung Galaxy Buds yet  its not entirely 
surprising that the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are built as solid as they 
sound. 

We dont yet have a best fireproof earbuds guide but if we did these would be 
at the top of our list. We (thankfully) dont often test how fire retardant 
earbuds are  theres testing a product, then theres putting a product through 
its paces. 

Alternatively, if youre after the best waterproof headphones then take a look 
at our guide. We also have one covering the best headphones in general too, 
if surviving different elements isnt what youre looking for.
