Is it the new version
The Buds Pro 2 is the newest most expensive model. These Buds 2 are still sold though as a less expensive option.
I have had every version of Samsung Buds. I like my Buds 2, the sound quality is great for any price below $100. I've swapped out the tips for ridged ones that help the Buds not slide out of your ear. The Buds 2 casing is slippery smooth plastic. There is zero resistance of the plastic in your ear to keep them from falling out except for the flexible tips. Adding aftermarket ridged tips have held them in my ear better. The Buds Pro 2 have less slippery plastic and don't fall out of your ears as easily (but they still benefit from better tips too).
These are great buds, with the biggest weakness being that they wiggle out of your ears. in my experience this is caused by jaw movement like talking/singing, chewing, or brushing your teeth. Another thing I noticed is that they create such a tight seal in your ears that it makes your ear canals itch and almost feel like they're collecting moisture. I have read in passing that some people have had ear problems because of them, but aside from itching I haven't experienced anything major.
I also have the Buds+, Buds Live, and recently bought the Buds 2 Pro. Aside from the Buds+ battery life, I can't think of anything major that I like about the other models over the Buds 2, aside from the falling out part. The Buds 2 Pro have been kind of disappointing for me. They stay in my ears better, but the ANC isn't drastically better than the passive noise canceling of the B2, and the B2P have weaker range and don't connect to my Windows devices perfectly sometimes.
These are worth the $66 new, even with the limited warranty.

Agree 100% on all of this. Went from the Buds+ (washed them accidentally, otherwise these were the GOAT with Comply memory tips), to Buds 2 (fell out of ears constantly, reports that they could cause ear infections but I didn't have this issue), to Buds 2 Pro (ANC is decent, but still fall out when working out).
I'll also add that the touch sensitivity on the Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro are terrible. I can barely move the buds with my hand and it'll pause my music.
The Buds Pro 2 is the newest most expensive model. These Buds 2 are still sold though as a less expensive option.

I agree. I've had every version also and the buds 2 are by far my favorite.

The OG Buds Pro are the most uncomfortable earbuds I've ever worn when worn over 20-30 mins in a row. I have no issues with the ANC on the Buds 2, if works as well as the OG Pros. But the shape of the OG Pros make them trash anyways.
This is the international version, 90 day warranty through woot.
Did Samsung figure out the nickel allergy issues though with this model, when some people's ears start leaking pus after using them for a while? Will woot give a woot about that?

How is the sound and anc vs the og buds pro?

Edit: Looks like this is about the lowest right now.
