If you prioritize superior noise isolation and frequent air travel, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is the better option as they offer active noise cancelling and score higher for air travel usage. However, if microphone quality and a better experience for gaming are top priorities, the Antlion Kimura Duo is preferable, as it has a better microphone and is rated higher for gaming. Note that the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have wireless capabilities and can charge wirelessly, making them more convenient for on-the-go use, while the Kimura Duo is wired, with a detachable cable and boom-style mic, providing more versatility for stationary use.
