If you prioritize comfort and the best sound quality for music listening, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones are superior, as they also offer great performance for air travel with their effective noise canceling. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are significantly more portable due to their small size and provide good sound quality, with the added benefit of being sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. The earbuds also have a shorter battery life than the H95 but come with wireless charging and a case that extends usage time. While both have active noise canceling, the higher-end H95 may offer a more premium experience with superior build quality and materials, but at a higher price, whereas the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are more budget-friendly and still perform well across a range of uses.
