If you often make calls or attend meetings, the Sennheier Momentum 4 with a higher mic quality will serve you better, but they might not be as suitable for exercise due to their size and form factor. For those who prioritize a seamless experience with Android devices and need a product that is sweatproof, dustproof, and has active noise cancelling for a more immersive sound, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are a smart pick; they're also more portable, which is convenient if you're always on the go. Keep in mind, the Sennheiser's superior comfort and sound quality offer an enhanced music and TV/video experience, but they're typically more expensive and less ideal for exercise or casual use due to their over-ear design and size.

How the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the Sennheiser Momentum 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"Consider the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as your next pair of buds for its excellent active noise canceling (ANC) of low frequencies and comfortable fit. For Samsung users, the integration with your devices is handy and good for productivity."
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
