If you're looking for earbuds suitable for exercise with health tracking features, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport would be a better choice as they are sweatproof, dustproof, and offer secure fit accessories along with heart rate and body temperature tracking. However, if you prioritize budget and better noise isolation for a variety of environments, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro may be more appealing. Both provide good sound quality for music, but the Sennheisers have a slightly better microphone, which could be important for calls. The Galaxy Buds have a slightly longer battery life and support wireless charging, which might be more convenient. Give Feedback

"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."
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
