The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are the newer model, might offer more updated features and possibly better integration with other Samsung devices due to the Samsung Scalable Codec. They also have a smaller form factor and are likely to be more suitable for fitness activities since they're rated higher for sports and have a better IP rating for water resistance. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 are known for their sound quality and might provide a more premium listening experience for music lovers. They also offer larger ear tips which could mean a better fit for some users, and have a significantly longer battery life, which could be important if you're using them for extended periods without access to a charger. Both have active noise cancelling, but neither seems ideal for TV and gaming due to high latency. If you value sound and battery life over portability and sportiness, Sennheiser could be the better choice, while Samsung could be more suitable for users looking for newer tech and a sportier design.

"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."
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
