The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offers good sound quality, comfort, and excellent build quality with effective noise isolation, making them well-suited for air travel and various types of audio content, including music and exercises. They also have wireless charging capability and a shorter charging time. However, for a premium experience and if you're particularly interested in gaming or TV use, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 might be the better choice, as they boast features like AptX Lossless codec for high-quality audio and low latency, important for syncing audio with visuals. Sennheiser also delivers longer battery life, which can be a significant advantage for extended use without frequent charging. If cost is less of a concern and you're looking for advanced sound technology, Sennheiser's offering, with Qualcomm S5 and Snapdragon Sound, could provide a more future-proof and high-fidelity experience.

How the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 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."
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
