If you prioritize sound quality and noise isolation for a more immersive audio experience, especially for music or use during air travel, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro would be the better choice. However, they come at a higher price and may not be as suitable if you're looking for something more budget-friendly. On the other hand, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones allow you to stay aware of your surroundings due to their open design and are typically less expensive. They are also sweatproof and dustproof, making them a better option for exercise. Keep in mind that their overall sound quality and noise isolation are lower compared to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
