What reviewers said
Samsung Galaxy Buds with the app
The Samsung Galaxy Buds are a capable pair of true wireless earbuds that perform well both with and without their companion app. Their sound is balanced and agreeable, though the app unlocks a more dynamic preset and useful controls like ambient sound passthrough. Battery life is decent, and they offer solid comfort for everyday use, but they don't stand out in any single category.
- Pro:Balanced, inoffensive sound signature
- Pro:Useful app with dynamic EQ preset
- Pro:Good battery life for the size
- Con:No multipoint or transparency toggle without app
- Con:Average noise isolation
- Con:Small dynamic driver limits bass impact
Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2
Sennheiser's second-gen true wireless earbuds combine rich, detailed audio with effective noise cancellation in a premium, compact design. While the sound is polished and the feature set is solid, they lack multipoint connectivity and may not deliver perfectly neutral tuning for purists. Overall, they remain a compelling high-end choice for those prioritizing musicality and build quality.
- Pro:Excellent, refined sound quality
- Pro:Effective noise cancellation
- Pro:Premium, comfortable design
- Con:No multipoint connection
- Con:Sound not perfectly neutral
- Con:Touch controls can be finicky
