Sony WF-1000XM4 Truly Wireless
The Sony WF-1000XM4 Truly Wireless and the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 are similarly performing headphones, and you may prefer either one. The Sony are better built and have a significantly better battery performance. Their companion app also offers a graphic EQ to help you adjust their sound. The Samsung are more comfortable, they have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their mic's recording quality is superior.
