Samsung Galaxy Buds2
Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 and the Sony WF-C700N Truly Wireless are both very portable with balanced default sound profiles, virtual surround sound, and noise cancelling in common. The Samsung sound a bit brighter by default, and their app only has EQ presets. They filter more low, rumbling engine noise and midrange traffic sounds than the Sony. They also use touch controls instead of buttons, and with compatible Samsung devices, they can connect using the brand's proprietary codec. On the other hand, their continuous battery life is significantly shorter than the Sony's but is similar overall if you include the charges. The Sony have a warmer sound profile, and the app's equalizer is more comprehensive. While their noise cancelling is useful, it's not as effective. Their case is a bit more fiddly to open, too. The buds use buttons that are harder to accidentally trigger than the touch controls on the Samsung, but they can also push the earbuds in deeper when you use them.
