Our Verdict
Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro offer quite a few features limited to Samsung's ecosystem compared to the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3. That includes the Samsung Seamless Bluetooth codec and an Android-only app. They block out significantly more background noise. On the other hand, the Sennheiser have the same compatibility regardless of whether you use iOS or Android. They have a much greater continuous battery life and a mic with better noise handling. You can customize the EQ with more options than just presets as well.
