Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2
Despite being smaller than their predecessors, Senny’s new true wireless buds share the same shape and look, right down to the textured touch-surface – and build quality is, as is usual with Sennheiser, impeccable. It’s no surprise to find the sonic signature unchanged . There’s a kind of casual fidelity to the sound from the 7mm full-range dynamic drivers that makes them a pleasure to listen to, no matter what sort of stuff you want to hear.
Active noise-cancellation has been added, but we didn’t miss it last time a round because passive isolation was so strong – and it’s the same here. The touch controls remain the best in the business, and there’s an app for EQ tweaks .

Samsung Galaxy Buds+
It’s hard to tell the Buds+ apart from last year’s svelte effort , and that’s not a criticism. Noise isolation is great – important as there’s no ANC – although an IPX2 rating means running in anything more than light drizzle could be a bad idea.
Samsung has doubled up on drivers, with each bud housing a dedicated tweeter and woofer tuned by AKG. Audio quality is a step up, with real separation between instruments and vocals. Everything feels balanced, neutral and clean.
Touch-sensitive controls let you tap either bud to play and pause, skip tracks and answer calls. Long presses are customisable through the app – and u nlike the original B uds, these support both Android and Apple devices .
Connectivity Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C Battery life 11hrs , 22hrs with case Water-resistance IPX2 Weight 2x 6.3g, 40g case
