You can increase the linespacing in the itemize.

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\startsetups[itemize:before]
\blank
\begingroup
\setupinterlinespace[medium]
\stopsetups

\startsetups[itemize:after]
\endgroup
\blank
\stopsetups

\starttext

\startitemize[columns,two,packed][before=\directsetup{itemize:before},after=\directsetup{itemize:after}]
\item abc
\item \math{a^2}
\item xyz
\item \math{\frac{1}{2}}
\item foo
\item bar
\item baz
\item \math{\sqrt{2}}
\item asdf
\item qwerty
\stopitemize

\stoptext
