The Antlion Kimura Duo offers better sound quality and gaming experience due to lower latency, and comes with a boom microphone, which might appeal to gamers or those in frequent online meetings. However, they are wired and lack active noise cancelling, unlike the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2, which are wireless with a good noise isolation feature, making them more suitable for travel and exercise. The Sennheisers also support the AAC codec, which better suits Apple device users. If portability and avoiding cables is a priority, consider the Sennheisers, despite their higher price. If you prioritize gaming and microphone quality at a lower cost, the Kimura Duo could be better. Give Feedback

"Antlion Kimura Duo aren’t packed with features, but the ones they offer, work incredibly well. Especially the boom mic delivers very clean call quality with no distortion. If you explicitly look for gaming in-ear monitors with a reliable microphone, Antlion Kimura Duo are your best option."
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
