If you prioritize seamless integration with Apple devices, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 would be ideal due to their improved spatial audio, optimized performance for Apple users, and an integrated microphone. They offer excellent noise isolation and are more portable with shorter charging time; however, they are less durable and have no fitness tracking features. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds are tailored for active users with fitness tracking capabilities, sweat and dustproof certification, and robust build but at a steeper price. They also support lossless codec with AptX Adaptive for a potentially better sound experience but with a longer charging time. Give Feedback

"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
