If price is a consideration, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds are often somewhat less expensive and offer excellent call quality and very good performance for gaming and TV. They also have a longer battery life on a single charge. However, if you're very active and might use them while working out or for tracking health data, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport includes sweat and dustproof certification, and unique features like heart rate and body temperature tracking, as well as integration with fitness tracking apps, which the Audio Technica does not offer. The Sennheiser also supports wireless charging and charges faster, so it might be more convenient if you need quick recharging and wire-free convenience. Give Feedback

How the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 and the Sennheiser Momentum Sport compare to other earbuds and headphones
"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."
"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."
