If superior call quality and a balanced sound for various audio content is a priority, and you're often on calls or in meetings, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 might be your choice, especially if you'll use them during exercise, as they're sweatproof. However, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offers a fuller sound for gaming, and you'll also enjoy an app that allows you to customize controls. Although Sennheisers are usually somewhat less expensive, they do not offer the low latency mode present in the Audio Technicas which could be crucial for watching TV and videos without audio delay.

Engadget
Billy Steele | January 2024
"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."
