The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EQ excel with a better overall sound quality and active noise cancelling, making them ideal for air travel and situations where noise isolation is key. They also support AptX Adaptive codec, ensuring high-quality audio and low latency, suitable for videos and gaming. However, they're heavier and have a shorter battery life than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2, which might be a better option if you prioritize comfort and longer listening sessions. The Sennheiser earbuds have slightly better soundstage and microphone quality, suiting people who take a lot of calls or meetings. Give Feedback

"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."
