The Beats Powerbeats Pro is a great choice if you prioritize a secure fit and a higher battery life for extended listening sessions or exercise, but it offers less effective noise isolation compared to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2. On the other hand, the Sennheiser earbuds provide better microphone quality, which could be important for calls and meetings, and also offer active noise cancelling to help block out ambient noise. They are, however, heavier and have a shorter battery life per charge than the Beats. Neither option supports low latency modes, which isn't ideal for gaming or watching TV. If you're looking to use them in a noisy environment or need superior call quality, Sennheiser may justify the higher price, but for workouts or longer listening periods, Beats could be the more cost-effective choice.

"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."

"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."
