premium products. If you prioritize active noise cancelling for frequent air travel or work in noisy environments, the Bose 700 headphones would suit you best; they also offer a longer battery life for extended use. However, they are bulkier and less suited for rigorous exercise. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds are sweatproof, dustproof, and come with secure fit accessories, making them ideal for sports and exercise, plus they have a shorter charging time and unique health tracking features. The Sennheiser's low latency is great for gaming, but if watching TV or video is a priority, the latency may be noticeable. Both have good sound quality and built-in mics, but if you prefer earbuds over headphones and need specialized sports features, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport would be a better choice. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

"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."
