If you prioritize affordability and still want good sound quality, go for the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2; they also have a low latency feature apt for gaming and TV. However, if you require excellent microphone quality and earbuds optimized for exercise with features like sweatproof, heart rate, and temperature tracking, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport is more suitable despite being pricier. Consider the Momentum Sport if you often use earbuds during workouts or for calls. Both offer active noise cancelling for focused listening, but if battery life is crucial, the Momentum Sport edges out with longer playtime. Give Feedback

"The Creative Aurvana Ace 2 earphones deliver robust, crisp audio thanks to their combination of xMEMS and dynamic drivers. We're fans of their extensive, high-quality codec options and highly customizable EQ."
"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."
