For immersive music listening with a priority on build and sound quality, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 would be the better choice. They also offer better noise isolation and active noise cancelling, making them suited for air travel and noisy environments. However, if you need earbuds with low latency for gaming and TV watching, then the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 would serve you better. The Aurvana Ace 2 supports aptX Lossless and has a better gaming score, although they might not be as comfortable for calls and meetings compared to the Momentum, which has superior mic quality. Both earbuds support wireless charging and have similar battery life, but if app customization is important, both provide that capability. The Sennheiser Momentum has ear detection and is optimized for both Android and Apple, whereas the Aurvana Ace 2 does not have ear detection and does not specify optimization for mobile operating systems.
