If you prioritize cost-effectiveness and longer battery life, opt for the Creative Labs Outlier Pro, which also has a slightly better overall sound quality and is well-suited for calls and exercise due to its sweatproofing and higher ratings in those areas. However, if brand reputation and a more premium build quality are important to you, and you want enhanced control customization via the accompanying app, then the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 might be the better choice despite being more expensive. Keep in mind that both earbuds offer active noise cancelling, but neither is particularly optimized for gaming or TV due to similar low latency scores. Give Feedback
