If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, Creative Labs Outlier Pro provides good sound quality, excellent mic quality, and is very suitable for calls and meetings. However, if you're an avid gamer or seek the best audio experience for TV and video, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 would be the better choice, as they offer excellent gaming performance due to lower latency and come with the latest sound technology for high-quality streaming. They cater well to an active lifestyle with sweatproof certification and additional wing tips for a secure fit. Although pricier, the Sennheiser offers noise cancellation, longer battery life without the case, and is enhanced for both Android and Apple users. Give Feedback

How the Creative Labs Outlier Pro and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"If you listen to music for extended periods such as commuting and work, and you hate having to pause to charge, give the Creative Outlier Pro wireless earbuds a try. You should be able to enjoy your tunes all day, or longer, without interruption."
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
