If price is a primary concern and you prioritize battery life and music listening over other activities, consider the Grado GT220, which offers a solid music experience and longer battery life in the case. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for a range of features like better sound quality across various uses including gaming, calls, and sport activities, plus added bonuses like active noise cancelling, sweat and dust resistance, and fitness tracking integration, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport would be a more versatile choice. The Sennheisers also support a high-quality audio codec for better sound over Bluetooth, which the Grados lack. However, for a more travel-friendly option that offers good sound isolation without noise cancelling, the Grado may be preferable. Give Feedback

Amelia Schwanke | January 2024
"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."
