If you're looking for high-fidelity sound quality and are willing to pay more, the HifiMan Sundara is an excellent choice, but remember, they're over-ear headphones that will be bulkier and require an amplifier for the best experience. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 offers convenience and portability with good sound quality for in-ear buds. They are suitable for on-the-go listening with active noise cancellation, but may not match the Sundara's detailed soundstage. Consider your primary use—critical listening at home or convenience and features for everyday mobile use. Give Feedback

What HiFi? | November 2022
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
