If budget is a concern, the HyperX Cloud II offers a lower price with high build and mic quality, ideal for gaming and standard calls. However, if you're seeking modern features like Active Noise Cancelling, sweatproof certification, and wireless functionality with high sound quality for various uses including exercise and travel, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 is superior despite its premium price. The Sennheiser also boasts low latency which is great for videos, and an app for equalizer customization, but remember these earbuds are a more expensive investment. Give Feedback

How the HyperX Cloud II and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"My overall impression of the HyperX Cloud II gaming headset is overwhelmingly positive. In my opinion, this is one of the best mid-priced gaming headsets currently on the market.Solid sound quality, superior comfort, and a sleek, lightweight design – this headset delivers all of the important aspects that a gaming headset should."
"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."
