The Jabra Elite 4 suits budget-conscious consumers looking for solid call quality, good battery life, and a comfortable fit; they're also great for exercise since they're sweatproof and dustproof. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 excels in immersive audio experiences with excellent sound quality and active noise cancelling, making them more suitable for attentive music listening and TV. The Sennheisers also have a higher mic quality for clearer calls, but they're pricier. If latency is a concern for gaming or videos, Sennheiser's low latency feature might sway you despite the higher cost. Choose Jabra if affordability and sports use are priorities, or Sennheiser for top-notch sound and active noise cancelling in quieter environments. Give Feedback
