If cost is a primary concern, the Jabra Elite 4 is the more economical choice. For avid music listeners, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 offers superior music and TV/video experience due to its support for lossless codec and virtual surround. It also has a longer battery life and wireless charging, adding convenience. If you often make calls, the mics on both provide clarity, so either could suffice. The Jabra is sweatproof and dustproof, making it a solid option for exercise use, while the Sennheiser's active noise cancelling is better suited for noisy environments like air travel. Both are good for portable use, but if you require high-fidelity sound and advanced features, and don't mind the higher price, the Sennheiser may be the better choice. Give Feedback

How the Jabra Elite 4 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
"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."
