If you prioritize portability and use during exercise, the Jaybird Vista 2 earbuds are excellent, being sweatproof, dustproof, and offering a secure fit which is great for an active lifestyle, and they are also notably less expensive. However, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus headphones offer superior call quality, durability, and an immersive experience suitable for music, calls, gaming, and TV, with the added benefit of active noise cancelling for travel and AptX Adaptive codec for high-quality audio. Choose the Sennheiser if you value sound experience and versatility across different use cases despite the higher price, but opt for the Jaybird if you need something more rugged, portable, and workout-friendly at a lower cost.

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
