If your priority is comfort during extended listening sessions and superior sound quality for music, movies, or TV, along with more effective noise canceling for air travel, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 would be a better choice. They have a longer battery life and the option to use a wired connection if needed. On the other hand, if you need earbuds that are sweatproof, dustproof, and more secure for exercise with a more affordable price, the Jaybird Vista 2 would suit you better. They are also smaller and more portable, ideal for an active lifestyle or on-the-go listening. Give Feedback

"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."

"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
