If sound quality for gaming and watching TV is important, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 is preferable, offering better performance in those areas. However, for rigorous activities like exercise, the Jaybird Vista 2 excels with a higher use during exercise score and is sweatproof and dustproof, making them more durable for outdoor conditions. The Vista 2 is also more budget-friendly. Both options offer similar sound quality for music with earbud customization through respective apps, but for calls and meetings, the Sennheiser has a slightly better microphone. Keep in mind, the Sennheiser also has active noise cancelling, which can be a big advantage over the Jaybirds in noisy environments. Give Feedback
