If price is a big factor for you, the Jaybird Vista 2 is more affordable and offers excellent build quality, is sweatproof and dustproof, making it ideal for exercise. However, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, despite being more expensive, provides superior sound quality with lossless audio codec support, low latency, and active noise cancelling, which makes them a better choice for gaming, TV, and air travel where premium audio and noise isolation are appreciated. Both offer good battery life and wireless charging, but the Sennheisers have longer battery life with their case. If you prioritize advanced audio tech and are willing to invest more, go for the Sennheisers; if you want a durable, cost-effective option for active use, the Jaybirds are a great choice.

How the Jaybird Vista 2 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"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."
