If you're on a budget and don't mind on-ear headphones with a fair overall sound quality and poor comfort, the JBL 510BT is more wallet-friendly but not suitable for long listening sessions. For premium sound, particularly immersive for gaming and TV with excellent noise isolation, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds are superior, featuring active noise cancelling, an extended battery life, and lossless audio support. They excel in versatility, comfort, and are sweatproof, suited for exercise and air travel, but are priced higher. Sennheisers also offer customizable sound through an app and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Give Feedback

"The JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."
"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."
