If you're on a budget, JBL Live 670NC offers a lower midrange price with decent sound quality, and it's suitable for calls, music, and air travel, but not as much for gaming and TV due to poor performance in those areas. For a portable option, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds are lighter, more exercise-friendly due to sweatproof certification, and have better build quality, but shorter battery life without a case. Both have noise cancelling, but Sennheiser offers a more discreet, stemless form factor. The JBL has an advantage with longer battery life for extended use and a foldable design for easier storage.
