Choosing between the JBL Live 670NC and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 comes down to your preferences and specific needs. If you prioritize active noise cancelling, longer battery life, and the ability to fold for easier carry, JBL Live 670NC is a strong choice; however, it fairs poorly for sound while gaming and watching TV. On the other hand, Sennheiser's earbuds offer very good sound quality across various content, lower weight, and features like sweat resistance, making them suitable for exercise. They also support low latency codecs, which is important for gaming. Both have good build quality and mic quality, but if you need a wired connection at times, JBL allows that flexibility. If you tend to make calls, listen to music, and value an immersive audio experience, Sennheiser might be your go-to, but if cost and versatile use including during air travel and commuting are your focus, consider JBL.
