If price is a major concern and you're looking for headphones that are good for calls and meetings, comfortable, and provide active noise cancelling, the JBL Live 670NC is a suitable choice; however, it may not offer the best experience for immersive gaming or TV watching. On the other hand, if you prioritize sound quality, especially for music and gaming, appreciate cutting-edge features like lossless streaming, and need earbuds that are sweatproof for exercise, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 would be a better fit despite being pricier. The Sennheisers also have a longer battery life, which might be important if you're often on the go. Give Feedback

"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."
