If cost is a major factor, consider the JBL Live 770NC for a midrange price option, but if you prioritize high-quality audio and features, then the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, which supports lossless streaming and advanced Qualcomm technology, might be worth the premium price. The JBL headphones are suitable for air travel and feature active noise cancelling, while the Sennheiser earbuds excel in gaming, calls and meetings, and have better app support, which offers EQ customization. The JBL offers both wireless and wired options, but the Sennheiser is wireless only and offers better battery life. Consider your activity and feature preferences when making your decision.

Andy Madden | January 2024
"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."
