If price is a primary concern and you're looking for earbuds that are solid for exercise and have a low latency feature for gaming, the JBL Tune Flex would be a suitable choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for better sound quality, active noise cancelling, and an overall more robust build quality, including better microphone performance for calls, then the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 could be worth the extra cost. Sennheiser also supports a lossless codec, which is great for high-quality audio, and offers more features such as ear detection and wireless charging capabilities. Give Feedback

"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
