If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and plan on using your earbuds during exercise, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless is a solid choice as they are less expensive and have a good sweatproof certification. They also offer decent microphone quality, which is useful for calls and meetings. On the other hand, if you prioritize sound quality, especially a better soundstage, and want features like active noise cancelling for a more immersive listening experience, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 might be better for you. The Sennheisers also offer better battery life in the charging case and are more optimized for varied app audio controls. However, keep in mind that these are more expensive and may not be as durable as the JBL during physical activities. Give Feedback

LaFonda | April 2023
"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."

"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
