The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are ideal for exercising and traveling due to their sweatproof design, excellent portability, and very good use during exercise score. If budget is a concern, they're a solid choice for casual listening and calls. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones offer superior overall sound quality, comfort, and noise isolation, making them better for immersive music experiences, TV, and gaming. They're pricier, but their build quality, active noise cancelling, and long battery life may justify the cost for serious audiophiles or for those who need headphones for diverse environments and extended use.

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
