If you're on a tight budget, the JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are much more affordable and offer good comfort, very good portability, and are suitable for exercise, given they are sweatproof. However, they fall short in sound quality and features like active noise cancelling (ANC) are not present, which means they may not be the best for immersive listening or air travel where noise isolation is important. On the other hand, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds cost more but provide excellent sound quality with features like aptX Adaptive codec for better sound over Bluetooth, ANC for noise reduction, and an integrated microphone with very good quality for calls. They're also a better choice if you're interested in gaming or watching TV due to lower latency. They have an app that allows for audio control customization, which the JLab lacks. Consider what's more important to you: saving money or having a richer feature set and better overall performance. Give Feedback

"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."
