If price is a primary concern, the Jlab Go Air Sport is the more economical choice. For workouts and outdoor activities, the Jlab earbuds are sweatproof, have ear hooks for a secure fit, and provide a longer battery life, making them the better option. However, if you are looking for overall better build quality, sound quality, and features like Active Noise Cancelling, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 would be more suitable, though they come at a higher price. The Sennheiser earbuds also have a companion app with equalizer settings to customize your listening experience, which the Jlab lacks. If you make calls or attend a lot of meetings, note that both have good microphone quality, but neither is ideal for gaming or TV due to their poor performance in those areas. Give Feedback

How the Jlab Go Air Sport and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."
"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."
