If you're on a budget and looking for a good overall value, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC can save you money while still offering decent sound quality, active noise cancelling, and wireless capability, which are great for general use and travel. However, the Sennheiser Momentum 4, albeit more expensive, delivers superior sound quality, better comfort, longer battery life, and additional features like aptX Adaptive codec for improved audio over Bluetooth and better performance for TV and gaming due to lower latency. If you're an audiophile or use your headphones extensively for media consumption, the additional cost for the Sennheiser may be justifiable. Give Feedback

Christian Thomas | January 2023
"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."
