If you're budget-conscious, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC would be a more affordable option. They offer good overall sound quality, active noise cancelling, and are very good for air travel due to their excellent build quality and comfort. However, if you prioritize portability, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds are smaller, offer good sound for music, and have a longer battery life when including the charging case. They're optimized for both Android and Apple devices, and feature app equalizer customization, which the JLab Jbuds lack. Note that the Sennheiser earbuds don't have an audio cable option, while the JLab headphones do, adding versatility for wired use. Give Feedback
