If active noise cancelling is important to you and you prefer over-ear headphones with longer battery life, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC could be a more cost-effective choice. They offer the versatility of both wireless and wired listening, better durability, and come with a detachable cable. However, if you are looking for higher overall sound quality, including a more immersive gaming and TV experience with spatial audio and low latency, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds are superior. They also feature a more compact design with a shorter charging time and touch controls supported by an app that allows for equalizer and control customization. The Sennheiser's are also sweatproof, making them a considerable option for light exercise, plus they support AAC and AptX codecs for high-quality wireless audio. Give Feedback
