If you're on a budget, the KZ ZSN Pro X earbuds offer good sound quality and are much less expensive than the Sennheiser Momentum 4. They are wired, which might limit mobility but ensures no latency issues during TV or video use. However, their microphone and wireless capabilities are poor, so they're not ideal for calls, meetings, or gaming. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones, while more costly, offer excellent overall sound quality, active noise canceling, long wireless battery life, and are more comfortable. They are better suited for immersive music experiences, frequent calls, and long gaming or TV sessions. The Sennheisers also have an app equalizer and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices, providing greater versatility and customization. If you prioritize sound quality, comfort, and wireless convenience over price, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 might be the better choice despite the higher cost. Give Feedback

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 has excellent build quality, while the KZ ZSN Pro X has very good build quality.
"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
"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."
