The KZ ZSN Pro X earbuds are more budget-friendly and offer a good overall sound with a very good build quality but require a wired connection and have poor mic quality, making them less suitable for calls or gaming. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport provides very good sound, excellent build quality, superior mic performance, and active noise cancelling, making them versatile for various activities like exercise, travel, and calls. The Sennheiser also supports wireless operation with features like a heart rate monitor and app integration, but it comes at a premium price. If you prioritize high-quality sound, versatile use, and wireless convenience, go for the Sennheiser Momentum Sport; if you're looking for affordability and can compromise on features, the KZ ZSN Pro X could be suitable.

"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."
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
