If budget is a concern, "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) offers a cost-effective choice, with a strong overall sound quality and low latency mode suitable for gaming. They are also sweatproof and dustproof, making them a solid option for exercising. However, for a premium, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport provides specialized features like a heart rate monitor, body temperature tracking, and integration with fitness apps, which could enhance your workout experience. If you have a higher budget and prioritize fitness tracking within your earbuds, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport might be the better pick. Both offer good noise isolation and are optimized for Android and Apple devices. Give Feedback

How the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) and the Sennheiser Momentum Sport compare to other earbuds and headphones
"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
"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."
