If you're on a budget and mostly use earbuds for casual listening and calls, the "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick would be a suitable choice with its lower price and features like good comfort and mic quality. However, if you're active and need earbuds for exercise or travel, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport offers better noise isolation, a secure fit with silicone fins, and additional health tracking features, making them a versatile but more expensive option. Both offer low latency for gaming and good overall sound, but expect to pay more for Sennheiser's extra features like sweatproof and dustproof certifications and active noise cancelling.

Sound Guys
Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."

Amelia Schwanke | January 2024
"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."
