If audio quality is a priority and you're looking for effective noise cancellation, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 might be the better option, though they are more expensive. They are also well-suited for air travel due to better noise isolation. However, if you are on a budget, the "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick provides good sound and mic quality at a lower price, with a form factor that is conducive to portability and comfortable design. The Ear Stick also features a low latency mode, which the Sennheisers lack, making them more suitable for gaming. Keep in mind that the Sennheisers have a closed design for better sound isolation and bass response, while the Ear Sticks have an open design which might be less isolating but can provide a more natural listening experience.

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."

"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
