The "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick delivers good sound quality and is particularly suitable for calls and meetings, with its distinct stem design providing a comfortable fit. They are also highly recommended for gaming due to their low latency mode. However, they offer minimal noise isolation, which makes them less ideal for noisy environments or air travel. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 is recognized for excellent sound quality and active noise cancelling, enhancing the listening experience in places like airplanes. Its build is more robust for exercise, and it supports a higher grade lossless codec with AptX Adaptive for top-notch audio fidelity. Despite being pricier, it offers more immersive sound for TV and video, and it's well-suited for longer listening periods with a longer battery life. If you prioritize a premium audio experience and noise cancellation, you might lean towards the Sennheiser, while the "Nothing" Ear Stick is a solid, more affordable choice for everyday use, especially in quieter settings or if gaming and calls are a priority.

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."
