If you're on a budget and need a wired solution, the Razer Kraken offers a comfortable, over-ear experience, making it great for gaming due to its boom mic and very good sound quality. However, it's less suitable for exercise and travel because of its size and lack of active noise cancelling. In contrast, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 is a premium earbud option that's excellent for a wide range of activities including exercise and travel, offering very good noise isolation, active noise cancelling, and optimized sound quality for music, calls, and gaming. They're also convenient for on-the-go use, thanks to their portability and sweatproof certification, but come at a higher price point. Give Feedback

PC Gamer
Rob Dwiar | March 2019
"Generally the Kraken is a very comfortable headset and there’s nothing that really identifies it as anything else. All in, the Kraken performed exactly as I’d expect a premium, designated gaming headset to perform: performing well in game audio, though not quite with the same quality of those headsets further up the price scale."

Andy Madden | January 2024
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
