The Rode NTH-100 headphones offer a good overall sound quality with a solid build and are more suited for wired use since they do not support wireless connectivity. If you are okay with using a cable and prefer over-ear headphones for longer listening sessions, they may be a more comfortable choice. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds provide active noise cancelling, which the Rode lacks, and higher convenience for travel and exercise due to their portability and wireless design. They also have a longer battery life and are optimized for calls and meetings, gaming, and TV and video viewing, with better mic quality too. Choose the Sennheiser for a versatile, portable experience with superior call quality and active noise cancelling, or opt for the Rode if you prioritize a more traditional over-ear headphone experience with a wired connection and find a slightly lower price appealing.
