If you prioritize a richer listening experience for music and calls and prefer over-ear comfort and better battery life, go for the Sennheiser Accentum Plus, which also has a detachable cable for wired use. However, if you lead an active lifestyle or want features like a heart rate monitor, sweatproof certification, and earbuds that are optimized for exercise, then the Sennheiser Momentum Sport might be a better fit—especially with extra secure fit accessories and a lighter design for on-the-go users. The Momentum Sport also supports wireless charging and has accompanying fitness tracking integrations, which the Accentum Plus lacks. Choose the Accentum Plus for focused, immersive audio situations and the Momentum Sport for versatility during physical activities and fitness tracking—keeping in mind you sacrifice some battery life and over-ear comfort.

How the Sennheiser Accentum Plus and the Sennheiser Momentum Sport compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
