If budget is a concern, the Sennheiser HD 250BT will save you money while still delivering very good sound quality. However, if you're active and need earbuds for exercise or sports, the Momentum Sport's sweatproof certification and included secure fit accessories like silicone fins may justify its higher cost. For frequent travelers or those in noisy environments, the Momentum Sport's superior noise isolation and active noise cancelling could be beneficial. The HD 250BT is better suited for immersive music and video experiences with low latency making them suitable for TV and gaming. Keep in mind, the Momentum Sport offers additional health tracking features and is more portable. Give Feedback

"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."

"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."
