If you prioritize lower cost, the Sennheiser HD 250BT may be the better option, as it's significantly less expensive, offers higher sound quality for music, and has a longer battery life. However, the Momentum True Wireless 3, while more expensive, has better noise isolation, is more portable, offers active noise cancelling, and includes features like sweat resistance and app-based controls customization. If you require headphones for air travel or need versatility for different environments, Momentum True Wireless 3 may be worth the investment for its added functionality and comfort. If you're focused on gaming and TV, be aware that both options feature low latency codecs, but the HD 250BT has a slightly better score for gaming. Give Feedback

These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
