If you're looking for affordability and don't mind a bulkier form, the Sennheiser HD 250BT over-ear headphones offer very good sound quality and are well-suited for TV and video due to their low latency. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, while more expensive, provides superior noise isolation, a more portable design, and high-quality sound with the latest Snapdragon Sound Technology for lossless streaming; it's great for those who are active, as it's sweatproof and comes with wing tips for a secure fit during exercise. Both have very good mic quality and customizable app controls, but only the Momentum True Wireless 4 offers active noise cancelling and wireless charging. Give Feedback

Headphone Check
Pete Scholßnagel | 2020
"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."

What HiFi
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."
