If you prioritize comfort and longer battery life for extended listening sessions or air travel and don't mind a larger form factor, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones with their over-ear design and excellent noise isolation might suit you. They have a detachable cable offering flexibility for wired use and higher durability. However, for fitness enthusiasts or those seeking a compact, more portable option perfect for exercise, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds are sweatproof and have a secure fit. They also offer the convenience of wireless charging and the latest technology for lossless streaming. Both choices provide very good sound quality and active noise cancelling, but for gaming or TV where latency is crucial, the headphones might be preferable due to their aptX Adaptive support.

How the Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
"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."
