For immersive music experiences with superior sound quality, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is an excellent choice but comes at a higher price. They provide active noise cancellation, which can be important if you want to block out ambient noise. However, they may not be the best for activities where you need to stay aware of your surroundings, such as outdoor sports. In contrast, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are more affordable and allow you to hear your environment, which is safer for outdoor activities. The sound quality will be less focused, though, as they don't sit inside your ears and lack noise cancellation. If you prioritize situational awareness and a lower price, the Youthwhisper may suit you better, but for top-notch sound and noise isolation, the Momentum 4 is likely worth the investment.

Christian Thomas | January 2023
"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."
