If you prioritize sound quality and immersion while listening to music and tracking your physical activities through built-in health features, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport may be worth the higher price. However, for activities where ambient awareness is key, like outdoor running or biking, the Shokz OpenMove, with its bone conduction technology and open ear design, could suit you better despite its inferior sound quality. The OpenMove is also lighter which could add to comfort during prolonged use. Neither is optimal for TV and gaming due to potential latency issues, but the Sennheiser offers a better experience if that's a lesser concern. Give Feedback

"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."

"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
