If you prioritize high-end sound quality, health and fitness features like heart rate and body temperature tracking, and are willing to invest in a premium product, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport may be the better choice for you. They're suitable for exercise, offer better noise isolation, and come with features optimized for both Android and Apple devices. In contrast, the Skullcandy Dime 2 is much more affordable, extremely portable, and suitable for air travel, but the sound and call quality is not as good, and they don't have active noise cancelling or health tracking. The choice depends on whether you value features and quality over cost savings. 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."

"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
