If prioritizing health features like heart rate and body temperature tracking with a strong performance during exercise and active noise cancelling, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport is better, but they are more costly. The Skullcandy Hesh ANC offers good noise isolation and extended battery life at a lower price, but they lack the sports and health-related features. For an all-around budget-friendly option, Skullcandy Hesh ANC is suitable, especially for casual listening and air travel, but for active users requiring advanced features and integration with activity tracking apps, the Sennheiser is the way to go.

"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."

"Skullcandy’s Hesh ANC are compact, wireless over-ears for everyday use that are tuned for bass and designed to suppress or amplify ambient noise as required. In addition to Bluetooth 5.0, optional tracking via the Tile app is supported so that these headphones can be found if they get lost."
