If you prioritize high-quality sound, comfort, and advanced features like heart rate and body temperature tracking for sports and exercise, then the Sennheiser Momentum Sport may be worth the investment, despite the higher cost. They offer active noise cancelling, wireless functionality with low latency, and are both sweatproof and dustproof. However, if budget is a concern and you're looking for a cost-effective option with exceptional mic quality for calls and meetings, and don't mind the absence of wireless connectivity and active noise cancelling, the Turtle Beach Recon 70 headphones could be a good choice, particularly for gaming where the mic and low latency are key, but do note that they won't be suitable for exercise or travel due to lower portability and noise isolation.

"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."

Sam Moore | September 2022
"There aren’t many considerations to make here. The Turtle Beach Recon 70 sounds decent, offers solid chat audio, feels good to wear over long periods, and it works everywhere. If you’re in the market for a simple plug-and-play option, you could do a whole lot worse (and spend a whole lot more money). Regardless, if getting something cheap that works well is the only thing you care about, this is a great option."
