If budget is a concern, the True Wireless 2 could save you money while still offering good quality and features for music, exercise, and travel. However, if you're looking for the best sound and microphone quality, gaming and video performance, active noise cancelling, wireless charging, and longer battery life, the newer True Wireless 4 would be the better investment as it also supports the latest Qualcomm processor and Snapdragon Sound Technology, which are beneficial for lossless streaming and improved connectivity. Keep in mind that while the True Wireless 4 is more expensive, its advanced features cater to a more comprehensive range of activities. Give Feedback

How the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
