The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 offers better sound quality and has active noise cancelling, making it ideal for immersive music listening and air travel, but at a higher price. Its built-in controls and large carrying case cater to convenience, while the equalizer app enhances customization. In contrast, the Shokz OpenMove, which is significantly cheaper, features bone conduction technology that is safer for outdoor activities, as it allows situational awareness. Its open design provides less noise isolation, yet it is preferable for calls and meetings due to its superior mic quality and is sweatproof for use during exercise. Give Feedback

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 has excellent build quality, while the Shokz OpenMove has very good build quality.
"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."
"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."
