If you prioritize wireless convenience, portability, and features such as active noise cancelling and sweat resistance for exercise, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds are suitable, especially if you use them during travel and exercise or appreciate higher build and mic quality for calls. However, they're more expensive and not the best for gaming or TV due to latency issues. On the other hand, the Sony MDR-ZX110 headphones are budget-friendly, with a wired connection that eliminates latency for gaming and TV. They're less portable, have lower overall build and sound quality, lack noise cancellation, and aren't suitable for exercise or sweat-prone activities. Give Feedback

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 has excellent build quality, while the Sony MDR-ZX110 has only fair 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."
"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
