The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 offers a higher build quality and better controls, making it a solid choice if durability and ease of use are important to you. On the other hand, the Soundcore Life P3 scores better in overall sound quality and has a significantly longer battery life, which may be preferable for extended listening sessions. While the Sennheiser earbuds have optimized features for both Android and Apple devices, the Soundcore Life P3 does not offer optimized controls for Android. The Sennheiser also includes active noise cancellation, which is useful for travel or noisy environments. Considering the price, the Soundcore Life P3 will give you some premium features and better sound at a lower cost, whereas the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 provides a more premium build and better control experience with active noise cancellation at a higher price point.

How the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 and the Soundcore Life P3 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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
