The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offers superior overall sound quality, active noise canceling, and better scores for music, calls, and gaming, suited for someone willing to pay more for enhanced audio experiences. On the other hand, the Shokz OpenMove, with its bone conduction design, allows you to stay aware of your surroundings, which is beneficial for outdoor exercise, and it's sweatproof. However, its open design results in lower sound quality and noise isolation. Both offer good battery life and are wireless, but if budget is a concern and situational awareness is a priority, OpenMove is the viable option. Give Feedback

"With the Momentum True Wireless 3, Sennheiser cements itself yet again as one of the go-to brands for wireless sound quality. It has a fun and engaging sound signature that has great bass and a great stage, accomplishing what only some of the best Bluetooth earphones can, and that’s clarity."

Sound Guys
Lily Katz | May 2023
"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."
