If you prioritize sound quality and the convenience of true wireless earbuds, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offers high-fidelity audio, noise cancellation, and comfort for extended wear. Their price reflects the premium features and brand reputation. In contrast, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC are over-ear headphones that provide good noise cancellation and are likely more budget-friendly. They can offer better battery life and can be more comfortable for prolonged use at home or during travel. Consider the Sennheiser if you prefer premium sound and portability, or the Skullcandy if you want to save money without sacrificing noise cancellation and comfort. Give Feedback
