If you prioritize excellent sound quality and are willing to pay a higher price, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 is a strong choice; they also have a better microphone for calls and meetings. However, if you're budget-conscious but still looking for quality earbuds, the Soundcore Space A40 provides good sound quality and longer battery life at a significantly lower cost. The Sennheisers have some advantages for gaming and TV with high scores in those areas, while the Soundcore doesn't perform as well for those uses. Soundcore does offer a smaller and lighter design, sweatproof certification, and wireless charging, which are not present in the Sennheiser model. So consider what features are most important for you and how much you're willing to spend. Give Feedback
