The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds offer a more balanced sound and better noise isolation, which is great for immersive music experiences, but they may not be the best choice for TV or gaming due to latency issues. On the other hand, Soundcore Space Q45 headphones provide longer battery life and include an ANC feature for noise cancellation, though they may not match the sound quality of the Sennheisers. The Sennheisers are typically more expensive, so if budget is a concern, the Soundcore may offer better value. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Riley Ballantyne | June 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
