If you prioritize high-quality audio for varied uses including music, calls, gaming, and TV, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 is equipped with advanced features like lossless codec support and active noise cancelling, suitable for a premium listening experience. However, they come at a premium price. On the other hand, the Skullcandy Dime is much more affordable and offers good sound quality with a compact form, though it may not match the Sennheiser's performance in areas like sound isolation and is not recommended for gaming or watching TV due to a lower score in those categories. If you're looking for a budget-friendly earbud that's extremely portable and good for casual listening or calls, the Dime could be the better choice. Choose the Sennheiser if you're willing to invest in a higher-end audio experience and need features like low latency and sweatproof certification for exercise. Give Feedback

"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
"For $25, the Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds deliver a powerful, balanced, rich, and bright sound signature. There’s really not much else to talk about, but the audio is better than you would expect for the price."
