If you prioritize high-quality sound for a variety of activities including music, gaming, and calls, and want the latest technology with features like low latency and active noise cancelling, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 may be worth the premium price. However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option with very good noise isolation and a decent performance for exercise use, the Soundcore Life P3 could be a better fit. Keep in mind, the Sennheisers offer superior build and sound quality, comfort, and additional features such as lossless codec support and sweatproof certification, whereas the Soundcores offer very good build quality and battery life at a more accessible price point.

"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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
