If superior sound quality for various activities including gaming and TV, as well as premium build quality are important to you, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 would be the better choice; it also offers active noise cancelling for focused listening. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still offers good sound quality for casual music listening and excellent noise isolation, the Soundcore Space A40 would be a wise pick. Keep in mind that the Soundcore may not perform as well for calls, gaming, and TV due to its lesser microphone quality and lack of low latency features. Give Feedback

What HiFi
Andy Madden | January 2024
"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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space A40 is an excellent deal if you want affordable noise canceling earbuds with great sound. The baseline frequency response is enjoyable, and the many EQ presets to choose from plus the ability to customize your sound profile makes it good for pretty much anyone. The noise canceling is quite good, and the many ear tips to choose from ensure a good fit for the noise canceling and isolation to do its job."
