If you're looking for a high-quality audio experience for various uses, including gaming and music, with advanced features like active noise cancelling, aptX lossless streaming, better battery life, and app equalizer, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 is the superior option. They are also suitable for exercise, have a touch of luxury, and support both Android and Apple devices. However, if you're on a budget and need something primarily for gaming or calls with a good mic and wired connectivity, the Steelseries TUSQ would make sense, though they lack wireless functionality, noise cancellation and have lower overall sound quality.

"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 SteelSeries Arctis Tusq is a great headset for those on a more modest budget. You can use it for gaming or music, and I daresay it's also great for Zoom meetings when you don't want to be wearing on-ear or over-ear headphones."
