If you prioritize sound quality for music, gaming, and calls, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 would be the better choice, offering superior overall performance with features like low latency and active noise canceling, as well as aptX Lossless codec for high-quality audio streaming. Although they are costlier and designed for a premium experience, they may justify the price with their versatility for various use cases including exercise. Conversely, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are budget-friendly with open-ear design and bone conduction technology, which might be less ideal for immersive listening but allow for situational awareness, making them suitable for outdoor activities. They do have a tradeoff with lower sound quality and are not optimized for music or high-quality audio experiences. 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."
"If you're looking for a pair of headphones that can be worn while running or cycling, these Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are a great alternative to more expensive models. They're lightweight and compact, so they won't get in the way when wearing them while exercising. Plus, they have a built-in microphone so you can take calls during your workout without having to stop and fumble with your phone. The sound quality is great for this style of headphones, and it has many other cool features."
