What reviewers said

JLab Epic Air ANC

The JLab Epic Air ANC delivers a solid budget-friendly introduction to active noise cancellation, with punchy bass and flexible EQ adjustments via the companion app. While its battery life is impressive and value is strong, the noise cancelling and app performance don't consistently match pricier rivals, making it a decent but not top-tier choice.

  • Pro:Long battery life with charging case
  • Pro:Customizable EQ in app
  • Pro:Affordable price point
  • Con:ANC and transparency are merely average
  • Con:App reliability can be inconsistent
  • Con:Only SBC codec support

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2

Sennheiser's second-gen true wireless earbuds combine rich, detailed audio with effective noise cancellation in a premium, compact design. While the sound is polished and the feature set is solid, they lack multipoint connectivity and may not deliver perfectly neutral tuning for purists. Overall, they remain a compelling high-end choice for those prioritizing musicality and build quality.

  • Pro:Excellent, refined sound quality
  • Pro:Effective noise cancellation
  • Pro:Premium, comfortable design
  • Con:No multipoint connection
  • Con:Sound not perfectly neutral
  • Con:Touch controls can be finicky
