What reviewers said
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
SoundPEATS Air5
The SoundPEATS Air5 are half-in-ear true wireless earbuds that deliver a notable step up in sound quality and call clarity over earlier models, with useful multipoint pairing and a lightweight, comfortable fit. However, their active noise cancellation is underwhelming and may not meet expectations for those prioritizing strong isolation. Overall, they offer a solid feature set for the price, though some reviewers feel they fall short of being a must-buy.
- Pro:Improved sound quality over predecessors
- Pro:Clear call performance with six microphones
- Pro:Lightweight and comfortable half-in-ear design
- Con:Active noise cancellation is weak and easily ignored
- Con:May not justify purchase over cheaper alternatives
- Con:Some users might find the fit less secure than in-ear designs
