The Beats Powerbeats Pro are a great choice for fitness enthusiasts because of their ear hooks that provide secure fit during exercise, sweatproof certification, and longer battery life, though they may not be as comfortable for all users and their sound quality isn't as refined, especially for immersive experiences like gaming and watching TV. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offer superior sound quality and noise isolation, with the added benefit of active noise cancelling, making them better suited for frequent travelers and those who prioritize audio fidelity. However, they have a shorter battery life and could be more prone to slippage during intense workouts. Both have good build quality and offer similar features such as wireless charging, but the Sennheisers have an app with an equalizer and additional controls. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

Christian Thomas | November 2022
"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."
