Choosing between the Rode NTH-100M and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 comes down to preferences for headphone type and usage scenarios. The Rode NTH-100M, being over-ear headphones, would provide better isolation and potentially a more comfortable fit for extended periods, which is ideal for critical listening or studio work; however, they may be less convenient for on-the-go use due to their size. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2, as in-ear earbuds, offer portability and convenience for traveling or exercising, with the benefit of active noise cancellation to block out ambient noise. The Sennheisers also have a microphone for making calls, while the Rodes are focused on high-fidelity audio reproduction. If cost is a concern and you don’t need the convenience of wireless earbuds, the Rode may be a better value. However, if you prioritize wireless freedom, compactness, and active noise cancellation, the Sennheiser earbuds may be worth the extra investment. Give Feedback

They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
