Our Verdict

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless are better headphones than the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2. The Bose are more comfortable and stable. They have a more neutral sound profile, which some may prefer, and their ANC feature can reduce more noise than the Sennheiser. They also have a longer-lasting continuous battery life. However, the Sennheiser have a better overall mic performance.
