Beats Studio Buds Black
Score: 74/100
Sennheiser Sport
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Sennheiser Sport True Wireless earbuds offer a secure fit, IP54 durability and long battery life, making them ideal for active users. They lack true active-noise-cancellation and have a bulkier shape with occasional accidental touch activations. Best suited for fitness enthusiasts who prioritize fit and endurance over premium ANC.
Beats Studio Buds are true-wireless earbuds offering ANC, IPX4 resistance and up to 36 hours total playback with a compact case. Limitations include the need for a cable-only charger, occasional fit issues, and a modest 8-hour battery life when ANC is on. They are ideal for commuters and fitness enthusiasts who want balanced sound and cross-platform compatibility.
