my Sennheiser momentum tw just dies, in the market for some new true wireless buds. requirements:
decent anc
at least 6hr battery life
under $250

I'm prioritizing audio quality here. most likely going to go with Sony wf-1000xm4 unless someone recommends something better.

I dont know. With a good enough fit that becomes a nonissue for me.

It's not just about cancelling noise. ANC systems let you reverse the noise cancelling and let you hear the world around you. When bicycling with earbuds, I like to enable full transparency at busy intersections to ensure I'm aware of my surroundings. Or when mowing the lawn, I activate "Aware" mode which mostly Noise-cancelling, but still lets me hear when if there's a problem (with the motor, or my partner calling for me, etc).
