Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The Live Beam 3 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 22.0 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

Pick the Live Beam 3 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery — buds, battery — with case, driver size, among others.

The Momentum True Wireless 4 similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.

Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, spatial audio, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
