Which should you buy?
The MW09 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 25.2 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 MW09 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.
Pick the Momentum True Wireless 4 if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are spatial audio.
Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
