JBL Under Armour Flash vs Sennheiser CX Sport

The JBL Under Armour Flash makes for a good, if unremarkable, Earphone for people with a $130 budget.

The Sennheiser CX Sport, however, is merely mediocre at its $121 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $130 and $85 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.

It did great in its "The Best Bluetooth Headphones for Running" roundup where it was named its "Good for MapMyRun Users", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

It should be said that doing a direct JBL Under Armour Flash vs. Sennheiser CX Sport comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
