If you prioritize top-notch sound quality and noise isolation for immersive music experiences or frequent air travel, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 is the superior option, with a luxurious build and high comfort level. However, they are costly and not optimized for use during exercise. The JLab JBuds Work Wireless are significantly more affordable with excellent battery life and a highly rated microphone, ideal for calls and meetings. They are less suited for air travel due to lower noise isolation quality and are not the best choice for a high-fidelity audio experience. Neither is sweat or dustproof, but the JLab JBuds lack active noise cancelling which the Beoplay H95 provides for a more private listening environment. Give Feedback

"The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers a near bespoke level of build quality and design with impeccable materials, intuitive controls, and great sound. From an industrial design perspective, they are one of the best wireless headphones we have tested so far."

Tim Gideon | February 2022
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
