If sound quality is your top priority, the Sennheiser HD 350BT has a slight edge and is also much more affordable. However, if comfort, build quality, and noise isolation are more important to you, along with better performance for music listening, calls, air travel, and exercise, then the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 may justify its higher price. The Beoplay H95 also offers longer battery life, a foldable design for portability, and a detachable cable, which the Sennheiser lacks. Both headphones are suitable for TV and gaming, but none is particularly optimized for these activities. Give Feedback
