The Beats Studiobuds are earbuds that provide good portability and are suitable for exercise due to their secure fit and sweat-proof features. They have noise-cancellation technology, which helps isolate background noise, and they are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Their battery life is average with additional power from the case, and they support wireless charging for convenience. On the other hand, the Sennheiser HD 350BT are over-ear headphones that offer superior overall sound quality and higher comfort for extended listening sessions. They have a longer battery life and are suitable for TV and gaming due to lower latency. However, they are less portable and not as ideal for exercise or travel compared to the Studiobuds.

"For less than the price of the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds delivers a good fit, great sound, and active noise cancellation. This is also the first set of Apple-owned Beats earbuds to feature quick pairing with Android devices, albeit at the expense of some key features for Apple users."

"Sennheiser nails just nearly everything about the Sennheiser HD 350BT headphones. Sound quality is excellent, and the high-quality Bluetooth codec support is a rarity at this price point. If you don’t care for high-tech features like automatic ear detection, you’ll be delighted with these portable headphones."
