If you prioritize sound quality, especially for music and TV, the Sennheiser HD 350BT offers a superior listening experience, but keep in mind they are larger and not as suitable for exercise or travel compared to the Creative Labs Outlier Pro. The Outlier Pro is more budget-friendly, suited for calls and meetings with good mic quality, and their earbuds are sweatproof, making them ideal for exercise. Both have active noise cancelling, but the Outlier Pro has better battery life and also supports wireless charging. For frequent travelers or active users, the Outlier Pro might be more convenient, while the HD 350BT caters to at-home listeners who want higher sound quality and comfort. Give Feedback
