If budget is a concern and you prefer wireless convenience with good battery life, the Earfun Wave Pro may be a better choice, especially for calls, meetings, and travel. They also come with additional features like active noise cancelling, an LDAC codec for high-quality audio over Bluetooth, and they are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. However, if you favor the highest sound quality for music listening and don't mind using a wired connection, the Sennheiser 560S provides superior sound and a wide soundstage but lacks a microphone, active noise cancelling, and wireless functionality. They are also not as portable and have no sweat or dust resistance, which may limit their usage scenarios. Give Feedback

"Sennheiser made a near perfect pair of studio monitors with the HD 560S. Flat bass response? Check. Neutral and uncolored midrange? Check. Extended treble with a bit of lower-treble emphasis to highlight mastering flaws? Check. Fairly easy to drive? Check. Good soundstage and imaging? Check, and check."
