For immersive music experiences, the Sennheiser HD 350BT excels with higher overall sound quality, but for calls and meetings, as well as exercise, the Jaybird Vista 2 outperforms due to better call quality and a secure fit designed for physical activity. The Sennheisers offer superior sound for gaming and TV, but their larger over-ear design is less portable than the compact Jaybirds. If you need active noise canceling for noisy environments, the Jaybird Vista 2 provides this feature, as well as being sweatproof and dustproof, making them a better choice for active lifestyles.

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."

"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."
