If price is a major consideration for you, the JBL Tune 710BT is the more budget-friendly option. They offer a "very good" overall sound quality, are both wireless and wired, and have a great battery life. However, if you're willing to invest in premium features, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus has excellent mic quality, better sound with aptX Adaptive support for low latency listening, and active noise cancellation for a more immersive audio experience. The Sennheisers are also better suited for calls, meetings, and gaming due to their excellent scores in these areas. Additionally, they offer app equalizer customization for personalized sound, but are heavier on the wallet and heavier in weight compared to the JBLs. Give Feedback
