If you value wireless convenience and plan to use your headphones primarily for music listening and less critical TV or video watching, the JBL Tune 710BT could be a good fit. These over-ear headphones offer the flexibility to go wired or wireless and have a longer battery life. In contrast, if you prefer a more portable option with better sound quality for TV and video and often travel or listen in noisy environments, the Sennheiser CX300S earbuds may be more suitable, although they don't have a microphone for calls and only offer a wired connection. Both are solid choices, but the JBL is budget-friendly and versatile with controls and a mic, while Sennheiser provides better passive noise isolation and sound quality for certain content without the added features.

"Sennheiser offers impressive bang for your buck when it comes to the CX 300S. Built like a tank and sounding surprisingly good for such a budget-minded earphone, the CX 300S out-classes many of its would-be competitors. Functional but beautiful, it’s the perfect in-ear listening solution for anyone who wants to hear everything and look good doing it."
