The JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless are budget-friendly earbuds that are more portable, suitable for exercise due to their sweatproof certification, and have a better microphone for calls compared to the Sennheiser HD 350BT. However, the Sennheiser headphones excel in overall sound quality and are better for immersive experiences like gaming and watching TV due to their superior audio reproduction and features like AptX Low Latency. The Sennheisers also have a longer battery life. If cost and portability for outdoor activities are your top priorities, go for the JBL earbuds; if you prioritize sound quality for media consumption, choose the Sennheiser headphones. Give Feedback

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."

"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."
