The JLab Go Work Wireless is a budget-friendly choice with robust features for calls and meetings, boasting a comfortable fit and a quality microphone; they are versatile, suitable for wired and wireless use, and offer decent sound for music. However, the Sennheiser 560S provides superior overall sound quality, particularly for music and TV, due to their open-back design, which enhances soundstage; they, however, lack a microphone, wireless capability, and are less portable. The Sennheisers are more expensive, but if sound quality is your priority, especially for home use, they are a great option. If you need versatility, portability, and want to save money, consider the JLab Go Work Wireless. Give Feedback

Headphone Check
Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."

"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."
