The JLab Go Work Wireless is an over-ear, closed-enclosure headphone that offers both wired and wireless connectivity, superior comfort, and excellent mic quality, making them ideal for calls and meetings. Their build quality, built-in controls, and noise isolation are also quite good. However, they may not be the best choice for an immersive music or TV experience due to their lower sound quality and soundstage scores. Additionally, they are bulkier, which could affect portability. On the other hand, the Sennheiser CX300S is a pair of stemless earbuds that provide a better sound quality and soundstage, and are more portable due to their smaller size, making them a better choice for music and TV. They also offer better noise isolation and are suitable for air travel. However, they don’t have wireless capability, a microphone, or built-in controls, which limits their convenience for calls and multitasking. If the budget is a major factor and you mainly need headphones for work calls, the JLab Go Work Wireless can save you money while meeting your needs. But if you prioritize sound quality for music and portability, investing a bit more in the Sennheiser CX300S could be worthwhile. 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."

Carroll Moore | April 2019
"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."
