The JLab Go Work Wireless, being slightly more expensive, offers superior comfort and call quality which could make them ideal for prolonged use in work settings. They also include a boom microphone, which contributes to clearer call quality, a significant advantage if you plan on using them for frequent calls or virtual meetings. The Sennheiser HD 250BT, on the other hand, offers better sound quality and a more immersive experience with virtual surround support, making them better suited for entertainment like gaming and watching TV, supported by their lower latency. Both models lack active noise cancelling, but the Sennheisers handle noise isolation better, which might be a factor if you plan to use them in noisier environments. If you tend to exercise while listening, neither are sweatproof, but the JLab's superior comfort could make them more suitable for light activities. The battery life is comparable in both, so for longer use without charging, either would suit your needs. Give Feedback

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."

"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
