If you're focused on saving money and need a headset largely for calls, meetings, or office work, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless would be a more economical choice given their excellent mic, good comfort, and features optimized for such tasks, including a boom mic. However, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus is a premium product with very good noise isolation, active noise cancelling, and supports high-quality audio codecs like AptX Adaptive which elevates music and video experience, making them preferable for high-fidelity audio enthusiasts and frequent air travelers. The Sennheisers also offer better build quality, app-based customization, and are better for a wider range of experiences like gaming, but come at a higher price. Give Feedback

PC Magazine
Tim Gideon | February 2022
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
