The JLab JBuds Work Wireless boasts better microphone quality, which makes it ideal for calls and meetings; it's also comfortable and has longer battery life, perfect for extended use. Conversely, the Sennheiser HD 350BT offers superior overall sound quality, which enhances the music listening experience and has better noise isolation. While the JLab is slightly less expensive and works well for exercise and travel due to its durability, the Sennheiser supports low latency codecs, it has optimized controls for a more enjoyable gaming and TV experience. Neither is sweat or dustproof, but the Sennheiser is not foldable, making the JLab more portable. 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."

"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."
