If you're looking for affordability and versatility for work calls, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless earbuds are a great choice and will save you money compared to the Sennheiser HD600. They offer good comfort, built-in controls, and impressive battery life, making them ideal for long conference calls and travel. They are also equipped with a microphone which is handy for calls and meetings. However, if ultimate sound quality and a more expansive soundstage are your priorities, and you mainly want to use them in a quiet environment, the Sennheiser HD600 headphones will deliver superior audio performance but lack wireless capability and have no microphone for calls. Keep in mind the Sennheisers are open-back, which means they offer little noise isolation, while the JLab has closed-back design providing some isolation from ambient noise. 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."
