If you prioritize high-quality audio for music and calls, especially in noisy environments or during air travel, and appreciate excellent build quality and controls, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus with active noise cancelling and aptX Adaptive codec would be better, despite the higher price. They offer a more immersive experience with good soundstage and long battery life but are less portable. In contrast, if you're on a budget and need headphones that are sweatproof, dustproof, and allow you to remain aware of your surroundings during activities like exercising, the Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones are suitable, albeit with lower sound and build quality. They're also lighter and have a unique open-ear design, but they lack a microphone and are not optimized for music or TV watching. Give Feedback
