If you value sound quality and use your audio device for a diverse range of activities like music, gaming, or watching TV, the Sennheiser HD 350BT would be a better choice due to their superior audio performance. However, they are less portable and their bulkier design might not be ideal for exercise. On the other hand, the Skullcandy Dime earbuds are far more portable, more suitable for exercise, and come at a lower cost. They lack the sound quality and immersive experience that Sennheisers provide, especially for gaming and TV, but are more practical when on the go. Neither device supports active noise cancelling, but the Sennheisers offer better noise isolation. The Sennheisers also benefit from a longer battery life compared to the Skullcandy Dime.

"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."
