If you value audio quality and comfort for longer listening sessions, the Sennheiser HD 350BT over-ear headphones may be worth the extra cost; they generally offer better sound and are more comfortable to wear. However, if you're looking for portability and don't mind sacrificing some audio quality, the Skullcandy Dime 2 earbuds are much less expensive and easier to carry around. The Sennheiser headphones support AptX Low Latency which might be better for videos and gaming, whereas the Skullcandy earbuds do not have this feature but offer a high convenience factor due to their small size.

"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."

"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
