If sound quality and convenience are more important to you and you don't mind spending a bit more, go for the Sennheiser HD 350BT. They offer excellent wireless sound, good comfort, and great battery life, making them great for TV, video, music, and calls. They also boast features like a foldable design, app equalization, and low latency support, which Sony lacks. However, if you're on a strict budget and need a basic, wired pair of headphones for casual listening or if you prefer not to charge your headphones, the Sony MDR-ZX110 might be more suitable despite their lower overall sound quality and lack of advanced features.

"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."

"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
