If you're seeking high-quality sound and use your headphones for listening to music, gaming, or watching TV, the Sennheiser HD 350BT would serve you well with its excellent sound quality, good comfort, and features like aptX Low Latency for better sync during gaming or TV. However, if budget is a concern and you need something more portable for on-the-go listening or if you're often in noisy environments, the Sony MDREX15AP with its good noise isolation, very good portability, and lower price could be a more suitable option, albeit with lower overall sound quality. Keep in mind, the Sennheiser is wireless with a long battery life, while the Sony is a wired option which may be limiting if you prefer the freedom of wireless audio. Give Feedback

Soundguys

Lily Katz | September 2023
"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."

Make It Sound Great

Pete Anthony | June 2022
"At the ultra budget $10 price-point (and we’ve seen the no-mic version go for as cheap as $7), I’d say these are a decent option if you’re looking for a passable pair of earbuds for basic use that’s as cheap as possible. I wouldn’t say they feel or sound as good as some of the ultra-budget alternatives out there – of which there are a few at this point – but some might disagree. I will say though that the cable is a little bit nicer than those of that same competition."
