If sound quality is paramount for you, especially for music and TV, the Sennheiser HD 350BT provides better overall sound and is more suitable for immersive experiences. However, they are not the best for exercise as they are bulkier and don't have sweatproof features. In contrast, the Soundcore Life P3 has excellent noise isolation and actively cancels noise, making them better for air travel and environments with a lot of background noise. The earbuds are more portable and sweatproof, ideal for exercise. The P3s also have a longer battery life and support wireless charging, which the Sennheisers lack, adding convenience. However, the mic and comfort are rated equally for both models. While Sennheiser has slightly better build quality, Soundcore offers more customization through its app controls. Give Feedback

"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."

"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
