The Sennheiser HD 350BT offers high overall sound quality and is well suited for gaming, TV and video with low latency support, and an effective app equalizer for a personalized sound experience. The headphones are foldable, making them somewhat portable despite their over-ear design which also provides noise isolation. However, they may not be the best option for exercise due to their size and lack of sweatproofing.
On the other hand, Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones provide an open listening experience, allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings, which can be beneficial for outdoor activities or exercise, as they are sweatproof and include secure fit accessories. They are significantly more affordable but have lower sound quality and aren't as immersive for gaming and multimedia.
If budget is a concern and you mainly need headphones for physical activity while being able to hear your environment, go for the Youthwhisper. If you prioritize sound quality and media consumption, and can afford to spend more, the Sennheiser would be the better choice. Give Feedback
