The Bottom Line Priced less than Bose's OE2i on-ear headphones, the comparable Sennheiser 238i headphones deliver good bang for your buck. If you're sick of tangled wires, the Creative WP-350 model is one of the better-sounding Bluetooth wireless headphone sets for the money. The Creative WP-450s are good Bluetooth wireless headphones, but the step-down WP-350 model is a better deal. You can debate the price, but the iPhone-friendly Bose OE2is are very comfortable everyday-use headphones with a compact frame and balanced, detailed sound. The MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 Bluetooth headphones are very solid for the money.
