This makes them not the best option if you wish to go cycling or jogging because in such a scenario you would need to be aware of your surroundings.

Battery Life

Battery life on a pair of headphones is a secret covenant between the manufacturer and the user. There would be no point in purchasing a pair of headphones if the battery life could not sustain you throughout the day.

Many people who would consider themselves music heads prefer to listen to music as they work and will tell you that four or five hours is not enough. With both products you will receive a minimum of 18 hours battery life.

This is more than considerable compared to what other products in the same range can offer. The 950BT product just outweighs its rival here by two hours extra battery life. So, if this was the biggest issue for you know you know which to pick.
