Creative WP-350

Creative WP-350

Creative has evolved into a value audio brand that delivers a lot of bang for your buck, so it's no surprise that its $79 WP-350 on-ear Bluetooth headphones sound very good relative to the price. On the other hand, on-ear headphones aren't for everyone due do the way they sit flush against your ear -- some may find them more comfortable than others. In the case of the WP-350, I found them fairly comfortable and experienced no problem wearing them on a 30-minute commute every day to and from work. Still, they're not quite as comfortable as competing on-ear wired headphones like the Bose OE2i or the Sennheiser HD 238i, and my ears did get a little steamy on warmer days. More importantly, I was able to achieve a fairly tight seal on my ears, and these headphones do a decent job shutting out the outside world. I can't say I felt incredibly cool wearing them, but their design is attractive enough with a subtle design punctuated with a glossy finish on the outer portion of the ear cups. Again, there's nothing terribly fancy about these headphones, but they seem well designed and should hold up fairly well to daily carries. No case is included, unfortunately, and while the cups do fold flat, the headband can't fold up like the more expensive AKG K830BTs.
