Is Oral-B or Philips Sonicare better?

There's no single winner across the reviewers we read. Oral-B uses a small round head that oscillates and rotates, which several specialist-subreddit threads say feels like a more aggressive scrub, while Philips Sonicare vibrates and is widely described as quieter with longer battery life. Specialist communities note both clean comparably well in practice; the choice comes down to feel, noise tolerance and brush-head cost.
