Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT, Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Black

I love headphones. As such I have a number of different sets that I use for a variety of purposes. I generally use them for at home listening, and usually favour wired open-backed over ear headphones that avoid bloated or muddy bass. My current sets are Sennheiser HD599, AKG 702, Beyer 880 and also HD 598CS, and Bose soundlink II. I have tried a number of others that have had to be returned for a variety of reasons. I have wanted a Bluetooth Headphone for casual use, without it being so expensive that I would be afraid to throw it in a bag-and in these Senns I have found it. They are quite different to my usual style, but they represent great value for money. There are two main qualities that a headphone must have for me to consider it a 'keeper.' Audio quality and comfort. Everything else is optional. Comfort... I'll start with comfort as it was my biggest concern with these. Half the headphones I've tried have been uncomfortable, usually beacuse of my ears not fitting well inside over ear phones. It has often been the case that part of my ear touches the driver and that is very distracting. When I first unboxed these I thought they'd be impossible. The shape and size of the ear 'cavity' is incredibly narrow and small--yet they fit really nicely without irritating my ears. I think this is down the the very deep nd very soft pads. Although 'leatherette' the fabric is also less clamy and sweaty than others (such as the Bose.) Clamping forcxe is just right, and comfort is high. The other problem closed back headphones have is 'thudding' when walking. Although there is some of this it is not nearly as bad as other pairs I have tried, and on a par with the Bose. Sound.. Without good sound everything else is wasted. These have a slightly artificial bump in the bass, but it doesn't come at the cost of clarity accross the range. The highs are very slightly redcessed, but less so than I expected based on reviews-just enough to avoid the harsh sibilance that makes the Beyers fatiguing. Seperation and soundstage are both very good (for the price) and these headphones 'kick' when needed, rumble when required, but get the bass out of the way for more neutral or balanced tracks. If you look for headphones that promote extra bass as a feature then these aren't designed for you. The main word I would use to describe the sound is 'rich and full.' Other stuff. Bluetooth connects, battery is fine, they don't beep bchanging tracks etc. on android. They look fairly high end for the price range. The nearest competitor in my collection are the Bose, and I think I prefer these due to clarity and comfort, but they are both close (with the Bose being significantly costlier.) Closed back are unlikely to ever be my main headphones, but I am happy with these as a truly prtable experience tha retains good quality. I also tried Sony CH500(on ear) which are much cheaper but are the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever worn!

I bought the Sennheiser HD 4.40 because I decided an extra £50 for the noise cancelling HD 4.50 was a bit overkill. Turns out I was right. If you're mulling over the 4.40's vs the 4.50's get the 4.40's. Ive been using these for a couple of days now commuting on the Tube, watching movies at home and so on. Noise isn't a problem with these the soft ear cups already cut out pretty much all of the noise you need to cut out. They fit very nicely and are reasonably comfortable. In fact the more I break them in the better they're getting. The headband is a little hard, but if you've got thick hair like me thats not a problem. Though, bald guys, you might find the headband a little hard. It is padded and soft but noticeably firm...again this might change over time with use. As for sound quality. The sound quality is excellent as you would expect from Sennheiser but the tone varies according to what you pair these things with. Paired with Arch Linux using an AptX dongle to watch movies using Kodi, the sound profile is punchy, rich, warm and satisfying. Paired with Android (with AptX) the profile seemed a bit flatter (but not overly so) so you may need an EQ if you want to get a more vibrant experience. I use Pi Music player which has a built in EQ and with the tiniest amount of tweaking I got the sound profile just perfect. For comparison sake, if you know what the Bose QC35's sound like then these headphones will sound richer and warmer compared to the cold aggressive tone of Bose (I find Bose headphones to be a bit trebly). Compared to Beats, theres considerably less volume in the bass here, but the bass is still there, its just not blown out, it's absolutely spot on in my opinion. If you're used to something low end like a Kitsound headphone or maybe a Bludio headphone then you'll find more treble here. You'll also notice a more solid Bluetooth reception. The physical controls work perfectly and are in just the right place. The only minor quirk is when adjusting the volume you get a beep for each notch you adjust. Coming from my old headset this was weird but not annoying. Lastly, don't worry about the all plastic build. These are built like a tank. The materials are tough, flexible and pleasant to the touch. They clamp to your face but not too hard. The pressure is well balanced across the cans and the headband. The faux leather cups are soft and forgiving and large enough to get most ears into. If you're an elephant they won't fit. If you're generally considered to be of roughly human size, you'll be fine. I have reasonably large ears and these feel fine to me. Nice and snug. Overall: Rich sound, great build quality, solid reception, brilliant. Excellent value for money and a very solid contender against 'higher end' kit. If you're a Sennheiser fan. These won't disappoint. If you're not, they won't disappoint.

I was looking for a pair of headphones that I could use to game with (not use as a mic, just for sound) and something I can use with my phone and listen to music on a commute. These headphones certainly looked the part and from the reviews, seemed perfect. At first I have to admit, I was underwhelmed by the initial experience. I'm not 100% sure what I was expecting, I know that I was expecting more. I'm not audiophile, but the sound quality I found initially was lacking. Bass felt like an after thought and the highs were so pronounced that it made everything a tinny chore to listen to. Until I discovered EQs. Then everything changed. I found an EQ on my phone, used CapTune to shape the sound I wanted and found an awesome EQ for my PC. These made the world of difference. I could sculpt the sound I like. The right amount of bass, the perfect level of mids and highs. Now I love them. They're extremely versatile and work well for gaming, for heavy metal (which I listen to a lot of) and for classical/atmospheric music. I can push the volume up and crank up the bass and these don't sound like they're even breaking a sweat. They insulate sound extremely well and I can listen to music at a moderate volume without having the missus poke me and tell me to turn it down. They're lightweight, ear cups are soft and are very comfortable. I've used them for hours on end and not felt like I've needed a break. The headband put a little bit of pressure on the top of my head but after adjusting the fit, that went away, For reference, it was a choice between these and the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. The main attraction there being the on board bass control, but this proved to be gimmicky at best and an unnecessary distraction if you're willing to tweak the Sennheisers to your liking.

Had these for almost a year now and they are by far the best headphones I've had. I needed a wireless pair to replace my hd201 and I trusted Sennheiser so I went with these and I'm not disappointed. Quick summary (read below for full details) Good things: -SPECTACULAR sound quality -very comfortable -long batter life -good controls for volume and playback -very little sound leak Bad things: -gets warm in summer due to good seal -I don't know how these perform with multiple devices -mic is sensitive? These headphones have a great, balanced sound signature with the perfect amount of bass. They work well with any type of music although I mainly listen to some instrumental and pop music. The battery life is excellent although I only use them for commuting - approximately 2 hours a day so doesn't really need to be recharged often. Comfort is another strong point of these headphones. The amazingly soft earcups and the oval shape and good depth meant my ears didn't touch the drivers and the seal was good enough to block out most train noise at around 70% volume. Also, the seal is good enough that only people next to you in a SILENT room with the headphones at 60% or greater volume will be able to hear the music. The controls for volume and playback are amazing because the sliding dial means you can also rewind or fast forward tracks. What I didn't like/could be improved: The good fit and seal on the earcups also means they get really warm in the summer and are basically unusable unless you don't sweat although this is a problem with probably all over ear designs. Pairing with multiple devices is a bit wierd but I don't use multiple devices often enough and I just re-pair each time so don't trust me on this one. When on public transport and taking a call I would need to speak a little louder than usual for the other person to hear because the mic is quite sensitive and picks up on ambient sound. This is a minor issue unless you hate talking a little louder and/or if you will be using these headphones a lot for calling. There were some VERY rare times when the headphones did hurt a little after about an hour but this was because they weren't placed perfectly. This is however solved in a matter of seconds so I wouldn't worry about this.

A terrible and traumatic thing happened to me on Friday. While unfolding my previous pair of over-the-head Bluetooth headphones in preparation to putting them on my head, the right earcup parted ways with the headband and I was left on public transport with no choice but to listen to children screaming, people arguing on the phones and posh toffs talking to each other about how they were arranging a dinner party for twelve guests. I was not happy. The plastic pin holding the right earcup to the headband had snapped completely and there was no chance that I’d ever be able to reliably repair it. This was really quite upsetting - I’d grown fond of those headphones because they were comfortable, looked cool and sounded great and, rather typically, they were just outside of their one year warranty period. All I could do was sigh, hold a minute’s silence for them and then, as per my usual routine, set about the task of rummaging through the internet for ‘top ten’ lists, reviews and recommendations for a new set of cans. Assuming that you’re on a similar journey yourself at the moment, you’ll have no doubt discovered that there’s a simply bamboozling amount of headphones available to buy here on Amazon - and half of them are from manufacturers you’ve probably never even heard of, right? That was the predicament I found myself in too, but fear not - I have done the research so you don’t have to. After reading a heap of reviews on headphones, and with a maximum budget of £80, I narrowed my search down to the AKG Y50BT, Marshall Major II, Plantronics Backbeat 500, Lindy BNX-60, Skullcandy Hesh 3 and the Sennheiser HD440BT. From there, things got very tricky as they were all very well reviewed, but I managed to narrow it down further to a head-to-head between the Skullcandy and Sennheiser ones. As you might have guessed, I ended up plumping for the Sennheiser HD400BT’s in the end as they got glowing reviews from just about everywhere, so I clicked on the ‘Buy’ button and, as ever, they arrived the very next day thanks to Amazon Prime. >>>WHAT’S IN THE BOX? As you’d expect for an £80 set of cans, they come in a very nice box. It opens from a clip on the bottom and the headphones themselves slide of it on a plastic tray, along with a 3.5mm traditional audio-jacked cable, a USB to micro-USB charging cable (but no charger), a soft carrying pouch and a set of three instruction books. I’m always dismayed when I see plastic bags, trays and unnecessary packaging when I’m unboxing things. If you’re reading this, Sennheiser boffins, couldn’t you have made the tray out of cardboard or, even better, provided the headphones in an actual carrying case rather than provide a soft carrying pouch which feels like a bit of an afterthought? We need to paying attention to these things these days! >>>FIRST IMPRESSIONS? When I removed my HD440BT’s from their box, the first thing that struck me was just how robust they felt. Sennheiser are renowned for the quality of materials and attention to detail on their products, and it really, really shows in these - there's a nice weight to them (they're not heavy though) and they just feel really solid and dependable. The folding mechanism they have is also worthy of praise because it doesn't in any way feel flimsy; it just feels smooth and well engineered. I love how they look, too. I’m really not one for the glossy, brightly coloured shiny headphones that some people seem to favour and I felt drawn to these because they’re very understated, with no shiny chrome bits, big logos or flashing lights; they’re all about the matte black and the only thing that gives any clue to their pedigree is the subtle Sennheiser logo above each of the earpieces. Very classy. I also like the fact that they’re compact and don’t protrude too far out from the ears and make you look a bit gonky like some headphones do. The minimalistic approach continues with the controls and ports at the bottom of the right earpiece, where you’ll find the power button, a multi-function slider button, the volume controls, a 3.5mm audio jack port and a Micro-USB port. None of these have any writing on them, which I think is pretty cool. In terms of comfort, upon my first inspection of the headphones, I thought the padding on the earpieces looked very sumptuous and soft, with the pads themselves being made out of memory foam and protein leather. The bottom of the headband was a cause of concern to me, however. Although it has some padding on it, it wasn’t as sumptuous as I’d expect to find on headphones at this price point, so I initially had a worry over how comfortable these would be to wear. >>>ARE THEY EASY TO CHARGE? Yup. These headphones can be charged using any old Micro-USB cable. In fact, once I’d unboxed and examined them, the first thing I did was plug them in and charge them up. An orange LED illuminated on the right earpiece to let me know that they were charging and it took a couple of hours for this to go out, indicating that they were good to go. Easy peasy. >>>ARE THEY EASY TO PAIR? As with any new Bluetooth device, you’ll need to pair these headphones with your audio device before you can listen to music through them. Since the majority of people will no doubt be connecting these to their smartphones, Sennheiser has made this task incredibly simple. If you take the look at the side of the left earpiece, you’ll see an NFC logo. Yep, that’s right - if your phone has got NFC capabilities, you can pair it to these headphones by simply tapping it against them, which is super cool, really convenient and works a treat. Of course, if your phone does not have NFC, you can pair them together using the traditional Bluetooth way, which is very simple to do. >>>HOW DO THEY SOUND? Ah, yes - without doubt the most important thing when it comes to headphones is how they sound, innit?! I’d read some good things about how the HD440BT’s sounded, so I excitedly popped them onto my ears once they had charged fully and cued up some music via the Amazon Music Unlimited app. DISCLAIMER: I should probably mention at this point that I’m not a audiophile and don’t have a set of £500 headphones to compare these to, but I do have a good ear for quality sound. I’ve got a pretty eclectic taste in music too, so I tried to listen to a few different genres to see how they sounded. First of all, I had a listen to the pop track (or as poppy as my tastes dare to venture) ‘Break it to me’ from Muse’s new album ‘Simulation Theory’. It opens up with a nice guitar riff and I was very impressed when the drums started - it was immediately apparent that the HD440BT’s were capable of pumping out some seriously powerful bass as the drums and bass synth in the song sounded simply fantastic; really deep, punchy, dynamic and engaging - but not to the point where it swamped everything else. Once the vocals began, they cut right through the bass with strong mids and impressive clarity and everything in the song sounded incredibly tight. Impressive… Most impressive! Next up, I had a listen to the track ‘Spider/Waves’ from the brand new album ‘Bi/Mental’ from Le Butcherettes and was actually blown away by how good it sounded. The clarity and control over the audio from these - particularly when listening to something that’s well mixed and mastered - is quite breathtaking and I listened, grinning and somewhat slack-jawed, as the beautiful bass, drums and moog in the song punched my ears with meaty slabs of bass while the ethereal guitar echoed resonantly - and Terri’s crystal-clear vocals cut right through everything, totally unimpeded. I was definitely coming to agreement with the reviews that I’d read about these headphones sounding great. Now for something a little more challenging - I fired up the track 'Eldrich’, the title track from Parius's album ‘The Eldrich Realm’, which is a very loud and fast paced metal track with some surprising depth and orchestration. It's also a very well mixed track and again I found myself pleased to hear how well these headphones dealt with the sonic assault that this track imposed on them - they didn’t get muddled or swamped and were able to keep a tight rein over things. I’ve heard some headphones really struggle with tracks like this and these just breezed through it perfectly. Finally, something far more relaxed and delicate - ‘Scheherazade: The young prince and the young Princess’ by Rimsky Korsakov. This is a beautiful classical piece and I was super impressed by how these headphones dealt with it. They’ve got a beautifully rich tone to them when listening to classical, with that added bass kick really adding power to the low end, and the mids and highs dealing perfectly with the nuanced elements in it. I’d read that these headphones worked best with rock, pop and metal, but upon listening to a few more tracks through them, I’m pretty certain that the majority of people (or at least the ones who are not complete audio snobs) will agree that pretty much everything sounds good coming through them. I love the powerful bass that they’re capable of, but what impresses me even more is the fact that it’s balanced so well that it doesn’t interfere with the mids and highs and makes just about anything you play through them sound great. >>>ARE THEY COMFORTABLE? So far, yes. There’s a good deal of adjustment in the headband and the earpieces rotate, so it’s pretty easy to adjust them until they feel right. Unlike my last headphones, which sat on the top of my head and used it as a support for the soft headband they had, these Sennheiser ones are designed differently and actually clamp onto the ears so they don’t really rely on the headband that much for support, which probably explains why it’s not as padded as some are. When it comes to the earpieces themselves, I was surprised to see how small the aperture in them was. Although they appear to sit on the ears, they’re actually designed so that your ears fit into the aperture, which works very well for my ears, but I would imagine that it could be bothersome and possibly uncomfortable for those who have larger ears. I use my headphones mostly for when I’m on public transport, which means that I’ll wear them for an hour at the most going to and coming from work, and during those periods I’ve found them to be very comfortable. I do suspect that they’ll make my ears toasty warm during the warmer months, though - so I might report back here as to whether I find that a problem or not. >>>ARE THEY NOISE CANCELLING? Well… No. If you’re after proper noise cancellation, you’ll need to go for the Sennheiser HD450BT’s which have got ‘NoiseGard’ active noise cancelling and are about double the price. Thankfully, because the HD440BT’s sit quite tightly on the ears and have wonderfully soft earpieces, they do a very good job of isolating the sound from the outside world anyway. When I’m sitting on a packed Edinburgh tram and there’s lots of people chatting and there’s generally a lot of noise, I have to say that I’m completely oblivious to it with these on my ears. >>>ARE THERE ANY DROP OUTS? Not so far, no. The Bluetooth/ApTX connection to these from my phone (a Huawei Mate 10 Pro) has been really strong and stable and I’ve been able to roam around Edinburgh city centre without experiencing any issues with these dropping the connection or stuttering - which is something that absolutely plagues lesser headphones. >>>IS THE BATTERY LIFE GOOD? Actually, I can’t answer that yet - I’ve been using them for a week so far and after charging them when I first got them, they’re showing absolutely no sign of needing charged yet. According to Sennheiser, they should be good for 25 hours of battery life, which is very impressive and means that I should only need to charge them every couple of weeks. I’ll come back here with an update to let you know if that’s the case. UPDATE 09/03/19 - I've now had my Sennheiser HD4.40's for a month and after using them every day for approximately two hours and the odd listen when at home (and also having a week's holiday where I didn't use them at all), I finally had to charge the, for the first time yesterday - so it's fair to say that the Battery life on these is nothing short of INCREDIBLE. In fact, by my calculations it's actually better than expected, which is a pleasant surprise. >>>SUMMING UP Although I was upset when my old set of headphones kicked the bucket, I’m sort of reaping the benefits now because these Sennheisers are superior in pretty much every single way. They look great, feel very well designed and constructed, sound FANTASTIC and tick pretty much all of the boxes for me, so I would have no hesitation in recommending these if you’re looking for a good set of cans that won’t break the bank.

Bought with my own cash money. In a world where every headphone manufacturer and his dog is sticking noise cancelling on their wireless headphones it's refreshing to have a headphone that just offers the basics. This new line from Sennheiser is no exception to the bells and whistles approach as for a little more money you can pick up the HD4.50 which is essentially the same headset as the 4.40 but it adds ANC to the mix. So it's nice at least to have the choice of a 'basic' wireless headset for those who don't really need/want the extras. Now (digression alert!) - I'll admit - I have a love/hate relationship with ANC. I love the silence I get from my Bose QC35 as the ANC is second to none. Take them into the outside world however and it's pointless as the active mics on the outside of any ANC headset (which enable it to process the external ambient noise to counteract it) produce varying degrees of wind noise which negate the benefits of ANC - In my opinion/experience at least. YMMV of course. Now I still use my QC35 but indoors and as a wired headset (as the Bluetooth connection is shockingly unstable - see my review for more info). Mainly for watching TV etc and for reading in silence and the ANC is the best there is. Bar none. Other manufacturers offer slightly worse (i.e. Cheaper) levels of NC which have less external mics and I've found that some of these work pretty well for real world portable use. Beats Studio Wireless is one example. Whilst it's not cheaper (that's Beats for you) the NC is nowhere near as good as the QC35 but conversely it creates a better listening experience as there are hardly any external mics resulting in an exceptionally reduced wind noise factor. But again because of all the bells and whistles you're looking at a 300 quid shell out. So I digress - and it seems this has been a rather long winded way of saying that I've been through virtually every wireless NC headset out there and found 99.9 percent of them lacking so it's nice to have the option of a stripped down wireless headset sans bells and whistles! Phew - Digression over! OK back to it - the 4.40? Right - What Sennheiser have achieved with this headset is quite simply the best combination of great sound, great Bluetooth, great materials, great build quality that I've experienced in a wireless headset. And all of this in a moderately priced confection to boot. I say 'moderately priced' as some (i.e. My long suffering wife) quite rightly see a £130 headset as expensive but we all know that this can be an insane hobby for your wallet. And more expensive doesn't always mean 'better'. An example - I've spent £420 on a wireless pair before (Master & Dynamic MW60) and yet I prefer the HD4.40 at nearly £300 cheaper. But it's all subjective and everyone has their own taste so don't judge me too harshly! So build quality wise - it's plastic buuuuut it's Sennheiser plastic. Which believe me does mean something as they always do a fabulous job with materials and their build quality and QC is generally up there with the best. The 4.40 is no exception in this regard and because of its pared back offering it's also the lightest headset I've ever used and in my eyes this makes it ever more truly Wireless. Battery life is up there with the best and though it may not be the 40 hour behemoth of the Beats Solo 3, 25 hours ish is certainly at the top end of what's out there at the moment. And whilst I like the Solo 3 (also reviewed) I much prefer the build quality and sound signature of the 4.40. For one the plastic folding mechanism of the 4.40 inspires more confidence than the metal of the Beats. Strange I know but in my eyes true nonetheless. Sound wise - well It's a very Sennheiser sound and combines the best of the mid centric focus they have always been known for with the added elements of the new house sound evident in their more recent forays into the world of the modern Audiophile. So for that read an extra serving of low end oomph and a bit of extra sparkle up top from neutral. No sibilance at all and for Bluetooth the bass is tight and well formed. Soundstage is just average but that's to be expected for a wireless BT headset although the imaging is pretty good with good instrument placement. Its a sound signature that I really like (and I'm a neutral lover) and it works great when out and about as the extra oomph and sparkle really give it a lively dynamic sound that isn't drowned out by the sound of the outside world. So cons? Not many for me. Some may bemoan the lack of a case but I certainly wasn't expecting accessories at this price point. Some may bemoan the plastic and the lack of refinement and luxury offered by the B&W P7 Wireless (also reviewed)? But the HD4.40 is just shy of £200 cheaper so it's horses for courses. Besides I found the Bass a little overdone when using the P7 in wireless mode something which I haven't found in the 4.40 which is fantastic given the price. The ear cushions are small - about on par size-wise with the Momentum 2.0 (& Wireless) and whilst I have no idea why Sennheiser have such a strict penchant for tiny ear holes, given that I found those models incredibly uncomfortable, fortunately the pads on the 4.40 are thicker and softer and as a result I've not experienced these same levels of discomfort. So result! But I only use mine for commuting do can't comment on longer listening sessions as I didn't buy these for that purpose. So all in all the HD4.40 is a phenomenal headset with great sound, fantastic build quality, rock solid Bluetooth connection (zero drop outs so far) and all this at the same price point as some lesser creaky Sony models and 120 quid cheaper than the slightly less creaky Beats Solo 3. What's not to love? Hope some of this helps. Stew

These headphones really are a great all rounder. I brought these before travelling, after doing loads of research and reading tonnes of reviews, i decided to buy these. They are slightly on the pricier side, but all things considered they are worth it. The plastic material may feel slightly 'cheapy' to many, but it is durable and having worn these every day since delivery, overseas and at home, are well built. The so called 'noise cancelling' is not as good as renowned active noise cancelling headphones from companies like bose or beats, but does a fairly good job. Sound quality is excellent, good bass and mid ranges... get a good eq on your phone and you are away! Comfort wise, these are incredibly comfortable, the most comfortable i have tried, not too tight, and nice cushion. User interface and bluetooth conectivity can bee a bit fiddly, but works well when connected. Overall a great pair of headphones i would reccomend...

I think the headphones are built great considering they are all plastic. Commands are a bit fidgety along with the unnecessary voice saying On Off etc... Sound Quality is good considering they are Sennheiser. Perhaps a better carry case would be nice and buying a 3rd party shell is between 10-20 pounds, not the most affordable. My biggest complain is how much sound leaks!!! They are most basically unusable in the library, everyone can hear what you are listening to. I tried on medium/low volume and even when the ear cups are completely covered, sound still leaks. Definitely a Con. If Sound leak is not a problem, these are great value in terms of audio quality and will get you through the day for the price.

جيدة جدا و بتعد مدة تشغيل كتير بعد بالتلات تيام ما اشحنهاش. منتج و جودة المانية ممتازة. بس فيه عيب لازم اما تيجي تشغلها اول مرة عشان يشوفها الموبايل او اللابتوب، لازم و انت بتغط ع الزرار بتاع الباور تفضل ضاغط لمدة ثواني متواصل لغاية ما يقلب من الازرق الي الاحمر و يفضل يقلب بين اللونين منتظرا انك تكونيكت عليه من الموبايل او اللابتوب. ساعتها الموبايل او اللايتوب ح يشوفها و بعدين تعملها pair. وده مش مكتوب في الكتالوج. بس هيا جودتها صوت نقي عالي الجودة للغاية. و خامتها جيدة للغاية وده بعد تجربة اكتر من سنة. سينهيزر ماركة الماني معروفة.

Actually this Headset / Headphone does come with some cons but these surely even compete against some top of the end wireless ANC Headphones like Bose QC35. Also 4.3 stars are for Sennheiser HD 4.40BT and 1 Star is for Really unexpectedly fast delivery & Good packaging too. ---------→ Sound quality :- Now Coming to Sound quality of these Cans.... It was UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD for wireless 11k cans. It's Bit unique I would say it simply has Typical Sennheiser sound signature with More emphasize on Vocals and It is Mid Bass Centric and have bit less Emphasized Low end bass But that low end bass is still there and is presented in very Control way. I would also like to mention these Cans do sound bit better in Bluetooth Mode Specially Bass distortion is very very less and it's well presented and well Controlled. Also it does retain 80-85% Volume as compare to it's wired mode which can be really loud and In WIRED MODE these Cans sound superb and really good enough bass to even satisfy a bass head which I am not. Highs are bit rolled off and Treble detail is there but not much as you would expect if you have used any good Audiophile Headphones then you'll get my point. But Whole Treble / High freq spectrum is presented in such controlled way that these cans sound really really relaxed and you ain't going to feel any sort of ear fatigue. • So yeah these DO Sound BIT WARM BUT VERY RELAXED AS WELL VERY SMOOTH so you can use these cans for even 5-6 hours continuously without any sort of ear fatigue and these are very very breathable Headphones. Mind you I ain't an Audiophile but I tried my best to explain how these sound. Just for a side note I do own Audio Technica M50x and these don't sound as AGGRESSIVE & In your face and DOESN'T SOUND AS DETAILED as M50's. But I can guarantee you that You are definitely going to enjoy these cans like very much and these are fun to listen to RELAXED sounding Headphones. Also I have Tried Sony XB950bt, Xb650ap, xb450ap, Bose Qc35 ( Picture included ), Beats solo 3 ( Picture included ) and these do stand out and sound far better yes even better than all of those cans and Specially even better than 30k Priced Bose Qc35. Maybe bass heads will choose Xb950bt or Skull Candy Crushers which sounded very less details and they were totally bass centric. ------------→Pros :- 1) These are very light weight Headphones and earpads of these Cans are simply very freaking comfortable ( for small to Avg size ears ). 2) After 2-4 hours of usage once you'll get familiar with it's Controls then it does certainly have very simple straight forward Trigger button to pick up phone calls and to skip songs and for fast forwarding and approx all sorts of functions are quite easy to do with that Button. And Volume buttons do provide feedback which that Trigger Multifunction Button doesn't provide which is totally fine for me. 3) These are well Build Headphones for Specially it's price range and these surely do provide Premium feeling and These do have that minimalistic design and it's actually really Very Beautiful simple Looking design and very Public Friendly design so you can wear them in public while looking cool and without catching attention of many people. 4) Fit and stability of these cans is simply superb and once you'll wear them you can go to Gym, Running, for work out or any sort of activity. As these cans simply have good fit and doesn't slip from your head. 5) BT Pairing of these cans is very simple procedure and You can pair it with two different devices at a time and These do provide really excellent Bluetooth range as I was able to use even in my duplex house too. Also whenever you Power on These Cans simply keep bluetooth of your device Always ON as these cans do pair automatically with the device if that device is available to connect. 6) Call quality on these cans is simply superb and these certainly do impressive work as you can listen to your own voice too otherwise you'll end up speaking loudly while using these cans as Headsets because of Noice isolation of these cans. It's omni directional mic also picks up some background noises as well. 7) Passive Noise cancellation / Noise isolation of these cans is simply damn good and so good I literally thought I am wearing an ANC enabled Headset. There is minimum Sound Leakage even at 100% Volume and specially if you are sitting in a bit noisy environment like travelling in Bus so person sitting next to you simply ain't going to be disturbed at all . 8) These have quick pairing NFC option so without pressing it's power button Everytime you can simply slide your NFC enabled Android phone over it's Left earcup to simply pair it with these HD 4.40BT and these also come with AptX codec too. 9) Battery life of these Cans is simply freaking amazing. There was 30% battery left Even after 20-21 hours of usage at 100% volume and I also used these headsets for calling in that 20-21 hours usage interval. Specially It's audio plug is positioned in such manner as well it's included cable is so light that you won't feel like that you are using them in Wired mode. ------------→Cons :- 1) Your earsize should be either small or avg and if you are ears are large or way above avg earsize then your These cans might be bit Uncomfortable for you because it's Earcups are more suited for Small to Avg size ears. (Check M50x earpad vs HD 4.40BT earpad size difference in picture.) 2) These cans surely have bit more clamping force and you might actually have to adjust these after half to one hour But if you'll find that sweet position by adjusting them a little bit so you can wear these for hours and hours without any issue at all. 3) There is Bit of a distortion in Wired mode at 100% volume in like 2/3 songs outta 100 songs which are Mid bass Centric songs and naturally really really loud songs too & which I have on my iPhone 5s it simply feels like Bit overdriven for those 2/3 songs and due to that there is bit fuzz type noise in Mids other than that for rest of 97 songs these did a freaking job of sounding really good and really relaxed as well without any Sound & Specially bass distortion at all. ( I am pretty sure these are being overdriven for those specific songs ). 4) Carrying pouch or bag is bit of disappointment which I shouldn't mention for it's price point but still it's not something that reliable pouch which you would like to have for these cans. And So yeah this was my Review about it and Thanks for checking out my Review. Also I bought these for 7500 while they were on discount but these do certainly deserve 11k easily and I do recommend these to anyone looking to buy wireless cans under 11k. ---------→ Some Side Notes :- 1) Yes, These Cans do Require some burn in and after two week usage ( 4-5 hours on daily basis ) bass has improved so as other Upper Mids and treble has more detail now specially bass has increased and is being presented more tightly and it's bass now goes even more deep without leaking in mid spectrum at all and These do surely sound better after some burn in. 2) For Those WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT LOW VOLUME in Bluetooth Mode....... - First Make Sure to Increase Volume of these cans to Max 100% as well as volume of your mobile media player to 100% as well. - Use High Quality 320Kbps Audio Files otherwise low quality audio files can result into low volume in Bluetooth Mode. - For Videos Use Mx Video player and use its SW Decoder and increase Volume of your music video or movie to 30 if you want to. I will keep updating this Review if I need to in future.

Je suis très satisfait de ces écouteurs. Je les ai achetés sans vouloir dépenser trop d'argent pour eux et je suis très satisfaite du résultat. Dès le moment où je les ai tenus dans ma main, ils se sont sentis comme de la qualité avec un design simple et discret. Dès le moment où je les ai mis, ils se sont sentis à l'aise. Ils restent en place malgré le fait que je penche la tête vers l'avant pendant que je prends des notes au téléphone - ils restent aussi en place pendant les travaux ménagers - ils ne changent pas du tout. Cependant, la qualité audio (en conjonction avec mon iPhone) est fantastique. J'entends ma musique avec des oreilles fraîches - j'entends des nuances que je n'entendais pas avant. J'entends les instruments individuels qui sont joués. C'est merveilleux. Je pense que la qualité est meilleure avec Bluetooth qu'avec le câble audio - peut-être parce que le convertisseur analogique-numérique dans les écouteurs est meilleur que celui de mon iPhone. Bien que le microphone soit intégré à l'une des oreillettes, la qualité du son sortant est également bonne. La portée Bluetooth est également bonne - je peux me déplacer dans tout mon (petit) appartement en laissant le téléphone derrière moi sans problème d'abandon ou de qualité. Je n'ai eu aucun problème pour apparier et basculer entre mes iPhones et mon iPad. Les commandes sont faciles à utiliser - elles sont toutes sur le côté droit autour de la jante pour que vous puissiez les utiliser avec votre pouce droit. La seule préoccupation, c'est que celles-ci ne sont pas des antibruit - la version antibruit en valait peut-être la peine après tout, mais je vais devoir les porter dans d'autres trains et d'autres avions pour prendre une décision à ce sujet. De plus, si vous utilisez le câble audio (par exemple dans un avion), les commandes de l'oreillette ne sont pas transmises à l'iPhone. Dans l'ensemble, je suis ravi de ces produits et je suis tellement heureux de les avoir choisis.

➤ Warum gekauft? Ich bin Pendler und habe mir einen guten Kopfhörer gesucht. Ich habe nun Jahre lang nur inEars verwendet und das hat mich jetzt genervt. Letztes Jahr hatte ich einen JBL Everest ELITE 700 Kabelloser Bluetooth Over-Ear Surround Kopfhörer mit NXTGen Active Noise Cancelling, Musiksteuerung und Integriertem Mikrofon - Weiß , den fand ich jedoch nicht gut (vor allem für den Preis). Dann habe ich mir den Sennheiser HD 4.30G Headset (geschlossenes, ohrumschließendes, geeignet für Android) schwarz . Mit dem bin ich eigentlich nach wie vor sehr zufrieden, ini letzter Zeit hat mich jedoch das Kabel zunehmend genervt. ➤ Bewertung Positiv ✔ sehr guter Klang bei Musik ✔ auch Podcasts (höre ich sehr viel) rauschen eigentlich nicht (einer meiner Hauptkritikpunkte am JBL) ✔ einfache Einrichtung ✔ sitzt sehr gut ✔ lässt sich gut und intuitiv bedienen (auch wenn die Knöpfe ein wenig klein sind) ✔ dezentes Design ✔ das Telefonieren geht sehr gut ✔ Akku hält sehr lange Negativ ✘entweder habe ich sehr große Ohren oder das ist eher ein OnEar Kopfhörer ✘ wird warm am Ohr ➤ Fazit Der Kopfhörer gefällt mir sehr gut. Er hat im Endeffekt die gleiche Passform wie mein "alter" HD 4.30G, jedoch zusätzlich die BT Funktionalität. Dadurch, dass er doch recht stramm eingestellt werden kann, achte ich genau darauf, wie ich ihn aufsetze, denn wenn ich das nicht tue, dann drückt es nach einiger Zeit am Ohr. Der Klang ist sehr gut, ich kann ihn ohne nachzudenken, intuitiv bedienen. Von mir gibt es, verdiente 5 Sterne (wenn man den Preis von 99 € berücksichtgt ist das sogar mehr als gerechtfertigt) Update: ich habe mir noch LTGEM Hart Lagerung Tragen Travel Case Tasche für Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Wireless Kopfhörer (Over-Ear) / Pro Wireless Kopfhörer / Sennheiser Momentum Kopfhörer. für die Aufbewahrung des Kopfhhörers gekauft. Da passt der Kopfhörer perfekt rein und das Kabel ist gut aufgeräumt.

These headphones are great, I've always hated Bluetooth headphone because of how often you need to charge them, but this set holds its charge for a long time, it's also very comfortable and sounds great! The noise cancellation is ok, it won't cancel out loud noiseslike for example: if you are sitting in the back of a city bus next to the engine, you will hear the engine through the headset but it's nearly noticeable if you raise the volume a bit. The one downside of this headset is that the mic is a bit quiet and as someone who works customer support, using this headset on my laptop for support calls made me hear myself as well as things around me at a fraction of a second of delay and louder than natural, and with the added effect of the mic not being able to record surround sound( which is expected for a mic of this value) it made me feel a bit sick to my stomach. Buy a real customer support headset if that's what you are looking to do with this thing If you are looking for a good headset to listen to music during your comute home, then this is a really good value
