SennheiserHD 450SE Wireless Headphones with Voice Assistant Integration, Bluetooth 5.0 and Active Noise Cancelling [Amazon Exclusive], Black

These are my first Sennheiser headphones. I would really like to love these headsets fully. They are very comfortable to wear, even if I wear glasses. I went for the white versione and they look awesome.Its Active Noise Cancellation performance is good though I found some unexpected glitches in the audio when I wear the headsets in a quiet place with ANC turned ON and without music playing in the ear.Though I should have waited a bit longer to give further review of the durability of the material and how easy it is to transport during business trips, I got to a halt as soon as I tried to connect these headsets to Microsoft Teams on my PCs (both a Microsoft PC and a MAC PC). The microphone of the headset, apparently, cannot connect to Teams, even if it gets recognised by the Settings within Teams, as soon as I make a call the connection to the mic cannot be established.I appreciate that these headsets are not specifically for the Office, but I bought these for an extra £60 over another pair of Stereo Headsets I was using, (which I was planning to give to my wife) from a cheaper brand, expecting to work, for voice calls, at least in a similar way.I thought the microphones in the headset were faulty, as I find some difficulty in discovering the headset mics also when using Audacity or any other recording facility on my MAC.However, I can use the headsets for voice call when they are connected to any of my phones via Bluetooth, and if I use Microsoft Teams on the phone or if I make classic phone calls over the 3G/4G mobile network.I will try to see whether there is anything else I can do to make these beautiful headsets WORK as headsets in a real case scenario - Especially now we are all stuck in lock down, we've got to have some comfortable devices to make phone calls with any video-conferencing facility.If I fail to solve it I will have to send the headset back.[EDIT - DEC20 - After sending them back, I had heard that Sennheiser had worked on a SW update - I bought the headphones again on black Friday, at a bargain £75, I think. They now work with MS-Teams on the PC]

Pros:Sound quality. Just superb. Great dynamic range.Superb noise cancellation.Superb Bluetooth range.Easy to setup (make sure all your Bluetooth drivers are up to date)Comfortable fit, pads can rotate to adjust your ear shape.Great battery life.Cons:You need a smartphone to update the headphone's Bluetooth drivers.Top tip: Make sure your all Bluetooth drivers are up to date before you use the headphones as you may think the device is broken (like I did).Highly recommended for anyone who wants great sounding noise cancelling wireless headphones.

For this price range, the audio quality is amazing. I had to use the equalizer for optimal results, but the app made the process pretty easy and quick.The control buttons are a bit complicated at first and even a little counterintuitive, but you get the hang of it after some time using them.The ANC was more of an extra for me, seems ok though not the best I've tried for sure. Probably average for this price point.The headphones come with a carrier bag which offers literally no cushioning or protection, but it has a pretty nice pocket to store the cables (headphone jack and USB-C charging cable, which are included in the box).The design is pretty nice, the plastic can be a little finicky if you compared to higher price point headphones but it looks durable enough. It has pretty good cushioning on the earcup and a little on the headband, but nothing inside the earcup (where the speakers are).My biggest problem with these headphones is my head and my ears are slightly big so they got uncomfortable after a few hours of listening. I work for 8 hours with them on, so if that's what you are looking for, these might not be for you.Overall, pretty good for what you are paying for them.

Bought these headphones mostly for travelling to America. They’re comfy to wear, easily fold down for storage, and the noise cancellation is perfect for travel by plane or bus. The sound quality is also very good and the equaliser can be adjusted easily through the sennheiser app. The controls on the headphones are also very easy to use. My only issue with them is that there is no indication to let you know you’ve turned on the NC so you can accidentally have it on when just at home and not realise and run your battery down faster than if not. Aside from that though they’re very solid headphones for the price and I’d recommend them

I thought these were great to begin with. Connected up nice and easy straight away, sounded great, battery life was smashing. They worked so well I couldn’t fault them.That was a month ago. The past week/week and a half they’ve been awful. They will not connect to Bluetooth meaning I need to plug them in with an adapter to my devices in order to use them.They won’t turn off without running down the battery so they’re always dead and I’ve just got to a point where I cannot be bothered with the hassle.If you’re gonna use them wired then they’ll be fine, I’m not spending money on another adapter though.It’s so annoying cause I was really liking them but I can’t give them anything above a 1 cause they don’t work as they should do.

Fone sensacional. Realmente confere toda propaganda que vi por aí. Tem um excelente cancelamento de ruído.

Low latency combined with my small low latency transmitter. Now I can finally watch films on the airplane with the lips synced to the sound 😁

Estos auriculares combinan comodidad con un sonido excelente, además de tener un diseño atractivo y acabados de calidad. La efectividad de la cancelación de ruido activa los convierte en una compra acertada. Sin embargo, tras horas de uso, la diadema puede resultar algo incómoda, a pesar de las almohadillas cómodas para las orejas. En general, ofrecen una gran experiencia de sonido a buen precio.

Allt var bättre än förväntat i och med prissättningen. Jag är väldigt nöjd och rekomenderar varmt denna produkt!

Really amazing headphone with amazing sound with wide sound stage. It also has punchy base but not for boomy base lover. I also have bose QC 45 which is as good as 450 BT. ANC is reasonably good but not great.
