Sennheiser HD 450BT Wireless Headphones, with active noise cancellation, White

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]

Best headphones I’ve ever had & the app that goes with them so you can tailor the sound as you like it is genius.I haven’t been out & about with them on so can't say how well the noise cancellation actually works, but I have noticed when sound cancellation is on the music doesn’t sound quite as good.. for me it’s all about quality.So don’t think I will be using that feature much..But you really don’t need sound cancellation on as the foam surrounds cut out a lot of external noise & once you have music playing, you are in your own world.Also the battery life is phenomenal..I’ve had my headphones for about two weeks now and the battery level is at 80%Just be sure to fully charge before using them to ensure optimum battery life.Highly recommend.. you won’t be disappointed :))

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.

Great headphones. To be expected with sennheiser- nice balance of bass and rish mids - highs are not too bright and pricing- Great for loud listening and gym - however the microphone when you're on a call is soooooo bad that I had to return. I already have sennheiser for Great audiophile listening.. I wanted second one to use this for also gym and taking calls! So bad. The microphone picks up my breathing cars and everything accept the speaker. All calls were a problem. Had to return. I thought it was faulty

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.
