According to our headphones expert
Hear more of the music and less of your surroundings with the Sennheiser HD 450BT. The headphones have noise canceling, which allows you to reduce intrusive ambient noise and white noise. You can listen to music wirelessly via Bluetooth. Thanks to the aptX Bluetooth profile, the signal from the headphones to your smartphone is of high quality. This allows you to listen to a higher sound quality. If you want to hear more bass, download the Sennheiser Smart Control app. This allows you to easily adjust the high and low tones. If noise canceling is on, you can listen to music for 30 hours on a fully charged battery. That's a long time compared to other noise canceling headphones.
Note: Sennheiser does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your current accessories, or purchase them separately.
Sound according to expertWith these headphones, you enjoy a reasonably full bass sound thanks to the emphasis on the bass. The medium-high tones are rarely accentuated, so they're balanced. This way, instruments and vocals sound exactly like the artist intended them to. With the equalizer in the Sennheiser Smart Control app, you decide with tones you want to emphasize.

Design
After having held on to classic earphones or headphones (with wires) for a very long time, we have now taken the step to a wireless model. This is simply because an audio jack on a smartphone is becoming increasingly rare. First and foremost, the sound quality. As a lover of classical music with a good quality streaming subscription, I feared that there might be some loss of quality due to the connection via Bluetooth, but with this model you notice next to nothing thanks to the AptXHD sound codec. In addition, it is equipped with the low latency function, so that you can watch Netflix or anything else with perfectly synchronized sound. Impressive. In terms of ease of use and wearing comfort, this Sennheiser HD 450BT also scores (very) strongly. It took me a while to get used to the exact layout of the many physical buttons on the right earcup, but in the meantime I enjoy the many possibilities: active noise canceling on/off, answer or reject a call, change volume, numbers pause or skip/repeat: it's all possible without having to pull out your phone. Impressive. Since these are the first active noise canceling headphones I've ever bought, I can't compare, but the function works pretty well on this Sennheiser anyway. As soon as you turn on ANC, you end up in a kind of auditory bubble, where all outside sounds are strongly muffled or even banned. Very handy, especially on the bus or train, where the function comes into its own. In short: this is top notch. I chose this one after reading a lot of reviews and YouTube videos, and this one often came out as the best. Can only confirm this: if you are looking for a bluetooth headset with ANC in this price category: do not hesitate any longer.
