Apple AirPods Max vs Sennheiser HD 250BT

>The Apple AirPods Pro's bass accuracy is excellent. Thanks to their closed-back design, they don't have low-bass issues like the [Apple AirPods 1 Truly Wireless and [Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless 2019](https://www

Nice tight base without booming, good midrange and defined treble. Did not want active noise canceling phones so the 250 fit the bill. They do a good job of passive noise suppression, exactly what I wanted. Actually pretty small and light weight so they are comfortable to wear

But yeah, it's these, the AirPods Max, which are just very, very expensive headphones. In fact, they're double the price of most really good noise can...

Calls sound fine from the Sennheiser end. The bad: No noise cancellation, something that lesser brands specializing in BT are doing in this price range (Cowin, Bluedio, and JLab, none of whom are real competitors to Sennheiser's top line) Zero weather protection. No integration with voice assistants. Lower than "standard" battery life

The earcups create a good seal around your ear which I have had issues with when trying Beats and Bose. The sound quality is amazing, on par with Sony and Bose, very crisp even up to loud volume and these do get loud. In terms of comfort, theyre great. At first, they may seem a bit tight at first but you get used to it after a couple of hours

need exists for a headband cushion- soundstage well below the standard set by other Sennheiser products- sound is somewhat inferior to the MM100 head set, a much older and slightly more expensive product no longer being manufactured- Sennheiser has been and still is my favorite headphone maker, but this product is very disappointing.

You can search for hours online to find workarounds but half or more of what people suggest doesn’t work. Meanwhile Apple knows all of this and basically gives us the old high hat if we are willing to buy products that compel us to buy only their other products to make them work. Connecting instantly to my iPhone when picked up or put on rather than having to use a typical Bluetooth prompt to accept a connection is not worth enslaving myself just to show aluminum on my ears. I am boxing these up even though they arrived earlier today

I saw early this week that the HD 250 BT was on sale for $39.95 and gave it a try. It feels a bit flimsy but the sound is really great for my purposes - which is listening to audible books when I walk. My PX 100 II is now my backup - I use this set-up most of the time

First, whereas the headphones still fit like they were brand new, I'd hope for some relief on the hard clamping aspect present in them. When I first wore them, I was finding the clamping done by the headphones very tight and threatening to give me a headache if I wore them too long since it was like a vise on my head. This has lessened slightly over time, but it is still very tight. I don't know of a fix for this outside of constant wear to try and get them to bend a flex to a less tight shape on my dome, but so far they still hurt a bit when wearing them for an extended time

These look nice on paper, but after actually getting them didn't really like them. The ear foam design is right in between two different styles, they sit on the ear, but the foam style is an over the ear type, which to me didn't sit comfortably on my ears. They feel weird because of that. They sleek design I did like it overall, but not enough to keep them

Love how you can customize the ear pads and head pad. Great sound quality, works great with Apple devices and noise cancellation is awesome. The bad part is just the price.

Uncomfortable, cheap, and flimsy feeling headphones. The sound is average but for the price, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Neutral: - lots of people made a big deal about no power off button and talk about it just “draining battery” unless you put it in the case. I tested this a lot, and it seems Apple is accurate when they say it goes to low power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Losing about 1% every couple of hours. Essentially losing 5% when left without a case overnight

Battery life is good. But in terms of sound nothing special. A pair of wired $30 “hd” headphones from the same brand sound better. Add them to the heap of just ok headphones

I use these headphones for 30-45min/day jogging and walking. However, I have performed the following “routine” to minimize any possible damage. 1) Purchase AppleCare+. This allows customers to request two “accidental-damage” replacements every year for a $29 accident fee each time

From a visual standpoint, the black HD 250BT headphones have an understated cool about them. Sennheiser keeps things simple and functional, and the result is fairly stylish. The supra-aural (on-ear) cups manage to create a reliable seal against the outside world, with padding that may not feel plush, but is firm and helps prove a stable fit.
