HDB 630

yeah...i was quite excited when those came out. Would certainly consider them IF I was still traveling for work on a regular basis. I'm quite happy with the audio money pit I'm currently in😂😂😂Really does sound like they hit a homerun with that headphone.

Great review. Just got mine and so far it’s been awesome. Sennheiser deserves recognition for releasing an outstanding product without the crazy high-end price of its competitors.

So, I'll start with the microphone limitations of Bluetooth. Bluetooth Classic does indeed have a major limitation here. In order to use the microphone, the audio device needs to switch from A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) to HSP (headset profile) or HFP (hands-free profile), both of which will limit the playback audio to mono with a sampling rate of either 8 kHz or 16 kHz. Bluetooth LE audio is able to get around this, but implementation of it has not been quick (not surprising). With that said, since you need to be able to take calls, I'd try to find something that supports LE audio, or better yet, just includes a matching dongle. You could even get a dual mode gaming headset that uses a proprietary 2.4 GHz dongle and Bluetooth to switch between 2 devices. There are even business headphones designed for this, like the [Logitech Zone series](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/business/headsets.html) or the [Poly Voyager range](https://www.hp.com/us-en/poly/headsets.html#section=explore-all-headsets&filters_explore-all-headsets=product_type-bluetooth) (especially the [Voyager Surround Series](https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/sitesearch?facet_subbrand=Voyager&keyword=Surround&jumpid=ma_hpcom_poly_bluetooth-headsets-and-earbuds_voyager-surround)). Personally, I'd recommend the [Sennheiser HDB 630](https://us.sennheiser-hearing.com/products/hdb-630). These are some of the best sounding Bluetooth headphones on the market and include a dongle with support for features like high quality playback when using the microphone and a 30 ms low latency mode.

Understood! I'd still stick with my recommendation for the HDB 630. It's obviously pricey for a Bluetooth headphone, but it's a great product that meets your needs.

I bought the Wicked Cushions as well, but the sound quality degrades so massively, I took them off again. I would never be able to master the EQ to a degree to get the original sound quality back, unless I had two pairs to HDB 360 to constantly switch and compare head-to-head and even then it would probably take me countless hours of trial and error.

The bass is very flat, the app even has a "Bass Boost" option and even when you enable that, there is zero punch whatsoever. I still think they sound amazing, though, even when I listen to pop or hip hop (rarely).

I have played Ghost of Yotei on the PS5. In normal mode it is basically unplayable due to latency and in gaming mode it is still noticeable, but playable.

If you claim that these are comfortable, there is no way that you have "large ears". I have medium ears (I assume) and they don't fit into the cups and as a result I get slight pain from wearing them after about 15 minutes and during a long session I *constantly* have to adjust them to relief the pressure on my ears.

Correct, I tried them and returned them. They are not bad for being over BT Anc headphones, but they are an overall mediocre piece of equipment that is overpriced

Well I had the open version of the atrium and never had an issue with the treble. I am very treble sensitive and HDB630 also was too bright pre-eq. Probably the closed version is brighter? I am not surprised at all, as far as I know the atrium closed is not generally very well regarded

Do not agree, ANC for HDB630 is a bit better than Momentum 4.

The best for sound quality hands down is the sennheiser hbd630. The eq and neutral sound signature really put it a cut above any other wireless on the market

I'm gonna level with you, there aren't a lot of options. The sennheiser hbd630 is the only real pick but it's way out of your price range. If you want, look into the hifiman Amanda BT, or Arya WiFi as they both have sharp treble like your beyers. Another option might be the Maxwell from audeze. And if you want to spend less money, there are wireless let's made by audiophile brands like the fiio eh13 and eh 11.
