Got these to replace my older model sennheiser headphones which were quite old and beloved! I expected similar build quality and audio quality out of these and was severely disappointed. Construction is cheap. Audio quality is... not great. There is an ever present hiss whether I use noise cancelling mode or not. Noise cancelling is barely noticeable. Battery lasts about 10 hours, no the advertised 50. I have to recharge them every other day and I don't even use them for that long.
Had these for about 5 months now. Fantastic at the beginning best headphones Ive ever purchased, but about 3 months in the anc messed up and the right ear cup started screeching, by then, my wife had bought the plus and hers did the same thing within 2 months. Now theres constant static in the right earcup that wont go away unless i disable the anc entirely.
I bought this set of headphones almost a month ago and absolutely love them. I had the HD 4.5 wireless headset that lasted me for 5 years before they finally fully broke. And needed an update. And these work fantastically as such. The only difference is that they don't have a side button that let's you scroll up and down between songs which the 4.5 had. But other than that love it!
Regret this purchase. Software experience is atrocious. Replacement ear pads are seemingly impossible to come by in the US and the EU. I had an pxc 550 before, and these are my last Sennheiser ever.
Just two caveats that can be fixed through updates

Christmas gift from my dad who is a longtime Sennheiser user. These headphones follow the diffused compensation downslope signature better than the Harman target, which is an objectively good thing. An objectively more natural signature will sound “natural” relative to any unique hearing profile, thereby avoiding hearing damage. These headphones are a good step towards this, especially with the added assistance with the EQ. Only thing I see lacking in the EQ is that I’d much rather have there be a “professional” mode where I can see the lines and frequencies I’m adjusting on levels greater than just 6 to -6db.
Probably the only physical caveat to these headphones that can be fixed through firmware updates is that they don’t quite get loud enough, especially with the bass boost activated. I also noticed many volume inconsistencies between tracks and genres, to which I believe can also be fixed through firmware updates.
Otherwise, these budget headphones are going to be my most glad daily drivers until the next best thing comes out.
