HD 450SE Refurbished

Super quick delivery, they look great, all accessories enclosed, works well and sound great. So far so good for sure. Four stars as they have only been in use one day but optimistic as third Sennheiser purchase this year!

I was hoping the sounds quality would be a little better, Ill try and find a good equalizer setting, maybe that will help.

I’m coming from the AKG NC60. I wanted a noise cancelling headphone with easy controls. Sennheiser is not that. For $100, the refurbed HD 450SE (special edition) is hard to operate with its tiny buttons, awkward placement, and non-intuitive push/hold rules. I make a phone call, it lets ALL AMBIENT SOUND IN. Like, why do I need to listen to cars going by or my coworkers coughing while I’m trying to make a phone call?

The max volume is limiting. It’s built for Alexa, who I find far less cooperative than Siri. Lastly, there’s an app. Why does a headphone need an app. It’s fun to fool with the equalizer, but that’s not the root of what I needed from a wireless headphone experience. The overall sound is great, the experience is not.
