Are the Sennheiser HDB 630s worth the $999 AUD price tag? We’ve put them to the test, and the short answer is: Yes, if you are chasing the best possible wireless sound.

These aren't just premium consumer headphones; they are proper audiophile gear cut for travel. We were impressed by the 24-bit playback and the BTD 700 adapter, but the real standout is the native app. It features a 5-band parametric EQ, a level of control we rarely see in this category.

Throw in 60 hours of battery and the lig

00:00These might be the best sounding wireless audiophile headphones with ANC that money can buy,
00:05but are the Sennheiser HDB630s worth it? The Sennheiser HDB630s are true audiophile headphones
00:12designed to deliver high fidelity audio on the go. They achieve this with 24 bit 96 kilohertz
00:18playback, 42 millimeter drivers, Bluetooth 5.2 APTX adaptive, and offer 60 hours of battery life.
00:26Another thing that I need to mention here quickly is just how comfortable and lightweight these
00:30headphones are. They leverage the time-tested momentum frame, and that means they bring
00:34all-day comfort. You don't want something that's too heavy sitting on top of your head. With this
00:38level of adjustability and this optimized clamping force, it brings a comfortable fit and secure fit
00:44for every head type. Another call out here is that high-quality protein leatherette headband that feels
00:49really nice on top of your head. The secret to the best wireless sound quality is the BTD700
00:55Bluetooth adapter. It sticks into the bottom of your phone or your computer with the USB-C.
01:00And when you want to go full 24 bit 96 kilohertz, then you can use this USB-C connector and
01:06just plug
01:07them straight in. But let's talk sound for a second because that's why these things exist. Out of the
01:13box, they're really clean and neutral, but with the Sound Control Plus app, Sennheiser's native app,
01:19you can actually adjust with a five-band parametric EQ, and that's something that I've never seen in a
01:25consumer-level headphone. The mids are also really clear, and you start to get an appreciation for
01:30what you've been missing out on this whole time. So to answer the question, is it worth spending
01:35basically a thousand dollars on these headphones? Well, the answer is yes, if you want the best sound
01:41quality.
