Is it for you
Buy it if
- Music is the point, not just noise reduction
- You travel without reliable charging
- You want a parametric EQ rather than three presets
Skip it if
- You want the strongest cancellation available at any cost
- The plain, unstructured design puts you off
Sixty hours is not a rounding-up of thirty. It changes how you use headphones: you stop thinking about charging them between trips. Sennheiser also ships the most flexible EQ in this group, which is why the audio-forward crowd keeps landing here.
Cancellation is a step behind Sony and Bose rather than in a different league. The build is the weakest argument — plenty of plastic, and a design that reviewers politely call understated.
