Forgot to mention that these headphones are compatible with Sennheiser's Captune app which can be found on the Apple Store and the Google Play store. This allows you to have many EQ settings and you can change these to sound however you like. Although I preferred the sound right out of the box
I bought JBL e55BT It sucks so bad Trust me do NOT BUY.... NO bass present at all.. You need to hold it in like as if pressing in your ears to get that Bass.. Seinheiser hd4.40 BT going to get now
NITIN DANIEL I bought the Sennheiser and I really like it. I am not a bass head so maybe if you're one you could find it lacking some bass but for me I like when everything is present. I found it uncomfortable at first until I watched a two hour continuous movie without stopping which made it better. It's quality is good better than you'd see in videos. Great sound. When I go back to my old headphones I feel the huge difference
So which seinnheiser u buy ?? If u bought mine which is hd4.40 BT its good i mean really good but the only problem is that when u go in trains or travel it doesnt have noise cancellation (higher version has in 4.50 ) Hence youd suffer to hear that little thump or bass at all. My mistake i think i should have gone for skull candy crusher as tthat has enormous BASSsSS.
My 15 year old Technics DJ1210's had the left ear piece die on me the other day. May the rest in peace. Bought a pair of these to replace them and I am loving them.
Thanks for the review. I tried them today together with 4.50 and the SONY MDR1000X. (just for my curiosity). 4.40 blew BOTH of them away. The Sony is indeed amazing when it comes to NC, but the music is meh. Now between the 4.40 and 4.50, I was expecting similar sound signature and was very surprised. 4.50 is like my HD 600 (Sennheiser), a bit dark and laid back. The 4.40 is more 'alive' and seems to have better separation. Given it is also cheaper, it is a no brainer for me.
Dude are you sure that they sound better than sony mdr1000x ? Your phone is not an iphone then , because these headphones only support aptx codec which is on android and not aac codec in iphones . I have iphone 8 plus and these headphones don't sound so good with it but it sounds good with my sister's s8 . On the other hand sony headphones support aac and aptx so they sound very good on any phone :)
Awesome review, thanks for going into detail about every aspect! I got my pair a week ago and I love the sound. I will say though that the beeping when you do anything is a bit much. I use them on my iPhone XS, and even going to the recently opened screen they beep. Every level in volume they increase or decrease they beep. If a video stops, starts, or buffers they beep. That’s the one thing from making these perfect, but overall very good headphones

You convinced me to keep mine, you're right, for certain types of music the bass in the 4.40's is great. Perfect balance for Jazz and Hip-hop. Prior to this model, my favorites where the Bose QC25 and (the ones I use the most) the Sennheiser 598c. I think the Sennheiser BT 4.40 is going to be a great addition (and my only wireless) to my headphone collection. I also use the Astro A50's, but that's only for gaming, I wanted a wireless set for everyday music and movie listening.
they are good for jazz? I really wanted to know that. I mostly listen to fusion/prog not eletronic stuff so the soung might be different. if you got any insight on sound quality of these would be great.
went into my local currys store today as wanted a new set of cans, tried around 6 pairs of headphones including the skullcandy crushers (I HATED them) and hesh 3 (hated them as well lol) and ended up walking out with these...at first I thought maybe these had a little too much bass for Sennheiser headphones but after trying skrillex, beastie boys (shes crafty) and a few other songs I started to really LOVE the sound, the 4.40s DO have quite a bit of bass but its not muddy and the music I tried all sounded great, the 2 skullcandy headphones I tried sounded like a muffled mess compared to these (well to my ears anyway) the sound with these is pleasing overall and they have great soundstage, the bass on the bestie boys track (shes crafty) sounds punchy as hell with these without a hint of being overpowering or muffled, I think I prefer my old Sennheiser momentum headphones for overall sound but they cost A LOT more money, for the price, I don't think you can beat these headphones
Great review man, detailed and descriptive and covered everything without rushing it. Informative AF. Definitely pushed me over the edge in order to buy them as a gift as I own the 4.30
Had mine delivered yesterday and so far I'm incredibly impressed and I'm not easily wowed. Went though a pair of Audio Technica, JBL, Bose and Bluedio in the last two weeks trying to find something that clicked with me and was perfect for my needs
i am picky as well and like you it is hard for me to be happy without nitpicking. i have to say, for the price of these they are great....and very hard to beat
perfect way of reviewing these type of products, even though the company didn't put all the details about the item them self, you got to bring them up your self. Good detail you got out of it by trying them your self.
Dude, you are by far the best reviewer on UA-cam! Every headphone you get and review as good I want them lmao, I am currently using Skullcandy Crusher Wireless and your review sealed the deal on me getting them. By far the best headphones I own at the moment. And I am building quite the collection so far haha. I do have a question though. Considering the price tag of the Crusher Wireless, I'm always wary of bringing them to school or most places with me. My favourite music genre is dubstep so you can guess I love bass, like a lot, so the question is, what headphones would you recommend that have good bass, but have a relatively cheap price tag? Keep up the good work!
thanks so much. good to know someone else share the same headphone addiction that I have. you can find the original wired Crusher pretty cheap on eBay (usually under $35) or the Sennheiser 4.30 have incredible bass for $99. if you want wireless you can find the Sony MDRXB650BT and the 950BT pretty cheap on eBay as well
@TheRazorStyle Ikr? Same for me except one of his first reviews that I watched from him (which got me into his channel) was his take on the Sony XB950BTs, and he helped me to make my decision on getting those.
Just purchased a day ago. Simply awesome at price of $83 in India. Cant expect this quality in any other popular brand. By the way, after connecting the 3.5mm audio jack, it sounds more clear and bass heavy than wireless mode. Locking mechanism like audio technica. Impressive.
I have V-Moda Bluetooth headphones and they sound Great. I tested out a sen headphones that were the best sounding headphones I've ever heard but I don't think they were Bluetooth. They were around $550 bucks or $600 a year ago. I needed blu tooth so I went with v mods and they have been amazing.
You should check out the alpine sv-h300uw headphones, I just got these and they are incredible! Definitely my new favorite for bass especially! It's amazing what they've done
Gamesky yeah they are great honestly the best headphones I've tried for the price right now. Honestly since you're a basshead too I think they'll be your new favorite. I was blown away by them
@@MauricioHernandezVeg I dont know for sure.. normally they would be in my hands but there is some delay since coronovirus and stuff.. 😊 lets hope they would arrive soon
Great review! Picking up a pair of these tomorrow, as they're currently on sale for $99 and I really don't like the bass performance of my current MDR-1000X's.
Great review Gamesky! I have been looking for a great pair of headphones for under $200 for the past week now and its nice to see someone covering all of the bases in a review! When is the 4.50 BT review coming?
I bought these a couple of weeks ago and wasn't impressed in the least. The mids are a bit muffled, the highs get tinny when I increase the volume, the bass is alright but gets muddy when I try to crank it up. Overall, to me it sounds similar to the Sony xb950bt at medium volume but without the powerful bass. When a lot of instruments start playing at the same time it's a jumbled mess. The holes on the earpads are tiny (2 knuckles wide) and I have to squish my ears in there even though I don't even have big ears, which results in my getting ear fatigue after wearing them for a while.
This is exactly how i felt when i heard hd 4.40. Did not like it at all. Very muddy sound. Hoping that these should be faulty items because i have ordered HD 4.50. I did not like the comfort. They are hurting around my ears. sony xb950 were slightly better in sound and a lot more in comfort. Just hoping that HD 4.50 doesn't have this issues.
@sann jay Yeah, I've decided to put mine up for sale. Gonna wait for the 950n1 (950bt with anc) and see how it is. Or else I'll just grit my teeth and shell out extra for B&W P7 wireless.
And I've just bought the HD4.40 BT NC Headphones from Amazon and boy, what a purchase it was. They're GREAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU CONSIDER THE PRICE I PAID. UNDER £85.00. hmmmm.
I remember buying these awhile ago, and after 4hrs of listening I packed them right back up and sent them back. Weren’t the Sennheiser quality I’ve known them for.
Agreed. Also you forgot to add how uncomfortable these are for longer listening periods. I’m talking literally over 30mins and your ears start to bleed cos of the clamping force and supposedly “over ear” but for most on ear design
I got them as a birthday prezzie! They are my daily driver now!~ Good Bass with clean mid ftw! The down side of it could be warm on the ear during prolong use.
now its worth the wait. 😊 i almost decided to get the skull's crusher, big thanks to my man 'gamesky' happy subscriber here 🙏 just uploaded an hour or two. Wow good things happen when you have patience 😀 hands down to sennheiser, really pushing their cans on competition. I hope you can send me one those 🙌 but i know how u love those. Anyways great vids 👍 congrats...
thanks. these definitely give all the other bluetooth bass headphones a run for their money. to have the bass these have and the clarity and only be $150....it's crazy
Seen them on Amazon recommended and i was kind of surprised that this had no thumps up for what it delivers. I've got sennheiser urbanite xl wireless and i love them but believe it or not, i have the tendency to go for sennheiser every time i decide to buy an earbud or headset. Sennheiser is just perfect and if you can review my favorite headphone which Sennheiser urbanite xl that would be awesome. Keep the good work. 👌👌👌👏👏👏
I have definitely got to where I lean towards Sennheiser as well. They keep putting out great products and just like these.....they are not trying to charge and arm and a leg. I may do a review of the Urbanite XL wireless one day
Good review. Please try the bluedio vinyl plus. It's simply the best sounding Bluetooth headphone ever. I've tried many headphones from vmoda m 100, denon ad2000, Fidelio x1, beats solo 2, Nad Viso Hp50, etc.
thanks. i absolutely love these headphones and highly recommend them. I am still waiting on my 4.50 to come in but the 4.40 are going to be heard to beat
Please compare these with skullcandy wireless and do sound tests with music and movies. it would be amazing as I'm trying to decide what ones to get. keep up the awesome reviews 😊
great review man. I just have a request. is it possible for you to do a audio test/bass test of the HD 4.40? i am considering these headphones and i have seen practically all videos on these and i get alot of mixed responses from different reviewers and i just want to actually have a sense of what they sound like because I've read people say they dont have bass, people say they dont get loud, people say the volume dont get low enough which honestly doesnt make any sense to me, some even said the bass response is not good for rap and hip-hop genres. if you csn clear the air for me and potentially many other viewers that would be much appreciated.
Try them in store. There is plenty of bass and I listen mainly to bass heavy hip-hop and these are perfect tried in store and ordered online that same day.
Thanks for great video and advice ! Please, ( sorry for disturbing you ) how is clarity and strong in bluetooth phone calls, for the both side ? Is it mic strong enough ? Please answer if you want, I need your advice and opinion. Best regards and wishes and thanks ! 🍺🏆👍
I don’t know if mines broken or sth. THERE IS NO BASS. it’s trebly af and it’s making squeaky kinda noise whenever there is a high audio idk what that is called. I am so bummed. I can’t even return it since I ordered it online from another country 😭😭😭😭
these headphones are an absolute steal for the price. i couldn't believe there's not much info on them out there. i guess because they aren't marketed like other brands but damn are these things amazing
Great review! I like the price compared to the Bose equivalents. Would be nice to have BT headphones that put out great sound just for listening to music with. Do they come with a BT transmitter or do you have to get one separately? The point about canceling out almost all the noise without getting actual noise canceling is even better.
Yo Gamesky your review is awesome. I think I'm getting these first before the crushers. With your recommendation I got my parrot zik today & they are awesome. I got em for a ridiculous price because they don't work to well wired but flawless Bluetooth. The other thing is it didn't come with the battery cover. I've been looking every where for em to no avail. If you or anybody you know or anyone out there have a battery cover I'll gladly pay for em thanks!
greg cabig i will keep an eye out for a cover. the Parrot Ziks are amazing. especially for what you can find them for. these Sennheisers are hard to beat as well. I'm having the 4.50 shipped to me next.
Have u compared to the JBL Live 500s? I am seriously on the fence n the only thing preventing me frm shooting on the Sennheisers is the build quality... 😭🤦🏽♂️
I'm curious. You've been doing a ton of headphone reviews now, and I'm curious how you rank these headphones now compared to when you reviewed them. Just curious.
Hi, great review as always. I'm close to buying my own bluetooth headset and I'm down to the Sennheiser 4.40BT and the Sony MDR950BT. Any thoughts on the two? Also, what can you say about the Sony 650BT? Thanks, ang keep up the good job.
don't give a shit if it's real/authentic or artificial or haptic bass or not...the skullcandy crushers wireless are still my fav bass headphones... they are the most fun headphones ever for me
How to activate siri when I pair them up with my iPhone. I can't find any instruction on the manual about that. I wish I could interact with my phone while wearing it Please help!! Thank you!!!
Great videos keep it up!!! Everyone on youtube always raves about the sony bt950 and new sony 950n1. I finally decided to give the bt950 a try and was extremely disappointed! Do these Sennheiser have a similar sound to the sony? I felt like the sony were too muddy, no clarity or separation. I'm a big a fan of the Sennheiser sound I currently own the hd650, hd598 and the ie80 to give you and idea of my sound taste.
You seem to be really biased towards liking everything about these because of how you loved the 4.30. As I own them as well I think there are definitely better headphones for the price right now. You also didnt mention how the earcups are skinny as hell and those with bigger ears will find them uncomfortable after a while. Im glad youre very passionate about them but you need to be giving accurate reviews if you're a review channel.
I previously bought a pair of Over Ear Sennheiser Momentum 1.0s. I was wondering if the inside of the earcup is bigger on the 4.40s? The momentum over ears felt more like an on-ear headphone and I don't want that experience again.
Bradley Chiduku I'm taking back the crushers wireless tomorrow. The bass sounds trash and artificial. Not authentic bass. The springs inside the headphones are annoying. I'm very disappointed i bought them due to his recommendation as well
Kyle Craven that's what I heard someone say. I don't know how true that is. Hope Gamesky can shed some light on that one. Still hear a lot of good things about them tho
edrei pratt apparently the bass is really good. My only issue is the lag I've heard about. But sound wise I've heard some great things about the Crusher wireless.
these are better than the Crusher wireless in overall sound. they don't have the rattle your head bass that the Crusher has but they do have better mids and treble. I never noticed any lag with my Crushers so I am not sure about that.
Hey Gamesky. I love to play video games and listen to alot of rock/metal. With these also having a cord with a 3.5 jack that should be able to be used for gaming on xbox one x right ?? If so I think these are perfect.
Great review. I'm going to try these. I been begging every reviewer to compare the Sony xb950bt and the h.ear on in long term comfort and sound quality. One question : The long term comfort is great? Is it close to long term comfort with the Bose?
Thanks for the review. Currently I own Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 - Wired. I'd like to 'upgrade' to Wireless. Are these a good choice ? I'll be more than happy if Sound quality of these cans remains close to that of Momentum 2.0. Please advise (I'd like to remain loyal to Sennheiser) !
Gamesky Thanks for the reply. Since Momentum 2.0 Wired costs more than Wireless HD 4.40, I was worried if I've to settle for a lower overall Sound quality with HD4.40. All I'm looking for is a headphone whose sound quality in 'wired' mode is comparable to that of Momentum 2.0 with an added bonus of Wireless capability. It looks like HD4.40 meets my requirements!
I ordered these headphones after watching some reviews. when i received them, i tried them on for about 5 mins max, put them back in the box and sent them back. Pretty much every point concerning the sound in your review has been false in my experience, they sound horrible. Treble and mids are pretty much the same quality you get on your phone speaker, harsh and thin. There's no sub-bass whatsoever and the bass is soooo damn loose, it feels almost like they added reverb to it. There's no imaging, even worse than audio-technica M50x's ( no hate, i own a pair and i use them exclusively for playing music and mixing and i love them for that reason) there's so little imaging i had to verify i was plugged in correctly in case they were playing in mono. Other than sound, everything feels cheap from the buttons to the voice prompts. i had better quality for way less money. After getting my money back, i ordered Soundcore's Liberty 2 pro for when i want wireless and i went for Beyerdynamic's DT770 pro for casual music listening which pair perfectly with my m50x. It's simple, Fuck these cans cause they sound exactly like ''cans'' and your ears deserve better. If i can recommend a better option, go for Kz's zs10 pro, they will shatter your teeth and blow your mind for the price and while you're at it add a USB-C DAC, thank me later.
Hi, great review! Could you please review the Bohm B76 Active noise canceling, I am hesitating to get them but did not find a lot of reviews yet. Thanks in advance!!
You can now get these for 80 bucks and they are just ok no bass at all. They are pretty comfy. My wife uses them at the gym. You want bass you want the bluedio ufo2s, or just buy the sony m3s if you want to lay out 300 bucks
Fantastic review. You read my mind and just talked the way how i want to listen about these headphones. I was a user of bose QC35. I like the comfort and noise canceling of them but they are not at all fun to listen. I got rid of them and planning for a good noise canceling headphone. Later I came across HD4.5. As they are not yet released, I was waiting for your review of HD 4.4. I know they would sound great in clarity and bass. All I'm worried about is the sound stage. I tried MDR xb950 and very much disappointed with clarity and soundstage. So how do these perform in soundstage? You haven't mentioned anything about the mic for taking calls too. Please let me know about these two.
The mic for taking calls is really good on these and you have nothing to worry about with soundstage either. Sennheiser for some reason knows how to make a closed back headphone that has plenty of space and gives really good separation in the sound. now these are not like their more studio monitor type headphones and with everything being amplified it is more in your face than those....but I think that is what makes them great. You can also use Sennheiser's app and control the sound to get it exactly the way you want
I have a hard time choosing between Sennheiser 4.40BT or the Sony xb950b1 any advice? Also the skullcandy crusher wireless but with the skullcandy crusher I have the feeling the sound quality is not balanced.
Can you use these as a gaming headset? The mic on my 4.40 doesnt work while gaming for some reason.. Also the power button has the worst quality ever, it gets stuck all the time.
Forgot to mention that these headphones are compatible with Sennheiser's Captune app which can be found on the Apple Store and the Google Play store. This allows you to have many EQ settings and you can change these to sound however you like. Although I preferred the sound right out of the box
Bro are these better than jbl e55bt?
Yea someone answer that question better than jbl e55 someone's gonna buy this week so I need a quick answer...
I bought JBL e55BT It sucks so bad Trust me do NOT BUY.... NO bass present at all.. You need to hold it in like as if pressing in your ears to get that Bass.. Seinheiser hd4.40 BT going to get now

Bought a pair of these to replace them and I am loving them.
They're as old as me xd
woah i was 7 when you bought
Adam Lockington That’s a really long life for a pair of headphones
How the hell u using soin that old
Finally a good review - thanks for being honest about it's not worth paying the extra for the NC in the 4.50s
Thanks for the review. I tried them today together with 4.50 and the SONY MDR1000X. (just for my curiosity). 4.40 blew BOTH of them away. The Sony is indeed amazing when it comes to NC, but the music is meh.

Tim completely agree with your assessment
I dont' know which headphones I should chose - 4.40 or 4.50. Is NC in 4.50 making a difference?
Please suggest, in between 4.40 or 4.50 btnc or Sony xb650bt ?
Please
How about gaming with these headphones?
Dude are you sure that they sound better than sony mdr1000x ? Your phone is not an iphone then , because these headphones only support aptx codec which is on android and not aac codec in iphones . I have iphone 8 plus and these headphones don't sound so good with it but it sounds good with my sister's s8 . On the other hand sony headphones support aac and aptx so they sound very good on any phone :)
Awesome review, thanks for going into detail about every aspect! I got my pair a week ago and I love the sound. I will say though that the beeping when you do anything is a bit much. I use them on my iPhone XS, and even going to the recently opened screen they beep. Every level in volume they increase or decrease they beep. If a video stops, starts, or buffers they beep. That’s the one thing from making these perfect, but overall very good headphones
please don't forget to review the HD 4.50 BTNC as soon as you can!. loving your reviews and i'm very interested on those cans. Cheers!
thanks. they are already on the way
Gamesky Would you rate these headphones higher than the Sony extra bass 950s?

beebop shopbop can you tell me which V-Moda model you went for?
i have a pair of sennheiser hd 400s headphones, and they work great, but they are wired only, so i think i will buy these and use the 400s as a backup
That's so cool that they made them wireless and for a decent price! I can't wait to try these someday!
You should check out the alpine sv-h300uw headphones, I just got these and they are incredible! Definitely my new favorite for bass especially! It's amazing what they've done
I have heard those are great. Especially when using the app. From what I hear they are an absolute steal for what you can get them for now
Gamesky yeah they are great honestly the best headphones I've tried for the price right now. Honestly since you're a basshead too I think they'll be your new favorite. I was blown away by them
Best HD 4.40 review, I'm going for them, thank you!
Did they came? How are they? Im waiting for the too ✌✌😊
@@astronaut205 they are arriving next tuesday! I can't wait to wear them all the day long
@@MauricioHernandezVeg 👍👍👍hope you enjoy them bro - wait them too
@@astronaut205 thank you! When are arriving yours?
@@MauricioHernandezVeg I dont know for sure.. normally they would be in my hands but there is some delay since coronovirus and stuff.. 😊 lets hope they would arrive soon
Great review! Picking up a pair of these tomorrow, as they're currently on sale for $99 and I really don't like the bass performance of my current MDR-1000X's.
Is the bass good? I want to buy a headphones for watching movie.
Can't wait for you to review the 4.5 since I'm in the market new headphones and I need to know which are better! Btw great vid!
Great review Gamesky! I have been looking for a great pair of headphones for under $200 for the past week now and its nice to see someone covering all of the bases in a review! When is the 4.50 BT review coming?
+Benjamin Shaw thanks, should be this week
I bought these a couple of weeks ago and wasn't impressed in the least. The mids are a bit muffled, the highs get tinny when I increase the volume, the bass is alright but gets muddy when I try to crank it up. Overall, to me it sounds similar to the Sony xb950bt at medium volume but without the powerful bass. When a lot of instruments start playing at the same time it's a jumbled mess. The holes on the earpads are tiny (2 knuckles wide) and I have to squish my ears in there even though I don't even have big ears, which results in my getting ear fatigue after wearing them for a while.
+Threx everybody has different experiences and taste. I didn't feel they were muffled at all and they were much better than the 950BT to me
This is exactly how i felt when i heard hd 4.40. Did not like it at all. Very muddy sound. Hoping that these should be faulty items because i have ordered HD 4.50. I did not like the comfort. They are hurting around my ears. sony xb950 were slightly better in sound and a lot more in comfort. Just hoping that HD 4.50 doesn't have this issues.
@sann jay Yeah, I've decided to put mine up for sale. Gonna wait for the 950n1 (950bt with anc) and see how it is. Or else I'll just grit my teeth and shell out extra for B&W P7 wireless.
did you download Sennheiser's Captune app which lets you eq the headphones and make a ton of other adjustments?

And I've just bought the HD4.40 BT NC Headphones from Amazon and boy, what a purchase it was. They're GREAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU CONSIDER THE PRICE I PAID. UNDER £85.00. hmmmm.
I remember buying these awhile ago, and after 4hrs of listening I packed them right back up and sent them back. Weren’t the Sennheiser quality I’ve known them for.
Corey Hole Music hey sir, I'd like to hear the reasons that made ya back them
Just bought this a couple of days ago. If your a basshead, don't get this. You can hear the bass but barely feel it.
(sorry for my english, i'm french) I never buy headphones before. Do you think these are good materials? Does it last in time?
@@Maxime.26 my friend buy the sony mdr xb650 bt u will love that.😍
Yeah I found that out I mistakenly purchased these instead of the 4.30 but it'll do for now. I'll just make sure to buy the right ones.
Agreed. Also you forgot to add how uncomfortable these are for longer listening periods. I’m talking literally over 30mins and your ears start to bleed cos of the clamping force and supposedly “over ear” but for most on ear design
a bit late, but in wired mode with just the phone equalizer you can turn up the bass, then they are actually amazing
Finally a proper review of HD4.40! Awesome review man. Can you say how good does this stays on head?
+Prethibe Biswas thanks, it stays on very well. I could recommend them even for working oit
as always, great video! wow this headphones are really awesome! I guess they are my next goal.
thanks, they are definitely worth it
I got them as a birthday prezzie! They are my daily driver now!~ Good Bass with clean mid ftw! The down side of it could be warm on the ear during prolong use.
Shareen Jaini I can see that but damn they sound great. nice gift
now its worth the wait. 😊 i almost decided to get the skull's crusher, big thanks to my man 'gamesky' happy subscriber here 🙏 just uploaded an hour or two. Wow good things happen when you have patience 😀 hands down to sennheiser, really pushing their cans on competition. I hope you can send me one those 🙌 but i know how u love those. Anyways great vids 👍 congrats...
Junve Astronomo hmm I don't know what ones to get 😂 was about to buy them next week
Kyle Craven 👍 goodluck.
thanks. these definitely give all the other bluetooth bass headphones a run for their money. to have the bass these have and the clarity and only be $150....it's crazy
Seen them on Amazon recommended and i was kind of surprised that this had no thumps up for what it delivers. I've got sennheiser urbanite xl wireless and i love them but believe it or not, i have the tendency to go for sennheiser every time i decide to buy an earbud or headset. Sennheiser is just perfect and if you can review my favorite headphone which Sennheiser urbanite xl that would be awesome. Keep the good work. 👌👌👌👏👏👏
I have definitely got to where I lean towards Sennheiser as well. They keep putting out great products and just like these.....they are not trying to charge and arm and a leg. I may do a review of the Urbanite XL wireless one day
Good review. Please try the bluedio vinyl plus. It's simply the best sounding Bluetooth headphone ever.
I've tried many headphones from vmoda m 100, denon ad2000, Fidelio x1, beats solo 2, Nad Viso Hp50, etc.
Great review! I was looking for a good one and could not find it anywhere and kind of made up my mind already about taking these ones instead 4.50.
thanks. i absolutely love these headphones and highly recommend them. I am still waiting on my 4.50 to come in but the 4.40 are going to be heard to beat
Gamesky ooh the suspense! I know the 4.40 ones aren't noise cancelling but do they isolate a little?
hartstikkezo they isolate a lot. I'm not sure how much better the 4.50 can block out noise
Please compare these with skullcandy wireless and do sound tests with music and movies. it would be amazing as I'm trying to decide what ones to get. keep up the awesome reviews 😊
I just may do that and thanks for the kind words
Hey Gamesky .! Awesome review man ....I love heavy bass but with crisp vocals and highs ...should I get these or the crusher wireless..?
What would you pick between Sennheiser 4.40BT - SONY CH700N - JBL E55BT.
Which of these 3 would you recommend?
I'm confused too 😉
@@tarunrathiak47 In the end I went with the Sony, I am using them outdoors and in the office and the ANC was important.
@@victorvarbanov9488 thnks bro
My first bt headphones. I like them so far for game and movies
good review mate thanks, going to consider these for my new travel set of cans
Hunter_Scars would be an excellent choice. I have the new 4.50bt coming in which has noise cancelling so you might want to wait for that review
Gamesky thanks mate will have to check it out
Just bought them for $90 usd on Amazon Mx! Thanks for the review
Thanks for this review. I am sold!
I just bought then online can't wait for them to arrive
got two sets of these and the plastic broke in the same place on both pairs glued them back together
great review man. I just have a request. is it possible for you to do a audio test/bass test of the HD 4.40? i am considering these headphones and i have seen practically all videos on these and i get alot of mixed responses from different reviewers and i just want to actually have a sense of what they sound like because I've read people say they dont have bass, people say they dont get loud, people say the volume dont get low enough which honestly doesnt make any sense to me, some even said the bass response is not good for rap and hip-hop genres. if you csn clear the air for me and potentially many other viewers that would be much appreciated.
Try them in store. There is plenty of bass and I listen mainly to bass heavy hip-hop and these are perfect tried in store and ordered online that same day.
Absolutely love mine! Nice review.
Thanks for great video and advice !
Please, ( sorry for disturbing you ) how is clarity and strong in bluetooth phone calls, for the both side ? Is it mic strong enough ?
Please answer if you want, I need your advice and opinion.
Best regards and wishes and thanks ! 🍺🏆👍
I don’t know if mines broken or sth. THERE IS NO BASS. it’s trebly af and it’s making squeaky kinda noise whenever there is a high audio idk what that is called. I am so bummed. I can’t even return it since I ordered it online from another country 😭😭😭😭
thank god I was looking for a review of these pair of headphones
these headphones are an absolute steal for the price. i couldn't believe there's not much info on them out there. i guess because they aren't marketed like other brands but damn are these things amazing
Great review and love your videos!! I bought Hyperx headset bc of your review and now I ordered these bad boys.
+Allen Sithivong thanks, you won't be disappointed
Gamesky I just received them and am listening to this video with them on lol. I also got them for $100 from Bestbuy!!
Allen Sithivong hard to beat for $100
Great review! I like the price compared to the Bose equivalents. Would be nice to have BT headphones that put out great sound just for listening to music with. Do they come with a BT transmitter or do you have to get one separately? The point about canceling out almost all the noise without getting actual noise canceling is even better.
+Vinyl 2CD Rescue they don't come with an external transmitter. They do have a Bluetooth radio built in
great review man, I was a bit bored since u had no new Vids lately
Anthony Martinez haha....Nothing to worry about. Been busy and was out of town. Plenty of stuff coming up
Gamesky I'm really looking forward to it
Hey gamesky you forgot to mention that these are of the very few headphones that "only" support aptx codec . It sound worse on iphones
Yo Gamesky your review is awesome. I think I'm getting these first before the crushers. With your recommendation I got my parrot zik today & they are awesome. I got em for a ridiculous price because they don't work to well wired but flawless Bluetooth. The other thing is it didn't come with the battery cover. I've been looking every where for em to no avail. If you or anybody you know or anyone out there have a battery cover I'll gladly pay for em thanks!
greg cabig i will keep an eye out for a cover. the Parrot Ziks are amazing. especially for what you can find them for.
these Sennheisers are hard to beat as well. I'm having the 4.50 shipped to me next.
Thank you so much Gamesky!
Are these good for gaming?
I listen to a lot of music everyday and play a ton of video games and I want only one headset. So is this good?
Just bought these they are freaking amazing especially the app for the headphones it's amazing
yep they are great headphones, I think they sound better in wireless mode which is very strange lol I love them though, great punchy bass
@@lukeurry1628 I agree I didn't like the wire mode and it works so good with dolby atoms on my Samsung s9 great sound
Can I do gaming with these headphones?
Have u compared to the JBL Live 500s? I am seriously on the fence n the only thing preventing me frm shooting on the Sennheisers is the build quality... 😭🤦🏽♂️
I'm curious. You've been doing a ton of headphone reviews now, and I'm curious how you rank these headphones now compared to when you reviewed them. Just curious.
Do you think you could wear these on runs?
I have a Momentum (first one)... will my ears like this?! (considering the price difference & also being wireless)
Hi, great review as always. I'm close to buying my own bluetooth headset and I'm down to the Sennheiser 4.40BT and the Sony MDR950BT. Any thoughts on the two? Also, what can you say about the Sony 650BT? Thanks, ang keep up the good job.
don't give a shit if it's real/authentic or artificial or haptic bass or not...the skullcandy crushers wireless are still my fav bass headphones... they are the most fun headphones ever for me
Really good review.... Could not have been more precise
+Teagan Turner thanks so much
Plz plz plz a comparison video bw. Sennhiser 4.40bt and jbl live 500bt
Do they work with PC wirelessly? Can’t see any wireless receiver in a box?
How to activate siri when I pair them up with my iPhone.
I can't find any instruction on the manual about that.
I wish I could interact with my phone while wearing it
Please help!! Thank you!!!
love sennheisser, great vid!
+Practechal Life thanks man, love that they made a pair like this and that they are only $150
Gamesky. I keep seeing these Bludio Victory headphones with 12 drivers on the ear cups. Hopefully you can do a review on those. Would be awesome
i keep getting requests for those so I will definitely pick them up
Another awesome review man!
thanks
Great videos keep it up!!! Everyone on youtube always raves about the sony bt950 and new sony 950n1. I finally decided to give the bt950 a try and was extremely disappointed! Do these Sennheiser have a similar sound to the sony? I felt like the sony were too muddy, no clarity or separation. I'm a big a fan of the Sennheiser sound I currently own the hd650, hd598 and the ie80 to give you and idea of my sound taste.
+Nikko Borja thanks. These don't have the separation of the ones you listed but they are not muddy and can definitely outdo the 950BT
You seem to be really biased towards liking everything about these because of how you loved the 4.30. As I own them as well I think there are definitely better headphones for the price right now. You also didnt mention how the earcups are skinny as hell and those with bigger ears will find them uncomfortable after a while. Im glad youre very passionate about them but you need to be giving accurate reviews if you're a review channel.
Watching this 1 year later with these headphones
Takumi Fujiwara is it noise cancelling?
I previously bought a pair of Over Ear Sennheiser Momentum 1.0s. I was wondering if the inside of the earcup is bigger on the 4.40s? The momentum over ears felt more like an on-ear headphone and I don't want that experience again.
Gamesky. How do these compare to the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless? I heard the Crusher wireless lag a bit when watching movies via Bluetooth.
Bradley Chiduku hmm is that true, trying to decide what to get
Bradley Chiduku I'm taking back the crushers wireless tomorrow. The bass sounds trash and artificial. Not authentic bass. The springs inside the headphones are annoying. I'm very disappointed i bought them due to his recommendation as well
Kyle Craven that's what I heard someone say. I don't know how true that is. Hope Gamesky can shed some light on that one. Still hear a lot of good things about them tho
edrei pratt apparently the bass is really good. My only issue is the lag I've heard about. But sound wise I've heard some great things about the Crusher wireless.
these are better than the Crusher wireless in overall sound. they don't have the rattle your head bass that the Crusher has but they do have better mids and treble. I never noticed any lag with my Crushers so I am not sure about that.
Hey Gamesky. I love to play video games and listen to alot of rock/metal. With these also having a cord with a 3.5 jack that should be able to be used for gaming on xbox one x right ?? If so I think these are perfect.
great review gamesky. in your opinion would I be better off with these or JBL 700 elites? heavy metal and hip hop listener here. thanks!
Blaine Myers definitely these. the 700's are great but they don't hold a candle next to these in the bass department
Gamesky awesome, can't wait to hear them hit! thanks!
Great review. I'm going to try these. I been begging every reviewer to compare the Sony xb950bt and the h.ear on in long term comfort and sound quality.
One question : The long term comfort is great? Is it close to long term comfort with the Bose?
diffrence between 4.30 and 4.40 in sound quality only??????
4serb1AAA zero, its the 4.30 but wireless and ther less loud
How is the soundstage ?? Are they good for gaming ??
Thanks for the review. Currently I own Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 - Wired. I'd like to 'upgrade' to Wireless. Are these a good choice ? I'll be more than happy if Sound quality of these cans remains close to that of Momentum 2.0. Please advise (I'd like to remain loyal to Sennheiser) !
Sathish Rao definitely worth the upgrade......being wireless is a huge plus
Gamesky Thanks for the reply. Since Momentum 2.0 Wired costs more than Wireless HD 4.40, I was worried if I've to settle for a lower overall Sound quality with HD4.40. All I'm looking for is a headphone whose sound quality in 'wired' mode is comparable to that of Momentum 2.0 with an added bonus of Wireless capability. It looks like HD4.40 meets my requirements!
also are this good for metal/rock genre?
Hell no!
Hell yes, been rocking the new tool on them and Slayer and Manson, sound amazing.
Nice review! Does the mic work when you connect them with the cable?
That's what I'd like to know either
I ordered these headphones after watching some reviews. when i received them, i tried them on for about 5 mins max, put them back in the box and sent them back.
Pretty much every point concerning the sound in your review has been false in my experience, they sound horrible. Treble and mids are pretty much the same quality you get on your phone speaker, harsh and thin. There's no sub-bass whatsoever and the bass is soooo damn loose, it feels almost like they added reverb to it. There's no imaging, even worse than audio-technica M50x's ( no hate, i own a pair and i use them exclusively for playing music and mixing and i love them for that reason) there's so little imaging i had to verify i was plugged in correctly in case they were playing in mono.
Other than sound, everything feels cheap from the buttons to the voice prompts. i had better quality for way less money. After getting my money back, i ordered Soundcore's Liberty 2 pro for when i want wireless and i went for Beyerdynamic's DT770 pro for casual music listening which pair perfectly with my m50x.
It's simple, Fuck these cans cause they sound exactly like ''cans'' and your ears deserve better. If i can recommend a better option, go for Kz's zs10 pro, they will shatter your teeth and blow your mind for the price and while you're at it add a USB-C DAC, thank me later.
hmmm would they compete with Sony Bass boosters ? hmmmm great video! glade to see your videos. they have way more smooth flow to them and charisma
thanks. these are much better than the Sony's. they have clarity that the Sony's don't have.
finally, was waiting for a new review
Fernando Vela me too
Fernando Vela well here you go....plenty others coming soon
Hi, great review! Could you please review the Bohm B76 Active noise canceling, I am hesitating to get them but did not find a lot of reviews yet. Thanks in advance!!
+Nayef AHAJJAM I have been looking at those so hopefully soon I will get my hands on them
You can now get these for 80 bucks and they are just ok no bass at all. They are pretty comfy. My wife uses them at the gym. You want bass you want the bluedio ufo2s, or just buy the sony m3s if you want to lay out 300 bucks
Would love to see a review of the 4.50btnc model!
they are on their way.....should hopefully get them next week
TL;DR - it's basically same model, but with noise cancelling mode. Drivers are identical for both 4.40 and 4.50.
Watching this with my 4.40 bt, but I have a problem, I can't see the battery on my phone
Is the HyperX cloud Alpha better than these? I've had the HyperX cloud II for 2 years and couldn't be happier about them.
Fantastic review. You read my mind and just talked the way how i want to listen about these headphones. I was a user of bose QC35. I like the comfort and noise canceling of them but they are not at all fun to listen. I got rid of them and planning for a good noise canceling headphone. Later I came across HD4.5. As they are not yet released, I was waiting for your review of HD 4.4. I know they would sound great in clarity and bass. All I'm worried about is the sound stage. I tried MDR xb950 and very much disappointed with clarity and soundstage. So how do these perform in soundstage? You haven't mentioned anything about the mic for taking calls too. Please let me know about these two.
The mic for taking calls is really good on these and you have nothing to worry about with soundstage either. Sennheiser for some reason knows how to make a closed back headphone that has plenty of space and gives really good separation in the sound. now these are not like their more studio monitor type headphones and with everything being amplified it is more in your face than those....but I think that is what makes them great. You can also use Sennheiser's app and control the sound to get it exactly the way you want
Thanks for the information. Just waiting for Sennheiser to drop HD 4.50
no problem. I am definitely interested to see what those are all about as well
Thank you so much! I'll maybe buy it tomorrow. I'll reply this comment to tell you guys my feelings about it. I love you guys so much!
Leuenherz you didn't even try
What's the difference between the 4.50 & 4.40 sound-wise?
I have a hard time choosing between Sennheiser 4.40BT or the Sony xb950b1 any advice? Also the skullcandy crusher wireless but with the skullcandy crusher I have the feeling the sound quality is not balanced.
How is the noise leakage on these headphones as I tend to blast music. And how is the noise isolation on it? Nice video
Luke Walter there good for that
Great review gamesky! thanks
thanks. i appreciate that
these sell for 90 online now in the Netherlands? worth it?
What are you personal opinions on the difference between these and the 4.50s? the 4.50s are quite a lot more, so I want to know what you think.
Edward Zach Johnston-Crosier wha do you mean by quite ?
Can you use these as a gaming headset? The mic on my 4.40 doesnt work while gaming for some reason.. Also the power button has the worst quality ever, it gets stuck all the time.
