Encouraged by the great success of the Momentum headphones, Sennheiser began designing the second generation, and for our review, we selected the largest model on offer – the Momentum II over-ear. The new Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless lets you experience crystal clear MOMENTUM sound without being attached to a cable. These high-resolution headphones sets the benchmark for performance, style, and comfort in the wireless headphone category. Bluetooth technology is integrated with engineering expertise to ensure the MOMENTUM signature sound remains intact.

If you are looking for high-quality headphones that can be used in the home via cable but also on the go via a Bluetooth connection and affordable enough, Sennheiser offers a solution with its new Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT. The new HD Series models were unveiled at the CES Show in January 2019. In addition to the corded headphones (HD 4.20S and HD 4.30), as well as the HD 4.50 BTNC flagship with active noise reduction system, the HD 4.40 BT headphones were also introduced which provide cable or Bluetooth connection. The Construction of Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT The tested

We tested Sennheiser HD 4.50BTNC wireless headphones, which are a great smartphone companion – both on the road and at home. The expansion of Sennheiser’s HD 4 series of headphones introduced last year with new models HD 4.40BT and HD 4.50BTNC met with great recognition of the market. This manufacturer’s strategy could have been foreseen because, firstly, Sennheiser introduced models from other series, with Momentum at the forefront, in a similar way, and secondly wireless headphones are the most popular in this price range. In the case of Sennheiser, the fact of carefully refining new constructions does not raise the

If you’ve always wondered how you can step into the world of high-end audio at the lowest cost, HiFiMan offers the answer in the form of the excellent HE-4XX headphones. HiFiMan 4XX are planar-magnetic, open-ended headphones based on its HE-400i HiFiMan, but it does bring a few modifications to its build quality and acoustic performance, making it an overall better, yet significantly cheaper. This is one of the cheapest entrances to the world of planar-magnetic headphones, but also high-quality (not to say “audiophile”) sound. The HiFiMan HE4XX are open-planar-magnetic headphones, built on the company’s own HE-400i model, available for sale

Denon AH-D7200 – Denon’s latest premium headphones are once again attracting fans of this underrated part of the audio system with its great sound and aesthetics. Denon began its tradition in audio production in 1910, and to this day has produced a huge number of all-purpose components, but 50 years ago they started designing and manufacturing headphones. The tested model is so anniversary, but with its solutions and sound and a clear reminiscence of the days when Denon incorporated drivers from the famous manufacturer Fostex in his models. During this period, they produced several legendary models that are still famous

Denon is a well-known and very popular consumer electronics manufacturer among the good audio lovers in both the professional and home audio and video worlds. Perhaps a little less well known to the public is that the company also offers a line of Hi-Fi headphones, so this time around, we’ve taken their new model, the AH-D5200, to the test. In its offer, Denon has a total of six models of similarly designed headphones, and the tested model is right in the middle of that offer. Recently, it is obvious that more and more people are willing to put aside the

Over the last few years, the home audio market has seen a fair amount of change. Business activity on the Internet has enabled many small, local companies to sell their products to consumers all over the globe, without having to rely on retailers. On the other hand, crowdfunding enables small companies to establish serial production with minimal investments. There are many such companies, but without good products, they can hardly make themselves visible on the market. One such product arrived at our office for testing. Meze 99 Classic headphones come from Romania and represent the pinnacle of this company’s hard

Bose Frames music glasses will save your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun while giving your everyday life a soundtrack – without blocking your ears. The most famous smart glasses that have seen the light of day so far are Google Glasses. It was a futuristic gadget with great ambitions, but also a noise of technical and conceptual deficiencies, which ultimately ruled it and turned it into an object of mockery. Bose Frames can also be called smart glasses, but they have absolutely no touch with the Google product because their “smartness” manifests itself in a completely different

HD 650 was the best Sennheiser product from 2003 to 2008. Afterward, the HD700 and HD800 came out. However, even after 15 years on the market, the HD 650 is still a premium model of headphones worth having. The fundamental feature is their very smooth frequency response, with no pronounced nonlinearities, a slightly pronounced area that gives a tone warmth from 30 Hz to 500 Hz and a slightly muted high-frequency range. However, long has been the way to perfection. Prior to the HD650, Sennheiser first developed the HD 580 in 1993. The predecessors of the HD 600 were the

The Sennheiser HD 599 headphones give a mature sound with a colorful midrange and a delicate and beautifully extended treble. It’s always worth waiting for the annual Berlin IFA for just one reason – it is there that the first official presentations have devices that will not be available until after some time. It resembles a fashion situation – the latest trends appear before the actual season, which allows you to organize the wardrobe and prepare for the arrival of the “new”. IFA is, therefore, a kind of compass of the latest trends and it is not surprising that it attracts
