Audio Excellence at a Great PriceLet me start by saying I am an amateur audio enthusiast that loves a balanced and detailed sound signature. I don’t care about making phone calls or active noise cancellation (ANC). For the most part, I wear headphones in quiet places to listen to music and ANC usually messes up the sound signature anyway. Just give me good audio with passive noise isolation and I am satisfied. Second, I don’t care for the bloated bass you find in most consumer headphones. Just let me hear what was recorded with clarity, detail, natural tonality, and a great sound stage. I’ve spent a modest amount on DACs, amps, earphones, and headphones to deliver the kind of sound that makes you remember why you love music so much.But there are times when I just want to kick back and relax and not be tied down by wires. My solution to date has been EarStudio’s ES100 and a good pair of IEMs. The AAC codec from an iPhone using high-quality music source (FLAC, Amazon Ultra HD) with high-end in-ear monitors sound reasonably close to my wired Drop HD6XX or Hifiman HE400i cans on my Schiit stack. I had tried a few over-ear Bluetooth headphones but nothing has ever sounded even close to what I consider high quality audio. Either too much bass or an ANC system that interfered with the audio signature (on or off). Nothing met my amateur audiophile aspirations.That is until I got Sennheiser HD 350BT. After reading a few of the reviews, I almost didn’t order them. But for under $100 I decided to take a chance. From the first listen I was blown away by the balanced sound signature. Not that far off from the Sennheiser house sound signature. After 20+ hours of breaking them in, the bass has opened up just a little and the mids are still wonderfully natural and perfectly placed evenly in the mix. And while these are not as good as a wired over-ear headphone on a high-quality dac/amp, for a wireless audio headphone solution these come close enough to free me from the wires and not feel like I am missing much.The bass is solid from sub-bass to mid-bass without muddying up the lower mids. These are not consumer bass-head cans with bloated bass. You can feel the thump of bass drums and toms on ears. The bass is present way down into the frequency range, but there isn’t an overpowering slam nor is it the star of the show. But it is clean and surprisingly detailed. And the sound app EQ settings, which is too simplistic, still let’s you bump the bass some if you need a little more. Listening to Marcus Miller on Laid Black is great for illustrating how well these handle the lower frequencies. Miller’s bass solos are a pure pleasure listen to.Mids are where many headphones fall short – either missing the natural sound of voices and instruments or placing them behind/under the bass and highs. Yet this is where much of the audio is in most genres of music. Voices, guitars, strings, woodwinds, brass, and snares/toms bring the bulk of audio that is to be heard. The HD 350BT shines here. Sennheiser really shows they know how to shape a balanced sound signature around high-quality mids. Listening to Boney James on Future Soul I heard a natural and realistic alto sax sound that is so, so good.The highs are also very good and actually somewhat relaxed for Sennheiser. I prefer just a little more air and sparkle, but even without EQ these are delightful. However, using the very-basic EQ settings in the Sennheiser Sound Control app I was able to bump the highs to add exactly what I was looking for. Cymbals and triangles ring clear and the detail and imaging provided is very good for Bluetooth wireless audio. No distortion, sibilance, or feel of grainy treble. You can hear small details of instrument decay, reverb, and echoes in the room. Listening to the Marcin Wasilewski Trio with Joakim Miller on Spark of Life, I was able to hear the detailed clicks of drumsticks and subtle crash of cymbals of Michal Miskiewicz’s excellent musicality on the drums in each song.But what I love best about the HD 350BT is the excellent dynamics and sound stage. I’m not sure how Sennheiser worked their magic building a digital audio decoder and amp into a headphone that delivers such an excellent sound stage. But I am very happy they did. They sound equally good at low volume or high. Overall dynamics from soft to loud is incredible for a wireless audio product. The stage is wider than average with a good bit of depth and height. They detail of the highs provided just enough air give that sense of spaciousness and realism I really enjoy. It really put these over the top for me.Note that these are not the loudest headphones and to get these cranking they need to be in excess of 75% volume, which does not leave much room at the top end. But given the excellent passive noise isolation, they are more than loud enough for most, even in a moderately loud environment. The Sound Control App is marginally useful. The EQ works, but is essentially a three-band equalizer that can be toggled between a hard to use visual representation or a linear hi/mid/low band setting that is easier to use. I do wish that Sennheiser could have provided a 5 or 7 band EQ. But as I said it works – just could be better.I also found the HD 350BT headphones to be very comfortable and can wear them for hours at a time with no discomfort. That said, the ear pads are soft but somewhat small and could be problematic for someone with larger ears. The build quality is solid despite the plastic material used for the majority of the body. They also look great in black to me. But don’t expect frills, a case, or even a bag. The focus at this price is on a great audio, not accessories.If you are more of an audio purist, love the natural sound signature/tonality of Sennheiser products and don’t care about ANC, then these are a huge steal at under $100. Forget the HD 450BT and it’s ANC, get these instead. And no need to spend $300 or more on Sony and Bose. Spend your money on great audio. These simply sound great!

nice comfy on ear headset with decent toneAttractive looking “on ear” headset that fits my xxl starter cap head. I’ve had to return other headsets that just will not fit. So maybe this helps other big head individuals. The ear pads start to feel uncomfortable just like all on ear headsets and they’re too hot after about 40 minutes but we live in Texas where we have perpetual summer.BT hooked up with no issues and the controls are nice.The sound out of box was meh compared to other headsets in my home, I read about their app in the manual so downloaded and tweaked the eq to sound better to me. The app prompted for a firmware update and I’m happy with the tone but the mids are still too pronounced which is fine with voice and some genres but I’ll be using another headset for just pure music listening pleasure. This are good for wearing around house or cleaning the pool etc…Let’s see how long they last! $90 is pricey compared to some better sounding oneodio BT headset that do not last.

Only One IssueI like these a lot. The sound profile and the tactile buttons are great. Not to mention the amazing battery life.The problem I have with these are the earpads. They’re on the firm side and the actual opening for your ear is small. This means you have a choice of them either sitting on your earlobes or on the top of your ear. Either one will begin to hurt after ~45 minutes of listening. I got some bigger replacement earpads to solve this issue and they are still good value if you get them on sale like I did.

If they were only slightly largerI was looking for a pair of wireless headphones I could use at work. The main features on my list…wireless and decent sound. This fills both of those needs nicely. The battery life isn’t bad either. If these were the same size as my HD6xx then they would be perfect.Unfortunately I don’t have little slices of potato for ears. I would call these more ON THE EAR than OVER THE EAR when it comes to fit. Because of that, and the fact I wear glasses, it makes these uncomfortable for prolonged wear. I need to re-adjust these or remove them completely after about 30 mins of use. My other gripe, so far, is blue tooth connectivity. It dropped the connection to my laptop twice in the first few hours of use. I noticed it has a firmware update so I’ll give that a shot in the hopes it solves that problem. If i could do it again I find a headphone that was more comfortable to wear than these. They do cancel most of the noise around me even though they are not noise canceling.

a fair budget optionThese are a fair but not the best budget option comparable to the wireless over the ear Bose models and subsequent renditions offered by nearly every headphone maker.80% of the brands available share a single parent company and the internals are roughly the same. Because of this, I will stick to basing my comparisons on the qualities that form as a result of the design.The price is good and the sound is acceptable. I don’t like the complexity and fragility of the controls.My biggest gripe is the presence of a thumping noise that echos into the earmuffs while walking. Each footstep seems to resonate through the frame. I don’t know exactly what causes it but it’s a little annoying.The sound quality is similar to the most recent Bose model and the interface is comparable making them a good value for those who are interested in the Bose but do not care about noise-canceling. That being said, the interface on the Bose is not intuitive. The controls are fragile, tedious and more difficult to operate the other brands. The Sony models that I have tried are superior to both and generally cost less than the Bose and more than these. Of the three, I think that the Sony is the best value.For an even better value with comparable sound and superior controls at an even lower price, I prefer the cheaper JBL models. I am under the impression that they have much of the same internals and sound as good but feel more sturdy and can be found in a variety of models for as low as 2/3 the price of the Sennheiser HD350BT. Alternatively, the Sony models beginning around $125 are well worth the price for those who’s budget allows.

These are not over ear headphones!These are on ear headphones. I was disappointed at first, but the sound quality is very good and they are comfortable to wear. Build quality is average as they are all plastic construction.

Perfectly AdequateThe Sennheiser 350BT offer a competitive deal for the price point. One of its many strengths is that its sound quality is of high quality, not too much emphasis on the bass to offer a well balanced sound signature. In addition to the sound quality, the overall build of the headphones offer a durable package. Though entirely plastic, the headphones are built quite nice to offer not too much flex in handling. The earcups are small enough to not fully cover those with large ears and its padding on the headband can cause some discomfort after long hours of using the headphones. Its battery life can last for many days without charging with heavy use, although some forewarning would be nice when using with a PC. Ultimately, these Sennheisers are well priced and offer a strong competition to its competitors.
