With 42mm transducers, these headphones are made to replicate the "balanced depth and precision of a studio recording". That is mostly the case with performance, too, the HD 450BTs producing a smooth, rich balance that’s enjoyable, not to mention easy to listen to. Whether you’re listening to Frahm’s virtuosic piano playing or satisfying some electro funk impulse, their full-bodied and rounded, yet still plenty lively, delivery will amiably present warm piano keys and sizzling synths alike.

The accompanying vocal and trebly synths, which sit just on the peripherary of the Sennheiser’s centre-stage spotlight, carry decent detail and as much impetus too. By comparison, though, the AKGs and similarly priced Philips PH805s do greater justice to the production by surfacing greater texture and dynamic variation. Verdict An equalizer within the app means that you can adjust the sound settings, whether you favor a bassier mix or the more natural sound of treble-heavy audio. It’s a nice touch for those who want the ability to truly customize their headphones, but we found that the default EQ setting was the best option for us. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones support Bluetooth 5.0 and codecs like aptX, AAC, and SBC, as well as aptX Low Latency – this means you shouldn't experience connection dropouts or any annoying lag when watching videos with these headphones.With ANC switched on and the headphones connected via Bluetooth, battery life is up to an impressive 50 hours. Enough to keep you going for days without a charge, the long-lasting battery life makes all the difference in convenience. There’s also an Anti-Pressure mode that reduces the discomfort sometimes associated with noise-canceling headphones – it’s a subtle difference, but if you suffer from the uncomfortable feeling of pressure on your ears, you’ll likely find this feature very useful indeed.

We tested this feature by selecting ‘Find my Tile’ in the app; once we did this, the headphones started vibrating and ringing, getting louder as time went on – all in all, it worked really well. Battery life is also significantly lower than the original Momentum 3 Wireless headphones, which offered a far more palatable 22 hours of battery life. Still, it should be enough to get you through a week’s worth of commuting. The earcups and foldable headband are made from sheepskin leather, which unfortunately means these headphones are unsuitable for those who avoid using animal products; if this isn’t a problem for you, you’ll find that these earcups feel extremely soft and comfortable to wear for long periods. Bluetooth is complete with aptX Low Latency support for syncing up audio and video (with less than 40 milliseconds of latency) when you’re watching a video or playing a game on your connected device. It’s a useful feature, and one that works pretty well – too well, in fact. Sometimes just slightly adjusting the headphones or moving our head was enough to abruptly stop our music.

With signature Sennheiser sound, wireless comfort and class-leading battery life, the Sennheiser ACCENTUM are your long-lasting music companion. A selection of sound modes tailor the sound to suit your tastes and genre. Bass Boost is ideal for a deeper, fuller sound, while Podcast mode enhances speech. For a completely bespoke sound, use the 5-band equaliser to create the perfect response for you. The Sennheiser HD 450BTs aren’t the best sounding noise-cancelling headphones out there for the money. Nor are they the easiest to control on your head.
