Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought these about 3 years ago and had to come back and write a review. First, they've been great to use. They sound great, the noise cancelling is awesome, and they're comfortable to wear. The main reason is the durability. I was leaving for work one day and had them with me in the case. My daughter calls me later that day and let me know I dropped them in the driveway. I was like, "uh oh..." I thought maybe I ran them over with my truck. Turns out I DID! I have an F450 Dually, and the dual tires on the back ran them over! Right over them. The only damage?? The padding came off of one of the earpieces. That's it! No other damage at all! Nothing cracked, nothing broken. And the padding is replaceable, so I just popped it back on and good as new! Highly recommend!!

I bought these head phones to connect to my TV because I'm a little harder of hearing than my wife. They totally serve the purpose of buying them and provide a really good sound without having her yelling at me saying I'm deaf all the time. Or she could be and I just don't hear her when wearing them. My only issues with them would be some static/crackling noises from time to time. That could honestly be from another tech I'm using to connect to the TV. The other thing would be that the earphones don't breathe that well for me causing my ears to heat up and sweat, but that also could be on me because I tend to run hot as is.

Great head phones. Had to figure out the buttons and they sound great. Comfortable to wear. Can wear for 3 to 4 hours at a time. Caught them on sale, and a great bargain.

I read many good reviews about the sound quality and decided to try this company for my next headphones. Suddenly, my Beats Studio 3 headphones were broken (due to really bad design quality), so I decided to give these headphones a try and I'm really glad about my choice. I give it 4 stars only because the headphones are smaller than Beats Studio; it's a really good product, but Beats was more comfortable – just that. I can recommend, if you have a chance to try this product in person, try it before buying.

I got these on a superb deal and for what I paid they’re extraordinary. At full retail, I’d say still quality but slightly overpriced. Sound quality is great. Button function is a little weird for me but the fact they can go wired to for music production is a huge plus for me. Very comfortable for me, solid build quality. I’m happy with em.

Good battery and sound quality is good too . Thank you

I was expecting a little more from Seinheisser if I am being quite honest. The sound is clear but there is not enough bass for me. Bass does not feel punchy enough for me. If you are a bass lover I would recommend the Skullcandy Crusher Evo. Does rattle your head like crazy!

Very comfortable and great sound. I use it also with the cable to listen to TV later at night. Of course listening to music with Bluetooth is a major enjoyment either from my phone or my onyx stereo receiver

I am a member of Best Buy’s Technical Insider Network, TIN for short. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews. Summary: The 450BT sound is crisp, clean, and bright. So bright that I had to turn down the treble and boost the base in the Sennheiser application. The ANC reduces constant ambient noise, such as a computer fan, to a little more than half. Sounds such as typing, doors closing, or cars driving by is reduced by a little but not enough to make my listening experience truly immersive. Hands free calling works well. The people I spoke with over the phone did not realize I was wearing a wireless headset that did not have a dedicated microphone boom. The controls on the right ear cup are useful, well placed, and responsive while connected too my phone over Bluetooth. Only ANC is functional when connected over the included stereo cable. The headphones are attractive and low profile. You can get away with walking with these on the street without looking like a dork. Construction is plastic, light weight, with stiff cushioning. The ear cups can accommodate any size head up to 9 inches from ear to ear. The head band is flexible and is covered with soft padding. The ear cups are smaller than on other headphones I have used at this price point. I have two issues with these headphones. First, the ear cups are too small for my ears. I am forced to push my ears into the back of the ear cups and then fold the ear cups forward to towards the front of my head to get a correct fit. Second, the ear cup padding is very stuff. I have TMJ. The padding puts enough pressure on my jaw that I cannot wear these headphones for more than an hour without discomfort. Please read on for the details. Sound: I started off with the K-Pop single “Pop/Stars” by K/DA, Madison Beer & (G)I-DLE. The very first thing I noticed was how weak the bass was and how bright the highs were. I immediately loaded up Sennheiser’s control app, boosted the base, and dropped the treble. This evened out the sound and brought it more in line with my personal tastes. I followed up with Momoland’s, “Boom Boom”. The base was punchy and fun. Next is a little-known track, “Train Wreck of Electro Swing” from the video game A Hat in Time. This piece if electronica and base heavy. Every sound was crisp, clear, and the base was punchy. I then switched over to Mega Death’s, “Holy Wars… Punishment Due” and “In my Darkest Hour”. The 450BT’s did a great job of representing the guitars, drums, bass guitar, and the vocals. These headphones held their own at all volume levels. Finally, I threw some classical to get a feel for how lengthy homework sessions may go. For this I chose Bach’s “Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins and Orchestra BMW 1043: III.” The violins high pitched violins were distinct and present. The 450BT’s did a good job of representing the orchestra in the background. Overall, I think these headphones did a good of reproducing a rather complicated piece of music. Setup: Setting up the earphones was easy. The very first thig I did was make sure they charged for two hours. Holding the power button for a few seconds put the headphones into sync mode. My iPhone had no issues picking up the 450BT and adding it to the Bluetooth wireless device list. A few seconds later I was listening to my favorite iTunes. I also set these up for use with my Windows 10 laptop. The headphones did protest a bit jumping connection from the iPhone to the computer over Bluetooth. The solution was to turn the iPhone’s Bluetooth off. I have other Bluetooth enabled headphones that swap easily between devices. The 450BT is inconsistent. I never have issues with the iPhone. It is switching devices that give me issues. Sennheiser’s Smart Control app allows for a single configuration item, the Equalizer. The 450BT allows for three adjustments: Bass, Mid, and Treble. There are two presets: Movie and Neutral. You can adjust the three sliders to your personal taste and then save that as a new preset. Personally, I think Sennheiser should have taken a little extra effort here to add a few other presets such as Rock, Jazz, and Classical. The app also reports the 450BT’s battery level and firmware version. Controls: First, the good. The button layout on the right ear cup will take a little practice to get used to. Everything works as advertised. The power button performs triple duty with the Bluetooth sync activation and the noise cancelation, or ANC. Then there is the volume control rocker button, forward/skip/pause switch, and the voice assistance switch. The right ear cup also houses two microphones, the stereo jack, and the USB charging port. The buttons are easily accessible, have good travel when pressed, and are responsive. Pressing any of the buttons immediately activate the corresponding feature on my phone. The same is true with my Windows 10 laptop. However, unlike my iPhone, I can only control the features available through the app I am using. For example, I cannot skip from one YouTube video to another using the skip forward/back features on the right ear cup. Finally, the only 450BT feature you can control while using the headphone jack is the ANC. Construction: The headphones are light weight plastic construction. Even the extension arms and ear cup holders are plastic. The ear cups are soft vinyl covering stiff foam. The head band is stiff enough to hold its shape and flexible enough to allow for larger heads. The head band expands to accommodate a space of about 9 inches from ear to ear. The ear cups are also on a swivel along the Y axis to allow for use with big hair or hats. You can get about 7 inches of clearance from the middle of the ear cup to the top of the head band in the right situation. The ear cups also swivel about 10 degrees forward and back to accommodate different head shapes. Finally, they have a little “L” and “R” molded into the decorative molding on the head band. They are hard to see unless you are looking straight at them. The controls are on the right ear cup. Why I cannot recommend these: The ear cups are too small. The padding is too stiff. The opening is 1-inch wide front to back and 2 ½ inches long from top to bottom. A child will probably do fine with the size and fit. Certainly not your average teenager or adult. If Sennheiser hallowed out the earcups then the comfort issues would vanish. As designed, the padding partially covers the speakers, forces the ear into an unnatural position, and puts undue pressure directly to my jaw’s joint which causes fatigue and pain. To illustrated the point, I load my ears starting from the back of my head, catch the back edge of my ears inside the ear cup, and then fold the earcups over my ears until the earcups rest flat against my head. The tips of my ears touch the speakers. I could wear these flat against my ears, however, these are marketed as over the ear and not on the ear. Also, wearing them flat is equally uncomfortable. I gave these to my youngest. This is most likely the age group these headphones are marketed towards. She gave me similar feedback to what I wrote above. She does not want to wear these headphones. All the positives of these headphones become irrelevant if no one in my household is willing to use them. I own other Sennheiser headphones and am very satisfied with them. The 450BT is not one of them. Human comfort needs to be front and center for headphones at this price point. And then everything else. Thank you for reading this review.

Headphones HD 458BT sounds was good but on noise canceling I will feed was soft not heavy and functional button quite tiny very hard to used it who have huge hand.

Smooth listening, very light weight and comfortable. It swivel for easy comfort,really nice. Price is ok for quality. I would recommend.

Extremely delighted to use this Item. It was a good deal thanks to best buy. The audio quality is the best I could get for the price and the device is ergonomic as well. Comfortable to wear and use. The detailing also fits the product. Happy to be it's consumer and the delicery didn't take long as well. I'd love to gift this to my close ones.

So about a month shy of having these 2 years. Sound quality is very nice as long as I don't have another electronic device between me and the source then there is some distortion and breaking up of the signal. I don't usually wander too far away so not a big issue. My biggest issue is the material covering the head phones it's nice enough but appears to only be glued together on the inside of the part that goes over your ears. A few months ago the one side started to come apart so I stitched it back together. Now the other side is doing the same thing. For the price I wouldn't expect to have to stitch the cover back together on both sides in just under owning these for 2 years. Due to the built in mic not working well for streaming I got another brand headset for half this price and the inside of the ears is stitched. This will be something I pay attention to if I ever look to buy another Sennheiser headset or any headset in the future

bought 2 of these as gifts during Black Friday.. the noise canceling is amazing but it falls short because both sets the right ear seems more powerful than the left year even when we’re placed at store three straight times the same thing happens I kept them, but they are back up headphones for family

Sennheiser HD 458BT wireless noise cancelling headphones are extremely good. The noise cancelling headphones do a great job and align with the advertised specifications. Costly but the sound quality is worth the money

These headphones have been phenomenal, I have been using them for the last 4 years and the sound quality still holds up!

This was my first Sennheiser Headphone and I was really impressed by how good this Sennheiser HD 458BT sounds at very good sale price plus the quality of this headphone is really good and it has its own app which is really cool!

Sound quality is as good as it could possible could be via wireless connection. The reach is insane, now I can go and take the garbage out and even pick up the mail while I am still in conference calls.

Incredible sound, mediocre noise cancellation. For the price, they are a great buy!

Quality sound from a well known brand. Noise cancelling is a good feature.
