Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound, Great Customization features. I ONLY complaint is that they do not stay on my head very well, although I am fairly active

The Sennheiser - HDB 630 Around-the-ear Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are my new favorite for enjoying high resolution music with a neutral yet detailed sound. The build quality feels solid, yet lightweight enough, super comfortable and the sound and microphone are crystal clear. Thanks to the multipoint connectivity and the included BTD-700 high-res aptX dongle, they paired quickly with both my laptop and my phone via bluetooth. They come with 4 mics and Active Noise-Canceling which will satisfy a variety of scenarios providing different ANC and transparency modes. There is no noticeable hissing sound when ANC is enabled, but I feel like my Sony XM4’s have slightly better ANC even though they’re a couple of years old. The Sennheiser Smart Control App will allow you to fine-tune all settings and install firmware updates. The 5-band graphic EQ with standard presets may be more than enough for most, but Sennheiser offers additional fine-tuning with fully featured parametric EQ that allows you to tweak the sound to your liking and save the custom settings. Even out of the box, with the default “neutral” setting, they sound clear and precise with well defined mids and trebles, and just enough supporting bass. I would say if you’re mostly listening to hip-hop or rap music, these may not boom enough for you, but if you’re listening to classical music, jazz, classic rock, new age, you will love the detailed sound stage these headphones offer. Sennheiser went above and beyond the competition and included a BTD 700 USB-C Bluetooth transmitter in the box, which adds high resolution streaming to smartphones and tablets that don't natively support the higher-quality aptX HD codec. This small dongle lets you stream music at up to 24-bit/96kHz quality using the aptX Adaptive codec, which offers higher resolution and greater data transfer than the standard Bluetooth codec found on iPhones. You can also get the same lossless audio quality using them wired via USB-C or the 3.5mm audio cables included in the box. The touch controls and gestures take some learning and getting used to and could be a bit too sensitive. I wish they were more like the older Microsoft Surface 2 headphones that combine simple touch controls with smooth rotary dials. One cool feature is the auto-on/off feature when you pick them up and put them on, or power off when you take them off and set them down. The battery life is amazing, up to 60 hours with ANC off and an impressive 45 hours with ANC and high-res audio. The USB-C cable is about 5ft long which is very generous and comes in handy for connecting/charging other devices as well. A rigid carrying case with zipper is also included which helps keep them dust-free and provides room for all the cables and accessories for travel. Overall, these are very comfortable, well built headphones, with impeccable sound quality for high-res music listening for audiophiles and would recommend it to anyone who can afford it.

These headphones will blow away AirPods max or Bose qc ultra or sony xm6 Sennheiser experimented differently with hdb630 with the provided bluetooth dongle. ANC is far more improved than Momentum 4. Waiting to see what will momentum 5 bring.

These are by far the best headphones I have ever used. The sound is so natural and realistic, it engulfs you in whatever you are listening too. Treble, bass, highs, mids, lows.. all incredibly accurate. Only thing I wish it had was aptX lossless via Bluetooth.

Headphone are amazing, but open box didn’t include the adapter. If you’re buying new won’t be an issue, but just be wary with open box orders.

I have been using the Sennheiser HDB630 Wireless Headphones for quite some time, and my overall experience has been excellent. They come across as a premium product right out of the box due to their lightweight nature and how they fit comfortably on your head during long listening sessions. The ear cups fit comfortably on the ears, and the leatherette headband is a nice touch. Where these headphones excel the most is in their sound quality. The sound is generally neutral in terms of tuning. Mids and highs are clear and have a wide sound stage. Vocals and acoustic tracks sound natural and well separated. While the parametric EQ is an interesting feature for those that love to customize their sound, it may be overkill for the average user. The crossfeed feature is a nice little touch for certain older recordings, creating a more natural sound. I haven't had any issues with the connectivity on the HDB630. I have found that using the aptX HD technology with the included BTD700 dongle, I've been able to get some cleaner wireless audio than I would normally get through standard Bluetooth. The active noise cancelling (ANC) feature on these headphones is satisfactory; in my opinion, not the most powerful compared to other leading brands in this category, but it does eliminate low-frequency background noise without compromising audio quality. As for the transparency feature on these headphones, it works great. Another excellent feature of the HDB630 is the battery life. I have been able to use the HDB630 for multiple days on a single charge; the fast charge feature is definitely a bonus. These headphones are not the cheapest on the market, but if you're looking for a headphone that provides great sound quality, customisation, and comfort, these headphones deserve serious consideration.

Excellent sound, easy to setup, dongle works great, oustanding sound. Very comfortable to wear.

If you're thinking about picking these up, just do it. The only area these don't deliver on industry leading tech is ANC and that's only barely. Do yourself a favor

Great audio and comfort is great i can listen for hours on this. Connecting to stuff is spotty ocassionally. But best ive had

Excellent sound quality and light weight. Priced higher than other headphones but worth the extra cost.

Sound amazing with a good battery life, definitely the best headphones I’ve ever used

[Employee of bestbuy] Price is well worth it. Sound ks clear and easly tunable to make the sound your favorite sound

Simply put, these headphones are incredible!!! I've read about Sennheiser headphones and knew they have a good reputation but I've never used any before these. My first words after putting them on for the first time were "Oh my God". I see why these are in this price point and honestly they sound like they should cost more. I'll start with the packaging they come in. Outstanding to say the least. I've a couple of other high end brand head phones before but Sennheiser takes it up to another higher level. There is no squeaking sounds from the moving parts and it feels like this set is designed to last a good long time. Fit on my head is rather comfortable and not tight feeling what so ever. The cushions for the head phones is soft and plush feeling. An added bonus is they don't feel at all like overheating while wearing them. The active noise canceling works perfectly. Where these headphones really shine is in the sound quality. Connecting via bluetooth the sound produced by these cans has absolutely no distortion and sound as if they have as near perfect sound that my ears detect. I am a bit of an audio snob and the sound produced by these a darn near perfect. Battery life is decent with no complaints. Another added bonus is they are not heavy on the my head. The included carry case is nice and provided an excellent method of protection when they are traveling with me in my backpack. Overall these headphones by Sennheiser are about as close to perfection to me.

Great sounding headphones but the new technology is in the Bluetooth receiver

This is a long review, so let me give you the TLDR up front. You buy Sennheiser for sound quality, not noise cancellation, “look at me” design, or features such as spatial audio. Sennheiser is all about the sound, and the HDB 630 delivers that like few other wireless headsets, and none close to this price point comes close. Now on to the review proper. When you open the box you’ll see nothing but a welcome sheet and a hard-shell case. The hard-shell case contains the headphones, audio and USB cables, an airplane adapter, and a Sennheiser BDS 700 Bluetooth dongle. While the earcups flatten for storage, they do not fold up. This makes the carrying case somewhat large but manageable. The product design is simple. Available only in matte black with matte silver accents, the product is devoid of decoration save a stylized Sennheiser “S” on each side of the headband. It is very Germanic looking, sometimes referred to as the “Teutonic coal bin” school of design. But in a world of headphones in bright metallic colors and overwrought design cues meant only to stand out, this subtlety sends the message that these cans are all about the sound. Personally, I prefer this simple design. The band and ear cups are made of memory foam covered in imitation leather. They are all well-padded, and I found them comfortable and easy to wear for long periods of time. The ear cups fit tightly around my ears, forming a reasonable noise-blocking seal. The folks at Sennheiser have decided that this iteration of its noise-cancelling headphones belong in their HD (audiophile) line rather than their Momentum (high-end consumer) line. They certainly live up to this designation. Using the same size 42mm drivers as the Momentum 4, Sennheiser has tuned the HDB 630 to deliver sound worthy of the HD line. The soundstage is wide (meaning it sounds like the music is coming from the room rather than the small space of the headphone). It falls somewhere between the Momentum 4 (which I own) and the open-back HD 560 (which I also own). This wide soundstage is a remarkable achievement in a closed-back headphone. Let’s get the BDS 700 dongle discussion out of the way here. You may not realize it, but odds are your phone, tablet, or laptop does not support advanced lossless Bluetooth CODECs like aptX HD. If you plug in a high-quality set of headphones like this using a cord, then connect to your device’s Bluetooth, the drop-off in audio quality will be immediately noticeable. The BDS 700 dongle supports these advanced CODECs. It will plug into any USB-C port and deliver wireless sound that is indistinguishable from the wired version. Unless you are using certain high-end Android products, the difference between the sound delivered by your device’s Bluetooth and the BDS 700 will be immediately apparent. In order to use the BDS 700, you must pair the HDB 630 to it. This is simple enough – just put the headset into pairing mode and push the button on the end of the dongle and they will find each other. The dongle can then be plugged into any USB-C equipped device and your headset will work. (With a caveat on lost connections, below.) The default sound setting (called “neutral”) is very clear. Bass notes are distinctive, not blurred, and I could not get the low frequencies to distort at any volume setting. This allows other instruments that overlap to come through cleanly while presenting each drumbeat and bass line as clearly as it was recorded. Midrange sounds are solid and highs are sharp and present. Every note of every instrument and voice comes through clearly and distinctly. You’ll hear details in your music that you’ve never noticed before, and these details come together to present a truly beautiful representation of whatever music you’re listening to. I really can't emphasize enough just how much better these sound than any other wireless headphones I've heard. The default setting eschews the v-shaped sound (heavily emphasized bass and treble) of most commercial headsets in favor of a flat, neutral sound. While this sound was good, I found it a bit too clinical for long listening sessions. It needed a bit more bass, and female vocals sounded sharp to me. Fortunately, this is all very easy to change in the app. The app has a series of pre-set sound selections and the ability to customize using either a graphic or parametric equalizer. You’re almost certainly familiar with the former, but the latter warrants a quick explanation. The parametric equalizer lets you decide what frequencies you want to center your adjustments on (up to five control points). It then allows you to decide if this is a standard adjustment or if it sets what’s known as a Q-level, where everything between this and the next adjustment point is either maximized or minimized to that level. It takes some playing around with, but it’s worth the effort to explore and figure out what sounds best to you. Fortunately, the parametric equalizer offers an A/B switch. You can set a sound, make adjustments, then flip between them to see which one you want to keep. If all of this sounds like too much work, the graphic equalizer has a simple “which sounds better to you” guide where it will create customized settings for you. The app is also where you set the automatic noise cancellation settings. This is continuously variable from off to no outside sound. While not as good as the industry leaders in noise cancellation, it works more than well enough to block sounds around the house or on a plane (I fly a lot, so I always leave it set to max). There is also a wind reduction mode, which I would turn off it you fly as it actually enhances the sound of the jet engine. The ANC mode also seems to interfere with the microphones for calls, so you’ll want to set that to disable on calls (it’s all automated through the app.) Now we get to the quirky things. If you’re connected through the dongle, the app can’t see the headphones. They have to be connected through Bluetooth for the app to work. While you can theoretically do this on one device, I found the native Bluetooth on my iPhone wanted to take control of the device connection, which drastically reduced the sound quality. I ended up connecting my iPad using the Bluetooth and the dongle to the iPhone using the multi-device connection option. This allows me to play music from my iPhone while adjusting it on my iPad. When I want to listen on my iPad, I turn off the native iPad Bluetooth and plug in the dongle. It’s not an ideal setup, but it’s one that works. I also have had issues with dropped Bluetooth connections. Both my iPhone and iPad at some point told me that they could no longer access the HDB 630 and I would need to reconnect it. Even the Sennheiser dongle lost connection and had to be re-paired to the HDB 630. On the iPad, the Smart Control Plus app does not have save or return buttons to get back to the main screen. You have to kill the app (which saves your setting as a new preset) and come back into it. All of these except the dongle connection should be easily fixable through app or firmware upgrades, and my experience with the Momentum 4 has been that Sennheiser is good at correcting issues like these. I honestly don’t know if the app can be made to work directly through the BDS 700 dongle, so a workaround like I use may be permanent. Summary of this long review matches the TLDR above. You buy Sennheiser for the sound quality, not the noise cancellation, spatial audio features, or fancy packaging. And the HDB 630 delivers sound quality that I’ve not heard outside of high-end audiophile headsets, does so wirelessly, and at a cost far below anything else that sounds close to this good. If audio quality is your guidepost, these are simply unbeatable.

Perfect Christmas gift . My hisbans loved his gift.

Not bass-y enough for me, and it doesn't get terribly loud, either. The touch controls were not always responsive, which is insane for $500 headphones. I returned them.

Verdict: I had my heart set on a different pair of touch headphones… Those desires are gone, and more than met by the Sennheiser HDB 630. They are close to perfect: comfort, sound, quality, discretion, customization, and lots of features. Exceptional! Initial Impressions. The style is discreet and unassuming of a pair of $500 earphones. There is only one button and one connector on the headphones. They are a bit more bulky and heavy than my previous headphones. Unlike other headphones that collapse into a more space efficient geometry, these headphones take up more space in my backpack. The package includes the headphones, cables (3.5mm audio, USB-C), USB-C dongle, airplane adapter (so convenient!!) and a case to store everything. Critically important for headphones, they are wonderfully comfortable! Setup. Thank you very much for including a quick-start and stickers on the touch area of the headphones to get me started. I already had the app from having a pair of Sennheiser earbuds, but if you don’t, there is a QR code for easy app download. Pairing is standard through the app or directly from your phone’s Bluetooth settings. App. Some apps are meh… Some are good. This one is fantastic; it offers everything I look for in an app and significantly enhances the value and capabilities of the headphones. The anti-wind feature actually works well, eliminating distortions from breeze or gusts. I have not really used sound zones before, but I appreciate the existence of the feature to customize specific settings to locations. The parametric equalizer is a game-changer. Bass boost is a must have for me because of my preference for heavier bass. Sound. I didn’t know what I was missing until now… Have these spoiled me now?? Sound quality is simply exceptional. The neutral equalizer has forced me to reassess my typical preference for heavier bass and experiment with details, which I frankly didn’t know I was missing before… Allowing for a new experience in my listening. I still resort to Bass boost, but I think I am appreciating more how lows, mids, and highs come together. Passive sound reduction is excellent. Active Noise Cancellation works decently, and contributes to an immersive sound experience. Things I love: - Exceptional sound - Love, love, love the touch controls!! - Very impressive battery life, and convenient quick charge feature to get 7 hours in 10 min of charging if you are in a bind - Exquisite equalizer - Hear-through mode works well - Comfortable, even after hours - USB-C Dongle for low latency audio can also benefit gamers! - Discreet styling, and uncommon, something I really appreciate - The padding works well with my eye glasses - Auto on and off if a feature all headphones should have, well done! - A/B button to hear the original sound vs your equalizer - Great call sound quality, but most importantly with a microphone that picks up my voice well. This is not always the case, with people telling me in the past that I sound “far.” Things I don’t love: - ANC could be better at this price point, but I find the current ANC level acceptable given all the other strengths of these headphones - The ear cups swivel easily so you could end up putting them in a way that they are slightly off center on your head, and thus impacting sound. Overall, the Sennheiser HDB 630 are exceptional… in sound, in comfort, in features, in touch controls, and in the app quality and customization. If you are looking for the best sound possible and can afford the price of these headphones, they are well worth it.

I really like my Sennheiser HDB 630 headphones. In the past when shopping for headphones, I tended to purchase ones that I wouldn’t feel bad about losing. I opted for the best listening quality I could find for less than a hundred bucks. However, like most people who have attended a few too many concerts and sporting events without any regard for hearing protection, I had started noticing slight hearing loss. This became especially noticeable when I recently started studying Spanish and was unable to distinguish certain consonants when listening to Spanish narration. My cheaper noise-cancelling headphones were no longer cutting it. I began researching Sennheiser headphones because I was impressed by some Sennheisers I used for audio and video editing at my previous job. For me, the Sennheiser HDB 630 headphones checked all the boxes. The sound quality is excellent for podcasts and music. The noise-cancelling works quite well, even outside in the wind. They are lightweight and very comfortable. The earpieces have just the right amount of padding. They cover the ears completely while remaining comfortable when wearing glasses or sunglasses. The headband is well padded and stays in place. The controls on headphones are easy to use. The user-friendly app includes an equalizer that allows you to create and save your own filters. The headphones hold a charge for several days—longer than any other headphones I own. They come with a sturdy, fabric-covered case that has a mesh pocket and elastic straps for the included cords and adapters. For me, these headphones have been a game changer.

Do not buy. Or buy in person. I never got them and they did nothing to help me I have security camera footage of my house for the time they say it was delivered and nothing was and it’s just a game to them. Seriously don’t waste your time and money buying anything online from Best Buy.
