Sennheiser's HD 450BT headphones have lots going for them, from crazy-long battery life to impressive noise canceling. That's not to say they're without issues.
Sleek, understated style ; Excellent battery life ; Good build quality ; Solid noise cancellation ; Smooth, clean bass response
Expert review by : Tim Gideon (pcmag.com)
Strong noise cancellation for the price ; Excellent audio performance ; Can be used in passive mode with cable, or wired mode with ANC enabled ; User-adjustable EQ
Noise cancellation is solid, but not class-leading
Sennheiser's HD 450BT headphones deliver excellent Bluetooth audio and solid noise cancellation for a bargain price.

The Sennheiser HD 450BT are alright wireless over-ear headphones. While they have a similarly sleek and decently built design as the Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC, the...
Graphic EQ and presets. Over 24 hours of continuous battery life. Okay ANC feature.
Disappointing integrated microphone. Inconsistent mid-treble delivery. Some users may find these headphones uncomfortable.
The Sennheiser HD 450BT are okay for neutral sound. They have a slight overemphasis across the bass range and their treble is a bit dark. These headphones also have inconsistent mid and treble delivery, and their small ear cup holes can affect their...

Sennheiser's most affordable NC headphones Sennheiser HD 450BT is a safe purchase.
Nice feeling of quality. Good sound and ok noise reduction. AAC and aptX support. USB-C charging.
Cannot be folded. A little uncomfortable. Too many confusing buttons.
To begin with the negative, the Sennheiser HD 450BT are large headphones that cannot be folded flat, which means that they take up space in the bag. There are also quite a few small buttons to keep track of, and the app does not add much. With that...

When it comes to quality audio, Sennheiser is one of those names that just stands out in a crowd. It makes excellent headphones, soundbars, earbuds, and even pro audio that people have trusted for years. And, the company's newest set of cans, the HD...
Good sound quality ; Very comfortable for on-ears ; Excellent battery life
Wonky controls ; Not the best noise canceling ; No auto-power options

Sennheiser's latest noise-cancelling headphones provide a compelling cheaper alternative to the Sony WH-1000XM3.
Fantastic sound Comfortable fit Decent noise cancellation
Flimsy build Soundstage could be more open
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the Sony WH-1000XM3, these Sennheiser cans are a great choice. With a fantastic sound, good noise cancellation, and a comfortable (and fully-foldable) fit, they’ll suit most commuters down to a tee.

Smooth, durable performers with typical Sennheiser appeal
Smooth, easy-listening balance ; Excellent battery life ; aptX Low Latency Bluetooth
Busy button layout ; Bass emphasis won’t suit all
While not class-leading performers in the competitive mid-range market, these well-featured Sennheisers are still worthy of consideration

We saw the Sennhesier HD450BT wireless headphones at CES, where they impressed with their well balanced sound.
Well-balanced sound Foldable design Support for aptX Low Latency
Build feels a little flimsy Soundstage could be wider
The Sennheiser HD 450BT headphones have been posed as a cheaper alternative to the Sony WH-1000XM3, and could be a savvy choice for anyone who wants the convenience of wireless noise cancellation, without having to pay over the odds. The sound quality...
Expert review by : Cam Bunton (pocket-lint.com)
You might think you need to spend upwards of £250 to get a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. Sennheiser is here to let you know that you don't
Lightweight and solid ; Comfortable to wear for long periods ; Great sound and reliable noise cancelling ; Very reasonable price
Poor button layout and features ; EQ customisation is restrictive
If you have a limited budget and want an all-round great pair of over ear headphones with noise cancelling, the Sennheiser HD 450BT is a truly compelling option. There are elements of compromise, but it's a great product for its price point.

The Sennheiser HD450BT wireless headphones come packed with plenty of high-end features, like noise cancellation.
