Sennheiser HD1 Wireless Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
- I wasn\'t sure how to rate this product. 3 stars for me, but might be 4 stars for others. I will write this review as explicit as possible since I think people have different expectations from headphones. Spoiler: I had to return it with a deep sadness, and bought Sony WH1000x M2; I will explain three reasons in detail. However, to sum up, I have done my best to keep these pair of headphones with incredible sound quality. As I started using the product, I started to experience breaks in the Bluetooth connection (I have an LG-G5 phone), when I\'m walking in the street while my phone is in my back pocket. I did everything on my phone, including opening it and re-adjusting the Bluetooth antenna to increase the signal. It didn\'t work, I tried to use different Bluetooth speakers and headphones, I didn\'t experience the same problem. At that point, I wasn\'t sure if that was a defective item or the product was built that way, I replaced the item, in the second time, again, I experienced the same issues so I had to return it. I\'m really sorry that I couldn\'t use these headphones.Sound quality: 10/10I\'m a fan of the natural sound, with natural I mean hearing what the producer has made without any adjustment in the levels of frequencies, i.e. higher bass, lower mids etc. When I put these headphones on, I wanted to listen to everything I listened before since everything was super clear and natural, for the first time I could hear every instrument in detail, and in many songs, I found some details I\'ve missed. This is the first time I\'ve ever used a pair of headphones with this kind of a perfect sound quality.Active Noise Canceling: 8/10The active noise canceling works fine, it leaves a little hiss behind. It is a little less effective than Bose, however, there is no pressure on the eardrums. On the other hand, it doesn\'t isolate you completely from your surroundings so while walking, you can hear your surroundings slightly. This is not a really bad thing, however, I would like to have the ability to control ANC level through the app. I cannot say I didn\'t like the way it has worked but it was not the best I\'ve ever tried.Material quality: 10/10This might be one the most durable products in the market, all the material is extremely durable and shows high quality. The metal design with leather reminds me the nice pairs of headphones I used when I was a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s.Comfort: 3/10Having a decently smaller head than average, I rarely feel uncomfortable using headphones. However using these headphones for 7 hours straight I had a terrible headache because of the pressure on my temporal bones. The second issue was the size of the earcups. My ears are not the smallest but they are not too big either, however the earcups of the headphones are so small that they tightly cover your ears by kind of \"trapping\" them inside.This might not be the worst thing for using them for a short amount of time, however, the heating over the ears and discomfort feeling grows by time. Overall, if you are looking for comfort this is not a good choice.Wireless Connectivity: 2/10This is the real reason I returned these headphones. They work poorly with Bluetooth connection. When I experienced this problem, having tried everything I could, I contacted the customer support and got an answer I will put at the end. However, having a pair of Wireless headphones which doesn\'t work with Bluetooth connection steadily, this is kind of a big problem to me.P.S. Switched to Sony WH1000x M2, I haven\'t experienced any connectivity issues.Here is the answer by the customer support to my inquiry, please decide yourselves:\"Dear OzanThank you for contacting Sennheiser Technical Support.The most likely cause of consistent Bluetooth drop outs is a corrupted Bluetooth signal so delete the Bluetooth connection between the headphones and audio device, then turn off both the headphones and the audio device completely and then turn on both devices and re-establish the Bluetooth connection.If the above does not resolve the issue then it would need to be determined if the issue is the environment or one of the components that is causing the issue.The easiest way to test this is to take the headphones and audio source to a different location and test in that new environment. If the issue is not present in the new environment then that would indicate that the components are fine and the original environment (or something in the original environment) is the issue.If the issue is not environmental then it needs to be determined which component is the root cause of the issue. The easiest way to do this is to pair the headphones to an alternate device and preferably a device where audio is a primary function (ie: iPod, tablet or cell phone) rather than a secondary function (ie: computer). If the issue is not present on the alternate device that would indicate that the headphones are fine and the issue is with the original audio device and needs to be resolved there.If your phone is in your back pocket, see if moving it to the front or shirt pocket and see if it has better connection. The human body is mostly water, and water blocks Bluetooth transmission. Bringing the antennas closer together should improve connection.If the issue continues on the alternate audio device that could indicate an issue with the headphones and they would need to be assessed by a Service Technician.The majority of Sennheiser products have a two year warranty from original date of purchase.

I first thought my phone had problems, so I ran a series of tests with my other Bluetooth speakers, but none of them had a problem. Then I thought that product might be defective, so I requested a replacement for the unit. The replacement has arrived but the problem is not really solved. I still experience the breaks in the connections, if my phone is in my back pocket. If I put my phone in my front pocket I don\'t experience these problems. I love the sound signature of these headphones, the build quality, and the material is fantastic, but I really am disappointed as well. I wanted to reach out to you before I decide to return the product to let you know about these problems and ask you whether you are aware of these problems and if this is not a hardware related issue, whether you have any plans to fix it. Thanks.Sennheiser Electronic CorporationOne Enterprise DriveOld Lyme, Connecticut 06371,USA\"Personal opinion: If you\'re selling a pair of Bluetooth headphones and saying that our body is mostly water, it\'s just BS.Pairing and Other electronics: 10/10I couldn\'t make NFC work but I haven\'t tried hard as well, I really don\'t care about it that much, pairing via Bluetooth is already easy. I really liked how I could connect to my computer as a wired or USB headphones, even though I couldn\'t pair it via Bluetooth (which I didn\'t try hard as well), the microphone has a noise filtering system it\'s super nice to talk on the phone.Mobility: 7/10This pair has a carrying case and they are foldable. However, they don\'t become a really thin when they are folded. You need a decent space in your backpack if you want to carry these around. But still they are foldable and the carrying case is really nice.App (Android): 1/10I haven\'t seen any app this useless. You cannot use the eq settings if you\'re streaming music from Spotify or some other app. The app has no features to control the headphones, you need to have music downloaded on your phone to use it. Really, who is downloading music today? Even if I buy music, I stream it instead of downloading it and using my limited space.Design: 10/10This is a really stylish product, I really liked it. It completed my style, I really liked wearing them. Also, they almost look like they are saying \"Listening to music is a serious issue, wherever you are. Don\'t you think so?\" If you like retro style products, this is it.Overall, this is a nice pair of headphones, with the perfect sound quality, if you use it for short time periods, like a couple of hours, where your phone is somewhere visible, or you use a wired connection. They are not really wireless headphones because of the connectivity issues, I would change the product name as \"Wired headphones with a wireless option\". I really miss the sound quality of it but I needed a comfortable, and a wireless headset with slight adjustability.
- Just got these and running them through their paces and WOW, these are fantastic. I listen to headphones at work a good 3 hours per day and have been making do with wired earbuds forever. I have been considering an upgrade to some quality wireless headphones for a while but just couldn\'t justify the expense. This past week at work a construction crew started using a jackhammer all day every day in one of the levels of the parking deck where I like to go on walks for my breaks and I decided to either accept the fact that I can no longer hear anything through my headphones on my breaks or I need to upgrade.Setup was a breeze, I decided to try the NFC pairing and it worked immediately with no hassle. The construction of these headphones is wonderful, the materials used all seem like the best of the best. I didn\'t even realize leather existed that is as soft as the ear cups on these. I was concerned that they would look enormous on my head but they are really a perfect size. These headphones are really comfortable in my opinion, I don\'t feel a lot of pressure or pinching against my head or ears. Wearing these headphones for several hours would not be a problem at all for me.This is my first pair of headphones with noise cancellation, I put them on and could hear the ac running, ceiling fan spinning, traffic driving on the main road at the end of the block, and the refrigerator compressor running, turned the headphones on and BAM, absolute silence, I had to take them off for a second to make sure those sounds were actually still there. I did notice a slight pressure in my ear when the noise cancellation turned on, I had always heard that happens but it is very slight and after a minute or so I don\'t even notice it anymore. I have heard that some other headphones from Bose and Sony have superior noise cancellation but to me I can\'t really imagine needing or wanting more noise cancellation than provided by these HD1s, it\'s really remarkable.The best part is the sound quality, I wouldn\'t consider myself to be a true audiophile by any means but I do play Violin and listen to music constantly and notice subtle differences in sound better than most I think. I took a second to mess with my phone to make sure it was using the aptX bluetooth audio codec (turns out my phone did this automatically when connecting to these headphones) to ensure the best possible quality and then started listening to a variety of music. I played a couple tracks from LED Zeppelin, Paganini, MGMT and Kavinski. All sounded really amazing, I could practically hear saliva bubbles in Robert Plants mouth popping as he took a breath between words in stairway to heaven. Bass is great without being over the top, highs were good but wont make you cringe or wince when they get way up there, the mids are really really wonderful, pretty much perfect. I haven\'t messed around with trying to create a custom EQ yet through the app, I\'m told this is something that is possible, but almost don\'t even see the point. I\'m stepping up from a thirty dollar pair of ear buds so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I was but for me the experience of listening to music through these headphones makes me want to go back and listen to every song I have ever listened to before to pick out more of the subtle differences that were simply not present in my old headphones. I even prefer the sound from these to my four piece Sonos speaker system in my living room but that\'s not really comparing apples to apples.The only possible negative that may exist is that these headphones don\'t get super loud. I typically listen to my music slightly louder than most people I think and find the optimal volume on these to be about 75% maybe a hair more which is fine for me but some of my friends like to listen to very loud music, I think even at the highest volume these headphones might be a little less volume than they would like.**update: I had read a few reviews complaining about bluetooth skipping out occasionally. The bluetooth connection works fine at work and around my house, just went and walked the dogs with the headphones and there were a few times that the music skipped a little, I have heard this has something to do with bluetooth needing surfaces to reflect its signal off of and in an open outdoor area sometimes there just aren\'t enough surfaces. I\'m not sure if this is common to all bluetooth headsets and I read somewhere that it can be mitigated by putting your phone in an armband where it has a more direct line of sight to the headphones as opposed to your pocket. For me this was a pretty minor annoyance and usually I don\'t wear headphones when I\'m outside because I like to hear what\'s going on around me but this may be something to consider if you plan on wearing them outdoors regularly.
