First and foremost, the noise cancellation on the HD 4.40 is a game-changer. It creates a tranquil listening environment, allowing me to escape into my music or podcasts without being disturbed by external noises. Whether I'm on a busy commute or in a bustling coffee shop, the active noise cancellation effectively drowns out the surrounding sounds, providing a cocoon of serenity.
Now, let's talk about the bass – it's nothing short of sensational. The depth and richness of the low frequencies add a whole new dimension to my music. Whether I'm into bass-heavy genres like hip-hop or electronic music, or just enjoying the thump of a well-produced beat, the HD 4.40 delivers a satisfying punch without overpowering the overall sound profile.
Comfort is another standout feature. The over-ear design and plush ear cushions make for a comfortable fit during extended listening sessions. The headphones sit snugly without causing any discomfort, and the adjustable headband ensures a personalized fit.
The build quality is excellent, as expected from Sennheiser. The materials used feel durable, and the sleek design exudes a sense of sophistication. The foldable design is a practical touch, making these headphones easy to stow away in the included carrying case for on-the-go convenience.
Wireless functionality is seamless, and the Bluetooth connection is robust. I appreciate the convenience of not dealing with tangled wires, and the battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted listening pleasure.
In terms of affordability, the HD 4.40 offers fantastic value for the features it provides. It competes admirably with higher-priced models in terms of both noise cancellation and bass performance.
In conclusion, the Sennheiser HD 4.40 headphones have exceeded my expectations. The combination of stellar noise cancellation, powerful bass, comfort, and build quality make them a top choice in their category. If you're in the market for headphones that deliver an exceptional audio experience without breaking the bank, the HD 4.40 is a clear winner.
So this might be a weird mix-up of comparisons, but's to it's what I have listened to.
Compared to the Sennheiser 429, the sound is definitely more towards the bass side, giving the headphones a more feeling in my opinion. They definitely feel more rugged than the 429's, and the fold-able design makes these much better for travel. Also, for anyone that is on the fence about going bluetooth, these are a great option! I love being wireless. I believe that it is indeed worth the $50 jump up from the 4.30 to go to the wireless 4.40. The sound both wired and bluetooth is fantastic on these headphones.
I bought the Sennheiser Urbanite XL wireless (and returned them) before buying these. It might be my head size, but the Urbanite XL's did not fit me at all. I gave them a little while, but the circular shape of the pads was just a horrible fit on my ears. The Urbanite XL was so small -- or my ears are just so big -- that the top and bottom of my ear were uncomfortably squished against the side of my head. The diameter of the Urbanite XL's is about the same as the minor diameter on the 4.40. The 4.40 still pushes down on my earlobes a little bit, but there is so much padding that I can barely notice. The Urbanite and 4.40 have rather comparable sound in my opinion. I am not the biggest audiophile though.
The Beats Studio Wireless and the Sennheiser 4.40 have rather different sounds. They are both comfortable, but I think the Senny's have a more crisp, less muddled sound.
In summary, Pros:
-Great sound
-Comfortable
-Good, reliable bluetooth connection
-Rugged plastic build
-Can be used if the battery dies
-Long battery life
-Good passive noise isolation
Cons:
-The super comfortable, copious amount of padding does make these headphones stick out on my head a lot. Not a problem with getting in the way, but some people might not like the look
-The next/previous track button clicks in to answer calls and do other functions. Easy to function, but the clicking in part made me feel like the switch is loose. But I quickly got used to the button scheme.

La calidad de audio es impresionante destacando mucho sus bajos que son espectaculares, en Windows destacan mucho sobretodo activando la función de sonido espacial y en Android si el teléfono cuenta con soporte APTX.
En cuanto a comfort es muy bueno, pesan poco y las almohadillas están muy bien acolchadas, he llegado a estar alrededor de 5h seguidas con ellos puestos y sin ningún problema. Quizas la aureola al principio por su diseño molesta un poco pero con el tiempo te acostumbras a ella.
La batería es mas que excelente con 3-4h de uso diario solo tengo que cargarlos una vez a la semana y a pesar de llevar ya un año con ellos no noto degradación alguna de la vida de la batería y en caso de que se agote el añadido del cable es de gran ayuda ya que permiten utilizarlos incluso con la batería a 0, eso sí ni el micrófono ni los botones funcionan con el cable.
La cancelación de ruido a pesar de ser pasiva es muy buena, he llegado a usarlos en zonas bastante bulliciosas y aún así han enmascarado bastante bien el sonido. He de añadir que a pesar de tener las orejas bastante grandes me caben perfectamente dentro de la almohadilla.
Y por último la construcción es una maravilla, son muy solidos y resistentes, el peso está muy bien equilibrado y el diseño es excelente, literalmente he tenido cascos que costaban más del doble y daban la sensación de ser mucho mas baratos que estos.
Sin duda una de las mejores compras que he hecho nunca, y los recomiendo encarecidamente a todo aquel que busque unos auriculares de calidad con un precio contenido ya que seguro sobrepasarán sus expectativas y por mucho.
EDIT: I forgot to mention a few things, will add them in.
Phew, I have a lot to say about these headphones, so buckle up.
Let's start with the build quality. Now, a lot of reviewers have said that the ear pads are small. That is true, however, I find them to be sufficiently comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I have a slightly larger than average ear size for both women and men, at about 60-65 mm tall and I believe 35-40 mm wide. My ears are very comfortable height-wise, but the way these headphones are designed, they envelope the back on your ear, and if your ears are especially wide, they press onto your tragus. So for me, that's the point of discomfort, but I'm more than happy with the overall comfort to compromise giving my ear breaks every now and then. The headphones will also press against your lobule, but usually that's the softest part of the ear so you likely won't feel the pressure. My earrings hang out on the bottom and while it looks a bit silly, it doesn't affect comfort at all. The ear pads are made of a very soft material, and the memory foam is fantastic. The only comment here is that the pads do get oily, but it's easy to wipe them clean. The headband at the top that touches your hair is made of rubber, and it's minimal padding, but it's very wide and should fit everyone fine. The headphones are light too, so unless you have a very sensitive head you won't notice the weight. With this design, the headphones are a bit loose, so not good for exercise, but they won't fall off your head even if you lean forward. You'll have to shake your head pretty violently for them to fall off, the rubber does a great job of sticking to your hair and the ear pads are essentially holding on to your ears. You can also hear your hair rub against the pads, a little annoying but not too bad. The hinges did creak when I first got them, but after some use they seem to have stopped. Overall, solid build quality, headphones seem to be made very well and has no visible defects or weak points. They look beautiful with the minimalist design. They're small enough that you can comfortable wear them around your neck as well. The included cables are acceptable, the charging cable is higher quality than the 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable, which is honestly flimsy, but it doesn't really matter because I probably won't use them unless the Bluetooth breaks (knock on wood, hopefully won't happen for a long, long time).
Next, let's talk about the Bluetooth. So first thing, NFC and Bluetooth pairing are both extremely simple and easy to use. Once they're paired, using them is painless. It pairs quickly with no extra work on my end, and the range is great for my uses. No complaints. The only thing to note is if you're using them on more than one device, for me I've had a few glitches. Things such as EQ not working, or not being able to use the headset in Skype calls. I had to reset the pairing history by turning them on pairing mode and holding the multifunction and power button for a few seconds. That fixed all my issues, and I haven't had issues since. EQ stays working once it's paired, but I always make sure to check it when I've just turned them on, because sometimes it connects so quickly my phone doesn't realize it. Turning Bluetooth off and on on my phone usually solves the problem. But do note that this might just be my phone and not the headphones, I'm just putting this out there in case anyone is having the same issue. Now on to the buttons and functions on the headset, I find them very easy and intuitive to use. I like them very much and have no complaints. They work on an app-to-app basis, and it basically links to whatever app you're playing sound through. For example, if I'm using them on my music player I can use the function buttons to skip, pause, fast forward, etc, but once I switch to Youtube, then the buttons affect Youtube. If I want to go back to my music player, I have to manually play music first before the functions switch to my player. Not a problem, really, just something to note if you're wondering why your function buttons aren't working. I think it's a genius implementation, considering all the Bluetooth gear I have used link to only the phone's default music player, which is a disadvantage because I don't always like using my default player. Watching videos is acceptable, there is a slight delay and it's barely noticeable, doesn't bother me at all.
Alright, next, let's talk about my setup. If you've read this far, congratulations! Thank you for reading, and I hope my review is helpful. I always make a point to write extensive review for headphones, because it's my hobby after all (audiophile but not audiophool I hope) so I am decently versed in audio quality. I'm running this off my android phone, with aptX installed(I am also a techie so I took advantage of the aptX compatibility and flashed that onto my custom ROM). They sound good even without the codec, but I do recommend you have an aptX compatible device to use the headphones to its fullest potential. I've also installed BlackPlayer, because my default audio player crackles and pops when playing higher quality files (I'm playing mp3 files at 320kbps, ripped from CDs). And before anyone asks, yes there is an audible difference between 128kbps and 320kbps, but it's not obvious on all songs. Some songs sound fine at 128kbps, others sound significantly better at higher qualities. I didn't bother getting flacs because they take up too much space and I can't discern the difference normally, much less when I'm on-the-go. So if you're ripping music, 128kbps to 320kbps would be fine. I'm also using my phone's EQ (since BlackPlayer's EQ isn't compatible with my device) because there's a harshness on the upper-mids at about 1kHz that hurts my ears. Without EQ, my ears get tired fairly quickly, and I cannot listen for longer than half an hour. I highly recommend EQ'ing these headphones lower. I don't usually like to use EQ, but with these headphones I have to, so I tried to change it the least possible: -3db at about 1kHz and around 10% virtualization, which isn't noticeable on the majority of songs, but make certain instruments such as the guitar sound a bit more natural. I'm also not a huge mid-bass fan (the thump), but my EQ can't tone that down so the amount of bass is subject to your preference.
And finally, sound quality. They're good. Very good. For the price point, I've more than satisfied, and I don't mind having to EQ it to get it to the right setting, especially because for me, everything is higher than what I normally prefer, so it's very easy to EQ it down. If I had to EQ it up I wouldn't be happy, but in this case we're good. Bass is high in quality and both quantity. Mids are decent in quality, upper mids should be EQ'd down. Treble is fine, but I prefer my treble to be a bit subdued so if you're a fan of Beyers you might not be happy. Call quality is acceptable, callers can understand me just fine, though obviously the quality is nowhere near how good music sounds with them.
All and all, I like them. I like them a lot. I finally have a portable setup I can use whenever I want to, doing whatever I want to as well, because it's so easy to transport and use. Sound quality is superb for the price, it costs less than 20% of my normal setup and sounds at least 50% as good. Last thing to note is that if you're looking for absolute silence, this isn't the headphone for you because even though it isolates sound to an acceptable level, they're not perfectly quiet. Otherwise, I cannot recommend them enough if they fit your use case.
TL;DR:
Pros:
+ comfortable but your mileage may vary
+ stays on your head but not good for exercise
+ very portable and folds in either side
+ beautiful minimalist look
+ strong Bluetooth connection, easy pairing
+ multifunction buttons work on an app-to-app basis
+ aptX compatible
+ latency is barely noticeable, I can watch videos with no complaints
+ can comfortably wear around neck
Cons:
- pads can get oily but easy to wipe clean
- hinges might creak and make squeaky noises until you break them in
- you can hear your hair rub against the pads, little annoying but not too horrible
- needs EQ if your ears are sensitive like mine, -3db at 1kHz should do it, % virtualization is optional
- quality and quantity of bass is high. sub-bass (the rumble) is almost too much, but the mid-bass (the thump) is slightly too much for my ears. Is technically more of a pro since EQ down is better than EQ up.
- not that isolating, should be fine for commutes but you will likely hear quiet background noise
- might have to buy hard case, soft case included is nice but not very protective
- call quality is okay, decent for phone calls
- audible hiss on quiet tracks
Dès le moment où je les ai tenus dans ma main, ils se sont sentis comme de la qualité avec un design simple et discret.
Dès le moment où je les ai mis, ils se sont sentis à l'aise. Ils restent en place malgré le fait que je penche la tête vers l'avant pendant que je prends des notes au téléphone - ils restent aussi en place pendant les travaux ménagers - ils ne changent pas du tout.
Cependant, la qualité audio (en conjonction avec mon iPhone) est fantastique. J'entends ma musique avec des oreilles fraîches - j'entends des nuances que je n'entendais pas avant. J'entends les instruments individuels qui sont joués. C'est merveilleux. Je pense que la qualité est meilleure avec Bluetooth qu'avec le câble audio - peut-être parce que le convertisseur analogique-numérique dans les écouteurs est meilleur que celui de mon iPhone.
Bien que le microphone soit intégré à l'une des oreillettes, la qualité du son sortant est également bonne.
La portée Bluetooth est également bonne - je peux me déplacer dans tout mon (petit) appartement en laissant le téléphone derrière moi sans problème d'abandon ou de qualité. Je n'ai eu aucun problème pour apparier et basculer entre mes iPhones et mon iPad.
Les commandes sont faciles à utiliser - elles sont toutes sur le côté droit autour de la jante pour que vous puissiez les utiliser avec votre pouce droit.
La seule préoccupation, c'est que celles-ci ne sont pas des antibruit - la version antibruit en valait peut-être la peine après tout, mais je vais devoir les porter dans d'autres trains et d'autres avions pour prendre une décision à ce sujet. De plus, si vous utilisez le câble audio (par exemple dans un avion), les commandes de l'oreillette ne sont pas transmises à l'iPhone.
Dans l'ensemble, je suis ravi de ces produits et je suis tellement heureux de les avoir choisis.
Ho comprato questo modello di cuffie Sennheiser HD 4.40 per mio fratello.
Le sue richieste erano quelle di una cuffia comoda all'orecchio e che avesse una buona resa di suono e devo dire che le aspettative che avevo per questo modello non sono state deluse dopo essermi informato un pò.
Inclusa nella confezione ci si trova il classico cavetto USB per la ricarica,il cavo jack audio per l'attacco diretto alla sorgente audio e un comodo sacchetto per il trasporto.
Collegamento via bluetooth facilissimo e velocissimo grazie al pratico pulsante sul fianco di uno dei padiglioni(dalla parte della presa di ricarica ).Comodo il pulsante del volume del volume direttamente sulla cuffia.
La resa del suono è davvero eccellente , non eccede in bassi che possono dare un po fastidio,ho visto un paio di filmati da you tube e ne ho testato l'audio...sono rimasto sorpreso.....l'ho collegata poi all'xbox e ho giocato a Battlefield 5 ..niente male davvero..
🏁 VALUTAZIONE
PRO
- La cuffia è leggera e maneggevole , non è troppo rigida una volta messa in testa perchè grazie alla sua elasticità si adatta benissimo .
- I padiglioni sono molto comodi , la pelle di rivestimento è morbida e non crea fastidio anche dopo 2 ore di musica e video( con alcune cuffie le orecchie vanno a fuoco).
- L' estendibilità delle aste dei padiglioni permette anche alle teste piu o meno grandi(come la mia) del normale di montare queste cuffie .
- La durata della batteria sembra promettere bene e la distanza che copre dalla sorgente è davvero buona.
- Suono oltre le aspettative ,davvero ottimo.
-Facile connettività
CONTRO
-Il PREZZO- può risultare altino per una cuffia,ma se la trovate a sconto è da prendere in considerazione.
In definitiva posso concludere che è un valido prodotto,con delle buone caratteristiche e materiali a primo impatto resistenti,ad un prezzo forse non troppo accessibile ma con una buona resa in termini di comodità e suono.
