Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC vs Bose QuietComfort 25

vs

How big is the difference between wired and wireless headphones? I am going to show you by the example of Bose QuietComfort 25 vs Sennheiser HD 4.50. They are closed back and have an over-ear wearing style. But the first device has to be used only with an audio cable, while the other one works without a wire.

Features

The sensitivity of Sennheiser HD 4.50 is 113 dB and its impedance is 18 Ohm. Another important thing to mention is the frequency response which is 18 Hz - 22 kHz. If you are looking for headphones with voice control, both of these would be a good choice as they have Siri and Google Assistant support. Using Sennheiser HD 4.50, you also will have Bluetooth, aptX, and NFC.

Let's talk about their battery type. Sennheiser HD 4.50 vs Bose QuietComfort 25 has a rechargeable battery that lasts 19 hours. But another device`s battery is AAA and it works 36 hours.

Sound

Listening to music with any of these headphones will be a pleasure as they both have a noise-canceling option. But in the case with Sennheiser HD 4.50 the level of NC can be adjusted. The strong suit of these headphones is clarity.

Bose QuietComfort 25 has a pretty deep bass. The mid-range is really great. The tones are warm, thanks to the little bumps in those low-mids.

Comfort and design

A detachable cable comes with each of the devices and has a length of 140 cm. The considered headphones have an adjustable headband. Another fact which makes them a profitable purchase is a carry case which you get with these appliances. The owners of Bose QuietComfort 25 have to use in-line control, whilst Sennheiser HD 4.50 has built-in buttons. The situation with a microphone is similar since the first appliance has an in-line microphone and the second pair of headphones — a built-in one.
