The new dongle is slightly cheaper! Have you had any contact with Sennheiser Technical Support? When I spoke to B&O last year, the only dongle they had tested with their headphones was Creative BT-W3 and didn't have any experience of the BT-W4 or BT-W5. Ideally, MacBook Pros would come with...

It was much worse after the firmware update! I have decided to sent it back to Amazon and order a new BTD 600, which I will keep with its original firmware. In the meantime, my Sennheiser Momentum 4 are working perfectly with the Creative BT-W5 on my MacBook Pro. Not the same audio quality...

Thanks - it has updated my BTD 600 from firmware 1.14 to 1.20. Amazed how you managed to find this on the Sennheiser website when all the links I found were useless. I have just factory reset my H95 to delete any Bluetooth pairings and did a factory reset on the BTD 600 for good measure. I'll...

I have just checked the Sennheiser Website page for the BTD 600. There is no sign of any firmware updates on the download page https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-UK/download/ and the dedicated page for BTD 600 updates gives a 404 error! https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/btd-600/ I...

I received a set of Sennheiser Moment 4 Wireless headphones to review for Amazon Vine, earlier this week. For the money, I was impressed by the sound quality, especially when paired with the BTD 600 dongle. There was no point in comparing with the H95s as they are in a different price bracket...

Very pleased to say that after a week of testing the BTD 600, I am delighted with the result! No more crackle and pops on my MacBook Pro and the volume is better. I still have some moments when the sound just disappears. Switching to the iPad Pro gives a better listening experience with no...

Have just ordered the BTD 600 from Amazon - I'll test it against the BT-W4 and W5 and let you know how I get on. The joy of listening to CDs instead of vinyl was freedom from pops and clicks, especially with quiet piano music. Let's hope Sennheiser have the solution

That is an idea. I do have a mini-PC that is not doing anything at the moment. It might be a perfect option for AptX HD given the problems with my MacBook and I could download iTunes for Windows for access to my Apple Music Lossless audio files. Once I have finished testing the W4 vs the W5...

I have had very similar issues with my BT-W5 and H95 - great sound quality but very annoying crackles and pops. I spoke to B&O technical support but they say that the only adapter that they have tested with the H95 is the BT-W3 and cannot comment on the BT-W5. I seem to have lost my BT-W3...

Thanks for clarifying the specs on the MDR-Z1R! I'll hang a stocking up on December 24th but have a feeling that Santa doesn't read this Forum! Good luck in finding the right Bluetooth headphones - very interested to know what you think of the Focal Bathys, especially as they are designed and...

I am sure that the Sony MDR-Z1R have incredibly sound quality, especially if paired with a top quality source and DAC. However, with the headphones alone costing £1650, they are twice the price of the H95 so not comparable. They were beyond my budget so I didn't audition them plus I needed a...

I have had my H95 for a couple of years. Whilst I have tried using them via the USB or via an external DAC, I love the freedom of wireless headphones, particularly whilst working at my computer so have concentrated on optimising their performance via Bluetooth. Pro Top quality materials...

Beautiful looking headphones, with a lovely Ferrari logo, red stripe and red coloured grille. But, at £1,149, that's quite a large mark up above the £879 for my triple black H95, unless you are a Ferrari owner in which case the extra £270 doesn't really matter. That's nothing compared to the...

I have tried many different things to obtain a clean Bluetooth signal from my 2021 MacBook Pro but still have problems when using any of the Creative Bluetooth transmitters (BT-W3, BT-W4 or BT-W5). However, it is a completely different story when using my iPad Pro which has a USB-C port. I...

It’s more about functionality! they recently updated the Creative App and I found that the output from my BT-W4 to the H95 was rated as Low Latency, with no option to change this. I upgraded to the W5 and found that the app now gives me the option to change latency.

The BT-W5 (and BT-W4) have a companion app from Creative which works really well on my MacBook. They also do a Windows version. It’s perfect if you are colour blind as it spells out in black and white what is happening to the dongle rather than trying to work out what colour is being displayed...

I use the BT-W4 via the USB-C sockets on my MacBook Pro 16" 2021 and iPad Pro 12.9" 2021. The only issue is that I have to make sure the H95 does not try to also connect via Bluetooth AAC as this interferes horribly with the AptX Adaptive connection. The easiest option was to "forget" the H95...

Definitely - he is sponsored by Bang and Olufsen who even sell limited edition speakers with his signature. https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/gb/story/alonso-collaboration I'm sure they would sound even better if he wasn't wearing a woolly hat under the earpads!

The Creative BTW3 dongle only supports 16/48 output so I upgraded to the BTW4 in July. At the time it was frustrating as the new companion app that was developed for the BTW4 was only available for Windows. They have now released a version for Mac which I have just downloaded. It is really...

Creative

Agreed. It really shows the difference in quality between HD tracks on Amazon Music and the same music played via Spotify. Hopefully Spotify HiFi will finally arrive this year and I’ll finally be able to enjoy their excellent choice of music heard to its full potential via my H95s.

Thanks - really interesting review! All three companies make amazing products so I am sure it is worth auditioning all three headphones to see which works best for you if you are planning to purchase bearing in mind the strengths and weaknesses mentioned. However, having already bought my H95...

I have used the BT-W4 to watch many movies on my iPad Pro on Netflix and Prime Video and haven't noticed any lag between spoken dialogue and video. I should be a great match for a PS5, although I don't have any experience of using my H95 with video games.

Have just spent a happy half-hour reading many interesting pages about my favourite H95 headphones, which I have had the pleasure of owning since April 2021, after they passed a long term test against Apple AirPods Max. As a MacBook and iPad Pro user, I was keen to see if there was a way to use...
