@Sennheiser can you develop a ANC closed back headphone based on the dimensions of the HD600 or even the HD598 etc. with USB-C. I and I think many others would love the larger style headphone which envelop the ears.

The pictures indicate that they are around-the-ears already.

@Sennheiser Would be great to have a model of the bluetooth around the neck cable with MMCX connection so it can be used in multiple earphones. We miss a Sennheiser quality level product in this area.

 

[Brooko]

Whats the noise cancelling like? On the same level as Bose or Sony?

 

[actorlife]

I'm might be in for the 350. Will wait for reviews. Love my 58x.

 

[dweaver]

I like my 4.50btnc so if the HD450BT is an update to it it might be a good upgrade.

 

[C_Lindbergh]

Will any of the headphones have multi point connection?

What about a wired flagship?

What about a wired flagship?

Are you aware that Axel Grell left the company? I wouldn’t expect a new HD800 or 820 for a while.

Yes I'm know that but are you telling me sennheiser aren't interesting in hiring a new audiophile portfolio manager or even using axel grell still as a consultant? I find that hard to believe. It appears more likely they are just focusing on the mainstream wireless market from now on. High end will probably be a second thought, the same happened to many other big brands that started it all.

We do still have several highly qualified acoustics engineers that formerly operated under/alongside Mr. Grell, and Mr. Grell still performs consulting for us.

There is still room for higher fidelity wireless as the technology has improved greatly as of late, and of course we will continue developing products for every budget.

Unrelated question for everyone, but we would love to hear feedback and impressions: where are the best/favorite places to buy headphones? Where would you look for a high-end headphone?

 

[dweaver]

High end stuff is almost impossible to find in a store. In Calgary the only store I know of is K&W Audio. Some of the more consumer oriented stuff is available at Bestbuy here is Canada. The other option is maybe Long and McQuade.

Otherwise I use online services like Amazon or Headphonebar here in Canada.

You're right, but it'll be a tight fit one.
He calls out for more space in the cups for larger ears, i think. So i do also.
The headphones above looks like tight fitted like the AT-Msr7, or similar.

I know that larger wireless headphones will be a bit bulky for mobile use, but wireless headphones are tending to get hot faster.
More space around is highly appreciated.

Will HD 350 BT be an good upgrade to BT 4.40? I am looking for a new pair, and I like how these this whole lineup fits me.
