2.0 out of 5 starsSo bad I didn't even expect

Hello dear reader.
First will be my experience, to describe you what I used to and what we can compare with.
I use TWS realme air buds 2. They are brilliant: perfect and deep sound, great bass and all is good for me.
But during my work, I need to use them for a long time, so my internal plug earphones for such period is not good for health of ears.
So I decided to buy full sized, over-ear headphones, as I used before. It was Philips bass+ shb3175bk. They were also very good, but I wanted something more. Like active noice cancellation and better acoustic characteristics.
Now about this product.
I picked HD 450BT. I had only 2 parameters: budget and brand. I thought BRAND will solve all my expectations. Sennheiser for me meant quality, sound perfection and all things, that other manufacturers should take as excellent example.
Oh, guys, you should now how much I WAS DISAPPOINTED.
Bass felt like it was castrated. It feels like it should be there, but you fell the hole in that place.
Loudness in that big headphones is... not enough. I have clear ears, regularly checking my hearing, but I really want sometimes to increase the volume above maximum of this headphones. Because it is more quiet than my TWS.
THE MOST weird thing is: when I join any conversation, like zoom or meet.google, etc. They began to use mic and headphones turns in transparent mode. How nice it is. Instead of listening conversation online I hear every sound from my surround. And of course I hear myself. My own words are mirrored in my ears by the headphones. Whyyyyy.
The main problem is: you can't turn it off!
When I clicked the button “mode switch”, it gives sound of switching, but nothing happens. I couldn’t imagine how much little noises can play this headphones. Like my hands move or how I breathe!
All the noises comes in my hear.
So this is my experience with Sennhaiser’s “not cheap” headphones, that works like they cost ten times less.
Oh, I’m so glad that I didn’t picked momentum series. They have the same drivers. Not neodim magnets! When every competitor have it.
I’m so glad, that amazon agreed for return, my big Like for that. Now I will pick another “ears”. Maybe Sony. But never Sennhaiser.
Summary: don’t trust this brand. Check every characteristic. I hope this is just one bad configured headphones. But my time and money are important for me. Thanks to amazon I can pick another one.
