Are these headphones good?

Hello!


I want to get some new wireless headphones and the Sennheiser HD 4.40BT caught my attention (i'm not from the US or Canada so my options are rather limited).

 

Does anyone here have ever tried them? Are they good? (I'm not actually looking for audiophile grade) I'll mostly be using on my cellphone (music mostly) and on PC (games, YouTube, also music)

Also, if the battery is dead can I just continue using them with the wired connection?

 

Thanks for the answers!

I have them. Very nice. Sounds good, feel good, good battery life. You can use them wired when the battery is dead.

 

 

Highly recommended.

Yeah those are pretty good headphones. Sound pretty good and yes, you can use a wired connection if the battery runs out. Works great for your purpose of listening to music. It's a great set of headphones, pairs great, and the mics are also okay on it

Thanks for the answers! I'm glad that they sound good, and specially glad that I can use them wired when the battery runs out, so many wireless headphones don't even have this option.

 

I'm getting them in the next few days probably

hard to go wrong with sennheiser. have me a pc37x with a schiit fulla 3 dac/amp. great setup

I have some wired in ear Sennheiser (don't remember the model) and they sound pretty good, so I was drawn to senheiser naturally (there some JBL that seemed good but more expensive)

I own the 4.40 which are like the 4.50 without the ANC. for a $100 they sound pretty ok. they are pretty deak headphones the bass is nice and punchy the mids sound abit pulled back behind the lower frequencies and the treble is sometime non existent. the bt range is pretty great. separation soundstage could be better.  and it could go louder it maxes out to a nice listening level but if your communitng the ANC is definitely a plus. th ebuild quality is pretty great pretty solid. and the pads can fit small but they are very plush and to my ears quite comfy
