I bought these headphones to replace my Sony XBB950B1 headphones which broke recently. True, the Sony XB950B1 headphones came with heavy bass while the Sennheiser HD 450BT was design for more accurate sound and less bass. However, the bass and loudness on the Sennheiser HD 450BT's is massively weaker in comparison. The Sennheiser HD 450BT are not a good replacement for my Sony headphones. It is almost a night and day situation. Both headphones have their weaknesses and strengths. The Sennheiser HD 450 BT is more durable and offers noise cancelation. They come with a carrying case and can be folded up for easy transport. My old Sony headphones had none of these features. Comfort of the Sennheiser HD 450BT is tight and can be uncomfortable for long periods of time. The Sony headphones were more comfortable but had a larger profile.
At the end of the day, I am rebuying the Sony XB95B1 as my primary pair of headphones and keeping the Sennheiser HD450BT as my secondary pair of headphones. The Sony XB95B1 are not good for workouts or for walking around the house. The Sennheiser HD450BT are much better if you are on the move doing other things while listing to music. So now I have two different types of wireless headphones doing two different jobs for me.
The Sennheiser HD 450BT headphones would have been perfect if it were one or two levels louder and had richer bass. Also comfort needs to be improved.
