Sennheiser seemed to not hate my review of their Ambeo soundbar and GSP670 gaming headset, realised I can’t so no to them because I’m a sucker for trying out new gadgets and sent me a pair of HD 350BT headphones<\/a> to try out.<\/p>\n The Sennheiser HD 350BT cans sell for $199 at Officeworks\/JB Hi-Fi, are designed to go over your ears, have Bluetooth 5.0 (with aptX low latency support) for wire-free goodness, there’s a buttons for controlling stuff, use USB-C for charging, have a smartphone app, there’s a built-in mic and fold up nice and compact. They’re supposed to last around 30 hours of active use and from the few weeks I’ve been using em, that’s not stretching the truth.<\/p>\n First question<\/strong> – do they sound good when listening to music?<\/em> In my non-audiophile opinion, they’re fine. My primary set of headphones is an old pair of Sennheiser HD-202 wired headphones. They cost me like $50 about a decade ago and they’re still going strong. The HD-202 sound better than the HD350BT, which isn’t what I’d expect for a $200 unit. I’m not sure how to describe it without sounding like a wanker, but the HD350BT lacks the clarity the HD-202 has.<\/p>\n
