As a AirPods Max 2 alternative
Three times the battery: 60 hours with noise cancelling on, against 20. A 42 mm driver where Apple publishes no size at all, a case and a cable in the box, and $249 less. Sennheiser does not publish a weight, so the number that most separates these two is unproven rather than won.
