As a cheaper alternative

83% spec match of the AirPods Max 2

vs the Apple AirPods Max 2

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.

$249 less (45%) Ranked #9 of the AirPods Max 2 alternatives

79% spec match of the Sony WH-1000XM6

vs the Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Twice the battery - 60 hours with noise cancelling on against 30 - and a 42 mm driver against 30, for $160 less. Sennheiser publishes no weight, which is the one number the XM6 is proudest of.

83% spec match of the Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen

vs the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

Double the battery at 60 hours against 30, with the same case and cable, for $149 less. Sennheiser publishes no weight, so the 264 g of the QC Ultra goes unanswered.

What matters in noise-cancelling headphones

Noise cancelling is the headline, but everything in this class cancels noise well enough that it is rarely what decides. What separates these is what you notice after an hour: the weight sitting on your head, how many hours you get before the battery quits, and whether a pair will hold your laptop and your phone at the same time.
