amazon Sennheiser HD 250BT Bluetooth Headphones reviews
Sennheiser HD 250BT – In the past few years, when mobile games have ascended the throne with many high-quality games in terms of both graphics and content, while modern phones are gradually … “ignoring” the end. With the familiar 3.5mm connection, many users have to “grove” to find a “suitable” wireless headset.
Facing this situation, traditional headphone manufacturers are also very responsive when launching a series of new generation wireless headset models to meet the constantly increasing needs of users. Sennheiser, one of the best Top names from Germany, is also not out of the game.
The giant in the technology village has just recently launched a wireless headset model Sennheiser HD 250BT with many elements inheriting its legendary line of Sennheiser HD25 headphones before with many changes to keep up with the trend times.
It must be said that in today’s world of colorful Bluetooth headphones, On-Ear or Over-Ear earphones often provide a better sound experience. Still, mobile users often choose earphones, even true wireless headphones, because they are neat, easy to carry, and above all lightweight, easy to wear on the ear for a long time.
But if you meet the Sennheiser HD 250BT Bluetooth headset model, you will feel the difference.
It must be said that although it is also “boxed” in a large shell with a blue-white two-color design commonly found on Sennheiser products, but right from the first time holding the headset box in hand, the writer was impressed with the “lightness” of this wireless headset.
Sennheiser HD 250BT “inherits” many design elements of the legendary Sennheiser HD25 version of headphones, such as the On-Ear design with two small drivers, thick ear cushions in terms of physical appearance, and the same frame transparent plastic connecting the two ears.
But thanks to the new generation of plastic materials, Sennheiser can make this frame very thin, compact, and extremely light, but still offers remarkable elasticity and durability. It does not break when bent with force as great as its rather “slender” appearance.
Thanks to this advanced design and materials, the headset weighs only 125g, less than half of the high-end version of the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 wireless headset and less than a third gaming headset model. Sennheiser GSP 670, the lightest among Bluetooth headsets available on the market today.
So users can completely use the headset for a long time without causing neck fatigue or ear fatigue like most common large headphones.
The two earbuds can be adjusted to a large size, suitable for many different face sizes. This wireless headset can still give you a comfortable wearing position with a comfortable level of pressure, enough to cover your ears, providing an acceptable level of physical sound insulation.
That is also an advantage that Sennheiser HD 250BT “inherits” from the elder version of the Sennheiser HD25 headset, which is used for DJs working in noisy environments, or for listening to music entertainment on business class seats of the company commercial flights of Lufthansa airline in the 70s of the last century.
The ear cushions are made of a new generation of artificial leather material, which has many advantages such as smoothness, softness, no skin irritation, and better sound insulation than imitation leather materials commonly seen a few years ago. Although there are many advantages in terms of physical contact and creating an impressive soundproof space, this type of artificial skin also causes a feeling of suffocation and heat.
In this respect, ASUS’s solution of using hybrid fabric and artificial leather ear cushions on the ASUS ROG Delta gaming headset seems more reasonable given the weather conditions in South Asia.
Conducting practical testing, Sennheiser HD 250BT connects easily with today’s smartphones through the energy-saving Bluetooth 5.0 connection standard.
With iPhone phones, users only have one choice of AAC codecs, while with Android phones, users can take advantage of advanced codecs with latency as low as AptX Low Latency, AptX HD, or LDAC in addition to the standard SBC codec.
Thanks to these codes, the experience of listening to music and watching movies on the phone are extremely smooth, with low latency that is almost barely noticeable.
However, for those extremely observant, fast action games always show a degree of lag with a very short time. So the Sennheiser HD 250BT Bluetooth headset model can satisfy the vast majority of mobile gamers today. Still, you can find headset solutions for demanding professional gamers who use waves 2.4GHz with extremely low latency and extremely expensive ASUS Strix Go 2.4GHz.
The sound quality of this headset has many similarities with the “elder” Sennheiser HD25 with the ability to show good and powerful bass range; the mid-range is relatively clear but a bit weak in the high range. That is quite similar to the “popular” headphone models for various popular entertainment purposes than the headset models for those who demand high music enjoyment.
Therefore, you can use this headset model to listen to the most popular music on the market, play games, or watch action movies with impressive explosion effects.
Users can also adjust the EQ of the Sennheiser HD 250BT headset model through the Smart Control App program developed by Sennheiser to increase or decrease bass. However, according to the writer’s subjective opinion, the default setting level is balanced enough for daily use needs, unless you like some special music genres such as electronic music.
The built-in microphone on the headset is just a normal type for conversation. Although the quality is better than many Sennheiser GSP 670 gaming headsets, it does not achieve the clarity and richness of details like on the Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE or has a conversational noise filter like the ASUS Strix Go 2.4GHz.
Finally, the battery of this compact headset also belongs to the extremely “strong” group. Users can use the headset continuously for 16 to 17 hours at medium sound levels when fully charged. More than enough for a few days of continuous use before needing to be charged.
As a versatile headset with many advantages, the Sennheiser HD 250BT also carries a few minor inconveniences.
First of all, due to the influence of the traditional design of the “elder” Sennheiser HD25, our ultra-light wireless headset cannot be rotated flat so that the user can easily wear it on the neck when traveling like many modern headsets. So you will need a case or headphone box to preserve the product when you take it out.
The second problem is that this headset model does not own an NFC chip (Near Field Communication), which is inconvenient for quick connection with other smart devices.
Finally, the Sennheiser HD 250BT started to appear slightly distorted at the highest volume, but this is only a very small problem because 70% volume level is more than enough for me almost any user need.
