That’s a great way to utilize active noise cancellation features Jason – I bet it’s great for winding down before bedtime!

I’ve heard good things about the Cowin E7 and the fact that they’re constantly near the top of Amazon’s best-selling headphones is probably not a coincidence. 

You’re definitely onto something there. The quiet hissing sound when the noise-cancelling feature is activated can start to get pretty distracting. That’s one surefire way to run a quick quality test on any pair of wireless headphones. 

The minimized (and virtually eliminated) hissing sound from the ANC is one of the Sennheiser HD 4.50‘s strong points. Bluetooth technology is getting closer and closer to perfection every year but it’s still far from perfect. 

It sounds like you’re pretty happy with your current pair of ‘phones – if you ever want to consider an upgrade, feel free to reach out, I’d be more than happy to help. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, it’s much appreciated!

I use the Cowin E7 model and it works like a dream. Are you familiar with them? I’ve never owned Sennheiser headphones, but they are pricier than mine.

I like the sound of the sounds they don’t make though. Mine makes hissing noises sometimes and I don’t even listen at loud volumes. I do sometimes, but not all the time. That probably says why mine were cheaper ones. Thanks for the review.

Thanks Justin, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I agree, Bose makes a lot of quality audio gear, especially their QuietComfort Series II model. Sennheiser does make headphones (especially some of their open back HD series models) that are closer to what most Bose ‘phones cost, but they also specialize in more affordable but high quality pairs like the HD 4.50. 

I’m not sure which pair of Bose headphones that you already own but the Sennheiser HD 4.50 will probably surprise you and exceed your expectations at less than half the cost. (They really perform at a higher level than most for what they cost.)

I look forward to seeing you when you come back again to grab a new pair of headphones, thanks for checking out our review Justin. 🙂
