That's it. Judging from RTING's scoring, the Sennheiser HD 630s seem to perform worse than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 in all objective categories:

- “Audio Reproduction Accuracy”: 8.0 vs 8.1.

- “Noise Isolation”: 8.7 vs 9.3.

- “Frequency Response Consistency”: 4.5 vs 6.8.

There’s only so much that “audiophile” hype can do, after all. Guess I only need to buy a bluetooth DAC AMP such as the Qudelix 5K to achieve a truly good audio experience with the Bose and my iPhone 14 Pro Max (pre-eq included in the Qudelix app).

Great review:

"Audio mainstay Sennheiser has long been in the conversation when it comes to the best-sounding headphones, but it’s definitely struggled a bit when it comes to active noise canceling (ANC) headphones. That being said, the new Sennheiser HDB 630, these cans have some big shoes to fill — and some pretty big gaps to cover. Let’s see how they do."

Sennheiser's HDB 630 headphones are making waves, aiming for lossless audio on the go with a new acoustic platform and a USB-C dongle. Engadget calls them a 'sonic marvel,' delivering up to 24-bit/96kHz. But at $500 and needing a dongle for the best quality, are we truly ready for the dongle life, or is this just another step on the audio odyssey?
