Summary:

The Sennheiser HD 4.40BT is a relatively affordable wireless headset by a well-known brand. It generates excellent audio quality, has incredible battery life and very comfortable to use for long hours.

The HD 4.40BT is light, made from quality materials, the Bluetooth connection works great with no disturbances, and you can operate it using NFC as well.

The brand: Sennheiser
The model: HD 4.40BT / HD 4.40 BT


The pros:

Excellent Audio quality – It took me time to appreciate the HD 4.40BT’s audio quality, but I can say that the sound experience it offers is worth every penny.

After reviewing over 30 headsets & headphones in the past couple of years, I guess that I enjoy using headsets and share with others what I think of them. But if decide to review a new headset, I’ve put a lot of thought, so it won’t sound like my previous reviews.

And because I honestly believe you can find excellent headsets for $30-$40, then I tend to be more critical when I get to review headsets that are more expensive.

That’s why my love story with the Sennheiser HD 4.40BT is so special to me. Because when I first tried it, I wasn’t blown away from by it. This wasn’t a “love from the first tune”, but the more I used it, the better I learned to appreciate this headset.

It generates the right sound for every type of audio content I’ve been listening to, whether it’s music (from all genres), lectures and audio books or phone calls.

The bases are sharp but not explosive. It can reach a high volume level, but there’s no distortion in the sound. And when listening to audio using this headset, especially to music, you enjoy from a full sound experience.

At the beginning of my video review, I placed the microphone next to the headset, so you’ll be able to hear how it sounds. I do that because I’m asked by my viewers, who wants to know as much as possible on the products I review. But let’s be honest, it can hardly reflect the audio quality unless you’ll be using the headset yourself. And if you will try this headset, then you’ll probably won’t want to take it off.

Good isolation from the outside – Though this model doesn’t offer ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), you will be quite isolated from your environment.

If you don’t listen to audio then everything around you will be much quieter, while if you listen to music, at a certain level you won’t hear anything from your surroundings.

Battery life – According to Sennheiser, the battery should last up to 25 hours, but assuming you don’t raise the volume level to the maximum level, the battery will last much more than that.

I always kept asking myself when the last time was that I charged the battery, because I kept using it for such a long time between each charging. I would say that if you’re using normal volume level, the battery can reach even 50 hours.

Comfortability – This is one of the most convenient headsets I’ve ever worn. The headband & the earphones are padded well (but not too much), the earphones have a range of movement that is adaptive to the shape of your head, and the headband is elastic and extends to the right size of your head.

Quality of materials – Trust me that when you’ll hold this headset, you’ll feel that it is made from quality materials. And after more than a year of intensive use, the headset still looks & feels great.

The headset took some bumps & scratches while I’ve been using it, but thanks to the type of materials, they are almost unnoticeable, and allows the headset to withstand much worse damages that could leave a mark.

This is one of the main differences compared to a low-budget headset since it isn’t made from cheap plastic or includes a simple cushion to soften the earphones and headband.

No disturbances in the wireless connection – The Bluetooth connection works great, and I didn’t encounter any disturbances or disconnections whatsoever.

The built-in microphone enhances your hearing – This is a bit off track, and I ask you not to misuse the headset for bad purposes, but I noticed that when the headset is turned on and connected to my smartphone without playing any audio, it enhanced my hearing.


The cons:

The App isn’t compatible with YouTube / Audible – I almost didn’t use the
Sennheiser CapTune app. When I did try it, I almost didn’t have what to play with it, since I consume my content mostly from YouTube & Audible. And not surprisingly, this app (like most other apps) doesn’t support those services.

The arc can’t be minimized perfectly – I noticed that sometimes when I minimize the arc, the arc isn’t fully minimized from both sides, and the pops a bit outside.

Since the quality of materials and build quality are great, and I was very careful when using this headset, I’m not sure if the headset is meant to be like that (since it is also foldable), or it just happened over time.

I wish it came with a hard case – The pouch that comes with the package is from good quality and is useful for cleaning the earphones. It is common to offer such pouch with headsets, and yet, I wish Sennheiser would give instead (or in addition) a hard case to store & carry this headset.

The price already keeps away many potential clients from getting headsets in this price range. And when less other brands (such as Bluedio), offers great products with hard case from good quality, it makes their products a more lucrative offer.
