I know that in this sub-Reddit (and in the headphone niche in general) there’s often a tendency to criticise these kinds of models for being too ‘mainstream’, but I got the Sennheiser M4 SE as my starting point in this community and I’m absolutely delighted. I wanted something I could use both via Bluetooth (for devices, listening to music at school, while studying, etc.) and in a more ‘professional’ way with a wired connection for my piano, and I think I made the best choice. The sound, volume, clarity and ANC all seem perfect to me. I previously had the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the FreeBuds Studio, both of which I quite liked, but the moment I tried these Sennheisers I completely forgot about the others: the improvement in audio quality and comfort was simply impossible to ignore. As you’ve probably gathered, I’ve really grown attached to these headphones and to the brand itself.
