Not luxurious, and not exactly stacked with features – but the Sennheiser HD 250BT have it where it counts. The fact that the HD 250BT don’t look, or feel, any more costly than they are is more than compensated for by the sound they make. Yes, the headband is unpadded, but the soundstage is wide open and properly defined – and that's what counts.

As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion.

The audiophile-friendly Sennheiser HD 250BT Bluetooth headphones deliver an accurate sound signature for well under $100.

Such unexpected headphones always surprise me more than something very expensive and innovative. There, after all, you already expect something like that, and in the case of the Sennheiser HD 250BT, I did not expect anything at all, well, it should have been normal for myself, but no more. And how they took it, how they played with all the money in the world, how they surprised me.

No luxury flourishes, just a good-sounding, durable and truly likeable set of budget on-ears
