The highly anticipated Sennheiser HDB 630 headphones have officially launched in India, priced at ₹44,990. Positioned in the premium segment, these wireless headphones are designed for serious music listeners rather than casual users. Sennheiser aims to replicate the experience of wired sound without the constraints of cables, targeting audiophiles who appreciate clarity over bass-heavy sound.
With pre-orders open until December 4, buyers will receive a bonus Accentum Open earbuds valued at ₹12,990 at no additional cost, which reinforces Sennheiser's strategy of appealing to dedicated music enthusiasts. Unlike everyday noise-cancelling headphones intended for travel, the HDB 630 focuses on delivering meticulous acoustic tuning. Featuring accurate mids and open treble, the headphones are engineered for immersive listening sessions rather than background music during commutes.
From a technical standpoint, the HDB 630 provides high-resolution audio playback capabilities of up to 24 bits and 96 kHz through both USB-C and Bluetooth connectivity. This feature allows users to enjoy a quality akin to wired headphones when connected to laptops or smartphones. Moreover, with the addition of Sennheiser's BTD 700 dongle, compatibility extends to more devices, enhancing the experience of high-resolution audio without being limited by standard built-in codecs.
Control options are tailored for the dedicated listener. The Sennheiser app offers a customizable parametric equalizer, enabling users to finely tune sound profiles. With the ability to adjust midrange, treble, and low-end frequencies, users can create personalized presets—enhanced by a crossfeed function that mimics the natural soundscape of speakers for older music tracks.
Comfort and durability are prioritized in the HDB 630's design. Sharing a frame with the Momentum 4, it features softer clamping pressure and cushioned ear pads, ensuring comfortable long-term wear. The battery life is impressive, providing up to 60 hours on a full charge, with a quick 10-minute recharge allowing approximately seven hours of playback. Additionally, replaceable ear pads and a two-year warranty underscore the headphones' build quality and longevity.
While the ₹44,990 price point may deter potential buyers, the HDB 630 is not marketed as a catch-all accessory. Instead, it caters to discerning listeners who seek premium sound quality and wireless convenience. Pre-bookings are available through Sennheiser's website, Amazon India, Headphone Zone, Audio Store, Concept Kart, and select premium retail outlets. If these headphones fulfill their promise of high-fidelity audio, the investment and bundled earbuds could prove appealing to the right audience.
