Editorial note

The Sennheiser HDR 165 is a product that stands out for its impressive audio performance. With a sensitivity of 106 dB and a total harmonic distortion of only 0.5%, it delivers clear and powerful sound, ideal for immersive listening. Additionally, its closed acoustic system ensures optimal sound isolation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your music. The playback time of 18 hours is also a plus, although it may not be sufficient for prolonged use without recharging. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The weight of 300 g may be considered relatively heavy for headphones, which could lead to discomfort during long listening sessions. The lack of an integrated microphone also limits its use for calls or voice recordings. In terms of connectivity, while wireless is convenient, the 2.4 GHz technology may be prone to interference in crowded environments, thus affecting sound quality. In terms of value for money, the Sennheiser HDR 165 positions itself favorably thanks to its rechargeable battery and effective sound isolation. However, the absence of modern features, such as touch controls or multipoint connectivity, may make it seem a bit dated compared to other competing models. Overall, this product is a good option for music lovers seeking a quality audio experience, while keeping its limitations in mind.
