Looking for an European alternative to Sony WH-1000XM6, similar price and performance. I’ve found these candidates:
- Sennheiser HDB 630 (expensive and no need for bundled USB transceiver)
- Sennheiser Momentum 4 (cheap, but are they “dated”)
- Valco VMK 25.2 ANC (very few reviews available so unsure about performance)
- DALI IO-8 (expensive)
Any other suggestions or comments to the headphones above?


Philips Fidelio L4 could also be a good candidate. It’s very similar in features and has very high battery life. I have gifted one for my partner after seeing his old headphones fall apart and he’s very happy with it. It did get a bit more difficult with stock but maybe you can find it for 200€
Didn’t philips sell their name to a Chinese company?
Ah, sorry about that. I just found out that they have licensed out their audio and video division to TP Vision which is a subsidiary to TPV Technology and that’s Chinese
