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?

    I have the momentum 4. Sound is good. Touch control is good. They are comfortable and I find lots of other brands are not. One issue is they often don’t automatically come on when removed. I assume it’s due to build up like earwax over the sensors but I didn’t have a problem with other brands. I would buy them again. My husband says talkin on the mic is poor for phone calls.

    My previous earbuds were pixels, for comparison. I was happy with the pixels, but found the pass through and sound isolation clunkier to use. Momentum is simpler. Pass through or noise cancelling.
