Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
Sennheiser HD 250BT use Bluetooth 5 for wireless connectivity, which means they'll cope with big hi-res digital audio files without problems. Codec support runs to SBC and AAC, with aptX Low Latency thrown in to guarantee synchronization between audio and video content. Battery life is as much as 25 hours from a single charge, as long as you're not caning the volume and listening to bog-standard SBC content.

Pros
  • Gorgeous, detailed sound
  • Excellent battery life
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable to wear
  • Padded headband

Reviewers from whathifi have found the following***:
Pairing is a breeze (aided by calm vocal prompts) and the Bluetooth connection remains rock-solid across the course of our listening. The main feature of the Sennheiser Smart Control app, aside from firmware updates and battery life notifications, is its Equaliser tab. Find something you like for certain genres of music or podcasts? Save it, deploy it later.

Pros
  • Sophisticated, expressive sound
  • Impressive battery life
  • Comfortable fit
Cons
  • Bass isn’t as wide-ranging as it could be
