It looks as though both models will uphold Sennheiser's reputation for headphone excellence.

Audeze LCD-1 planar-magnetic headphone review: The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
This headphone has a wonderfully transparent, precise, neutral sound that reveals everything in a recording, and for a much lower price than most planar-magnetic cans.
Focal Arche headphone DAC/amp review: It doesn't get much better than this
Superb sound, exceptional build quality, extensive feature set—you get it all for a princely sum.
Excellent active noise cancellation, but the sound quality is slightly veiled, marring an otherwise excellent headphone.
DALI Katch Bluetooth speaker review: Small sound from a small package
The sound quality is clean, clear, and bright, but the bass is generally weak.

These high-end cans offer top-notch materials, elegant design, and excellent—though not flawless—sound.
Klipsch The Fives review: These Bluetooth bookshelf speakers deliver smooth, refined sound
But the sonic balance tips toward the bass and away from the mids and highs.
Helm Audio DB12 AAAmp review: This mighty mite of a mobile headphone amplifier sounds mighty fine
Lots of clean gain and no noise in a tiny package—what's not to like?

This magnificent headphone offers a heavenly sound with a devilish price tag.
DALI Katch One soundbar review: Great sound—under the right circumstances
This soundbar must be placed up against a wall to sound its best, and it requires more space beneath a TV than most.

Fluance Ai60 Bluetooth speaker review: Large and in charge!
This pair of powered Bluetooth speakers has the look, feel, and sound of a high-end product without a high-end price.
Even better, Cleer's ANC headphone is less expensive than the best that higher-profile competitors such as Sony, Bose, and DALI have to offer.
It's nice that the Wonderboom 2 is hardened against water, dust, and drops, but that doesn't mean much when it produces thin sound and wimpy bass.
