New Delhi, Dec. 2 -- Sennheiser HDB 630 and Sony WH 1000XM6 sit in the same part of the headphone world. Both are wireless, both have noise cancelling and both promise long battery life with app control. On paper they look very close. The real difference shows up in daily use and in the kind of listener each one suits. Sony WH 1000XM6 feels like the easy pick for everyday life. It is light, folds into a small case and slips into a bag without taking much space. The headband and ear cups feel familiar if you have used the older 1000X models. You can wear it through office hours, long flights or a day of calls and it mostly disappears on your head.

Sennheiser HDB 630 feels more like home audio gear that you put on and stay with for a while...
