If your priority is cutting-edge technology and versatility, with features like active noise cancelling, wireless connectivity, and a very good battery life, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro is the better choice as it also supports the latest AptX Adaptive codec, ensuring low latency for gaming and TV, and comes with AI technology to track your focus and optimize daily activities. On the other hand, if you are looking for excellent sound quality, particularly for music, and prefer open-back headphones which offer a more natural soundstage at a more affordable price, while sacrificing wireless freedom, noise isolation, and microphone quality, then the Sennheiser 560S would suit you better. However, the Sennheiser 560S is not ideal for noisy environments or activities that require movement since it lacks active noise cancelling and is not sweatproof. Give Feedback

Extended treble with a bit of lower-treble emphasis to highlight mastering flaws? Check. Fairly easy to drive? Check. Good soundstage and imaging? Check, and check."
