If you're looking for top-tier sound quality for gaming and TV with advanced features like active noise cancelling and wireless connectivity, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro is a high-end choice; they also offer unique AI technology to optimize your daily activities and mental health routines. However, they are bulkier and not as suited for exercise. On the other hand, the Sennheiser HD 400S are budget-friendly with good sound quality and comfort, ideal for music and calls, but they lack wireless functionality, active noise cancelling, and are not the best for portable use or exercise. Consider what features are most important to you and if they justify the higher price of the MW75-Neuro. Give Feedback

"Sennheiser has done it again. The HD 400S performs well beyond its price range and is one of the better budget model headphones I’ve tried. It has very few bells and whistles and offers a simple means of listening that still delivers amazing clarity and quality. If you need a good first pair of headphones or need something that you can take out of the house, then the HD 400S is definitely for you."
