The piano keys of Frahm's classic tracks as well as the pulsing beats of Kendrick's Alright are all fun to listen to.

The 450BT is a fantastic model, but it's competing with models that are more affordable. Anker Soundcore NC and Audio-Technica's ATH ANC9 both provide excellent alternatives in this category. If you can extend the price to $200, the 450BT is an extremely excellent value.

The HD 450BT headphones are worth the cost, thanks to their outstanding noise cancellation, long-lasting battery and sleek design. These headphones are a good purchase for music lovers of all kinds but those who want more transparency and superior Bluetooth codec support might prefer higher-end models like the Sony WH1000XM3 or Bose QC35 2.

They're also designed and constructed to last, featuring rugged metal construction and a collapsible design that folds down into a compact case for easy storage. The earcups don't have a rotational adjustment, which can be a problem for some users.

The T20's 6mm graphene-coated, dynamic drivers aren't among the most powerful in this class, but they provide ample sound projection and a full, expansive audio stage. The soundstage is uncontrived and feels like an extension of your experience with high-frequency and vocal instruments sounding clear and spacious. In spite of the bassy nature of the Bass Boost setting, I noticed that it didn't obscure the higher frequencies of typical dance outskirts, such as vocal trance.
