With excellent sound quality, good noise cancellation and a decent battery life, the Fidelio L4 takes second place. They are very comfortable to wear and the choice of materials and workmanship are of high quality. The associated headphone app offers numerous setting options. In everyday use, however, operation directly on the headphones also works without any problems.

The Creative Zen Hybrid Pro sounds pleasant and natural, which is rarely heard in this price range. It comes with a clip-on microphone for better voice quality when making calls and a Bluetooth dongle with LE Audio and more detailed sound as well as Auracast. Both are missing from the version without Classic.
