Neither Sennheiser HD 4.50BTNC nor Sennheiser RS 175 were recommended by experts this month

On 9 Mar 2024 (19 days ago) we went through 104 Headphones expert endorsements , however neither Sennheiser HD 4.50BTNC nor Sennheiser RS 175 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Headphones received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Sony WH-1000XM5 or other critically acclaimed Wireless Headphones of this month.

For reference, Sony WH-1000XM5 received 9 endorsements this month, from CNET (6 Feb 2024), Tom's Guide (19 Jan 2024) Wirecutter (22 Jan 2024) and 6 others.
