I just heard back from Sennheiser support—no color alternatives to black yet.
sorry Headphones.com, but because tariffs have added extra duty I need to order direct from the Canadian store…
The HDB 630 is not manufactured in the US and is not subject to reciprocal tariffs. So it would just be the usual amount paid for any cross-border shipments.
I had asked Headphones.com sales support tariffs&duty, but because only free shipping had been mentioned in their reply I assumed it was not known. Amazon.com implied almost $70USD to ship them to Canada. My apologies (again) for any misunderstanding…
… still, Canadian Sennheiser support has been excellent!
Cheers from the Avalon…
I think we have to think of it in the reverse - they’re what a good pair of $500 closed-back headphones should sound like, and the fact that it’s wireless along with all the extra features it comes with is the cherry on top.
It’s less that it blows everything else out of the water, and more that it meets a minimum requirement bar that has been ignored for years and years and years IMO.

somewhere in between Bathys and Maxwells.
Great description!
I am hoping these can replace both my Airpods Max (travel/movies/ANC around the house headphone) and my Maxwells (sitting at my desk/gaming/Hi-Fi PC closed back audio). At the very least I expect to replace one of them…
Thankfully it’s much lighter than both headphones.
The point about the Audeze Maxwell is a compelling one. If one doesn’t prioritize ANC, is the HDB 630 an upgrade to the Maxwell or more of a lateral move? Hopefully I’ll be able to compare for myself, but I’ll be interested in what Listener and Resolve have to say.
