Is the Sennheiser HDB 630 worth the upgrade from the AceZone A-Spire Wireless?
Verdict
Meaningful upgrade
The Sennheiser HDB 630 scores 5.0 points above the AceZone A-Spire Wireless. That's a real improvement, though not the kind you'd notice on every track. The gains are concentrated in battery (8.0 to 9.0), value (6.5 to 7.5) and sound (8.5 to 9.0). You do give up ground on noise cancelling (8.5 to 8.0) and calls (7.5 to 7.0). On paper: multipoint pairing, driver size 40 mm to 42 mm and microphones 3 to 4. Worth checking: weight goes 289 g to 311 g and bluetooth goes 5.4 to 5.2. That costs $81 more, or about $16 per point of score - reasonable value for the jump. Worth doing if you're replacing anyway; harder to justify as a pure upgrade if what you have still works.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
