Is the AceZone A-Spire Wireless worth the upgrade from the Sennheiser HDB 630?
Verdict
Downgrade
The AceZone A-Spire Wireless actually scores 5.0 points below the Sennheiser HDB 630, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. The gains are concentrated in noise cancelling (8.0 to 8.5) and calls (7.0 to 7.5). You do give up ground on battery (9.0 to 8.0) and value (7.5 to 6.5). On paper: weight 311 g to 289 g and bluetooth 5.2 to 5.4. Worth checking: multipoint pairing goes Yes to No and driver size goes 42 mm to 40 mm. It is at least $81 cheaper, so the lower score comes with a saving. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
