Looking for an European alternative to Sony WH-1000XM6, similar price and performance. I've found these candidates:

  • Sennheiser HDB 630 (expensive and no need for bundled USB transceiver)
  • Sennheiser Momentum 4 (cheap, but are they "dated")
  • Valco VMK 25.2 ANC (very few reviews available so unsure about performance)
  • DALI IO-8 (expensive)

Any other suggestions or comments to the headphones above?

Philips Fidelio L4 could also be a good candidate. It's very similar in features and has very high battery life. I have gifted one for my partner after seeing his old headphones fall apart and he's very happy with it. It did get a bit more difficult with stock but maybe you can find it for 200โ‚ฌ
