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?

Two Dutch contenders:

  • Fairbuds XL by Fairphone. Similar price point, repairable, can be ordered from the Fairphone website. Check reviews for sound signature.
  • Repeat.audio Prince. More HiFi, also repairable. I would describe the sound signature as Bright compared to the more V-shaped Sonies.

I believe Argon and B&W also have good options, but I'm not familiar with details. If there's a HiFi Klubben kn your country, check out their website or a physical store.
