Sennheiser PXC 250 Consumer Headphones

Review: I recently purchased a pair of PCX250's for my iPod. I do quite a bit of air travel, and wanted to try some noise canceling phones. I thought seriously about the Bose, but just couldn't bring myself to spending the "Big Bucks". So, to make it short,...

Review: I tried both back to back: Sennheiser works better! The noise cancelling feature is superior to BOSE and they are not as bulky as BOSE.

The Bottom Line: A great product for commuters. Well-made, nice sound, and effective noise cancelling. But try-before-you-buy to see if these are right for you.

Review: I purchased these headphones in late 2005 because of noisy commutes I make for work. I highway-drive and fly quite frequently, and wanted to listen to music without ambient noise. I researched NC (noise-canceling) headphones on the Internet, and...

The Bottom Line: pass.

Review: I just tried these headphones today for about 2 hours, and although I read the reviews on the newegg.com site where they were given a 5/5 as well as a friend of mine recommending them...

I'll like to say that I was very disapointed. The...

Review: I love the physical design of these headphones. They fold down down to a very compact size that is extremely convenient. They are somewhat comfortable for short term wear but seem to apply too much pressure on my ears when I wear them for several...

The Bottom Line: All in all a very good purchase and I would recommend them to any iPod commuter out there. Their drawbacks can be overlooked in view of their portability.

Review: I must say that I'm a big fan on sennheiser: those are actually my 4th pair. I've got some wireless a very cheap vintage pair and a pretty good 490.

I just bought those, and it's the first time I had such a good feeling right after buying...

The Bottom Line: Best in class- easy to transport, promised what it delivers

Review: UPDATE: I use these with 3 different iPods. I discovered that on LONG (12 hour) flights, the on-ear form design gets uncomfortable. I bought the Bose QC2 (over-the-ear) which are more comfortable, more expensive and bigger. I still think the...

Review: The Sennheiser PXC250 headphones are so bad I would not use them if they were free, and I will be returning the pair that I bought. I wanted to be able to shut out sounds like people at work and lawnmowers at home. I have not tried either of those...

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for headphones that will make your flights more pleasant, these offer the best bang for the buck in their category.

Review: Introduction

Noise cancellation headphones are the type of item that you don't buy unless someone's told you about them or if you've heard them in action. If you're going to use these at the gym or in an environment where you need to hear...

The Bottom Line: Good buy at $70 (refurb); too expensive at ~$150 retail. Great noise reduction, very good comfort, decent sound.

Review: This is my 4th pair of noise canceling headphones, and I don't plan to replace them anytime soon.

First pair was from Aiwa (HP-CN5) and although noise reduction and sound were good, comfort and quality were not as good. Less of a problem...
