Amazon.com Product Description
Portable audio takes on fresh life with quality headphones, and Sennheiser's folding, lightweight, closed-ear PXC 250 is designed to keep outside noises out and headphone sound in--perfect for use in busses and libraries alike.
Increase the peace! The PXC 250 features a noise reduction unit
that cancels out background noise.

When engaged, NoiseGard active noise reduction drops steady-state low-frequency noise (from about 500 Hz and below) by 15 dB--which the human ear perceives as more than halving the noise--thus enhancing the clarity of your music. The noise reduction circuit requires 2 AAA batteries (not included), but the headphones work fine without the circuit engaged.

Sennheiser's fold and flip design lets you turn the ear pieces 90 degrees and fold the headphones closed. Their ported design lets them move more air for greater bass response.

What's in The Box
6-foot Kevlar-reinforced cord, .25-inch stereo adapter, airline adapter, belt pouch.

Product Description
compact, folding, on-the-ear design * padded, closed earcups and adjustable headband * NoiseGard noise-cancellation technology * Up to -15 to -25 dB attenuation of ambient noise for frequencies below 1,000 Hz * frequency response 10-21,000 Hz *

4 out of 5 stars Good sound and decent noise cancelling features!   September 3, 2008

The PCX 250 is a nice size and very portable. It has good audio quality and is not as large as the over the ear type and not too small as in-ear models. The battery life is decent and the noise cancelling feature works reasonably well. A point in favour is that it can use standard batteries available anywhere - so one does not get stranded mid-trip. The folding mechanism is a bit delicate and one should be careful while opening and closing the headphones.

Headphones work as advertised. Turn them on and ambient noise disappears. My only problem with them was the lack of adjustment in fit. For complere noise suppresion, you need a good fit on the ear. I could not get a good fit and they remained loose resulting in noise pollution. My wife tried them on and they fit her fine. She is now their owner. I on the other hand will turn to an over the ear design to provide the desired effect.


2 out of 5 stars Not thrilled   August 23, 2008

I am not thrilled with these headphones. I purchased them to replace a pair of Logitech NC headphones that my daughter had broken. Sennheiser does not compare. The Logitech headphones canceled the airplane engine noise much better...I don't know if this was because the Logitech headphones were supra-aural while the Logitech are circumaural so the Logitech have an advantage with passive noise blocking..or if the noise canceling electronics are better with the Logitech. The Sennheiser are smaller and fold up into a very compact size but the case won't protect them from crushing. Overall, I'm replacing the Sennheiser with a pair of Audio-Technica (I'd go for another set of Logitech but they are no longer being made and I was disappointed that the swival joint broke).


4 out of 5 stars Great Noise Cancelling Headphones for the money   August 13, 2008

Prior to this headphone I bought a Sennheiser PXC 150 on sale at Sears. What impressed me was the audio quality when listening to an MP3 player. I then compared that headphone with the Bose QC2 & QC3 at a Bose store. The PXC 150 sound, and noise cancelling was about the same as the QC2. The QC3 was much quieter when listening to the Bose airplane sound simulator. Since we were going to Hawaii I decided to get the PXC 250 for my wife, on account of their $25 rebate. Both the PXC 150 & PXC 250 were similar in audio and noise cancelling ability. Both performed well on the airplane. For the money I feel that the PXC 250 is an excellent noise cancelling headphones. The PXC's uses AAA batteries, which last a long, long time. Whereas the QC3 has a rechargeable battery. If it dies, you're out of luck. The PXC 250 folds easily into a nice supplied pouch, which has a zippered pocket to store extra batteries and phone adapters.


4 out of 5 stars Good @ noise canceling, but the folding thing isn't.   August 10, 2008
Ming Hsun Hsieh
The good:

The noise canceling tech. is really good. Well, the best one I have. Sometimes, I use them without music to block out street and co-worker's noise.

The bad:

The folding thing isn't as good as it looks. It's fairly difficult to fold it properly, and doesn't save much spaces.

The activate switch is too big and long. It make it harder to be portable and user friendly.
