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.

 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).
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.
Good @ noise canceling, but the folding thing isn't. August 10, 2008
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.
good value August 3, 2008
Bought these for a trip from CT to AZ. They make a big difference once the jet engines fire up....wish I'd had them on all my prior flights. They fold up nice and small and stow in their own case.
I will purchase over-the-ear style for my next set, though.
Works great. Breaks even better. July 30, 2008
I bought these two weeks ago. I liked them because they're compact. The sound quality is very nice for something so small. The noise cancelling works great too.
So why two stars?
For starters, the noise cancelling unit is very sensitive to interference. If I put the stick next to my cellphone in my pocket, it creates a very loud, constant popping noise.
Worse though is my headphone is broken already. I only use this around the house, but the plug is very weakly designed. Most headphone jacks are curved or made out of hard plastic.
This one is long, narrow, and wrapped in rubber. So it took about two weeks of casual use for the headphone jack to completely come off.
I'm sad.
