Our take on the Sennheiser PXC 250-II

by Kristen Schaub

Whether you're riding on a bus, subway train, or airplane, Sennheiser's PXC 250-II headphones lessen the din around you and let you listen to your music at a more comfortable level. They also feature an in-line volume control for making adjustments without removing your player from your bag or pocket.

Noise-canceling technology gives you peace and quiet
Sennheiser's patented NoiseGard™ technology significantly reduces extraneous sounds, such as engine roar, wind noise, and the conversation of surrounding passengers. Tiny microphones in the headphones pick up the sounds of your environment. Advanced circuitry then creates a signal that "cancels out" much of this external noise without affecting your music or movie soundtrack.

Built with the traveler in mind, the PXC 250-II's padded earcups and headband stay comfortable for hours on end. The headphones come with a stereo mini plug and an airline adapter for use during in-flight movies. Plus, they fold up into a compact package the size of a pair of eyeglasses, and come with a carry pouch for easy transport.

Highlights:

  • compact, folding, on-the-ear design
  • padded, closed earcups and adjustable headband
  • NoiseGard noise cancellation technology
  • operates for about 50 hours on one "AAA" battery (included)
  • advanced Duofol™ drivers with neodymium magnets
  • in-line volume control
  • frequency response 10-21,000 Hz
  • impedance: 300 ohms active, 160 ohms passive
  • 5-foot cable with stereo mini plug
  • airline adapter and carrying pouch included
  • weight 2.3 oz. (not including cable and battery pack)
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Overview: The Sennheiser PXC 250-II noise-cancelling headphones dramatically reduce droning noise via NoiseGard. They offer a travel-friendly size and foldable design. The PXC 250-II includes an integrated volume control and airline adapter.

    Audiophile-Grade Sound: The Sennheiser PXC 250-II utilizes Neodymium magnets and Duofol diaphragms for audiophile-grade sound reproduction.

    NoiseGard Technology: The PXC 250-II collapsible on-ear headphones are equipped with NoiseGard technology to cancel up to 80% of droning, fatiguing airplane or bus cabin noise without added bulk or size. A single "AAA" battery (included) provides up to 50 hours of NoiseGard performance.

    Note: The PXC 250-II also function as normal headphones without NoiseGard activated.

    Great Alternative at a Great Price

    Written By Daniele, California on Thursday, June 02, 2011
     
    I bought my husband (a very frequent traveler) a set of the Bose but bought myself a pair of these since I travel about half as much as he does. These are great. Very lightweight and compact. They reduce the noise very well. These are smaller and fit on my ear so after very long flights (8+ hours), if I sleep with them, my ears get a little sore but I think it is beacuse I am laying on them. Yes, Bose are better but these work very well and are a good deal (price-wise).

    Bose Move over these are better

    Written By Robert, Florida or Antigua on Monday, August 23, 2010
     
    I've heard the Bose and bought these instead. Smaller, light weight and foldable in a nice case. Great sounding. If you travel a bit and want to stay light then this is the headset. Nice and comfortable. I did a 16 hour flight from Newark to Singapore with these and it was great. The Noise cancelling is on the cord a little annoying but not so terrible. If you bump it you get a thumping sound so clip it to your shirt. The active noise cancelling works well and knocks out the plane noise and babies one row over any baby directly next to you will win. Sound quality is great, highs and lows all accounted for.. So I got great sound, light weight and paid half of what Bose charges, and they take up less room in brief case. When it comes to headphones Sennheiser is the real pro.
