They use active noise cancellation to reduce outside sounds such as engine roar and background conversation so you can listen your music at comfortable volume levels, even while riding in a bus or an airplane. Powered by an in-line battery pack, the headphones use tiny microphones to pick up the sounds of your environment. Advanced circuitry then creates a signal to dramatically reduce ambient noise without affecting your music or movie soundtrack. The PXC 300's padded earcups and headband can be worn comfortably for hours on end — great for extended trips. The headphones fold together for compact storage and fit into the provided soft belt pouch for convenient travel.

Diaphragms: The PXC 300's detailed audio reproduction is due to Sennheiser's Duofol diaphragms with with spiral embossing, providing a transparent and lifelike sound. Advanced Circuit Technology (ACT): ACT reduces susceptibility to mobile phone interference due to optimized circuit technology.

Even then, only cancelled 65% or so. Not worth the hassle of packing them along. Wires were very thin so would not stand any rushed carelessness such as is often the case with carry-on items. I returned the product. If I was going to try this type of product again, I would get the style that covers full ear like old-fashioned head phones. But- I don't want to be THAT isolated. I was really hoping for the 85% tune-out this product promised with minimum inconvenience. 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I traded up to these from the pcx 250, which suffered from the large number of cellphone users around me. I still get a low volume interference once in a while, but it's pretty ignorable. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
