Sennheiser PXC550-II Wireless

A gift for my son to hopefully start him on his Audio journey. He has called me several times to compliment the sound quality.

Sennheiser PXC550-II Wireless

Very comfortable to wear. My first experience with the noise cancelling feature, which I really like. The headphones can be a little finicky at times to connect, but has only taken one or two attempts thus far.

Sennheiser PXC550-II Wireless

I expected A LOT more from these phones based on their cost, previous reviews, and owning a much less expensive pair of Sennheiser's. The "special app" is not really an equilizer at all. It offers 5 options for pre-programmed listening modes. I can get great midrange/voice clarity with the Speech option, but it sacrifices a lot of lower frequency reproduction. If I switch to club or movie mode I get much better bass response, but the mid range and voice become muffled. It should not be one or the other for this price. Even the Directors mode is limited in its options and sound quality. So instead of an EQ adjustment, it lets you adjust spatial representation (near, mid, far) and bass response. As a comparison, I tried a few other inputs. Played Dark Side of the Moon through a CD and high quality player. Even with the tiny RCA connector supplied the sound was far superior to the BT functionality. The same goes for my Galaxy s20 stock plug in earbud jack. Although not very full -sounding, and even a little tinny, the clarity through the Samsung bud and cord were better than Spotify streaming through my new S20 phone. Again, for this price?.... I have only 2 devices connected to the phones - a bluetooth transmitter and my Galaxy. The software struggles to know which device to manage. Any use of my phone to look on the internet, accept an IM shuts the TV out and I have to close and restart my phones to get the TV back on. Phone and app does not fix the problem.

Did not disappoint

I use these for general use: Music, videos, gaming, phone calls Fitment: fits very well over my smaller ears and oval head/thin face. May move a bit if I start headbanging. Sound: I'm no sound enthusiast, but the sound quality is pretty good imo. Noise canceling is superb, very evident. Phone Calls: Sound clarity and controls function as they should. Could hear as well as be heard clearly. (Only used indoors in a non populated area) Controls: touch controls are very easy to learn and are useful. Sensitivity is good. Connectivity: Connects easily to my Dell work computer, galaxy s10 phone, and s5e tablet. It is not compatible with my Acer Nitro laptop though(will connect, but keeps dropping the connection). I have been actively using these headphones for around 2 weeks now, and they have good battery life. I switched from galaxy buds to these as a reference comparison.

IOS issues

Purchased this for listening to music on my Ipad and TV programs at night. The Smart control App does not fully function or allow you to update the headset firmware unless you are running IOS version 13.2 or less. Spoke with Sennheiser Tech support and the only way to update the firmware is to connect with an device using IOS 13.2 or an android phone. I am currently at 13.7 on my devices. No idea when an new version fixing the problem will be released. I also noticed that it appears that this app does not have a true equalizer but four presets. I am currently using a HD4.40BT set and have a slight hearing loss and wanted adjust ability in certain ranges. Because I cannot easily update I do not know if the App actually meets my need. Will see if one of my friends has an android phone I can use

PXC550-II: great sound - touch controls could use some work

The bluetooth works great, I'm able to connect to 2 devices with ease. While connected I am able to walk away and maintain connection without the audio being interrupted; I have not tested the full range but I am able to move all around my house and maintain a stable connection. Audio sounds great and can be adjusted from the app to suit the situation - during phone calls the voice enhancement is automatically activated. The touch controls could be improved: activating the mic to hear outside noise doesn't always work so I default to taking the headphones off rather than mess with the unreliable touch controls. Build quality is nice: the plastics are high quality and the faux leather is soft. The included case works well and the headphones fold to fit snugly. Overall the experience has been good and I would recommend the Sennheiser PXC550-II wireless headphones.

Sennheiser PXC550-II Wireless

They sound great and connect easily. I use them for conference calls, listening to music, and watching movies. The audio is clear and crisp. The low-end volume is great. I've had issues with other bluetooth setups being too loud, but these headphones let me dial in the volume range I want. I highly recommend them.

fancy, but not too comfortable

All the fancy bluetooth features are the types of things you didn't know you needed or wanted until you have it. Sound quality is good. They are not very comfortable. The shape is weird and does not fully fit around my ears. I find myself continually trying to adjust them.

Sennheiser wireless headphone

A bit complicated at first with the controls . Had to add app to phone. Very sensitive finger controls for volume controls and skipping songs. At times have trouble pairing with devices right next to headphones. Great bass sound and very comfortable for several hours.

You can't be wrong with this one in this price category.

A Big Disappointment

No kick with the bass, not a clear sound, does not get loud, made my ears hurt (and I have very small ears). Overall I was extremely disappointed in these for the price I paid which is why they will be returned. I should be putting them on and be wowed. Instead they went back in their case and I pulled out my old Kicker headphones which sound way better!

Wonderful headphones!

Much better than I had expected! I wear glasses & behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids. I connect to a Samsung Galaxy S10 phone & a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet at the same time. These Sennheisers are very comfortable and have enough room above the ear for my hearing aids. They are my first Noise Cancelling headphones and I was pleasantly stunned at how effective they are. Our airconditioner/humidifier is silenced. Musically the highs are crystal clear. If I want strong lows I have a very nice Klipsch 5.1 system purchased from Crutchfield three years ago.

Sennheiser PXC550-II Wireless

Music sounds great, and phone conversations are clear as a bell. People of the other end of the phone conversations report that they can hear me more clearly than when I'm talking directly into my iPhone X. These earphones exceed my wildest expectations!

These are Grrrrrreat!

They do exactly what I wanted them to do. I've taken them on planes - screaming kids are a thing of the past. I wear them on my train commutes now, and have to make sure I don't sleep through my stop!

Excellent purchase

This is my first pair of NC headsets, though I've used others in the last. I really love these. Are they perfect? No. Do they block out every single external noise? No. Are they worth the purchase? I certainly think so. They do an excellent job of blocking out those low frequency noises that are commonly encountered during travel. They do a nice job minimizing conversational noise. The transparent hearing mode is a pretty cool feature too. Sound quality is just as good as the best NC headsets out there. Charging via the USB cable takes about 3 hrs and the charge seems to last forever. I also like the two year warranty. The app needs some work, but I won't fault the headsets for that. Overall excellent purchase.

Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars! Great Noise Cancelling headphones!

These are terrific headphones, quite comfortable, sound is incredible for NC headphones especially from bluetooth. It honestly sounds almost just as good as being plugged into my portable dac/amp. Battery life is terrific thus far. Noise cancelling is pretty solid. Probably not as good for noise cancelling as the top of the line Bose NC cans but I am willing to bet these sound better. This of course is speculation as I have not heard the newer Bose NC headphones. The Sennheiser app for your phone is pretty sweet allowing multiple EQ listening styles through your phone that really add something special to certain content. I would definitely recommend them. If I could take off a half a star for noise cancelling wishing they were just a bit better in that department as well as using usb C for charging instead of USB mini I would. Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars so far for me. My next flight is coming up so if I notice anything else I will update my review. The service from Crutchfield was great on this purchase and with their 60 day return policy I know they have my back. Happy Holidays!

Don't waste your time

I went with these headphones determined to take my business to someone other than Sony or Bose, but in the end these headphones just don't hold a candle to what other companies offer at the same price point. Noise cancelling is laughably non existent, sound quality is meh, and the volume/power is weak.

Great Portable Bluetooth Cans!

After hearing about the recent release of the Sennheiser PXC550-II, I decided it was time to upgrade from the HD 4.40 BT headphones I had already been using for portable listening. After using the PXC550-II for a few days, I am pleased to report that the PXC550-II is a significant upgrade in terms of build quality and comfort over my old HD 4.40 BT. The PXC550-II also has a more neutral sound signature compared to the HD 4.40 BT, which I found to overly emphasize bass and treble at times. This neutral signature lends well to EQing to your preferences. ANC works great when ever it is needed. The transparent hearing function is also great to have if you need to be able to hear your surroundings or carry on a conversation at the office. I also appreciate that the PXC550-II comes with a nifty travel case that fits all of the included accessories.
