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.

 very disappointing January 8, 2009
TPR (Redondo Beach, CA USA)
I have been traveling with a pair of Sony MDR-NC11 noise canceling headphones for years. When they broke right before a holiday trip I decided to try these. Sennheiser usually makes very good products and this pair of headphones seemed perfect for travel and was almost half the price of the Sony pair I had been using.
While they were light and easily folded into a nice storage pouch, the noise reduction unit was large and inconvenient. The sound quality was extremely disappointing. Even setting the bass on my ipod or video player at max it made little difference. The 'noise cancellation' slightly muted the sound of the plane engines, but did nothing to help with the voices and crying babies nearby. After 6 hours the pressure of the earphones on my ears started to hurt quite a bit.
I returned them immediately and will gladly pay the extra money for the Sony pair.

Sennheiser PXC 250 Active Noise Canceling Headphones
These headphones are a great buy. Noise cancelling on air flights is very good allowing you to blank out screaming kids and other intrusions and sound reproduction is quite acceptable as well. My wife got tired of punching me in the arm to get my attention and insisted I get her a set. I highly recommend these.

sound good, very comfortable. noise canceling part is a little strange though, makes a very faint white noise sound, but if you are in a loud environment they work pretty well and you wont hear the white noise

Great 'budget' product..., works well and is compact. A handy travel alternative to my favourite pair of active noise reduction 'phones: Phitek 'BlackBox' (see: www.phitek.com or www.blackboxonline.com) - AMAZING performance, looks and value against bigger name brands!
very good product January 4, 2009
Gustavo (Portland, OR, USA)
I compared this product with the Panasonic noise cancelling earphones RP-HC55 and the JLab JBuds J2 earphones. In a recent Consumer Reports article, the Panasonic is rated above the Sennheiser unit. Based on noise cancelation/isolation alone, I'd rate the Sennheiser as best, then the Panasonic (to my own surprise) only slightly above the JLab product. Having said that, I am looking forward to products that can do an even better job in noise cancellation/isolation. For music, there are slight differences among these three units, based on different songs/music, but to my ears, not a discernible difference. For noise isolation/cancellation alone, I recommend the Sennheiser product, but one has to place purpose above cost for this feature.
