Sennheiser PXC 300

Pros: Compact, light, small earpieces, unpowered mode, half the price of Bose headphones.

Cons: Separate battery pack, no independent volume control. Static build-up can shock.

The Bottom Line: Great noise cancellation at a reasonable price. Maybe as good as Bose or better.

Review: Update: Wore these on the plane across country and they worked wonderfully. They're light, block noise, and I could sleep just fine. Careful with incorrectly grounded audio sources as the static charge may build up and shock you through the right ...

Pros: small, light weight, compact case, great low frequency noise canceling

Cons: wires and wand (battery case)

The Bottom Line: If you want noise canceling headphones, I recommend these.

Review: When I decided to buy noise-canceling headphones, I was pretty set on Bose. I had heard those were the best, and that’s what I wanted. But Bose is expensive, and I was buying to sets of headphones – one for me and one for the wife. So I decided to do ...

Pros: Great sound, good noise cancelation, comfortable

Cons: dangling battery compartment, expensive

The Bottom Line: At the office to silence computer fans, etc, these are great. For flying consider the Boss headphones or much cheaper canalphones on a budget.

Review: General Experience I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about these headphones. At first I really loved them, but I'm starting to develop more of a love-hate relationship with them. Comfort Maybe more important than sound ...

Pros: Small size, decent sound, headphones still usable with dead batteries. Half the price of Bose

Cons: The slight inconvenience of a separate battery/electronics housing

The Bottom Line: Unbeatable choice for small noise cancelling headphones for less than $150.

Review: My son went off to college, and I re-inherited the lawnmowing task that I happily passed on to him when he was a young teen. At least now, I thought, the job would go faster if I could listen to podcasts while mowing. I hit the turf with my iPod and ...

Pros: Excellent noise reduction; light weight and compact; comfortable, very good sound.

Cons: Price

The Bottom Line: A great noise cancelling headset. It's lightweight and compact, so you'll actually use it. The price is also much (found it for $120 on the web)

Review: I recently purchased the Sennheiser PCX300, to replace a panasonic noise cancelling headphones that I had--mostly because of comfort, as they were too big and would be somewhat painful if worn for extended periods of time. The PCX300 are an upgrade ...

Pros: Definitely works. I'd rather own one , than not having one.

Cons: Annonying Battery low Alarm

The Bottom Line: Good for the buck. Not as expensive as Bose. And Seinheiser still holds its name in professional sound production.

Review: After reading so many reviews of many noise cancelling headsets (sony, bose, seinheiser), I decided to go with te PXC-300. I don't have any comparative experience with noise cancelling headsets. After much research, I was looking for something that's ...

Pros: None

Cons: Faulty. Poor service.
