Sennheiser PXC 250 Consumer Headphones

The Bottom Line: Personally, I'd spend some more money and get the Panasonic RP-HC300, of which I am a big fan.

Review: You may have checked out my profile, and may wonder why I seem to have a fixation on noise canceling (let s switch to reducing right away) headphones. Two words: business travel. Noise reduction makes air travel far more relaxing. A lot of the...

The Bottom Line: I heartily recommend these for anyone who travels by air, especially if, like me, you are somewhat claustrophobic. Knock down the noise, turn up the tunes, and tune out.

Review: I would describe aircraft noise as a combination hiss, hum and roar. The PXC 250 headphones do not remove it all, but they knock out the roar, leaving only the far less fatiguing hiss and hum. And once you turn on some music, the hiss and hum...

The Bottom Line: Buy these. Good phones, good price.

Review: I've been listening to budget headphones (

Review: I fly a lot and have always been frustrated by how loud you have to turn up the volume on anything to overcome the background noise. These headphones really do the trick. I never travelwithout them. They do not give 100% silence but they do make a...

The Bottom Line: If you spend a lot of time on a plane (and I do), get these and an iPod. You will enjoy flying much more.

Review: I bought some Koss over the ear noise cancelling headphones and tried them on a cross country trip. Too heavy and too uncomfortable - I took them off before the trip was over and then returned them.

Next I bought the Sony open air noise...

Review: I work in a typical corporate cube with one side open to a lot of foot traffic. My cube neighbors across from me run a fan and air cleaner all day. Needless to say, this cause me a lot of irritation.

I picked up a pair of these headphones...

The Bottom Line: These are a good buy because they are great sound and the noise cancellation is as good as it could get other than the bose

Review: The first question is - Are noise cancelling headphones worthwhile and the second must be - are these particular ones any good?
On the subject on noise cancelling I have the following to say - I get on the London Tube every day. The Tube must...

Review: I just purchased a pair of the PXC250 from our local Circuit City and tried them out today while tanning. I had classical music on and heard some low fan noise, but nothing to be bothered by very much. I then turned off the noise canceling feature...

The Bottom Line: If you are a frequent traveller and you need time-out on your trips, put it on your shortlist and re-discover your music collection.

Review: I am an audiophile, discerning listener. I am also a techno-freak, always on the 'bleeding edge' of technology. I like to listen to sound material only in linear mode (no equalizer or loudness settings) to catch the acoustic mood of the recording...

The Bottom Line: If sound quality rules over bass punch, buy these headphones. The quality is a good value for the $100 to $150 range.

Review: I am a student working with Sound Engineering, music mixing, and the like. I am in the process of searching out a good pair of headphones for around $120 to $150.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser PXC250 headphones from Circuit City. The first...
