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. src='http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sennhead1.jpg' border='0'> src='http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sennoise.jpg' border='0'> 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.

Sennheiser PXC Customer Review(s):
Summary: Just purchased another Sennheiser PXC 250 headphone
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Comment: After buying the headphones as an anniversary gift for my frequently-flying husband and discovering just how much more enjoyable a flight could be, I purchased another pair.... for myself. They cut out a good bit of the engine noise and allow for lower volume when watching movies or listening to music. They are also quite comfortable and the compact case slips right in a purse or briefcase. Couldn't be more convenient!

Summary: Makes DVD listening on plane much more enjoyable
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Comment: I purchased this pair of headphones as a gift for my husband based on positive reviews here and elsewhere, and they have performed as well as everyone said.
Prior to getting these Sennheisers, my husband had used a variety of headphones for listening to his portable DVD player on plane trips. This included a very high quality pair of Sony headphones. With all of them, he had to max out the volume on the DVD player and he still couldn't hear all the dialogue clearly.
After his first trip with these Sennheisers, he reports that he was able to listen to his DVD player at a normal volume level (the same level he had it on when he was inside the airport waiting to board) and hear his movie just fine. He said both sound quality and noise cancelling were very good, making the DVD watching experience much more fulfilling and a much more effective escape from being stuck on the plane.
He also has been very happy with the snug, comfortable fit of the earpieces.
Overall, a great buy, especially considering that similar products (Bose) are twice the price or more.

Comment: gud
-they have louder and guder bass than any other headphones i've had
-they are pretty loud overall
-they filter out AC, fridges, cars, deep voices, echoes, and shuffling noises
-i can wear them for hours without hurting my ears, which is rare cuz i have a big head
-the batteries last for days. it's the kind of deal you can forget about and leave on overnight, and it's no big deal.
-it's german engineering, man.
bad
-you get 3 feet of cord, then the unit, then another 3 feet of cord. i find myself sitting the thing on a table, leaning back, and having the thing fall and hit the ground
-you get a big thump in your headphones when it hits the ground
-no high-end noise cancellation
I like silence. Sometimes, I'll put in earplugs, and wear the sennheisers over em. Can't hear a damn thing then. When you flip the quiet switch, the unit also amplifies teh music. Music's too quiet without it on.
You can tell it's meant for airplanes when you leave it on for a while, and turn off the quiet switch. You'll hear the drone of an airplane.
Worth it? Yeah.
