Sennheiser PXC 450 headphones review Review
Fantastic headphones with the best noise cancelling we've heard, but at a price. Audio quality is superb and the build quality will withstand the strains of constant use.
Pros:
- Sound quality
- Noise-cancellation
- Fold-flat design
- Included hard case
- TalkThrough feature
Cons:
- Price
- Dance fans may want more bass
- Noise-cancelling bypass switch instead of automatic cut-out

Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiseGard 2.0
I was thinking of beginning this review with a plug for Sennheiser, a company that has quietly been producing top quality headphones for many years, but rarely seems to grab the limelight. But every review I've ever seen seems to do that, so I won't. Oh, I did already? Never mind.

Sennheiser PXC 450 review
It breaks our heart to think of all the engineering Sennheiser did on the talk-through button on the over-the-head PXC-450s, because it works pretty well. You're just never going to use it.

"The beat goes on.."
These are the first jumbo sized headphones that I have ever bought. Previously I have had to replace the in-ear headphones every 4 months. This is because I tend to listen to my music at a fairly high level, and after a short time, they begin to produce a hissing sound when the base is high.
Pros:
- Superb sound quality
Cons:
- My get you a few looks on the train

Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiseGard 2.0
Sennheiser as a company, has been around for years, and is definitely not a novice in making high-end headphones. If there are a pair of headphones you can compare the PXC-450 with then it would be Bose's QuietComfort 3. However, the PXC-450 outruns the QC3 with its features.

Sennheiser PXC 450 review
These teutonic ear-coccoons will provide you with the long-haul comfort you so crave from a set of headphones. But can Sennheiser supply the audio excellence to complement the aural massage that the PXC 450s give you?
Pros:
- These noise-cancellers from German can-meisters Sennheiser quell background sound, from jumbo jets to buses, more effectively the any other headphones
- The design is endlessly comfortable, even if it does make you look dorkish in the extreme, and it runs on a single AAA, so you don't need to worry...
Cons:
- Reviewing audio gear is a very subjective thing, but there is perhaps something a bit I too I pristine about the PXC 450′s sound
- It's a little like being serenaded by the Pod people from Invasion of the Bodysnatchers – uncannily accurate but lacking in warmth.

Pretty good at work
I got these specifically to filter out office noise listening to streams through my computer, as I'm a programmer in a farm of 6x6 cubes (about 25) with a lot of distracting noise. They accomplish that task well, and I am very happy with the sound quality.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Convenient
- Easy to use
- Good Bass
- Great Sound

Sennheiser's PXC 450 Headphone
This latest headphone by Sennheiser, the PXC 450, costs around $300, and this is the latest in technology. It acts as your normalheadphone, but with extra features. First of all, this headphone runs on a AAA battery, and that is like 20 hours of mind boggling music runs wild.
