These headphones are nothing short of amazing. First off, they look great and are super comfortable. The battery life is excellent and the wireless connectivity and functionality make them perfect for all aspects of use. But, most importantly, the sound quality is exceptional.

Very comfortable over extended wear with noise cancelling blocking out must external sound, no hiss on silent playback moments, quality first rate, easy to use especially when receiving calls, paired easily to iphone and Captune app easy to use to tune headphone to how you like to listen..

Absolutely love the product, the best and the service @BingLee was amazing. I tried the Bose headphones, and I believe the Sennheiser won hands down. I love the functionality of these headphones that you can have complete noise cancellation or not if you choose. Easy to use, fantastic sound quality

Slightly rich bass; In-house competition

For many of us, music is an entirely necessary distraction from the grind of daily life. But what happens when the hum and hubbub of living tries to drown out your chosen playlist Sennheiser's PXC 550 has the answer.

Compact; portable design; Sharp and detailed sound quality

CON: They wont pair to any Bluetooth device after using the headphone jack for the first time; I've had them for around a month and now I can only use them wired since they are not even discoverable by Bluetooth devices, they appear to be stuck in airplane mode

One of the biggest assumptions surrounding noise-cancelling headphones is that they're the kind of perk or feature that comes at the cost of portability. It's not impossible to fit premium noise-cancelling tech in headphones designed for use outside
