Sennheiser's Noise-Cancelling Headphones, the PXC 450

Everyone I've come across has been fascinated with noise-cancelling headphones mainly for the pleasure of experiencing solitude that comes from being free from noise. And a lot fantasize about that peaceful and quiet plain trip, and wonder what it would be like to experience it. If you've tried a less advanced pair of noise-cancelling headphones, then you will be pleasantly surprised with these headphones as you will just want to savor the silence for a while until you feel satisfied and then move on to enjoying the music in the privacy of your noise-cancelled environment. Keep in mind that these headphones are a tight fit, so give them a test try before you commit to buying, this also helps with their active noise cancellation, which adds to the total noise cancellation experience. There are also some important bits of information in the manual that you need to be aware of, like the default 'pass through' volume for noise cancellation gets set in the beginning of use and stays that way so you have to be aware of that and learn how to reset it for different volumes. If you are travelling, be sure to keep extra AAA batteries as they may run out faster than the recommended time depending on the volume of music you are playing, and even if you run out of batteries, you can still enjoy listening to your favorite music but without active noise cancellation, unlike many other headphones from different manufacturers. The quality of build of these headphones are notable, with both passive cancelling afforded by the large ear cups and an improved active cancelling and when the PXC-450 noise cancelling is activated, the silence is almost eerie, and while other brands are equals to this, one can still use these as regular headphones, something others. This, coupled with the very neat "talk through" feature on the PXC-450 blows competitors out of the water. In travel, some reviewers mentioned that noise cancellation different depending on where they sat in the airplane and whether or not they were closer to the engine or further. This could be related to the default 'pass through' setting mentioned earlier and may be something one can adjust if required. Overall, these headphones seem to be a pleaser for many who bought it, and generally those who were disappointed might have had unrealistic expectations. Having said that, it is necessary to educate yourself about them and try them out before going ahead.
