Sennheiser's Noise-Cancelling Headphones, the PXC 250-ii

These headphones are not so popular like their higher model, the PXC 450 as these are collapsible, smaller and on the scale of effectiveness, they are slightly less effective, but also serve a different purpose. The very fact that they are collapsible and smaller, may be of appeal to some customers who value flexibility and mobility and would like to carry them around with them wherever they go, especially on busses and trains where they don't have so much noise. In addition to their effectiveness in producing a quiet environment, they are only slightly less effective than the PXC 450 and are a viable option for those who are happy with such levels of noise-cancellation but with high quality SRS surround and they connect wireless via bluetooth. Basically their comfort, lightness and compact ability make them perfect for light transport and air travel, as with airplanes, they cancel out the engine noise but don't make you completely deaf so you can still hear your wife or crew announcements. Another appealing feature of these headphones is their price, which are nowhere near the expensive range which makes it affordable for those just starting with this headphone range and trying to find something reasonable to buy. Regarding the active feature that is powered by a single 'Triple A' battery, many have reported that it lasts around 50 hours in one go, and the headphones continue to work even if the battery is dead. They are also delicate headphones so they really need to be handled with care and transported in their carry case. Several different headphones may offer better noise-cancelling, while others better sound, in contrast, these headphones offer both and are somewhat a balance between the two. They can also be using in the gym as they offer that sense of privacy along with the great quality of sound. These headphones are really a matter of personal preference, from reading this article, you already know they are not the best in noise cancellation, small, delicate, great sounding and collapsible and come with a carry case. So if you don't prefer total silence, but appreciated great music, you will love these. Chances are that if you already own a pair and you like them, you probably only want to stick to these and continue to use them. If you had the old model, then you will definitely appreciate that these have one battery only and play for 50 hours in one go. Best advice, at the end of the day, is do your homework, trial them out to see if you like them or buy them under a satisfaction guarantee just to make sure these are the headphones for you.
