Sennheiser invented the active noise canceling approach to noise abatement for frequent flyers and the PXC250 is the most advanced product on the market.
As proof of the German genius at work, take a look at the latest Bose Quiet
Comfort III...and be sure to note the $350 price! Even Bose is trying to copy
the PXC250! Alas, Bose has a long way to go to come close to the superb
hi-fidelity sound produced by these extraordinary headphones. The PXC250
delivers a stunning 10 to 21,000 Hz frequency response at less than .1% harmonic
distortion! No other headset in this class comes even close to this incredible
performance.The noise canceling system in the PXC250 is not ordinary either. The exclusive NoiseGuard(TM) active noise reduction system sets Sennheiser apart as the world leader in electronic noise cancellation technology. Active noise reduction works by generating a sound wave that is 180 degrees out of phase with the incoming noise, so that the two sound waves cancel each other out.
The PXC 250 provides 15-25 dB of combined active and passive noise reduction above 1,200 Hz. The
passive isolation results from the soft, sound resistant ear pads which reduce incoming sound, plus a more effective active noise cancelling system gives a terrific 15 dB of noise reduction at frequencies under 1,000 Hz.
The combined noise reduction has to be heard to be believed.
The PXC250 earphones are ultra light, weighing in at just 65 grams, and they fold up
neatly for convenient storage and transport in the sturdy carrying case provided.
These extraordinary headphones deliver the superb sound you want, with the combination of active noise
canceling and passive noise isolation, coupled with extreme comfort--truly a no-compromise solution for the frequent traveler and anyone who needs relief from constant background noises.
Includes a 3.5mm standard stereo plug for use with most all portable music devices, a two-prong airplane adapter plug and a 1/4" standard stereo plug adapter for use with most stationary stereo systems and a sturdy travel carry case.
The PXC 250 delivers your music the way you want it, with full rich tones, clear highs, elegant midrange, and powerful driving bass notes.
If you want an ultra-light weight, small travel headset with active noise
canceling technology, the PXC 250 is your best choice at any price.
