Sennheiser PXC 550-II Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black

These headphones are very comfy and the active noise cancellation is excellent (with the common focus on lower frequency noise, rather than voices, etc.). The Bluetooth connection is multi-point, i.e., the headphones can connect to and seamlessly switch between multiple devices.

A minor nitpick is that the touch control on the side requires rather precise operation.

My major gripe is that any manual equalisation only works when the partner app is being used to play the content. It is not sufficient for the partner app to run in the background to equalise any source.

Fantastic headphones, really crisp sound quality and noise cancelling is some of the best I've ever had. I managed to get these ~40% off and thus paid significantly less than the RRP, but if no sales are involved I would recommend the Sony XM-1004's for around $100 less.

Overall great headphones for anyone looking to get a pair of great headphones, quality is noticeably better than cheaper options and I'm hearing vocal backings in songs I've never heard before.

Arrived quick and are excellent to use after you learn the option commands. Comfortable and good sound. Waited for sale pricing. Arrived quick and are excellent to use after you learn the option commands. Comfortable and good sound. Waited for sale pricing.

The only thing I dislike is windows is a bit of a problem with these sometimes. Also It would be nice to be able to reconfigure the gestures to do different stuff. Every dollar felt well spent. The sound is nice. It fits comfortably and doesnt take much room in a bag. I find myself using the volume up and down gestures a lot. It really eliminates a lot of the background noise from my life making it much easier to focus. The only thing I dislike is windows is a bit of a problem with these sometimes.

For those who are looking to buy this to use with your pc, you would have to do some tweaking in the pc setting to get this headset working right for you. When you connect the headset to your computer you will see there’s two different audio setting that you can choose from. Stereo and Hands-free. Some games requires you to use stereo which means that if you’re in a call and trying to play the game at the same time: chances are that you will lose one of the audio. There’s some videos online for this problem, which means you have to go to your device manager and tweak those settings. Another one if that the hands-free will pause your YouTube...view more For those who are looking to buy this to use with your pc, you would have to do some tweaking in the pc setting to get this headset working right for you.

Another one if that the hands-free will pause your YouTube videos every few seconds then play it again while calling. So if you are using this for calling/streaming and playing something at the same time I do not recommend. Otherwise this product is great.

- doesn't cope well with multiple audio streams from one device very well. my old sennheiser are better.
- sits nicely over ears and sit well on my skull.
- touch controls are good.
- being connected to multiple devices is inconsistent, if my phone gives me a notification, the audio will play, but then the headset stays stuck on my phone and doesn't return to the other device thats playing audio. again my old sennheiser do this without issue.
- still has an issue with iOS 13.x or greater (and we're up to iOS 15 now), so guess they're out of support now, or EOL.

Good sound and nice noise cancelling but a pain to take calls on as once you try to call out again it won’t switch back to your headphones, have to turn on and off to get the calls back on. Probably fine if you just listen to music but I use them for work so have gone back to my “cheap” PBL ones Good sound and nice noise cancelling but a pain to take calls on as once you try to call out again it won’t switch back to your headphones, have to turn on and off to get the calls back on.

Sound great, easy to pair, love them. Sound great, easy to pair, love them.

good price and good quality good price and good quality

Great value for the price I paid, not as loud as they could be. Noise cancelling works well didn’t think it was that great until I turned it off while mowing the lawns. Only used for a few days as there meant to be a xmas present from kids but so far so good Great value for the price I paid, not as loud as they could be.
