Overview

The HD 800 open back headphones is built to precision in Germany and crafted to perfection from the finest materials and components.

Absorber technology

The HD 800 S’ enhanced sound reproduction is made possible by the addition of the innovative absorber technology pioneered in the Sennheiser IE 800. This breakthrough preserves the audibility of very high-frequency sounds by eliminating the “masking effect”, a phenomenon where the human ear struggles to accommodate sound frequencies when low frequencies of higher volumes clash. This patented innovation is what the IE 800 the world’s top in headphones,

The 56mm sound transducer is by far the largest ever used in dynamic headphones and sound is directed to the ears via the unique ear cup design carved at a slight angle to promote a natural and spatial listening experience.

Sennheiser says the PXC 550 will get around 30 hours of battery life when corded and with noise cancellation enabled; throw Bluetooth into the mix and you’re more likely to get to 20 hours. Like Sennheiser’s main competition. The PXC 550 has an internal battery, which is a massive step up from previous sets’ quickly-depleted and annoying to replace AA or AAA alkaline cells.

As an audio company, Sennheiser is judged on its sound quality first, and the PXC 550 has some pretty big shoes to fill in that regard. This is the company that built the HD 800s and the Orpheus HE90s. But in 2016, the quality of a headset’s integrated microphones is equally important– and the PXC 550 uses an array of mics built into the two plastic-molded earcups both for ambient noise cancellation and voice calls.

Design

The PXC 550 headphones come with a sturdy semicircular carry case, a micro-USB cable for charging, a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable for wired mode featuring an inline mic, a travel adapter, and a full-size headphone jack adapter.

The matte-black headphones look classy and elegant, with silver metal details that mark out the micro-grilles of four noise-canceling mics and accentuate the earcups’ oval shape. The hinged pivots form part of a collapsible frame that folds flat for stowing in the travel case. It’s a solid, well-built design -which is just as well, because turning the earcups from a flat to an inward facing position powers the headphones on and reversing the action turns them off, so users will be doing this quite a lot.

Audio Performance

While every pair of marquee Sennheiser headphones brings their own melange of spices to the table, they’re all serving a version of the same dish: rich, yet balanced bass, detailed mids with a measured drop of warmth, and a clean and clear upper register. Is it boring to know you’ll always get that same familiar sound signature? Absolutely not. Few brands control their sound as reliably as Sennheiser, and the PXC 550 brings the best hallmarks to bear.

The PXC 550 present a brighter, slightly more present approach than the heavier Momentum 2.0 headphones. That’s especially notable in the higher registers, where percussion like snare and cymbal strikes resonate with more jingle, and the top side of acoustic guitar has a buoyant fluidity. You’ll find plenty of that ruddy warmth in the mid-range, drawing up papered textures of drum skins, rich detail in dialogue and electric guitar, and a vibrant, golden color to brass.

Comfort

The PXC 550 are one the most comfortable closed back headphones tested. They’re incredibly well padded and the earcups are large enough to fit comfortably around most ears. The headband is also heavily cushioned and they’re relatively lightweight. They’re a bit tighter on the head than the QC 35 but they won’t cause any fatigue or soreness even during long listening sessions.

Stability

These headphones have a stable wireless design that won’t easily fall off your head. The firm swivel hinges, combined with the wide headband, and broad ear cups prevent the headphones from swaying too much even during physical activity. They won’t be the best choice for exercising or intense sports but the stability they provide is decent enough to jog with. The wireless design also removes the chances that the headphones will be yanked off your head because the audio cable got hooked on something.

Overview of the product features

• Bluetooth 4.2 wireless technology in an ergonomically designed lightweight, comfortable and collapsible travel headset perfect for travel. Connectivity Technology: Wireless
• NoiseGard adaptive noise cancellation ensures superior sound quality in every environment.
• Intuitive user control and convenience thanks for voice prompts, touch controls, NFC pairing, smart pause and automatic on/off.
• Triple microphone array delivers business class communications with exceptional vocal clarity.
• Sennheiser sound signature quality with selective sound modes to enhance the listening experience.

Should you buy it?

The Sennheiser PXC 550 are just about the most feature-packed headphones around. As well as wireless and ANC, you can control your music and customize the sound quality using a phone app. They’re comfortable, sound quality is excellent and active noise cancellation is solid. Sennheiser’s PXC 550 sounds great, and sounds great despite integrating some excellent and impressively powerful noise cancelling at the same time. The addition of wireless doesn’t noticeably hurt sound quality, which is another tick in Sennheiser’s favor. The addition of control through an app is an excellent extra, and Sennheiser’s Cap Tune is one of the better ones we’ve seen.

The HD 4.50 BTNC offers great audio performance, especially for the price. It has a punchy, bass-focused sound that remains balanced enough to work with a variety of styles. It has a detailed response and you’ll notice little things with this model you won’t hear on other set-ups. The flagship Sennheiser PXC 550 undeniably sounds crisper and more detailed, but you have to A/B the two headphones to notice it. You can hear all the details in the drums and the guitars. The rhythm guitars and vocals are brought forward in the mix, and the bass guitar sounds thick and full. For something different.

Design

Available in black, the headphones have a matte finish with silver-colored details. The plush circumaural (over-ear) earpads provide a hint of luxury, and they also function to passively eliminate a decent swath of ambient room noise before the active noise cancellation is even engaged. Despite only light padding on the headband’s underside, the headphones are initially comfortable, though over long listening periods the headband can start to make it’s presence known on the top of your scalp. Regardless, the headband feels fine for shorter sessions, and setting up a secure, accurate ear-to-ear fit is easy thanks to
detents on the headband’s adjuster.

Performance

Sennheiser’s NoiseGard noise cancellation circuitry is quite effective. These headphones are also far less expensive. Like most inexpensive noise cancellation circuitry, it produces a very subtle but audible hiss. That said, the hiss is far less audible than it often is, and it’s not unpleasant in the slightest-think of it as exceptionally faint tape hiss-and it’s unnoticeable when music is playing at even low levels. The noise cancellation effectively tamped down powerful whirring AC noise, and will be effective on planes and trains.

Comfort

The Sennheiser HD 4.50 over ear headphones are comfortable and well-padded headphones that feel a bit tight on the head. They’re decently lightweight with ear cups that fit comfortably around most ears. The padding on the ear cups especially is thick and soft

Stability

These headphones have a stable wireless design that won’t easily fall off your head. The firm swivel hinges, combined with the wide headband, and broad ear cups prevent the headphones from swaying too much even during physical activity. They won’t be the best choice for exercising or intense sports but the stability they provide is decent enough to jog with. The wireless design also removes the chances that the headphones will be yanked off your head because the audio cable got hooked on something.

Sounds

The most important thing about a new pair of headphones is how they sound, assuming they’re not a total disaster in the design and comfort departments. So how do the Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC headphones sound? Pretty good – but there are a few things to consider. Let’s start with the bass, which is deep, powerful, and smooth. Bass-lovers will enjoy the amount of bass on these headphones, though it doesn’t stray into mega bass territory – which in our opinion is a good thing. One thing is for sure- the sound profile isn’t necessarily natural, and that shows in the bass perhaps more than anything else.

Overview of the product features

• Over-the-ear design- For a secure fit.
• Bluetooth 4.0 interface with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology- Enables simple wireless pairing with your Bluetooth-enabled device.
• NoiseGard active noise cancellation- Provides clear, uninterrupted sound.
• Rechargeable battery- Offers up to 25 hours of use on a charge.
• Built-in microphone- Enables simple hands-free chatting via a compatible device.
• 18Hz- 22kHz headphones frequency response- Along with a 100Hz- 10kHz microphone frequency response ensures faithful sound reproduction.
• 18 ohms impedance- To efficiently conduct power.
• Dynamic transducer design- For reference-grade audio.
• 113dB sensitivity- Provides powerful audio.
• Stereo design- Delivers crisp tones.
• Folding design- Enables you to enjoy your favorite tunes on the go.

Should you buy it?

Sennheiser’s HD 4.50 BTNC Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones definitely sit on the cheaper side of the spectrum when it comes to that one-two punch of wireless and ambient noise reduction. That makes them attractive in the first place. But then you add their pretty good sound quality– better than competitors with stronger noise cancelling– on top of that, and the proposition becomes even more attractive. Unless you need that super-strong noise cancelling, or if you plan to wear your headphones for several hours at a time, you’ll be happy with the HD 4.50.

A 3-meter cable with both 6.3mm and 3.5mm jacks mean the HD 579’s are the perfect companion to any music system. The large soft earpads encase your ears perfectly for a truly immersive experience whilst the wide cushioned headband offers added comfort and security, the matte silver details and grey design make the HD 579’s a stylish addition to any home entertainment system without compromising on sound or comfort. For an encapsulating musical experience that can last for hours on end, the Sennheiser HD 579 over-ear headphones is definitely the one.

With the Sennheiser HD 579 you clearly enter the territory of aural excellence. Its acoustically open over-ear design works together with high-class Sennheiser transducers to create a detailed, well balanced sound image that you cannot get enough of. The full-sized design of the HD 579 leaves plenty of room for comfort. Large ear cups with soft replaceable ear pads, and a broad padded headband allow you to immerse yourself in your music for hours on end. With design touches such as matte metallic detailing and its stylish grey color scheme, the HD 579 looks just as incredible as it sounds. It will be the perfect addition to your home entertainment system.

• Low End: The low end of the HD 579 offers tight, well-controlled bass with plenty of impact and minimal bleeding. Male vocals remain distinct even among tricky instrumentation, and the level of contrast and articulation is commendable.
• Mids: Similar to the HD 599, the 579 seems to exhibit just a shade of compression in the upper mids
• High End: Bright with good detail, the sound remains well-controlled and free of piercing or screeching flaws.

Ergonomics and accessories

Sennheiser’s HD 579 headphones feature velour and memory foam earpads and a headband in faux leather. The model’s structure is made of plastic coated in ivory-colored metallic paint. The headphones come with two detachable cables: one 1.2 meters long with a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector and the other 3 meters long with a 6.3 mm stereo plug connector. A 6.35 mm stereo plug to 3.5 mm jack adapter is also provided.

Sound

The HD 579s are velvety-smooth with a gentle tone meaning you can comfortably listen to them for hours on end. Drums have impact, bass notes are rich and deep, and voices expressive – there are no harsh edges to the HD 579s. However, the HD 579s do sacrifice transparency and insight for their even tones: useful if you’re listening to low-resolution streaming on Spotify.

Design

The HD 579s have a sleek and sturdy design with incredibly soft earcups and headband cushion: every inch of them feels like a premium product. The HD 579s grip well and adjust easily to fit most sizes – and the compact build caters well for people with smaller heads. Make sure you try them on though, as the firm grip may not be for everyone.

Some people wear headphones for the music. Others tend to use them to block out the noisy world, especially when they’re on public transportation like the bus, train or on an airplane. Most people today look for a pair of headphones that also define their style and how they present themselves to the world. There are hundreds of options on the market, one option you should consider looking at is the Sennheiser PXC 450 Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Features and benefits:

The PXC 450 model promises 90-percent noise reduction, dynamic sound and a foldable design that makes them fit nicely into any travel bag. The headphones come with a soft case, two audio adapters and two AAA batteries. One adapter fits into an airplane’s on-board entertainment slots; the other is a standard 6.3 millimeter. The headphones use one battery at a time and reviewers have said it lasts for about 16 hours.

Pros:

An easy-to-locate volume button on the side of the phones can be adjusted with one finger and there’s an iPod-style toggle switch on the cord to use for navigating your music library.

The headphones’ cord is long enough at 4.6 feet to reach from the pocket holding your music source up to your head without pulling or tugging.

A convenient TalkThrough feature gives you the option to hold a conversation with someone close to you without taking the headphones off.

If the battery dies, you can still enjoy music without the noise-cancelling feature by setting the headphones to Passive mode.

Cons:

The Sennheiser headphones are extremely large and people with smaller heads may find them ill-fitting or unattractive. Also, because of their size, they are a bit heavy and tend to fall off if you tilt your head down a certain way. Because of their heft, the headphones can be hot, and no one wants sweaty ears.

Foam padding where the headphones meet the ear tends to break down quickly after minimal use, leaving little black specks of the stuff in your hair and on your ears.

The noise-cancelling feature leaves room for improvement. Some users have reported a low hum that can lead to a dull headache, and others say Bose headphones makes a better product if you’re a traveler who needs to block out jet engine noise.

A raised plastic bump within the earpiece makes contact with the ear on some people, causing a bit of annoyance.

Conclusion:

The Sennheiser PXC450 Noise Cancelling Headphones are priced at around $230, which is a lot to spend on a set of phones if you only use them for traveling. But when you consider that they provide amazing sound quality and features that are unmatched, making such a purchase is warranted. Sennheiser headphones are built and constructed with the power of German-engineering and so the parts are of the best quality and all made of sturdy plastic and tightly assembled.

While they promise exceptional noise-cancelling technology that filters out 90 percent of background noise, they fall a bit short compared to other brands. But the convenient case, folding design, features like TalkThrough and the patented Duofol diaphragm and adaptive baffle damping, are enough to make this product worthy a closer look. Look for a display model, if you aren’t buying them online, and try them on before you buy them. If you have a smaller head, they may not be the right fit for you. If large premium quality headphones is what you are looking for, look no further with this product.

Features and benefits:

First of all, they’re really easy on the eye. The Sennheiser HD 700 promises exceptional sound with and even tone. Comfort, though, is one of the headphones’ best features. With an adjustable headband and microfiber ear pieces that pivot freely and can accommodate any head size. Additionally, the headphones come with a two-year warranty.

Pros:

The Sennheiser HD 700 model has a noise-cancelling feature but you will not need it. The headphones fits so nicely and sound so big that you’ll hear nothing but the pure intricacies of the music. Constructed with a ventilated magnet system, there is virtually zero distortion no matter the range of the tone. Because they’re so comfortable to wear, you may forget you’re wearing headphones. Even after hours of listening, your ears will not be overheated and sweaty. They fit with just the right amount of pressure to ensure a quality listening experience. If you wear glasses or a hearing aid, there’s plenty of room so that the headphones don’t get in the way of either.

Cons:

The open-ended design is attractive and plays a role in the quality sound, but don’t expect to wear these in the office or on public transit. They require volume to sound their best and your music will leak from the sides enough to annoy your coworkers or the people sitting near you in public places. This model is best enjoyed at home or in a car. The Sennheiser HD 700’s weigh in at 14.4 ounces. That’s almost like wearing a 16-ounce beer on your head. Even though they’re comfy, they are bit bulky. Audiophiles are picky. They are very sensitive to all things aural and this Sennheiser model takes a lot of flak for their bass reproduction, especially if you’re into heavy metal, hard rock, rap or electronic dance music. In fact, some people complain that the headphones put too much emphasis on treble.

If you’re planning on using these headphones in a recording studio, don’t. The open-end design allows too much sound to leak and a nearby microphone can pick it up. The headphones come with a big, padded case. They are not meant to be portable or used in close proximity to other people. The cord is possibly the biggest flaw in the design of these headphones. It’s really thick and tends to kink. Also, there are no music controls on the cord.

Features and Benefits

The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless are an over-the-ear model, which makes them much more effective at blocking out sound, but they achieve bass reproduction that’s more like ported models. Sennheiser has a reputation for accurate reproduction throughout the audio spectrum, but they’ve made adjustments for the modern listener’s desire for more sub-bass during their playbacks. If you want bass, the Sennheiser Momentum’s will deliver booming sound without any hint of distortion. The overall sounds slightly modulated in the upper ranges, but it’s very clear. If you’re looking for studio-quality accuracy, the Sennheiser isn’t for you.

The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless has really good noise cancellation, but if you use the headphones simply to block out noise, you’ll hear a faint hiss instead of silence. This isn’t noticeable when you’re listening to music or talking on the phone, but some people use noise-canceling headphones simply for noise reduction and might prefer a quieter design.

Simplicity of controls is important with headphones that will be worn when you’re out and about, and the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 couldn’t be more straightforward. All the playback and volume controls are located on the right earcup, and operating them by feel is easy and intuitive. Bluetooth range is up to 33 feet, and once you lock onto your desired device, the headphones will remember it to make turning Bluetooth on again quicker in the future. Battery life depends on many factors, especially the volume you’re listening at, but you can expect up to 22 hours, with a 3-hour recharge time. If your battery runs down, you can always plug them in and use them as passive headphones.

While maybe not the most popular brand name as far as the general public is concerned what it comes to headphones, serious audiophiles and professional musicians, producers, and other experts that have to have pitch perfect sound have all fallen in love with Sennheiser headphones and speakers – and for good reason.

Designed specifically to produce the most accurate sound possible, these headphones from Sennheiser (the HD 650 headphones) are far and away some of the very best on the market. At the same time, they are some of the most expensive.

This review will break down whether or not they are worth that pre-price tag!

Sound Quality

As far as sound quality is concerned, it really doesn’t get any better than the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones.

Specifically manufactured to produce acoustically pitch perfect sound, these headphones having improved frequency response of between 10 – 39,500 Hz (-10 dB) while pumping that beautiful sound through scientifically engineered acoustic silk.

You’ve never heard music like this before!

On top of that, the high power neodymium magnets used throughout these headphones guarantee crystal-clear clarity across the board. These headphones might not be noise canceling, but they are going to produce incredibly accurate sound while at the same time dampening outside interference.

It really doesn’t get any better than this!

Fit

Designed as studio style headphones, these over the ear headphones are lightweight and comfortable for long term use, though they are a bit on the bulky side of things.

These headphones are going to fit very snug up against your head, creating and acoustic seal that might be at least a little bit uncomfortable at first. Given time, though (we’re talking about 15 minutes or so) you won’t notice any pinch – but will instead find these to be some of the most comfortable headphones you’ve ever worn.

Design

Attractive and very modern in their design aesthetic, there aren’t too terribly many more attractive headphone options on the market today. They aren’t quite as flashy as Beats, but they show off the technology used inside of these headphones in a smart and very modern look.

Sennheiser headphones have always been well-regarded by those “in the know” for their perfectly crisp and ridiculously clear audio fidelity, but outside of musicians and audio professionals there aren’t too terribly many people that are aware of this brand’s reputation.

That is changing rapidly thanks in large part to groundbreaking new headphones like the Sennheiser HD 600.

Sound Quality

Any time you’re talking about a Sennheiser product, whether it’s headphones, speakers, amplifiers, receivers, or something else entirely, you’re talking about a high-quality piece of equipment that was engineered within an inch of its life to produce the highest quality sound possible.

The Sennheiser HD 600 open dynamic hi-fi professional stereo headphones are no exception.

These headphones take advantage of neodymium magnets, a sophisticated lightweight aluminum voice coil system, and a detachable Kevlar reinforced oxygen free copper cable – amongst other components – that all work together to produce as close to lifelike sound as humanly possible.

This results in an audio experience you’ve never enjoyed before, and one you are going to fall in love with!

Fit

The fit of these Sennheiser HD 600 professional stereo headphones is absolutely second to none.

It’s amazing that the engineers behind these headphones have been able to pigeonhole so much advanced audio technology into such compact studio headphones, resulting in lightweight and endlessly comfortable headphones that you could wear for hours and hours and.

The lightweight construction materials really improve long-term comfort without compromising any of the sound quality you’re going to enjoy.

Design

In the design department Sennheiser absolutely knocks it out of the park again, creating an almost “rattlesnake like” texture all over these headphones that gives it a real edge you’re going to appreciate.

Clean, modern, and very understated (outside of that rattlesnake texture, anyway), these are somewhat unassuming headphones that look a lot classier and more professional than most anything else out there on the market today.

It gives high performance and mind blowing audio quality as this headphone is audiophile oriented. For various mobile phones and most of music players, this headphone is really suitable.

Features of Sennheiser Momentum Headphones:

Momentum Headphone from Sennheiser looks really sophisticated, covered with leather, headband made of stainless steel and ear cushions to pad them nicely. You won’t feel it heavy to wear or won’t find it pumped up. The Momentum Headphones sounds crispy clear whatever may be the type of music or movie or any type of audio.
