Very comfortable; compact, foldable design;
excellent high-frequency detail; taut, powerful bass; highly effective
noise-canceling circuitry; storage case included; two-year warranty.Sennheiser's
$150 PXC250 noise-canceling headphones are among the best of the breed.
Although this model uses an over-the-ear design, its ear cups are the
most compact we've seen. Still, the soft, leatherlike cushions seal out
ambient noise while the padded headband provides long-term comfort.
First-rate sound quality rounds out the equation with extended bass and
detailed midrange.
The 250s' ability to provide a hushed quiet over a broad spectrum of frequencies--bass to midrange--was equaled by only that of the twice-as-expensive Bose QuietComfort 2. Its noise-quashing powers are evident on planes, trains, and noisy city streets. We did note that turning on the noise-canceling function added a small amount of hiss, but it was inaudible in the busier environments where the feature would likely be activatedsennheiser pxc 250
