Premium closed-back wireless headphones with active noise reduction, built-in microphone and Bluetooth 5 support with AAC, aptX and aptX Low Latency codecs. Positioned as a product of the top price category of 2019, designed for mobile users who want to get the most out of listening to Hi-Res tracks. They are the result of further development of the ideas embodied in the previous Sennheiser PXC 550 model of 2016.
Thanks to the high-tech digital noise reduction system with Anti-Wind ANC, the PXC 550-II Wireless headphones automatically adapt to the ambient noise level and effectively cancel external background sounds. Better than their predecessors, they cope with difficult acoustic conditions caused by wind, traffic noise, etc. They have a simple and reliable folding design with soft ear cushions and a moderate weight (227 g). Easily folded into a complete case and transported in a bag / backpack. Provide balanced and accurate sound of any musical genres. Unlike cheaper models, they have a normalized coefficient of non-linear distortion. Good ergonomics guarantee comfort during long wearing, and the built-in Li-Pol battery provides up to 20 hours of sound with active noise reduction.

I liked them, the volume is excellent, everyone I let listen asked to turn it down even at 80 percent. Synchronization with the device is quick, but there's a lack of switching between devices. Noise cancellation is sufficient (mainly blocks low frequencies). The transparency mode is great (although I don't use it), but auto-pause is not correct (which might cause someone's sound to interrupt while moving). After 2 years, I changed the ear cushions; by the 4th year, the headband started to crumble, and by the 5th year, the cable became slightly frayed at the folding point (contact is lost). I use them very actively. The sound is top-notch for me. The sound is good (I adjust it in the app as needed depending on usage). Ergonomics (doesn't press on ears and head). The controls are extremely simple and intuitive. Not that I'm disappointed, but I can point out incorrect autopause and the lack of device switching as downsides. It's a pity that the cable wore out at the bend (but that's 5 years, Karl). And also, micro USB. |
The build quality leaves much to be desired, and the presence of microUSB is frankly surprising in 2020. The plastic looks cheap. The headphones have a nice soft lining, unfortunately, it heats up the ears a lot. I was disappointed by the fact that the headphones are quiet. And it is a brand known for its sound quality. The sound mode cannot be selected directly in the headphones, this must be done through the application. To enjoy the sound, I have to turn up the volume. It is difficult to find a golden mean for listening to music in such cases: sometimes too quiet, sometimes too loud. In addition, the headphones can pause playback. I don't even touch the earpiece and it just pauses every 2-3 seconds. The touchpad in the headphones is surprisingly good: very responsive and not picky. Noise canceling is terrible. Sometimes I hear strange echoes. I do not use the voice assistant function. Headphones are disappointing. Nice soft ear pad. The touchpad in the headphones is good: very responsive and not picky. Build quality is poor, plastic looks cheap. The lining makes the ears very warm. Headphones are quiet. The sound mode cannot be selected directly in the headphones, this must be done through the application. Headphones can pause playback for 2-3 seconds. Noise canceling is terrible.
