The editors didn't like
Touch controls may not suit some
Volume gesture could be more granular
Non-user-replaceable battery
$50 more expensive than Bose QC35
Expensive
Mixed sound performance
Control pad is easy to misfire in certain modes
Possible to accidentally power the headphones up or down because of swiveling earcup controls
Digital signal processing is not for purists
Noise cancellation could be better
Touch controls are hit and miss
The buttons can be hard to find
As they are nearly flush with the casing. Plus
The minimal labeling is black on black
Making it hard to know what each button does
The Quick Guide that comes in the box is poorly written and hard to understand
However
It's pricier than the Bose
While the sound quality is excellent for Bluetooth
It's lacking that little bit of extra sparkle and definition (Sennheiser's own Momentum II Wireless sounds better)
If there's been any guiding principle for Sennheiser's approach to the high-end audio market, it's been that you don't have to be an audiophile to want genuinely good sound. The PXC 550 Wireless embody this sentiment to a tee. While they're a little on th...
Familiarity will aid enjoyment of the PXC 550s. The controls are unintuitive to a new user, but if you digest the full manual they certainly deliver an excellent sound. Play with the many EQ options, but always compare the results with flat performance, b...

A full-featured, full-sized, yet fairly compact, Bluetooth, ANC headset that plays in the same price and specifications space as Bose Quiet Comfort 35 or Parrot Zik 3.Comparisons are subjective but it is as good at noise reduction as the Bose, it has the...

Abstract: Noise cancelling headphones were originally aimed almost completely at air travellers. If you're a regular traveller you'll know how loud aeroplanes can be and if you want to work on a flight it's a major problem. Sennheiser refers to this in their market...
