Special Features: The PXC 300 NoiseGard Advance is an ideal traveling companion, effectively reducing background noise on planes, trains and buses and therefore eliminating one of the main causes of stress while traveling. Users can sit back and relax with their favorite music or connect the headphones to the in-flight entertainment system â or even just wear them to enjoy some peace and quiet from the noise around them. And the PX 300 can be packed away in no time. Simply fold them together and store them in a small, shockproof case â ready for the next trip. The stylish design of the PXC 300 â brushed aluminum trim rings and high-attenuation ear pads made of a new kind of leatherette â is reflected in their natural, detailed sound. A special bass tube provides the necessary power at low frequencies. With the PXC300 NoiseGard Advance, Sennheiser has even succeeded in further enhancing the NoiseGard active noise compensation system. It now has a much lower sensitivity towards interference from such sources as cell phones. Constant low-frequency noise is reduced by up to 15 dB â even 10 dB would be perceived as halving the volume. Power is supplied to the NoiseGard electronics by two AAA batteries, providing the traveler with up to 80 hours of peace and quiet. Without batteries, the PXC 300 works just like normal headphones with passive noise attenuation. In addition to a handy carrying case, the PXC 300 comes with an adapter for audio systems and in-flight entertainment systems.

Summary: An oasis whenever you need one
Comment: The noise cancelling works well in many places: a noisy machine room, in a car (if you are not the driver), in the kitchen, etc. Your surrounding environment becomes so much nicer and quieter. Also, the noise cancelling enhances the sound quality too, so I have it on even in an already-quiet setting to enjoy better music. The headphone is very lightweight and comfortable. It works for heads of all sizes. With this the trip to the sierras where the roads are very rough due to the snow-plowing activities in the winter will be much easier.

Summary: Outstanding Traveling Companion
Comment: I'd never used noise-cancelling earphones before ordering this set and was very pleased with their performance on a flight from DC to California last month. They made a world of difference in comparison with the plain-vanilla earphones I'd used in the past to listen -- mostly to books on CD or tape -- while I flew. My hearing is pretty acute, but I've previously struggled to hear my portable audio player over the engine noise, always with the sound turned up as high as it would go.
On this last trip, I watched a DVD of the original 1962 Manchurian Candidate movie on a battery-operated player, and the new earphones made a tremendous difference. The dialogue came through clearly, and the earphones with comfortable -- even fell asleep with them on later in the trip. Carrying case is sturdy but reasonably compact. I had no problem with the small, separate battery unit, although sitting on an airplane doesn't give much insight about how it will function when out walking or running.
I own a set of good-quality earbuds for my iPod, and although they're feather-light, they tend to fall out when I move my head and the wires get tangled more often than I'd expected. I expect to use the Sennheisers with the iPod too, except when I want the ultra-portability of my earbuds.

Summary: Perfect for New Yorkers
Comment: It is a very nice device for walking the city streets. Headphones will reduce the NY hum to a minimal level but at the same time you are aware of your surroundings (you hear muffled car horns etc.). In addition, subway iPod listening also becomes possible. The only annoyance is a "dongle" with the batteries and all electronics, but you get very nice and comfortable ear pieces as a result. Now I am actually looking forward to the commute accompanied with a nice music selection.

Summary: Great headphones, and a great company.
Comment: These headphones have very good transparent sound quality. They're also quite comfortable. I can wear them for several hours without problems. When the noise cancellation is switched on, the bass becomes slightly heavier, and there's a small amount of hiss. However, the hiss is much less noticable than other noise cancelling phones I have used, and there's none of the "phasey" effects that are present in other nc phones.
What finally inspired me to write a review was the level of customer service. I caught the cord on a doorknob, and ripped it out of the battery pack. I left a message on Sennheiser's voicemail system, asking how much repair would cost. Within 20 minutes I had an email reply telling me repairs would be covered under the 2-year warranty. Now that's great service!

Summary: Sennheiser PXC 300 Noise Cancelling Headphones
Comment: I read a lot of reviews before making this purchase. I'm not an audiophile or a technical expert on this item but I have good hearing, I know what I like and I'm totally satisfied with these noise cancelling headphones. They're easy to use, fold up neatly for travel and the noise cancellation is amazing.
The active electronics are in a separate unit which also holds the batteries. This tends to mean the wires can get a little tangled but this is not a serious drawback. This is an excellent product. If I were to lose this headset, I'd buy the same model as a replacement.
