Sennheiser Pcx 550 Drivers5/6/2021
But the PXC 550 Wirelesses allow Sennheiser to edge ahead in the brand war, by proving clearer and more rhythmically surefooted than the Bose QuietComfort 35 s.
![]() Sennheiser Pcx 550 Bluetooth For TheSennheiser married noise cancelling and Bluetooth for the first time in its Momentum 2.0 Wireless (380), and Bose has replied by applying the same functionality to its QuietComfort 35 s (290). Now, right on cue, we have the Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless: noise-cancelling, wireless follow-ups to the PXC 450 s, and more affordable options to the existing Momentum 2.0 Wireless model. Having two similarly priced, similarly featured models in a headphone line-up may seem odd, but Sennheiser says the PXC 550s are aimed at the discerning business traveller. Comfort Fruity seems an unusual adjective to describe a pair of headphones especially ones as polished and businesslike as these but with its thick extra cushioning in the middle and silver metal details at either end, the headband is banana-shaped, while the oval ear cups are like enlarged pear drops. Ergonomically, that makes sense for cushioning the PXC 550 Wireless 227g weight and covering your ears as over-ear headphones should. Despite all the technology crammed into the cups, they are surprisingly trim. Their tastefully classic matte black finish looks thoroughly suited to sit atop the head of Sennheisers target audience, presumably City AM or Financial Times readers. Build With a pricetag of 330300, these Sennheiser headphones might cost more than the average Joe might ordinarily spend on headphones, though anyone looking to defend the spend here should know that they wont have to shell out for new earmuffs next winter. The thick leather pads hug your ears snug, not too oppressive and do a good job blocking out external noise. That level of isolation the alone time promised by manufacturers is taken further by two levels of NoiseGard Hybrid active noise-cancellation, the same technology featured in the Momentums. ![]() MORE: Best noise-cancelling headphones 2016 On the battery front, the PXC 550s have a claimed 30 hours of noise-cancelling duty before they need a top-up via the USB-type B charging port, though invariably that number will take a hit when listening wirelessly. When its flat, a cable for wired listening can slot into 3.5mm socket on the right ear cup so the music doesnt have to end when the battery does. Thats complete with a one-button in-line remote for general call and playback controls, though during wireless playback the touch-sensitive controls built into the right ear-cup are your go-to instead. Tap the cup once to pauseplay and answerend calls, and swipe your finger up and down it to change volume. Its a neat concept thats been adopted by a few brands, although it is rather too easy to accidentally pause a song by brushing your hand over the headphones. Apps for cans seem to have caught on too, and thats where Sennheisers CapTune comes in. While not necessary to operate the PXC 550s, its worth a look for its music player, battery status indicator and EQ settings adjustments. The Sennheisers fold and can easily be scrunched up in a ball and slotted into their soft material case, but theres more to it than that. Taking the effort out of pressing buttons, it powers up automatically when unfolded or, more specifically as the right ear cup twists open and turns off when folded. ![]() When it comes to performance, however, the Momentums edge them with greater clarity and expression.
