Sennheiser PXC 300 Noise Cancelling Headphones Review
Categories: Reviews, SennheiserThe Bose Quiet Comfort range have sat unchallenged at the top of the noise canceling headphones pile for some time now but I had high hopes of a challenger when Sennheiser announced their PXC 300 noise canceling headphones. Unfortunately, according to Pocket-Lint’s review, they don’t quite match up.
Giving the headphones a disappointing 5 out of 10, Pocket-Lint were impressed with the noise-canceling and sound quality of these headphones but felt the design let them down.
In choosing a smaller form-factor than the Bose ‘phones, Sennheiser elected to place the necessary batteries in a tube on the cables. Unfortunately, Pocket-Lint found this awkward and just plain annoying. Also, they found the 2 meter cable just got in the way, perhaps Sennheiser could’ve included a selection of detachable cables?
Overall, it’s disappointing for company with a record like Sennheiser to make such basic mistakes. Hopefully they can get it right next time.
