Wonderful headphones... except they broke after a month [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I used these in a noisy cubicle environment and was very impressed at how it blocked out people's voices and ambient noise. They don't quite cover your entire ear but pretty close. The cords are nice and sturdy which was great (the Panasonic noise-canceling earbuds i got had very flimsy cords which caused a wiring malfunction).
BUT. After 1 month of daily use and being very ginger with my $220 purchase, I turned on the noise canceling one day and there was a loud, and eventually tortuous, static sound coming from one headphone. With the feature turned off it didn't happen. I returned them hoping for a replacement but I got a refund instead. I may try the similar PXC 250's which were very highly ranked by Consumer Reports. I'm keeping all the original packaging and invoice just in case!!!
Great for airplane travel [Posted on 2008-05-11]
A great, lightweight NC headset. I do a lot of traveling in all types of airplanes, and the 300s keep the noise out while providing excellent sound reproduction. In a jet airliner, the overall effect is terrific. In a turboprop, it is a godsend. The unique folding feature makes the included zipper pouch easy to store. I also like the airliner dual plug adapter, in case I want to watch what's on the airplane's entertainment system.
Good, compact NC headphones [Posted on 2008-06-13]
Very high performance noise canceling headphones without the bulk. Fairly comfortable to wear even while sleeping.
Don't fly without it [Posted on 2008-07-23]
This was my first set of noise-cancelling headphones, and I must say, the difference is astounding. Yes, the sound is good - yes, they're portable - yes, they have use-extending adapters, but the real difference is how you feel when you get off the plane.
I find myself much more relaxed, particularly after a long flight, when using these headphones. I've forgotten to bring them along on occasion, and the difference is significant.
I admit to using guinea pigs - I bought them as gifts to clients before buying one for myself. One client reported to me that he already owned a much more expensive set of Bose noise-reducing headphones, but preferred these Sennheisers.
I bought one for myself, and one for my wife. We love them, and leave them on every possible moment on the aircraft.
One tip - make sure you locate the "L" and "R" designations for the correct ear, as putting them on wrong can lead to sore ears.
Good value [Posted on 2008-08-23]
The PXC300's sound quality is very good, bright and pleasant. Noise reduction is respectable, not quite as good as Bose, but then it is only half the price. The noise reduction is significant and it definitely helps on long flights. The compact, light-weight design makes it comfortable and easy to carry. The folding mechanism seems a bit fragile so I'm happy to have the hard case. However, the cables are a bit stiff so watch out for pinching them in the case's zipper when you close it.
