Brief Review: Sennheiser PXC 250 Active Noise Canceling Headphones

with one comment


I tried these out in a local HiFi store and found them to be very nice headphones. The sound was quite ‘tinny’ with the noise-cancelling circuit off, but a very rich and beautiful sound with the circuit engaged.

However, I ended up having to return them. It turns out that the circuit wasn’t shielded against 2.4GHz spectrum, and in the office it suffered an incessant humm from the 2.4GHz devices. Most disappointing and I had expected more from a product designed to cancel noise in the office (I had purchased with the intent being to use them in the office, and for travel).

I would buy them again in a flash if they produced a model that was shielded from interference.

  1. I’ve got a pair of these I bought a few years ago. I agree, they are not that good unless the noise cancelling is on. I don’t get the hum, but then again I’m probably not in the same kind of wireless environment.
