Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
9 Months Use Experience!
I have the PXC 550's approximately 9 months now and so far it's a decent wireless headphone. Bluetooth signal extends far and the touch controls off the right side of the headphones are great. Audio sounds great however, the volume is not too loud despite volume maxed. Biggest issue is right around the 6th month, the headphones on/off feature started to kinda fail. When the right ear cup twist to its on position, it usually fails and I have to adjust it a bit, to get it on again. So therefore, I don't recommend buying it, not worth the $200 price tag.

Versatile with great sound
I use these headphones for travel, commuting via public transit, and working in an office environment. In different environments I rely on bluetooth connectivity, USB (to listen while charging) and the conventional 1/8 jack. The noise cancellation is excellent, and the default audio presets are effective for the described usage ('club' for music, 'voice' for podcasts etc.) These are also pretty comfortable, especially when I am engaged in what I'm listening to I find myself wearing them for hours at a stretch. Definitely happy with this purchase.

Amazing Headphones, will not disappoint
These Headphones are something quite special. The Sound quality is absolutely fantastic for all types of music. They Look very stylish and fit well on both my head and my ears. The bluetooth connectivity is quick and doesn't lose connection like some other headphones I have had previously and also easy to use as is the sennheiser's noisegard noise cancelling feature which is miles better than any other headphones with the same feature. Love the Touch Pad feature too. I am so impressed with these

The headphones look amazing and sound amazing
The headphones come with a carry case which is a plus if you want to travel with them. Once I read the quick guide instructions which are very easy to understand I tried on the headphones and was connected to my phone within seconds, the sound quality was unbelievable and I couldn't hear any external noises I even turned my tv up to max and nope I still couldn't hear anything other than my favourite song playing in my ears from these amazing headphones. I love the swipe feature on the headphone.

Stunning sound quality
Over the weekend, I have wore these fantastic headphones, listening to a huge variety of music. The instructions were straight forward, and had them set up to my phone in minutes. Once I put them on and played my music, the quality was like no other headphones I had tried before. The sound was crystal clear, and love the app where change the sound settings to suit you. I wore these for many hours, and are so light and comfortable, yet stylish. I would highly recommend these headphones.

Positives: * Super comfy - easily worn for 6-8 hours * Noise cancelling & touch controls work great * No lag with wireless connectivity * Use them with PC and Samsung phone * They look great and feel like a high quality item Negatives * Very high cost - not sure it's justified * Can't use for chat on PC, requires bluetooth or a separate microphone sold separately * There is a sound like static sometimes * Expected more in terms of sound profiles and adjustment options

Cracking Set of Headphones
A really good pair of headphones, relatively light, very good sound quality and very comfortable. I like the that downloading the app to my phone, you know how much battery life there is left and you can adjust the sound using the equaliser to your personal taste. Only niggle is that the right earphone which you usefor volume, skip, and pause, the sensor is very sensitive and if you accidentally touch it or your coat hood brushes against it, it will pause the track you are listening to.

WOW. It just keeps getting better!
Before even opening the box you can see this is a quality product. Upon opening my expectations were exceeded. The storage case alone is fabulous and the extra accessories are a bonus. The headphones themselves are stylish, the working is seamless, and it instantly paired with my device and played music clearly. An amazing feature which stood out for me is the call feature, I could speak through the headphones and the sound is clearer than when I speak on my phone!!!!

Brilliant set of bluetooth headphones
These headphones are brilliant, they feel amazing and are very good quality material. You can move around the house (and leave your device elsewhere) and it still stays connected,(you can also use wires) and the music is very clear. The manual is very clear with pictures to help understand how to control them. The charge time is 3 hours but last very long once charged. They also fold down nicely into the headphone bag which is easy to carry and looks good too.

Great sound and stylish piece of kit
The PXC 550 are surprisingly easy to pair and the sound quality was excellent even at high levels. The outer right ear has two control buttons one for active noise cancellation the other is effect mode for club, speech, no effect or movie. The earphones automatically come on when opened into position and shut off when folded. Swiping the right ear controls all functions. These are very comfortable and great sound quality

great impedance
I tried on all the headphones at B&H (that were between $100-300 and weren't ugly or heavy), looking for noise cancelling and decent sound impedance. No headphones fully or even decently impede external noise from talking coworkers. But this one was better than others, including Bose Quiet Comforts. They do look a little odd but I'm used to it now and don't care much at all about the tapered alien-head look.

Fantastic set of wireless headphones
These headphones are fantastic, very comfy to wear, and very stylish. The sound quality is superb, with different sound settings, ie:- movies / club / speech.

You can even answer phone calls with a swipe of the touch pad on the headphones Charge time 3 hours, once changed will last up to an incredible 30 hours

My Experience
I have been using these for about couple of weeks and here are pro-con list. pros: 1. Decent noise cancellation. At-least on par with Bose. 2. Looks and feel ( interface ) is modern. 3. Software to personalize. 4. Comfortable on the ears. 5. Good battery life. cons: 1. If you have large head. 2. Accidental touching to control interface. 3. Sony 1000XM2 has slightly better noise cancellation.

Great sound and quality.
Sound quality and comfort are great! - I wish the sliding buttons that put it in noise canceling, or pass through modes was labeled or there was audio feedback on what the settings are. The twist for power on - off is nice once you get used to it. Pairing with multiple devices sometimes has unexpected results - but that is typical bluetooth.

Quality & Comfort
A great pair of headphones. Quality and build is good and the sound output is amazing. Clear and crisp. I do wish the bass was a bit more heavy however the EQ settings in the APP allow you to customize. The controls on the headphones are awesome! I dont even have to look at my phone! Definitely recommend.

Amazing sound!
I don't normally have big headphones but they sound great, battery lasts ages and they come in a handy case! Only downside is I find them a little heavy after long periods of wearing them. They are definitely sound proof though, I couldn't even hear the other half talking :)

Top quality Sound and great NC
Fantastic sound, great comfort and amazing noise cancelling. I left a much longer review on amazon, so please check that one. Its cheaper than Bose QC35, biggest competitor, and same if not better sound quality, same level of NC but looks more styllish.
