Part 3 Noise Cancelling Headphone Review – The S

This is the largest of all the cans we tested, and delivered fairly good comfort and adjustability. It folds up and stores in a hard-sided carry case that is only marginally the largest of the group of cans reviewed here.

Frequency response of the Sennheiser PXC 450

The PXC 450 has a “Talk-Through” feature that when pushed opens a mic so you can communicate with others without removing the cans. This feature also continues to use the noise cancelling and filters the outside voice so that speech intelligibility is actually improved when talking with others in a noisy environment.In addition to the talk-through feature these cans also have a volume control and a detachable cable (handy for when you’re just reducing noise without playing any music), and replaceable earpads for a long use life.

While these cans were perfectly adequate at filtering out noise, and their measured performance was fairly good as noise cancellers go, their audio performance was lack luster, slightly weak in bass and dynamics, and sounding a bit withdrawn and lifeless in the midrange.
