About - Sennheiser PXC 310 BT

The Sennheiser PXC 310 BT is part of the headphone test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, noise-canceling headphone models like the PXC 310 BT are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Sound quality:
Represents the tonal accuracy, clarity, detail, ambience, and dynamics of the audio reproduced by the headphone.

Noise reduction:
Represents how well the headphone reduces ambient noise when the active noise cancelation feature is activated.

Sensitivity:
An assessment of how loud headphones will play for a given audio input signal level. This is an important consideration if the headphones will be used with audio devices that have relatively low maximum audio output signal levels like some battery powered portables. Some models have 2 sensitivity levels given: one with the highest selectable setting or noise-reduction switch ON and the other with the lowest selectable setting or noise-reduction switch OFF.

Comment:
These are the greatest headphones I have ever owned. I received them as a gift and have no complaints.<br /><br />Firstly, I have small ears and a small head and every style of headphones I've ever tried didn't fit well. These can adjust for small heads and they are tight enough that they don't slip off.<br /><br />The features are incredible, and I set up the BT with my iPhone. Nothing is more eerie than listening to and controlling your music with headphones from the other side of the room without wires. You have to try it to believe it! I can pause my music, fast forward and backward, and change the volume without touching my iPhone. The BT was very easy to set up.<br /><br />The noise cancelling seems to work well for ambient noise, particularly white noise such as that experienced on an airplane or from a fan. Although, the ear cups form such a great seal with my ears that I don't even need to activate the noise cancelling half of the time.<br /><br />As for style, I am quite happy with the style of these. They are not an obnoxious neon color, nor are they large. These headphones are quite small, especially considering the features packed inside of them and will not make you look like a DJ on your way to a business conference.<br /><br />The headphones come with lots of little accessories, many of which would be great for travelling. International plug adapters are included, along with some other random adapters (there's one to plug into things like electric keyboards and guitars), a storage case, and pretty much every accessory a person could need, except for spare parts. It's all a nice bonus.<br /><br />The battery charges in a few hours and lasts different amounts of time, depending on which features you have on or off.<br /><br />Overall, I love these. Expensive, but you get high quality headphones packed with features and lots of included accessories.

Comment:
We bought these to use at home to save the peace in our home. My partner can now watch his movies quietly and at night the signal carries into the bedroom to be worn at night to listen to his favorite cable soft jazz station. They were a bit complicated to hook up to our existing system but well worth the price. We have the newest model and have never looked back.
How long have you owned it:
