I bought this item for my husband to use while studying. They didn’t block out any sound. They did make the sound a wee bit quieter… but nothing is blocked out. We are returning them as they are NO WHERE worth the $130 and buying ear plugs from the grocery store!

I had very high hopes for these headphones for my 20 hour trip to Brazil, but after they failed to lower the whine of the vacuum in the house, or the chatter of TV, I became suspicious of their performance. I then tested them head to head for sound performance against my standard Walkman headphones, and they sounded tinny and cheap verus the rich sound of the OEM Sony Walkman headphones. I now have them wrapped up for a product return. They aren’t worth carrying on the trip to Brazil.

Very nice to flod but still lack noise reduction. Good sounding headphones for foldable unit.
Rating: 4 / 5
That’s right; I’m just keeping it real! Just like everyone else trying to cancel out some background noise. The type of headphones I currently have are Altec Lansing. I use them for computer gaming because it has a microphone and a volume control. They are very good for under 50 dollars and I would give them a 4 star rating. Not a 5 because they hurt my ears after 2 hours.
Now the pros and cons for the Sennheiser PXC 250 Noise Canceling Headphones:
PRO: 1) Light weight/not that much pressure on the ears.
CONS: 1) Price: this product is worth about 30 dollars.
2) It didn’t really cancel any noise/about 20%.
3) Sound quality was just okay/not great.
4) It seams when you turned on the noise canceller all it did was make the song louder/WTF?
5) Tested it against my Altec’s and a co-workers 20 dollar Sony MDR-V150 and it failed.
6) With the noise canceller off the sound quality is bad to okay.
Summary: I do NOT recommend these headphones. Having headphones without a volume control is like having a TV without a remote.

Yikes. I had high expectations for a (…) pair of headphones, and the Sennheiser PXC250’s really let me down. First of all, the audio quality of these stink. Very tinny highs and non-existent lows. Not to mention, the noise cancellation technology really is nothing more than a hiss generator and volume booster that drown out the ambient sounds. The headphone cord is too short, and the power/control unit for the noise reduction is heavy, big, and always gets in the way.
If you want noise cancellation, spring for the Bose. Otherwise buy a better sounding headphone (my cruddy Labtec that I was replacing sounds better) and cranky the volume yourself!
