Sennheiser PXC 450 review
The PXC 450 is a circumaural high-end travel headphone set with
NoiseGard™ 2.0 technology and TalkThrough function for the best possible
attenuation of ambient noise. The PXC 450 enables an unprecedented sound
experience for people on the move, thanks to its adaptive baffle damping in
combination with the patented Duofol diaphragms, which prevent unwanted
partial oscillation and thus guarantee a highly natural, lifelike sound
quality. NoiseGard™ is an active noise compensation system which
Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots, who have to rely on good
sound quality and efficient protection against ambient noise even in
high-noise environments. NoiseGard™ actively compensates the noise, based
on the physics principle of sound and counter-sound. NoiseGard™ 2.0 has
perfected the NoiseGard™ principle thanks to the use of optimised
circuitry design and even more efficient processors. It also uses better
quality microphones, which enable more sophisticated pick-up of unwanted
noise. Specially developed filter algorithms enable improved active noise
compensation of up to 90% (23 dB). It is of course also possible to use
these headphones passively, i.e. without NoiseGard™ and without
batteries. Users of a PXC 450 who wish to communicate with their neighbours
can do so without taking off the headphones: when the TalkThrough function
is activated, professional quality microphones mounted on the outside of
the headphones pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vicinity.
Unwanted background noise, such as the sound of the engines on a plane, is
filtered out electronically to a great extent, so that only the
neighbour’s voice is passed on through the headphones into the user’s
ear in top audio quality. The PXC 450 is foldable and is supplied complete
with practical transport case, 2 AAA batteries and audio adaptors (double
mono and 6.3mm). Volume control integrated in the headphones and a
single-sided detachable and replaceable cable ensure maximum convenience
for the user.
