The Sennheiser PXC 250 headphones represent the absolute pinnacle of portable audio design. Rich, punchy bass pours out of the “Duofol” diaphragms and with Kevlar reinforced OFC copper cabling, you don’t have to worry about severing the vital speaker wires from the earpieces. The PXC 250 headphones are built to fold and flip for quick and safe storage and with switchable NoiesGard noise compensation ambient noise is all but completely eliminated from your listening experience.

This model appears to be based on the HFI-700. With fairly bright treble, reasonable midrange and an emphasis on midbass, they'd be a decent choice for movie watching and some games, but unfortunately the bass tends to a little boomy and slow sounding, overwhelming finer details, and treble tends to be a little sharp. If you're after a closed model that's easy to drive and fairly bassy, these might be a reasonable choice, but for a balanced sound they aren't a great pick. As usual, Ultrasone do a good job of making a closed headphone sound much less boxed in, so soundstage is very nice for a closed model. Comfort levels and durability are reasonable, and it appears that the infamous Ultrasone headbands are now made out of a more flexible material that isn't as prone to cracking. Less

Blissful EARgasms

bycriteeker Nov 3, 2003
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros works VERY well at knocking out outside noise, good bass response too
Cons none really other than the cables can get caught up on things
Recommended it? Yes

Have you ever been really annoyed by outside noise while listening to music or radio with your headphones? Noise canceling headphones are the blissful answer.

The way noise canceling headphones work is quite simple. Imagine the sound that radio makes without being tuned in. Similar to... Read full review »

Cons Noise Cancellation Device Quite Big, Sound Quality So-so with Noise Cancellation Off

What is Noise Cancellation
Noise cancellation usually implies active noise reduction (ANR), although sometimes the passive ways to reduce noise can also be called by this name. Passive noise reduction uses sound absorbing material to reduce noise from going into your ears. They are usually... Read full review »

A Different World Of Sound!

bycmdr Jun 6, 2010
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Stellar sound and better than average build quality.
Cons Price may put some people off. Not real 5.1 surround.
Recommended it? Yes

Most nights I watch a movie or a recording of a TV sci-fi or action show. I'm fortunate to have assembled an impressive 5.1 surround sound system which completely dominates our living space but unfortunate to have a partner who is early to bed, early to rise and (not unreasonably) can't stand loud...

Good choice for sealed headphones.

byexcaliburn Jun 2, 2010
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good sound quality, low price, 1/8" plug, very good cable.
Cons Less comfortable than non-sealing, prominent bass.
Recommended it? Yes

First off, let me say that I own a lot of higher-end headphones.  The HFI-780s are not the best I've ever heard, but they are very good and one of the better options if you need sealed headphones. If you don't, I'd give consideration to AKG, Beyerdynamic, or Grado.  This is the third pair... Read full review »
