This review is from: Sennheiser PXC 450 - NoiseGard Active Noise Canceling Headphones (Electronics)
"For those of you looking for a quiet place to listen to your music in peace look no further than the sennheiser pxc 450s. I have been the owner of three pairs of Bose noise cancelling headphones , the qc2s qc3s and the qc15s. I was always sure based on heavy marketing that these were the best in the market but after looking at the reviews on the sennheisers I thought Id give them a try. Well from the word go after opening the box I realised these are somthing else . I mean really somthing else!!!!!. The build quality is superb like a tank!! and very comfortable. Sennheiser are innovators in the headphone market they produce audiophile quality equipment. Now as for sound quality this is the best bit I cannot emphasise enough these are absolutely superb!!!!! these are audiophile quality they absolutely blow bose off of the face of the earth I cant put these down my wife is distraught with me !! jokes aside there is no comparison, and I hope this helps others to make the right decision. Bass is tight and controlled vocals midrange natualand highs are very accurate. They say that with noise cancelling headphones you lose quality , not with these you dont. the soundstage is also quite large giving you a wonderfully realistic listening experiance. I promise you buy with the utmost of confidence well done Sennheiser I am so pleased with my purchase!!!!!!!!!!! "
