The editors didn't like
The touch controls simply aren't responsive enough for more complicated actions such as skipping through multiple tracks. I used them for quickly pausing or resuming my music
But for the most part I'd rely on my music player for anything more demanding
It's pricier than the Bose
While the sound quality is excellent for Bluetooth
It's lacking that little bit of extra sparkle and definition (Sennheiser's own Momentum II Wireless sounds better)

Abstract: Early last month, Sennheiser revealed a successor to the highly-regarded – but now quite old – PXC 450 noise-canceling travel headphones. The stylish PXC 550 s come with an integrated rechargeable battery instead of two AAA-sized replaceables, touch panel...

Abstract: State of the headphone artI'll admit that the touch controls take some getting used to and can initially feel difficult to master but will eventually feel natural once you get used to it.Sennheiser designed these headphones for long-haul flights and they...
The Sennheiser PXC550 seems to be a pretty decent pair of active noise cancelling wireless headphones which can be found for a good price. It has a fairly neutral, slightly warm tone, with good noise cancelling quality and excellent beamforming microphone...
If there's been any guiding principle for Sennheiser's approach to the high-end audio market, it's been that you don't have to be an audiophile to want genuinely good sound. The PXC 550 Wireless embody this sentiment to a tee. While they're a little on th...
Familiarity will aid enjoyment of the PXC 550s. The controls are unintuitive to a new user, but if you digest the full manual they certainly deliver an excellent sound. Play with the many EQ options, but always compare the results with flat performance, b...
