The brand new headphones from Sennheiser are AMAZING value. With both noise cancelling (just as good as another BIG name brand who shall remain nameless) and Bluetooth technology, these headphones represent excellent value for money. They sound if anything better than the OTHER brand but are not quite as comfortable. (the ear cups are just slightly smaller but still use memory foam. Ideal for people with small ears. We have in store pick up and demonstration if you are in Sydney.
Any deals for the PXC 550?
Addicted to Audio had them for 468. I think the deal is still active.
In recent time with ebay 20% off deal it was for 429. (Alas I bought from addicted to audio)
Just dont buy them at retail 630.
So right now it's this vs Backbeat Pro's 2…anyone here have an opinion?
Can't comment on the Sennheisers, but battery life, bluetooth range and passive noise reduction of the backbeat pro 2s are pretty stellar. They're quite comfortable, slightly bass heavy but not objectionably so imo, and active nc is decent. I imagine the Sennheisers would probably sound better.
What is call quality like on the Backbeat Pro 2? It says custom SBC which is promising as the QC35s sound very average when it comes to call quality.
This is the budget version of the PXC550. Review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfkakS7eQ8c
