Great audio quality, noise cancelling excellent, folds to be more compact

Price will be inhibitive for some

Noise-cancelling works well ; Great overall sound quality ; Comfortable ; Reasonably well riced ; Comes with travel case

Bulky to travel with

Sound quality ; Noise cancelling ; Leak-free even at high volume ; Great build quality ; Price ; Lightweight

No 'TalkThrough' feature as seen on PXC 450s ; Less inspiring sound without batteries

Good for the money but we're not convinced by its noise-cancelling abilities

Good value for money, driving sound

Noise canceling ability could be better

Sennheiser PXC-350 are high-end headphones that cancel noise. Each earcup of the headphones is equipped with a dynamic transducer combined with a dual-layer Duofol diaphragm. It is leak-free despite high volumes, light weight, and has great build...

These noise-cancelling headphones are so good you'd struggle to hear Brian Blessed doing a Pavarotti impression if he was standing right in front of you. Sennheiser claims up to 85 per cent of ambient noise is killed off by NoiseGard, and when we...

Unfortunately, the included in-flight adapter didn't fit the sockets on our particular plane (a British Airways Boeing 747), which was a disappointment. You also need a couple of AAA batteries to power the NoiseGard function. Listening to music without...
