Sennheiser PXC 550 REVIEW! The Streak Is OVER!

2018-03-05
what is up guys is BT back here again with another review today we finally finally finally get to take a look at the Sennheiser px C 550 s coming in at 350 dollars they are direct competitor to Sony's WH 1000 X and to s and the bose qc25 sand and the Bowers & Wilkins P X's now I've been loving all of Sennheiser's wireless headphones lately so can these keep that amazing streak going of amazing Sennheiser wireless headphones let's find out today so in the box you'll find a case a 3.5 millimeter adapter an airplane adapter handy for those of you who travel and finally a USB charger one thing that was oddly satisfying about the pxc 550 is how you turn on these things you simply twist the right ear cup from the laid down position and bam they are on and they are ready to pair on the right ear cup you'll find the Bluetooth switch and effect mode which I'll get into a little bit later with sound profiles like a club a movie and a speech mode I'll get into which profile I prefer the most out of the three later on in the review the noise cancellation switch is also on the right ear cup now you may be saying where are the volume buttons where are the controls well the pxc 550 sr touch controlled and for my testing these are some of the most accurate touch controls my fingers have ever laid themselves upon I have never had any accidents with controlling the music the volume goes up and down when I want when I want to skip a track back or forward to a positive track it is super responsive all the way around I'd even put these over the Sony's touch controls for sure the ear cups are oval shaped and very comfortable the overall footprint of these headphones is very small and I don't recommend them for people with big heads though sorry guys the leather used here is very comfortable and doesn't get very hot for those of you who want to work out in these overall I love the lightweight design of these headphones Sennheiser has been killing the game when it comes to sound their HD 1 series being some of the best wireless headphones on the market I however find these to be a bit thin these do not feel like they go with the Sennheiser name at all I don't know I think I just expected more from them I honestly think that they're for point 40s and the 4.50 s are a lot better sounding these are super neutral probably even more neutral than the Bose QC 35 s and that's saying a lot I found these to lack a lot of the emotion necessary now these do have a cap tune app which you can change the huge you can look over the noise cancellation and things like that but I didn't feel like it helped that much compared to their other headphones it may be slightly bumped the bass slightly bumped the mids and things like that but it still left me wanting more and on top of that the max volume is just so so low I mean did I just want to fill something with these headphones anything at all movie mode seems to be the best in terms of sound quality all the other modes accentuate just how thin this sound is I think that the Sennheiser 4.50 s sound more clear and crisp at a lower price point and offer noise cancellation - what is being offered in the P X C's they really like that power and like all aspects here if there is a silver lining though with these headphones it is that they offer great noise cancellation it's very very strong but it stays out of your way you can increase the noise cancellation with the slider which is nice the battery life is great at 30 hours more than enough time for the longest of lay overs and flights they also charge pretty fast I mean they fully charge in about three hours which is really good these also feature NFC pairing and bluetooth 4.2 from my testing NFC can be a little bit finicky in crowded areas and stuff like that voice max makes your voice sound crystal clear let's just get that out of the way right now when making phone calls it does let in outside noise though and it can be a little bit distracting especially if you're in a crowded place you're gonna hear like the music from the intercoms and people talking all around you so it's kind of like you're having a conversation with the person in the same room that you're in with all of the variables so some people may or may not like it I didn't really like it so with all that being said the pxc 550's are great noise cancellation headphone but that's as far as it goes if you care about sound then you'll probably be disappointed especially if you've heard some of Sennheiser's competitors like bose or sony so my recommendation is to pick up the HD one series or even the 450s by sennheiser if you're on a budget they offer better sound that actually packs a punch I mean whether we want to admit it or not emotions play a huge part on whether we like a headphone or not and I just can't see people feeling anything here alright guys so that is gonna do it for this review if you have any more questions feel free to ask me down below thank you guys for watching and I will see you guys in the next video don't forget to Like share comment and subscribe share with your friends and it's been your boy bt saying peace you
