Great frequency response, low distortion
Lightweight, comfortable design
Isolate poorly, active cancellation or not
In-line controls seem poorly designed
Introduction
The Sennheiser PXC 250-IIs are the sequel to Sennheiser’s popular PXC 250s, and not much has changed. The headphones fold up a bit better than their predecessors, but otherwise remain the same, solid set of active noise-cancelling cans. At about $150, the PXC 250-IIs aren’t exactly a budget option, but they offer great audio quality in a very light-weight, portable package.
