2019 still using them . They are ahead of their time. Great headphones! I tried Bose qc 35, b&o 9hi, Sony x1000m3 and they are all good but I ended up going back to my pxc 550 all the time.
same here. had mine 3 years now. Zero issues. Great headphones. I was tied between these and the sony Mdx2000 (i think they where called) and saw 70+ people had broken headphones due to bad designs. Sony didn't repair them for free so that was a decision for me when considering how much money sony make.. Plus the Sony cans are way too big and less stylish in my opinion. Overall, highly recommended, best out there even if the noise cancelling is SLIGHTLY better for the Sony's these take gold.
Just bought these for about $200. I love them. I also have a pair of B&O H9i, and I have to say I think I like these even better. They sound great, fit my big head comfortably, the touch controls work flawlessly, and they fold into a nice, compact package. I would have loved them at $400. At $200? Absolute steal!
+Brady Cox I'm not confident enough to say they would hold up in an environment like that. Definitely wouldn't take them to the range. Thabks for the comment!
I realize this is two years later but for anyone looking into buying these...the volume will sound low when you first plug them in. There are three separate volume controls you need to be aware of. Not only your usual main computer volume and video player volume but also the volume on the headphones themselves. You're going to want to pump up the headphone volume to get it loud and it gets plenty loud.
Thomas I was confused by "you can really pump the volume" I have read reviews that said the volume is pretty low when on high, and much less than the Bose. thoughts?
Great review. How are they like heat-wise on the ears after some time in use? I hate sweating my ears :D I've heard it's a problem with the Sony WH-1000XM3.
dude i got the headsets 2 days ago. my mic is FULL of static . whether i am in my room with no sound or im outside or anywhere. no one can really hear me because its very static filled. Is there anyway to fix this massive intense static on the mic ? i tried making calls from pc and from my iphone with bluetooth and wired. makes no difference. any help or tip would be appreciated
Sound is tremendous on PXC550 and compared to the Bose QC35 II it was just another level of experience! Not even close to the Bose , it was just sound awesome!!
Paul Cotton I think they are really close but I think Sennheiser are more comfortable and beautiful than Sony . But Sony have slightly more technologies.
I can get the Sennheiser PXC 550 for 288 dollars - I can get Bose QC 35 ii for 363 dollars - I can get the Sony WH-1000XM2 for 303 dollars Which should I get?
I liked your video. I bought a pair on cyber monday for $200. I prefer over-ear size cans, so they are taking a little getting used to there. Functionality wise I like them quite a bit, nothing more I'd ask for. The biggest problem is they sound like $50 headphones. The sound quality is just average. I am not impressed, but I am too lazy to attempt to return them or resell them. I think they will serve their purpose, but I'd recommend others shop around for something else.
Not very good on the sound quality part. You need more experience and knowledge before doing reviews on sound quality. First of all, you never talk about sound quality without a reference. Bose qc35 would be a good reference. That way your review is more objective and less subjective.
Pick up a pair of these headphones here ► amzn.to/2feCU4w

am i able to pair my headphones to my pc??
Hello. I can not connect my PXC 550 headset to my iPhone X and I would like to know why
Great review as always. do you think these would be sufficient for using at a shooting range?
+Brady Cox I'm not confident enough to say they would hold up in an environment like that. Definitely wouldn't take them to the range. Thabks for the comment!
Since the On/Off switch is in the hinge, What happens if you have the bluetooth switched off and the ANC switched off?
Nice review T! Super informative
Appreciate the love brosuf!
Tomas I Cant use the pxc550 wired when the battery die.
Very detailed review.. Good job 👍
@thomasvillegas how can you tell real ones from fake ones? are there any distinguishing marks on these?
Tomas, what do you think about using these headphones in the gym as far as staying on the head laying down and moving all around? Strong fit? Thx
They would work ok in a gym environment if you like over the ear in the gym. They have a snug fit and are easily cleanable.
U gotta new (15,069) subscribers... Hope u will reach 100k nd more subscribers soon.. Very quality video 👏🙏
Great review here.....I got mine today love them. Is your volume low on the model you had or have?
Speedsk8r is the volume low?

Great review! Thanks Tomas.
Thanks for the comment Alex!
Very good review Tom! I'm using them for about a month and boy oh boy! these are simply awesome.
Thanks for taking time to comment! Glad they are working out great 👍🏻
does it sound good paired up to an i phone or window device?
Who can tell me why my headphones are slowly charging! Full charge from 0 to 100% lasts 12 hours!
Be sure to turn them off fully by turning the earcups
Just picked these up for 260 euros. Absolute steal
That is a great deal.
Thomas I was confused by "you can really pump the volume" I have read reviews that said the volume is pretty low when on high, and much less than the Bose. thoughts?
They sound good to me. Equally as good as the Bose alternative.
I got these headphones 2 days ago but i have one issue with them..
The regular Bluetooth doesn't connect
Only NFC can, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Contact Sennheiser.
Tomas Villegas
How
I ordered them online on ebay..
hold the effect mode button 4 seconds when the music is turned off
I can't get them to pair either - hold down 4 seconds doesn't work
This is awesome. Just the right wireless headphone I'm looking for. Thanks for the review.
Appreciate you watching!
Great review. How are they like heat-wise on the ears after some time in use? I hate sweating my ears :D I've heard it's a problem with the Sony WH-1000XM3.
These will probably result in sweaty ears as well. The seal around them is pretty snug fitting and the leather tends to get hot.
for the Sennheisers, can I use the ANC with the sennheiser connected via usb or the audio jack?? or the ANC only will work in wireless mode??
You can use them wired or wireless.
Hi,like your review.Can you tell me does PXC550 comfortable to wear for long hours?thx
The pads are really comfortable, you can wear them for awhile without any issue.
Thank you
What is your oppinion about what the reprots of footsteps planting as "bass pulse" sounds when using these on the go?
I didn't have any issues in my testing.
Would like to hear your thoughts on the audio technical ath-m50x. They are inexpensive and have a pretty good sound and build quality.
I hear they are good, I've only owned one pair of Audio Technica headphones and they were great.
does the sound quality get better with the jack wire plugged in?
Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless or the Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless?
I'm gonna buy one of them and I dont know which one has a better sound quality.
Óscar Jökull me too!!, please help us!!!!!!!
what do u think about the sound leaking
There's not much of it.

Definitely contact Sennheiser, this isn't normal function.
How would you compare the audio quality of the pxc 550's to the Bose QC 35's?
+Kimberly Campbell I can't haven't used the 35s yet.
Sound is tremendous on PXC550 and compared to the Bose QC35 II it was just another level of experience! Not even close to the Bose , it was just sound awesome!!
Paul Cotton but could you compare to Sony Wh-1000xm2 and Sennheiser PXC550, which one better?
Paul Cotton I think they are really close but I think Sennheiser are more comfortable and beautiful than Sony . But Sony have slightly more technologies.
I BOUGHT THESE HAD TO TAKE THEM BACK, I GOT THE BOSE QC35 S THEY SOUND MUCH BETTER. I M VERY HAPPY NOW.
would be good for gym workout?? i just love this headphones
amazing review btw
Might be tough to use in a gym, but you could make it work.
why tough? are they to big? they seem to be very comfortable, or they can fall easily?
Great video and review.
Great review and great name!
WANT TO PURCHASE, CONFUSING BETWEEN SENHEISER PXC550 OR BEATS STUDII 3? PLEASE SUGGEST ME ANYONE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Either one are great. You can't lose with your decision.
From 399$ , now its 220$ and really worth for the money now
Great review! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I can get the Sennheiser PXC 550 for 288 dollars - I can get Bose QC 35 ii for 363 dollars - I can get the Sony WH-1000XM2 for 303 dollars
Which should I get?
If you like netural headphones, the sennhiser. If you like V shaped fun then sony
Great review! "cancelization" isn't the word you were looking for though :p
You're 100% right, hahaha!
Pretty sure he said asymmetric instead of symmetric as well.
Listening to Carl Cox on these suckers now...oh yeahhhhh...lets go lets go
Learned a lot... thx.
Thanks for watching 👍
They are great. I've heard people with hearing aids struggle with Bluetooth because the phones shut down. Just don't use hearing aids.
Bought these. Wore them 10 minutes and had to take them off. Too tight clamp force. Ouch. Returned them for bose
i just bought the ausdom m06 nice well priced just great only phone talks aren't great..
Would love these, but as I watch mostly films with head phone on they are useless, They have no Aptx Low Latency , the audio would be out of sync.
And also the app doesn't work with these headphone's.It doesn't work with google play.....
very informative.
Thanks 👍🏻
I liked your video.

they suck ,pairing with pc is a pain in the ass while do it with a phone no problem ,still unable to pair it with a pc ,or bluetooth speakers
same problem. wtf? did you find any solutions?
I have these... the bluetooth fails and you can't fix it. It happens all the time- look it up.
Nice though I like my Sony Mdr 1000x
+Ettianne Anshin thanks!
Ettianne Anshin Is there any creaking sound come from your hp?
They don’t last forever ! The ANC are terrible !
These headphone are useless with iPhone iPad they won’t connect
they aren't durable
They suck

bullshit because reviewing soundquality is subjective anyway.
