I have these i got them from best buy. I love them and what he said about them is totally true. And also sometimes the swipe controls gets laggy but they are really awesome headphone's.
Concise review. I like options of having to either use Bluetooth or wired. Wife can use these on her Apple 7 while I hook them into my Droid turbo 2. Also being able to turn off anc. Sweet. This is my(first) next pair of headphones.
I had 2 major issues with these. First, My ears slightly rested on the hard drivers inside the earcup. After 30-40 min I start to feel a little pain. Sennheiser should have made the cushions a little more thicker (or pushed the drivers back a little deeper into the cup. That way the ear doesn’t touch the drivers at all. 2nd issue was the low volume and lack of presence. This was easily fixed with club mode (which were designed for music). If the first issue wasn’t present then I would rank them as number 1 over the Bose qc35 as they sound slightly better than Bose qc35 in club mode. Lastly, when reviewing headphones you should always compare to the direct competitors. Otherwise the review is a bogus science.
2:00 is it that good? I got them a week ago and it's...meh... Without music it feels like wearing just another headphones (like only blocking more sound with the cushions). I use them at home and there isn't a big difference, kinda disappointed, and I don't know if it's like they're not working properly since in every review it's said that anc is very good... But yeah, with music I can play it with some less volume to hear it properly, but without it I have to check if anc is on :/
The mic quality is probably the best around giving that these are 2 years old. 2019 and its still hard for competitors to top all the quality put into these headphones collectively.
I tried connecting the PXC 550 using the NFC on the back of my phone multiple times, and it keeps saying, "Can't connect." Can someone please assist me with this issue? I appreciate it
Honestly, what sold these over the Bose QC 35 II’s for me was 1) the look of them - I don’t find the Bose an attractive pair of headphones. Rather, they look like cheap hunks of plastic 2) TOUCH CONTROLS (how cool!!) 3) I’ve heard the audio quality is better than the competitors I’ve heard the Bose are more comfortable and have better ANC, however. I can’t imagine that a pair of headphones as light as these could be uncomfortable though, but we’ll see as my pair are arriving in a few days.
Can you make a video on the anker soundbuds slim I'm very curious as anker has become one of my favourite brands due to the many products I've bought from them
Hello Jaime, thanks for the review. I recently bought them and I really like them. I just have one question that you might know, should the noise cancelling feature work with phone calls too? Thanks!
Hello Jaime, great review. Question: Do you know if there are replacement earpads that are more sweat or heat & humidity friendly? I live in Panama, and whilst I plan to use them mostly in places with AC, I might use them while commuting, and walking in and out of the Metro can be quite a sweaty experience. I know some manufacturers sell some kind of suede fabric pads that I think can work better on those occasions.
Those look really nice, I'd prefer this Sennheiser or the Sony ones instead of he Bose qc35. But I can't have such thing for too long, it heats up my ears, I begin to sweat... ow hell, I traveled 15h from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam, with my IEM's (Sennheiser ie80) no way I could have done it with a on or over ear. Anyways, what's up with Sennheiser and 2,5mm cables? since my mm400 I've been suffering that.
I'm surprised your not really into wireless headphone Jaime, if you already loved the pxc 550. Wait till you tried the Sony MDR 1000X. Some reviewers claimed it has dethroned the previous king of wireless headphones which is the Bose QC35. And yeah, no other headphones yet have the solution to wind filter sad to say.
Precisely at the 15 second mark are the headphones i own. Love them both but each one caters to a different cause for use. Love them both. Both are made of quality materials and sound great.
If you're spending $400 for these, you might as well get HD650's(HDXX) or M1060 with vegan pads. Really no point spending this much on bluetooth headphones when bluetooth will limit what you can hear.
SugarFreeTargets You don't understand the point of wireless noise cancelation headphones. These can be used everywhere and are very convenient. With the HD650 you need an amp and you can't use them in noisy environments. You are also tethered by a cable. Being able to pick these up and walk out is what makes them targeted at a completely different audience. Just like you can't really have a good speaker setup with a subwoofer in an apartment, you can't use the hd650 all the time. I do prefer IEMs because they do a better job at isolation like Etymotic, but some people want over ear.
Fawaz AlNSF Depends. If you like the option of using it either wired or via BT. Being able to completely turn off ANC is another nice feature and listening to the outside world via a double tap. These imho are a step up from Bose.
Massdrop is currently selling the x NuForce EDC if you're looking for earbuds. Over the ear, I suggest looking at Philips SHP9500. Sometimes it goes on sale for $60 or so
2:55 Very elegant?? I like Sennheiser and had some quality hp-s from them but compared to the Bose QC35 or Sony MDR1000X this looks like cheap plastic Ebay-ware...
I've been watching some pxc550s reviews over the last few months and having just bought them recently I've noticed lots of people have the head band really really expanded... I have mine one click out on each side at max. And I thought my head was average to even large... How big are all you reviewers heads?! Is it possible they've started producing the headphones in a different size since they were released?
STD TV sadly it only able to pair one device at a time. That's the only gripe about the MDR 1000X. But they have a better implementation of touch sensor on the ear cup and better noise cancellation compared to PXC550. Sound wise arguably better than Bose QC35.
I don't know, specification says 40 hours I believe, but i'm listening them over USB mostly (no sound quality loss and gestures work). I'm quite sure they can last 30 hours.
you can definitely tell we re at mid summer, no phone has come out recently so they review some random headset from the cupboard :D looking forward to the usual end of the summer phone buzzzzzz
NEVER buy Sennheiser PXC 550 !!! There is issue with cable in the bar which get corrupted after a while and Sennheiser doesn't provide this cable as replacement as other producers. This is completely waste of money !!!
Krishnakumar No. Only pair to one device? These I can use wired for myself the wife can use it via BT and pair it to her computer. That's a short list. The Sony was a deal breaker when I couldn't "share" them. It ALWAYS goes back to Sony's damn mentality of controlling what you listen to. Be it their code on damn CDs not being able to play on other devices to all their devices. I'm done with Sony.
These are now on sale for $249 on Amazon.. worth the money!
234 now. Great deal
$180 now. Even better!
150 now.
140 USD now on black friday

Watching with the pxc 550 headphones!
🙌🙌
Are they loud enough ?
Do they have latency while watching video or playing games?
The chosen one has arrived 😍
"I'm HIAMGHGHHNGRVERA with Pocket now , and these are the Sennheiser PXC 550 "
"Follow me at haighhgmeeeundrskrrrrrinstgrammhiaghmneerveraa"
Superior Phi right!! 😂
He is pronouncing it like it’s supposed to be pronounced
Superior Phi yeah that's about right
For me, it's price and comfort. I'd love to be an audiophile but I'm too poor.
There are great budget headphones
Ebay
Was anyone else expecting Juan Carlos Bagnell to be doing this review?
LazorVideos no it's hymen rivera doing the review
At one point in time I thought those two were the same people. I prefer Juan more
I have these i got them from best buy. I love them and what he said about them is totally true. And also sometimes the swipe controls gets laggy but they are really awesome headphone's.
Just picked up a pair. Best headphones I've owned. Very comfortable, the sound is great in my opinion.
Just got mine today !!! this thing is amazing !! Thanks for the review !!!
How are they holding up? I just purchased the first gen of this yesterday because I love the design and awesome touch controls!
Great review. Very important to know the ears size feature. I think I’ll buy these headphones.
Concise review. I like options of having to either use Bluetooth or wired. Wife can use these on her Apple 7 while I hook them into my Droid turbo 2. Also being able to turn off anc. Sweet. This is my(first) next pair of headphones.
can you compare it with QC35 please?

sir, how is the microphone call quality? can you provide a sample of your voice recorded using the 550 mic?
The mic quality is probably the best around giving that these are 2 years old. 2019 and its still hard for competitors to top all the quality put into these headphones collectively.
I tried connecting the PXC 550 using the NFC on the back of my phone multiple times, and it keeps saying, "Can't connect." Can someone please assist me with this issue? I appreciate it

does the sound quality get better with the jack wire plugged in?
Do I need an adapter for PCX 550? It says it has to be 4.2 bluetooth but I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. Please help :(
Reflex Level 0 Bluetooth versions are backwards compatible, but if you have an ancient device you should try before you buy.
do you hear a hiss when the headphone is on?
How do they stack up against Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 I wonder? Would love seeing a comparison video!
Russian Severe Videos those are for poor people
Those look really nice, I'd prefer this Sennheiser or the Sony ones instead of he Bose qc35.

Sony mdr1000x can you review them
That and review the Denon GC20s.
Are These any good for audio mixing ?
I just got these. I took my RS195's back and swapped for these
And what about building quality of this?
They don't look or feel cheap, but I haven't dropped them yet.
I have one it's awesome
These vs QC35's?
Can you make a android disk set up 😺
Precisely at the 15 second mark are the headphones i own. Love them both but each one caters to a different cause for use. Love them both. Both are made of quality materials and sound great.
Ok but nobody cares
expensive stuff. anyways bose qc35 is good alternative, for my head those are more comfortable. music quality just a little better in sennheisers.

Cool. I just like being able to turn OFF ANC. It's not needed all the time. Also the option of using these wired or BT is awesome.
can i get a buy link please

650's are 300ohm. Not usable with cell phones. So be careful what you recommend. The 598's and lower models at 30 ohm, yes.
please compare with Sony mdr1000x
dukeprags Sony for noise isolation, these for comfort and sound quality. also that hand on your ear to turn off noise cancelation is pretty cool
Justin Quihuis compare to the Denon GC20?
Hymen rivera
don't mind me just a v-moda crossfade 2 wireless passing through
Please review Momentum Wireless
Too bad the noise canceling isn't great. They sound better than the Bose qc35 and 1000x, but they fall short in noise cancelation
I'd like to get them but I'm too concerned about having to drop 400 dollars on some headphones really.
Alan Framboisier
$299 on Amazon and even a bit cheaper elsewhere.
Good sound, but too warm, too uncomfortable and noise-cancellation not up to Bose/Sony standard.
I am Hymen Revera i like how you spell it
who TF can afford this??? I have paid at most $200 for headphones, they sound amazing, and I don't see any headphones being worth 2 of those.
Matija Atelšek These are plastic, you are paying for wireless and features
Jaimie /this is the Best or Bose 35??
Fawaz AlNSF
Depends. If you like the option of using it either wired or via BT. Being able to completely turn off ANC is another nice feature and listening to the outside world via a double tap. These imho are a step up from Bose.
checked them on amazon. saw the price. closed the video. lol
anyone know of good headphones for 50 bucks
There's audiotechnica ath m20x, akg k52... These are full size headphones..
Massdrop is currently selling the x NuForce EDC if you're looking for earbuds.
Over the ear, I suggest looking at Philips SHP9500. Sometimes it goes on sale for $60 or so
completely depends on your uses and preference. need more details

Thank you!
Why are you guys reviewing these now? They have been out for months already......little late guys.
2:55 Very elegant?? I like Sennheiser and had some quality hp-s from them but
compared to the Bose QC35 or Sony MDR1000X this looks like cheap plastic Ebay-ware...
I'd buy these in a heartbeat if they weren't so friggin expensive...
Elijah Roush You can find them refurbished for just under 200 bucks.
I’ve seen them now as low as $250.
I've been watching some pxc550s reviews over the last few months and having just bought them recently I've noticed lots of people have the head band really really expanded... I have mine one click out on each side at max. And I thought my head was average to even large... How big are all you reviewers heads?! Is it possible they've started producing the headphones in a different size since they were released?
the only thing I hate about over the ear headphones is that my head is too big for most of them
try with lg v20
well if u want really cheap headphones that sounds good and looks simple buy Granvela niax3
WHAT IS BETTER:
1) Sony MDR 1000X
2) BOSE QC35
3) or this???
STD TV Sound quality: these definitely
comfort: qc35 and these
noise cancelation: qc35, and 1000x. sadly these can't keep up.
Go for MDR 1000 it's worth your hard earned money.
Jeff Rebuzora Does it able to pair 2 devices?
STD TV sadly it only able to pair one device at a time. That's the only gripe about the MDR 1000X. But they have a better implementation of touch sensor on the ear cup and better noise cancellation compared to PXC550. Sound wise arguably better than Bose QC35.
Jeff Rebuzora Extra question. What about building quality?
329usd....ouch...will follow on Amazon for price drop
Battery life is what kills it for me. The size and battery capacity makes little sense in my opinion. Especially for their price
30 hours kills it for you?
the noise cancelling is very poor. I can still hear my laptop fan. reurning mine
Same here , I don't understand all these positive reviews for the sound cancelling of this headphone . Are we doing something wrong ???
I was gonna buy it but u know the weird ass cord will and eventually get a short in it and then you're fukd
I'll take iems over anything anyday
did he talk about the hour of usage on battery?
I don't know, specification says 40 hours I believe, but i'm listening them over USB mostly (no sound quality loss and gestures work). I'm quite sure they can last 30 hours.
pavelp80 how do you use it with USB
Lol beats
Too expensive...
Yeah, if you're poor
237 dollars refurbished
Just save up
I like bass headphones because I like trap music
Shaha Paxton Try the Beyerdynamic DT770 with a fiio e10k or q1. you will be amazed by the low end quality.
Rodriguez Steven Allen Cynthia Davis Matthew
no you are not haime rivera, you are jaime, jaime as in Jamaica jajajaja
likes for qc35
you can definitely tell we re at mid summer, no phone has come out recently so they review some random headset from the cupboard :D looking forward to the usual end of the summer phone buzzzzzz
Mark O. E. I know you didnt call these a random headset..
I bought sony mdr 1000x over this.
is that the only color, what's up with the price dang, I can never win pah, thanks papá☺😨that's me seeing the price, conchale...
epic epic epic
hii
NEVER buy Sennheiser PXC 550 !!!
There is issue with cable in the bar which get corrupted after a while and Sennheiser doesn't provide this cable as replacement as other producers. This is completely waste of money !!!
theese are 250 dollar now .
James Hetfield where?
He's not telling you, secret 😉
Rob Wheeler it was on a Swedish store site called webhallen.com where do u livemaybe they ship abroad
James Hetfield cool I will check it out, I'm from the UK, so should deliver 👌
Rob Wheeler 👌
I like my bose qc35 headphones 🎧 there awesome
*U COULD BUY A PHONE WITHE THST MONEY*
SECOND
On ear headphones are the worst
I ordered one and they are garbage
First
I don't think is better then bose
Bose wins at comfort, sound quality is an other story.
mdrx 1000 is better
Aditya Salunke true that
Bose QC 35
You invested in wrong headphone. Sony mdr 1000x is much better... Much much better
Krishnakumar
No. Only pair to one device?
