Using new technology and their High-end Hi-fi design skills, Sennheiser leapfrog the competition to deliver the World’s best noise-cancelling headphones.
Built to deliver the highest quality sound possible, the PXC 450s allow travellers to privately enjoy their own music, wrapped in a virtual ‘Cloak Of Silence’ however noisy a train or plane might be. And no sound leaks out, so fellow passengers stay happy.
In addition Sennheiser has analysed the problems afflicting other noise-reduction headphones and fixed them.
1. PXC 450s work as headphones even if the batteries die
2. One tiny and globally available AAA battery gives 20hrs use
No charger to carry or expensive spare batteries to buy
3. UNIQUE Active ‘TalkThrough’ button lets you hear conversations and announcements, without having to rip the phones off your head
4. The sound is clear and balanced with no heavy bass or muffled vocals

Tech stuff
Two key features from Sennheiser Hi-fi ensure good sound
- Adaptive baffle damping guarantees consistently good bass.
- The patented Duofol diaphragms prevent unwanted resonances, guaranteeing crisp, crystal-clear sound.
Sennheiser pioneered consumer noise-reduction headphones
over 20 years ago and have unparalleled expertise in this technology
- NoiseGard noise-cancellation technology actively neutralises unwanted noise: a tiny microphone mounted on the outside of the headphone picks up ambient noise, a processor calculates and superimposes the relevant phase inverted sound.
The result: the two acoustic signals cancel each other out and the unwanted noise no longer reaches the user’s ear. The new NoiseGard 2.0 uses optimised circuitry design and even more efficient processors. It also uses better quality microphones, which enable more sophisticated pick-up of unwanted noise. Specially developed filter algorithms enable improved active noise compensation of up to 90% (23 dB).
