Sennheiser PXC 450 headphones are offer high end performance from a noise cancelling design optimised for travel with Sennheiser's NoiseGard 2.0 technology and TalkThrough functions. These features enable the PXC 450 to offer unprecedented sound experience for people on the move, thanks to its adaptive baffle damping in combination with the patented Duofol diaphragms, which prevent unwanted partial oscillation and thus guarantee a highly natural, lifelike sound quality.

NoiseGard is an active noise compensation system which Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots, who have to rely on good sound quality and efficient protection against ambient noise even in high-noise environments. NoiseGard™ actively compensates the noise, based on the physics principle of sound and counter-sound. Specially developed filter algorithms enable improved active noise compensation of up to 90% (23 dB). You can also use these headphones passively, with the noise cancellation turned off, and without batteries.

The TalkThrough function allows you to speak to others around you without taking the headphones off, thanks to professional quality microphones mounted on the outside of the headphones that pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vicinity. Unwanted background noise, such as the sound of the engines on a plane, is filtered out electronically to a great extent, so that only the neighbours voice is passed on through the headphones into the user’s ear in top audio quality.

The PXC 450 is foldable and is supplied with transport case, batteries and everything else you'll need to enjoy wonderful sound on the move.
