SENNHEISER UPGRADES PXC 550 ‘PHONES

-

Sennheiser has upgraded the battery life and microphone­s on its PXC 550 wireless noise-cancelling headphones. The PXC 550 can now operate for 30 hours continuous­ly on a single charge with both Bluetooth and the active hybrid ‘NoiseGard’ adaptive noise cancellati­on engaged, and the addition of an extra microphone means that thanks to a beam-forming array, anyone on the other end of the phone line will hear your voice clearly. ‘ The PXC 550 now makes being connected on the move even easier, with unrivalled speech clarity for business and personal calls, no matter how noisy the environmen­t,’ said Dr Christian Ern, of Sennheiser. ‘ And to ensure travellers have an ideal private space for relaxing or staying focused on work, Sennheiser’s NoiseGard hybrid adaptive noise cancellati­on seamlessly monitors and adapts to ambient noise levels— whether on a plane, train or a noisy street—to provide the exact level of noise suppressio­n needed.’

To ensure a personalis­ed listening experience Sennheiser’s companion app—‘CapTune’, a free download for Android and iOS—enables you to tailor the sound of the PXC 550 with four presets and a customisab­le ‘Director’ mode that permits precise adjustment­s with the equalizer and has a unique ‘SoundCheck’ mode that allows users to A/B-test different tuning set-ups. CapTune also allows users to personalis­e the adaptive noise cancellati­on, the Bluetooth audio prompts, and the operation of Sennheiser’s ‘Smart Pause’ mode that can automatica­lly pause music and calls when the headphones are taken off. ‘ Sennheiser’s PXC 550 Wireless offers a smart travel experience that combines supreme ease of use with features that discretely anticipate the needs of the user,’ said Ern. ‘ The intuitive, earcup-mounted touch control panel and voice prompt system allows for a convenient selection of settings, while the high-quality Bluetooth audio transmissi­on delivers pristine sound, which can be tailored precisely according to preference. And, when the journey is done, the fold-flat, collapsibl­e design allows the PXC 550 Wireless to discretely fold away into the provided travel case.’ Available now, the Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless headphones sell for $$629.95 (RRP).
