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).
