Sennheiser’s active noise-cancelling PXC 350s fit snugly around the ear. This helps reduce background noise, even without the noise-cancelling circuit engaged. Turn it on, however, and the din of air conditioning and engine noise retreats into the distance, replaced only by a slight hiss. Sound quality is crisp, with a deep, tuneful lower end and, despite questionable looks, the PXC 350s are more comfortable than physical noise-isolating earphones. The unwieldy battery pack of cheaper models has also gone – pop an AAA battery in each earpiece and the volume control dangles from your neck. Thankfully, they also work well passively. They’re good value too.

The Sennheiser PXC 450 provides much better noise cancelling and the sound quality is a heap better. Long flights become more enjoyable and less wearysome. Much better value if you can afford the extra dollars.
