What customers say about "Features"
Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with Touch Sensitive Control
- Bluetooth connects easily and quickly. The range isn't insane but, not bad.
- The connection to my phone, Chromebook, and laptop PC was quick and easy. The sound was rather good, but definitely not great.
- They connect to two devices, so I can listen to music on my PC at work and take a call on my cell phone without having to do anything, it just works.
- It works at least twice as well, and covers a much greater frequency range than reduced by the Cowins.
- PXC 550 Drops the Bluetooth connection even with my cell phone right next to it.
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
- The app was very cool with tons of customization possible. NFC pairing is very quick and painless pairing.
- Nice quality sound, excellent connection, and even the microphones had a pretty good quality for phone calls.
- The bass is pronounced but not overbearing and the mids and highs are crisp and clear.
- The headphones sound great. Noise cancelling is superb. They are comfy. I use them as a phone headset a lot.
- The function touch pad is sensitive and easy to unintentionally do something like skip the track when adjusting the headset on your ears. It's annoying when it happens.

What customers say about "Power"
Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with Touch Sensitive Control
- Battery life is amazing I've charged them twice in the 3 months Ive had them.
- Battery life is good. Not the best but, not even close to the worst.
- The battery easily lasts for two weeks of commuting. I have also flown with them several times and used these for the in flight entertainment, wearing them for 4-5 hours straight.
- Excellent battery life. Built in mic can be activated to hear outside noise.
- Battery life isn't the full 20 hours with noise cancelling.
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
- These headphones have excellent battery life, amazing noise-canceling and I'd highly recommend them, if my pair hadn't broken.
- The battery life on these is also amazing! And USB-C definitely takes that to the next level with the quick charge feature.
- These are my first set of noise cancelling headphones and I'm very impressed. The battery life is phenomenal. The noise cancelling is incredible.
- Battery life is as advertised. Long lasting and easy to recharge. Usb C is a great choice when trying to plug in in the dark.
- Battery life isn't anywhere near the 30 hours advertised. Changing the volume is hard, a lot of the time you skip tracks instead of adjusting volume.
