Sennheiser MM 550-X

 

It's not the best at noise cancellation, but the high-end Sennheiser MM 550-X scores as a comfortable, great-sounding pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Stellar sound quality in wireless mode. Brilliantly designed controls. Very comfortable. Rugged, folding design

Very expensive. Noise cancellation performance, while solid, isn't class-leading. Audio quality takes a big hit when noise cancellation is activated

The TalkThrough function takes the audio recorded from the tiny mics and actually pumps it in the earcups. This way, you can hear what's going on around you without removing the headset, while still filtering out more distant background noise. You...

The Sennheiser MM 550 has great features, but we expect much better sound quality for this kind of money.

iPod playback ; SRS WOW HD ; Great Sound

Very expensive

Sennheiser's Bluetooth Cans Take Travel in Stride

 

Noise-canceling headphones that handle the rigors of the road while offering solid sound quality.

Slick design. Compact and foldable. Loaded with travel features for different listening environments

Nonstandard cord could be a hassle to replace. Closed design and tight grip may cause ear fatigue during long listening sessions. Steep price tag

What I've been looking for.

 

Bought these for $380. I have not used these to test calls. Does more than I originally thought with my iPod. Pressing the bluetooth button while it's active will activate the voice recognition program (Siri for later devices) and will use the built in...

(This is a review for the Sennheiser MM 550 headpones, not the MM 550-x.) ; Comfort: Wore these MM 550's for 5 hours with no breaks (With glasses on as well) and approx. 10 hours total in one day. No noticeable discomfort once they're adjusted...

Make sure to charge these fully before using the first time, mine were at 1% juice and died after about 10 minutes ; Noise cancellation may suddenly stop working for 1~3 seconds rarely when at mid-low battery. Although not a big deal since it only...

Great.

 

Pricey, but when you consider the extras you're getting, and the price you'd pay for a set of good cans with an amp to do them justice, I'd say these are appropriately priced.

Expectations met. You could get better audio quality for the same price with a wired set, but for Bluetooth these are remarkable. Probably the best wireless headphones on the market. These make wired beats studio headphones sound like cheap buds in...

Not so hot with SRS
