Thanks to Apple’s iPhone 7, the demand for wireless headsets has rapidly accelerated. With improved technologies the instability issues with Bluetooth has long since vanished and sound quality is now comparable to traditional wired units. The key selling point now is longevity; the new wireless Sennheiser PXC 550 headphone has nearly 30 hours of battery life, meaning a single charge is powerful enough for round trip flights to Europe.

The PXC 550 has four presets for adjusting sound and is fully compatible with the Sennheiser CapTune app. The mobile app is a high-quality music player as well as a sound tuning app that allows users to easily personalise their listening experience. The headphone’s lightweight design, matched with patented NoiseGard technology that can adaptively cancel noise, is a big advantage during long flights. On similar products in the market, you will usually find just one speaker per ear; however the PXC 550 features three speakers to ensure speech clarity. Last but not least, the function keys are replaced by a touch control panel, making the selection of settings very convenient.
