Sennheiser PXC 550-II: Impressive battery and good ANC

One can safely say that not a day goes by when a brand does not launch new headphones of some kind or the other. The latest is Sennheiser with its PXC- 550-II, which is a bit surprising since recently, the German audio company launched similar headphones as part of its Momentum series. But since ‘tis the season of headphones, so why not!

The PXC-550-II is your regular over-the-ear headphones but are strikingly lightweight, which make them comfortable for long use.

At 227 grams, the headphones pack in a mixture of plastic and synthetic. Sennheiser has added all the touch controls on the right earcup. With a few swipes and touches, one can play and pause music, skip tracks and answer calls, among other things. There is a button that pairs the headphones with other devices and can also be used to activate smart assistants.
