German tech company, Sennheiser, has been quiet busy over the last few weeks. At the recent Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) trade show, the company released a brand new line of headphones. Sennheiser has included 11 models to accommodate the variety of needs expressed by their customers. While focusing in on the innovating the existing technologies that they have used in the past, the company also decided to reinvent some classic Sennheiser designs for the new line. This release comes on the heals of their previous line of gaming headphones that was released last month.

So how dose this line stack up?

The PCX 480 

Features a compact foldable design,  NoiseGardTM active cancellation, 50-hour battery life, and an inline microphone.

The company has stated that they were thinking about those who travel when designing this model.  By utilizing NoiseGardTM in it’s design, the company was able to achieve active noise canceling that works even when the headphones are not playing music. Perfect for busy planes, trains, and buses.

Similar to its wired counterpart, the PCX480, the PCX550 was designed with traveling in mind. These headphones also utilize the NoiseGardTM technology and feature a fordable design.

The main difference between the two designs is the lack of chord. What is really exciting about this model, is it’s astonishing 30 hours of continuous battery life. While we don’t recommend using headphones longer than 2 hours at a time for safety reasons, this model will soon be the pinnacle of traveling headphones.
