The PXC 300 NoiseGard Advance is an ideal traveling companion, effectively reducing background noise on planes, trains and buses and therefore eliminating one of the main causes of stress while traveling. Users can sit back and relax with their favorite music or connect the headphones to the in-flight entertainment system a or even just wear them to enjoy some peace and quiet from the noise around them. And the PX 300 can be packed away in no time. Simply fold them together and store them in a small, shockproof case a ready for the next trip. The stylish design of the PXC 300 a brushed aluminum trim rings and high-attenuation ear pads made of a new kind of leatherette a is reflected in their natural, detailed sound. A special bass tube provides the necessary power at low frequencies. With the PXC300 NoiseGard Advance, Sennheiser has even succeeded in further enhancing the NoiseGard active noise compensation system. It now has a much lower sensitivity towards interference from such sources as cell phones. Constant low-frequency noise is reduced by up to 15 dB a even 10 dB would be perceived as halving the volume. Power is supplied to the NoiseGard electronics by two AAA batteries, providing the traveler with up to 80 hours of peace and quiet. Without batteries, the PXC 300 works just like normal headphones with passive noise attenuation. In addition to a handy carrying case, the PXC 300 comes with an adapter for audio systems and in-flight entertainment systems.:

 Must-have for every traveler or office dweller! April 8, 2008
This is my first purchase of noise canceling headphones, but the need was urgent as I sit next to a very loud colleague and in-ear headphones weren't cutting it. I find that with the item turned on, the music is a bit louder (though I like having the option of playing music with it) and the a/c or heat sound disappear (not that it ever bothered me) and all you can hear is your music. I still hear the loud cackling laughter occasionally, but overall, I'm able to hear my music without distraction. Even on the airplanes I don't hear the crying babies or people talking since the over-ear cups around to keep all the music in and all the noise out.
I was afraid of the pinching as I was always accustomed to wearing in-ear buds prior to this, but I don't find it painful at all, even after an 8-hour day.
The only negative, which I believe must happen with most noise-canceling devices, is that I occasionally feel pressure building in my head. I'm not sure why this is, but I'd read it before I purchased them, and even though I'm prone to severe migraines, I decided to risk it. I'm glad I did. The migraines have never been triggered, just occasionally and pressure in my head, but again, that's remedied by turning off the noise-canceling feature, and I still feel I hear the music better than with the ear buds.
Buy this, you'll love them. March 10, 2008

Everything about this product is fantastic. Great fit, awesome sound, fine German workmanship, even a neat carrying case. Fair priced.
I didn't really appreciate the noise canceling feature until I was on a aircraft. Incredible how well the noise canceling works.
Only problem is my girlfriend likes them so much I can't get them back.
Nice, but I wanted a little more March 2, 2008
The headphone are great, but I would like to have more bass. That's the big problem with small headphones.
But for the price, they are not too bad.
 Stick with Bose, these are more compact but not impressive February 29, 2008

I've been using the Bose Quiet II headphones for about three years. They are pretty good but after a while on a plane you feel like your brains are being sucked out of your head from the suction and if you fall asleep on the plane and roll your head you are reminded that they are on. Additionally they take up a lot of space to carry in its case. Soooo, I bought a pair of the Sennheiser PXC 300 headphones after reading the reviews. One thing is true, they do take up less space in their case. They don't, however, do as good a job cancelling out the noise. I found myself holding the ear pieces close to my ears to make it easier to hear over the engine noise. It was nice not having the suction feeling of an over the ears headphone but I got them for noise cancelling and they really didn't work very well.

I work in a room with computer servers (loud fans). This product helps some, but not as much as I would have expected. Probably too much high frequency noise from the fans (noise cancellation works best on lower frequencies).
This is a light and comfortable headset, but for my particular situation I would recommend a larger headset that does a better job of blocking out external noise by making a seal around the ear. The smaller headsets by design allow more external noise to be heard, which can be an advantage in certain situations.
If listening to music, the quality is much better when the noise cancellation switch is on.
