Sennheiser takes on Bose with new noise-canceling headphones
January 7, 2005; 12:00 p.m.
![]() The product: Last year, Sennheiser's $150 PXC250 active noise-canceling headphones earned high marks from CNET, as we considered them a nice alternative to Bose's more expensive QuietComfort 2 model. Now Sennheiser has announced the step-up PXC300 noise-canceling headphones, which will retail for $219.99. The new model features improved noise-canceling circuitry--Sennheiser has dubbed it Noise-Gard Advanced--but it retains the foldable design of the PXC250 and an in-line battery pack.
The prospects: The price is a little steep, but hopefully you'll be able to find them on the street for less than $200, making them a great alternative to the Bose QuietComfort 2. By David Carnoy, executive editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
