NoiseGard 2.0 and TalkThrough Technology
The switchable NoiseGard 2.0 technology reduces ambient noise up to 90%, with active/bypass mode for use as a noise cancelling or closed-back audiophile headphone. The innovative new TalkThrough function allows the user to communicate with neighbors without taking off the headphones. Unwanted background noise, such as the roar of the airplane engines, is filtered out so that only the neighbor’s voice is passed on through the headphones at top quality.
Just one AAA battery is all it takes for up to 16 hours of serene enjoyment with NoiseGard 2.0 and TalkThrough technology. The PXC 450 also functions as a passive headset when used without batteries, so audio always works. A simple-to-use volume control is integrated into the headphone.
User-Replaceable Parts
The Sennheiser HD 280 PRO features rugged construction with user-replaceable parts, including the cable and the earpads. The single-sided, coiled cable has a 3.5mm mini jack and comes with a locking 1/4" adapter for home or studio stereo equipment, as well as an In-Flight Entertainment adapter for airplanes.

General DescriptionThe PXC 450 is a circumaural high-end travel headphone set with NoiseGard 2.0 technology and TalkThrough function for the best possible attenuation of ambient noise.
The PXC 450 enables an unprecedented sound experience for people on the move, thanks to its adaptive baffle damping in combination with the patented Duofol diaphragms, which prevent unwanted partial oscillation and thus guarantee a highly natural, lifelike sound quality.
NoiseGard is an active noise compensation system which Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots, who have to rely on good sound quality and efficient protection against ambient noise even in high-noise environments. NoiseGard actively compensates the noise, based on the physics principle of sound and counter-sound.
NoiseGard 2.0 has perfected the NoiseGard principle thanks to the use of optimised circuitry design and even more efficient processors. It also uses better quality microphones, which enable more sophisticated pick-up of unwanted noise. Specially developed filter algorithms enable improved active noise compensation of up to 90% (23 dB). It is of course also possible to use these headphones passively, i.e. without NoiseGard and without batteries.
Users of a PXC 450 who wish to communicate with their neighbours can do so without taking off the headphones: when the TalkThrough function is activated, professional quality microphones mounted on the outside of the headphones pick up all acoustic signals in the immediate vicinity. Unwanted background noise, such as the sound of the engines on a plane, is filtered out electronically to a great extent, so that only the neighbour voice is passed on through the headphones into the user ear in top audio quality.
The PXC 450 is foldable and is supplied complete with practical transport case, 2 AAA batteries and audio adaptors (double mono and 6.3mm). Volume control integrated in the headphones and a single-sided detachable and replaceable cable ensure maximum convenience for the user.FeaturesAudiophile sound experience on the move: outstanding sound quality thanks to adaptive baffle damping and patented Duofol diaphragm technologyNoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation provides best possible protection against ambient noise (up to 90.0%)Comfortable fit and high level of passive ambient noise attenuation thanks to circumaural ear pads and padded headband made of top quality materialsTalkThrough function: for easy communication with the people around you while wearing the headphonesVolume can be adjusted directly on the headphonesIdeal for people on the move: comfortable, sturdy and foldable headphone designAudio transmission always works even in passive mode and without the batteriesIdeal for use with in-flight entertainment systems, MP3 players and all other portable and stationary audio equipmentTop quality materials and replaceable ear pads and cable for long service lifeComes with full accessories: transport case, 2 audio adaptors (in-flight entertainment and 6.3 mm), batteries2-year warrantyDelivery IncludesPXC 450 high-end travel headphoneTransport Case2 Audio Adapter (In-flight-Entertainment and 6,3 mm)2 AAA batterys
