The PXC 310 BT combines all the advantages of travel headphones with the new apt-X Bluetooth codec--a sophisticated audio compression technology for true hi-fi quality when paired with a Sennheiser Bluetooth adapter (sold separately)--for wireless listening while on the move. It's compatible with countless Bluetooth enabled digital audio devices.
These closed mini headphones are embedded with NoiseGard 2.0 technology, which provides up to 90 percent active noise cancellation. They are also equipped with TalkThrough function, which is able to distinguish between background noise and speech, enabling you to continue your conversations with fellow travelers without removing the headphones.
When not in use, the PXC 310 BT can simply be folded away and stowed in the included carrying case. Convenient extras also help to make your journey more comfortable. To ensure that the lithium ion batteries for wireless use can be recharged anywhere in the world, the set includes a battery charger with adapters for a wide range of different countries.
Sennheiser's NoiseGard Technology
Sennheiser's NoiseGard 2.0 technology guarantees undisturbed music enjoyment and ensures that you have a relaxed journey. Irritating background noise is minimized by anti-noise, a technology that was initially developed for pilots and which has already been used successfully in the cockpits of major airlines for several decades.
And if you want to talk to the person sitting next to you, that's no problem either. The convenient TalkThrough function enables you to conduct a conversation without removing the headphones. At the push of a button, miniature microphones mounted on the outside of the headphones pick up the surrounding sounds while an electronic circuit filters out the voice of the person speaking to you and plays it clearly through the headphones.

This review is from: Sennheiser PXC 310 Compact Noise-Canceling Travel Headphones (Black) (Electronics)
I ordered these phones for air travel, to decide between them and the Sennheiser PXC-350s, also noise canceling phones. The 310s sound very good, but the richness of the sound can't compare to the larger 350s, which, unlike the on-the-ear 310s, totally cover your ears. The smaller size of the folding 310s may be a plus for travelers, but the phones also appear to be far less substantial than the 350s. I went for the less expensive, more durable and better sounding 350s, and will put up with stares from fellow passengers who are thinking that I must be a member of the Science Club from the size of my phones. The 450s sounded pretty much identical to the 350s- to me, not worth the extra $100.
