Product ReviewsSennheiser MM 550-X TRAVEL Black Headband Headsets

Good value if priced right

I’ve owned two pairs of these headphones; bought the first pair in 2009. I’m also a bit of a headphone junkie, so I have a lot of other models to compare these to.

For the right user and the right uses, these are great. They’re NOT worth the original price (ranging from $300–$500), especially now that the technology is dated, but the sound is good, and they score very high for convenience. Comfortable, good over-ear size without being huge, easy to fold and pack, plus the battery is removable, so if you buy a replacement battery and keep it charged you never need to use a cord to listen. Those convenience factors are the best part for me, and I’ve never found another pair with a removable battery despite extensive searching.

My original pair lasted a year or two before some of the buttons started to fail, then one ear cut out, and eventually all the padding wore out and shredded. But they were still my favorite daily pair for listening to podcasts in one ear, so I just kept using them. Went through 3 sets of ear pads. After 9 years they finally died completely, so I decided I’d get another pair if I could find them for under $150, which I did. Excited to have a fully functional set again — here’s hoping they last longer!

You can find better sounding wireless headsets these days with better Bluetooth and noise cancelling, and you can find cheaper headsets too. But I have yet to find any that are more versatile and useful all around, especially at the right price.Read full review...

no more listening to crying babies on the airplane

This is an excellent traveling companion.. excellent sound quality and long lasting battery.
if you are looking for a VERY loud bass sound then these aren't for you
but this is loud enough
the bluetooth is easy to connect, SRS makes a big difference
I would recommend getting a hard case to protect it from breaking in your bagRead full review...
