Der Sennheiser PXC 550-II Wireless erweist sich im Test als ein guter Noise-Cancelling-Kopfhörer im unauffälligen Look. Im Test sticht die tolle Soundqualität heraus sowie der gute Sitz. Das Noise Cancelling ist okay, dürfte aber gerne präziser einstellbar sein. Die Akkulaufzeit bei deaktiviertem ANC liegt eher unter dem Durchschnitt.
