Overview
A 5-star travel companion
The 5s in the name say it all. The MM 550-X TRAVEL is Sennheiser’s top-of-the-range wireless headset.
No matter how noisy your environment, NoiseGard™ 2.0 active noise canceling technology cuts out the background noise that makes it difficult to carry out normal conversations without raising your voice. Connect it wirelessly to your mobile, laptop, iPad or any other Bluetooth®-enabled device and take charge of phone and Skype calls, music or audio books.
Incredible surround
The MM 550-X TRAVEL features SRS surround for immersive listening. Switch it on to experience the full benefits of a surround soundscape and get the most out of your music collection. As an added benefit, the headset enhances the latest apt-X®-enabled mobile phones and computers with supreme CD-quality sound reproduction – getting a wider soundscape out of the Bluetooth® connection than ever before.
No fuss control
A must for travelers, the MM 550-X TRAVEL comes with Sennheiser’s TalkThrough™ function, which lets you speak to a friend or flight attendant without removing the headset. Just press a button and an external invisible microphone lets you hear everything that is going on around you. When you are flying, simply connect the cable provided in the convenient travel case and keep listening.
The MM 550-X TRAVEL comes with volume and playlist controls integrated on the ear cup, to save you from scrabbling for your mobile phone, iPod, iPad or laptop. And because the closed-back capsule design of the ear caps enhances passive noise reduction, you can keep your music entirely personal and relax in the knowledge that you won’t be irritating fellow travelers.

Amazing Headset

I use this headset as I travel on airplanes a lot. It is perfect for travel. Not only does it break down into it's compact carry case perfectly but it also cancels out all the unwanted noise on the plane. This headset has all travel power supplies to charge and all audio connections to adapt as well no matter where you take them. Most expensive headset I have ever purchased by far but worth every penny. I would recommend buying an extra battery to bring with as the battery life isn't horrible but it does die before a 15 hour international flight if you make those frequently lol. Not to worry though once the battery dies, and this is probably the only bluetooth noise canceling headset I know that does this, you just plug in the audio cable and the headset still works great.
PRO: Amazing Sound, Works Without Power, Can Sleep With Them On, Perfect Fit, Universal Audio Set, Universal Power Set, Great Noise Cancellation
BEST USES: International Flights, Recreational Use
BOTTOM LINE: I would recommend this to a friend.

not so good for travelling

I use the headphone primarily when on planes. Good sound and very comfortable. Noise cancelling should be called noise reduction as they certainly don't cancel noise. Why only 3 stars? Simple. When you sleep wearing the headsets the noise cancelling button will touch the headrest and switch off. A poor design feature which can't be locked. Not recommended if you want to sleep on a long flight.
PRO: Durable, Compact, Comfortable
CON: Too Much Ambient Noise
BEST USES: Relaxing, Portable Devices
