According to our headphones expert
Listen in silence to music anywhere with the Sennheiser PXC 480. These headphones have active noise canceling. Distracting ambient noise is filtered, so you'll clearly hear every detail of a song. This is handy when you'd like to enjoy your favorite songs on the plane, undisturbed. The battery life is 50 hours, so you can switch on the noise-canceling feature for days without having to charge the headphones. The soft leather ear cups along with the ergonomic design ensure a comfortable listening experience. When you're done listening, collapse the headphones into a compact package. Store them away in the included carrying bag and take them with you wherever you go.

The wireless headphones from Bose and Sony and also the PXC 550 from Sennheiser gave me pain in my ears. Unfortunately that is also the case with this 480, but it will be up to me. I think it's important to report for the audiophiles.
The 550 has a very good sound quality, and that appears to be the case with the 480. With the 480 you can choose the DAC you attach to it, with audible improvement as a result! The disadvantage is that you can only use the headphones in one place at a time because it is wired. I call the sound audiophile in the lower segment. Detailed and clean. Nice listening. Still, I can't listen to the thing for too long because my ears start protesting. However, all models have that with me.
The wearing comfort is excellent. The pressure on the head is a bit high by itself, but with (very) careful bending (a little) that is solved. The cushions are very comfortable and completely close acoustically. The ear cups are also pleasantly more spacious than other models. I find the noise canceling better than the Bose and also more pleasant. The device is apparently perfectly adjusted because you can hear the sound decay as the cushions sink into place.
Operation with a tiny switch but works fine. You can also amplify the speech from the environment, but then you have to hold the tiny button and that seems inconvenient to me.
I bought the thing to filter out noise from my living environment, and it works well for that.
Detail: the sound and the noise reduction between left and right can sometimes be a bit out of balance; I exchanged one copy.

I like headphones that dampen the ambient noise well without the audio sounding bad, the headphones succeed in this.
I also chose these headphones because of the material around the ear cups. It is nice and soft leather that fits well against the skin. My ear fits well into the shell without touching the edges.
The active noise cancellation function also works better than expected. I prefer to wear these all the time. The reason for this, in addition to attenuating the ambient noise even further, is that the sound seems to have a little more depth. The bass gets just a little louder. This brings me to the "tone" of the headphones. The sound is very clear and "real". I like some extra bass in my sound but I control this via an equalizer. The bass range is also good, you feel a nice punchy bass that is not overly present as in many gaming headsets that I have had before.
The cable that comes with it (which unfortunately has an extra long and thin special Sennheiser end, and can therefore not be replaced with a standard cable without cutting the end) is a bit short but for normal use it is long enough. It is also a fairly fragile cable that breaks easily at the ends. So pay attention to this.
The storage case that comes with it is nice if it is a bit weak. It is not a hard case but a somewhat softer case that you should not accidentally sit on. The headphones fold easily and fit snugly. The zipper can then be closed with a little effort.
In conclusion, it is therefore a very good headset worthy of its price. A clear and real sound with good closure of ambient noise.
