Sennheiser PXC450 Fault?

[jmill]

Hi Guys,

Brand new to the site so hello....

took the plunge and paid more than my cheapo replacement iphone headphones

I am a little disappointed by the noise cancellation of them however... When the music is not playing the noise cancellation isn't really noticeable which is noticeable with the Bose QC 15 that I tried.

I am a little worried that they might be broke or fakes.... everything else seems ok

I have not heard someone say this before - there should be a remarkable difference particularly between noise cancelling on and the push to talk button being activated. If you got them from a reputable dealer there is little chance they are fake and a higher chance they are broken. If they are an ebay purchase from a Chinese reseller and were pretty cheap they really could be fakes.

These are expensive headphones, most legitimate retailers will make less than 30% on these - if the price is 30% less than RRP or more then you should smell a rat - how can someone sell a product and make a profit for less than the item actually costs a retailer to buy? You can apply that to most products, you will be very surprised how many fake goods are available.
