"Sennheiser creates some of the best audiophile headphones you can buy, but they also manufacture professional headsets for the aviation industry that feature an active noise-canceling technology dubbed NoiseGard. Today we'll take a look at a pair of their high-end consumer headphones, the PXC 450, that includes the same NoiseGard technology as used in some of the professional aviation models."

It was a really tough choice for me whether to get these headphones or the Bose Quiet Comfort 3s. In the end, I choose the 450s after reading this comparison . . .

. . . and have been really happy that I did. These Sennheisers sound AMAZING. And, like your review notes, they fold up to a small size.

Generally speaking, Bose tend not to do as well as similarly priced competitors' headphones, just FYI. They're great at marketing - great quality audio, not so much.
