Sennheiser PX 210 BT: only for audiophiles

Description and specifications

Bluetooth is good for many purposes but most serious audiophiles always stay away from wireless audio streaming because of all the interferences and transmission problems that result in sound quality degradation. Sennheiser are serious when it comes to providing excellent sound quality so they’ve dug into wireless transfer mysteries and come up with PX 210 BT, a stereo bluetooth headset especially developed for audiophiles.

With Sennheiser PX 210 BT you don’t get to make/receive phone calls. This might be a stopper for some, but Sennheiser made clear that their product is made for music streaming and nothing more. They’ve used a Bluetooth 2.1 chip that was fitted with proprietary apt-X technology that uses a special algorithm to compress audio and requires a special Sennheiser dongle to be activated. Don’t worry as PX 210 BT can operate wireless without this dongle and they’re fitted with a 3.5 mm jack too in case you miss the good old cord.

Sennheiser PX 210 BT can be easily folded

Construction is also a strong point for Sennheiser PX 210 BT, starting with the two neodymium magnets and Sennheiser’s Duofol diaphragms fitted inside the retractable ear pads. Both pads can be  rotated 90 degrees to form a low profile with the head band, marking for an easy to carry package.

The internal battery of Sennheiser PX 210 BT is of course rechargeable and is rated for 12 hours but I bet in actual use you won’t get there without lowering the volume. Interesting to note is that Sennheiser had put an international charger (not sure which connectors are included so you better ask before you buy)  inside the package and that’s nice for those who travel abroad a lot.

As you can expect from a semiprofessional headset, the Sennheiser PX 210 BT sells for some hard cash, in this case a little over 200 $, a significant drop from the suggested retail price of 299$.
