Sennheiser's PXC 450 is, without doubt, a first-class pair of headphones. They're supremely comfortable, the noise-cancelling works extremely well, the clarity, detail and frequency response are simply superb, and the talk-through function is a really useful bonus. Not only that, but the build quality is second to none.
