Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sennheiser Px 210 BT

  • Highly portable, lightweight (105g), and features a compact folding mechanism
  • Supports aptX codec for improved wireless audio quality
  • Includes a user-replaceable battery and a detachable cable for passive wired use
  • Tactile playback and volume controls are intuitive and easy to navigate by touch
  • Soft ear cushions provide decent comfort and sound isolation for an on-ear design
  • Minimal sound leakage even at higher volumes

What customers don't like about Sennheiser Px 210 BT

  • Lacks a built-in microphone, making it unsuitable for phone calls or as a headset
  • Bluetooth reception can be prone to blips or dropouts depending on device placement
  • Maximum volume levels are reported as relatively low, especially in passive wired mode
  • High-frequency treble definition can feel rolled off or lacking detail compared to wired counterparts
  • Features a bright, constantly blinking blue LED that some users find annoying in dark environments
  • On-ear clamping force may cause discomfort during long listening sessions

Verdict

The Sennheiser PX 210 BT is a compact, supra-aural wireless headphone featuring Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity and support for the high-quality apt-X codec to ensure hi-fi sound reproduction. It utilizes high-output neodymium magnets and Duofol diaphragms to deliver a frequency response of 15 Hz to 22,000 Hz with a sound pressure level of 107 dB. Main pros include its highly portable, collapsible design with a metal-reinforced headband, integrated earcup controls for track and volume management, and a rare user-replaceable lithium-polymer battery providing approximately 10 to 12 hours of playback. Additionally, it offers versatility through an included 3.5mm cable for wired use if the battery depletes. However, notable cons include the lack of a built-in microphone for phone calls, the absence of multipoint pairing support, and occasional Bluetooth reception dropouts depending on device placement.
