These Sennheiser Wireless Headphones Are Now $55
The Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless headphones are on sale for up to $54.99 (the lowest price, according to price trackers ) on Woot, a significant drop from their regular $179.99. This deal is good for the next three days or while supplies last, and if you’re a Prime member, shipping is free (otherwise you’ll have to shell out an extra $6, and shipping isn’t available to Alaska, Hawaii, or PO Boxes). Plus, they come with a two-year Sennheiser manufacturer’s warranty, so you’ll be covered if anything goes wrong.
Available in black, these headphones feature silicone tips in four sizes for a more comfortable and snug fit. They use Bluetooth 5.2 and support multiple codecs including AAC, AptX and AptX Adaptive for high-quality playback (although there is no LDAC). Additionally, their 7mm dynamic drivers operate from 5Hz to 21kHz, delivering a well-balanced sound signature: bass sounds powerful without distortion, and highs remain clear even at high volumes. The touch controls are well thought out, with a single tap on the left earbud toggling transparency mode, while the right earbud controls playback. Double and triple taps control track navigation (left back, right forward) and voice assistants, respectively. If you’re not happy with that, a companion app lets you customize the controls. The Smart Control app also includes equalizer settings, although the three-band equalizer is fairly basic, according to this PCMag review .
The noise cancellation on the CX Plus is above average, especially for a budget pair. It handles low-frequency sounds like airplane engines well and reduces mids and lows in crowded areas, but higher-pitched noises reportedly leak through. Battery life is about eight hours per charge, and the case adds another 16 hours (mileage may vary). And with an IPX4 rating, they can withstand sweat and light rain; However, if you want something more waterproof, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro ($154.99) might be a better choice, although it costs nearly three times as much.
