General Description
Perfect for the new iPad and other Bluetooth A2DP capable devices! A pair of PXC 310 BT headphones makes a great travel companion.
Like the PXC 310 headphones, these sealed, on-ear mini headphones are equipped with NoiseGard™ 2.0 for up to 90% active noise cancellation. The TalkThrough function lets you chat with seatmates without removing the headphones. But the PXC 310 BT goes a step further with its Bluetooth® 2.1 wireless reception for cable-free listening (listen only) from countless Bluetooth enabled audio devices. When paired with a Sennheiser Bluetooth adapter (sold separately), the acclaimed apt-X codec is utilized for audiophile-grade sound over a Bluetooth link.
These headphones offer a collapsible design with metal-reinforced headband, and come with integrated track and volume controls on the right earcup for enhanced usability and convenience on supported devices. The PXC 310 BT also functions as normal headphones without the battery, NoiseGard or Bluetooth activated. An extensive set of accessories - detachable audio cable, in-flight adapter, multi-country charger, rechargeable lithium polymer battery and carrying case - completes the package. .
Have a wonderful flight.

(click here) - Due to the nature of Bluetooth technology, users may experience a slight audio latency when watching video on a portable device. The headphones are working fine. This is a characteristic of all Bluetooth headsets. Latency is not an issue for audio-only use, OR when using the included detachable headphone cable for a wired audio connection when watching video.
- Compatible (listen only) with latest generation of tablets

Glossary
| Charging time |
| The time required to recharge a Sennheiser accupack. After recharging, automatic chargers will automatically switch to trickle charging. |
| Frequency response (headphones) |
| The frequency response of a pair of headphones is given within limits defined by the manufacturer. |
| Impedance |
| Impedance expresses the AC resistance of a microphone or a set of headphones. It is dependent on frequency and is given at 1 kHz as the so-called nominal impedance. Impedance is measured in ohms. In recent years, an industrial standard has developed, setting the impedance of headphones at 50 or 600 ohms. Sennheiser headphones are manufactured according to this standard, thus practically ruling out connection problems. With microphones, the input impedance of the following microphone amplifier should have at least three times the value of the nominal impedance, in order to prevent it from unnecessarily attenuating the microphone signal. |
| NoiseGard™ noise compensation |
| NoiseGard™ is an active noise compensation system which Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots, who have to rely on good sound quality even in high-noise environments. NoiseGard™ actively compensates the noise, based on the physics principle of sound and counter-sound, which works as follows: tiny microphones pick up the low-frequency ambient noise in the vicinity of the user’s ear. Based on that noise interference, the NoiseGard™ electronic module calculates the required sound wave with 180° phase inversion. The unwanted noise and the phase-inversed sound wave meet directly at the user’s ear where they virtually cancel each other out. The result is an effective reduction in ambient noise. The music is transmitted in the same high quality, so that even quiet passages can be enjoyed in noisy environments. |
| Operating time |
| States how long a unit can be continuously used with one set of batteries / rechargeable accupack. |
| Range |
| See RF wireless headphones, transmission loss. |
| Sound pressure level (SPL) |
| Due to the impractical numerical values, the sound pressure is usually given as the logarithmic value of the sound pressure level according to the equation: dB SPL = 20 x log (po / 0.00002 Pa). The abbreviation SPL (sound pressure level) is added in order to make a clear distinction from other uses of dB. The reference sound pressure, which is at the same time the threshold of hearing, is then 0 dB SPL. The threshold of pain is 140 dB SPL. A difference in the sound pressure level of 1 dB is just about perceptible, while a doubling of the sound pressure corresponds to 6 dB and a doubling of the volume corresponds to a rise of 10 dB. |
| Total harmonic distortion (THD) |
| Total harmonic distortion is a measure of non-linear harmonic distortion and is given in %. Non-linear harmonic distortions are signals which were not present in the original before the signal was converted by the headphones. These unwanted signals are caused by the diaphragm, whose movements do not precisely move in time with the electric signals that cause it to move. Unfortunately, this is a feature of all electroacoustic transducers. Although it cannot be completely eliminated, suitable steps can be taken to minimise it. However, the user is not interested in why this distortion takes place but in how great the level of distortion must be for it to become perceptible. According to the findings of several research projects, a total harmonic distortion of 1% in the frequency range of 100 to 2000 Hz is imperceptible. Below 100 Hz, the perceptibility threshold lies at 10%. |
| Transducer principle |
| Two transducer principles have become established for the conversion of electric energy into mechanical energy: electrodynamic and electrostatic transducers, whereby the latter is only to be found in audiophile systems, due to their relatively high manufacturing costs. Electrodynamic transducers basically consist of a ring-shaped permanent magnet and an oscillation coil, which is fixed to the receiver diaphragm. When an audio-frequency alternating current is passed through the oscillation coil, it is caused to vibrate in accordance with the audio-frequency alternating current, thus causing the diaphragm to vibrate in the same way. |
