Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Sennheiser HD 350BT sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Sennheiser HD 350BT's lowest frequency is at 18Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser HD 350BT's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sennheiser HD 350BT's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Sennheiser HD 350BT driver unit is 32mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser HD 350BT by 8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Sennheiser HD 350BT's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Sennheiser HD 350BT have this type of magnet.
