I can't believe it is only sold 7 pairs so far. PXC 550-II is one of the best wireless headphone you can find in the market. It is often compared with Sony XM3 and it has some features you can't find Bose or Sony.
  1. It works as wired. If you sit at your computer for a long time, you know how annoying when you can't use your headphone while it is charging.
  2. Better MIC. Compare to XM3, it has a way better microphone than XM3. This supposed to work as a travel headphone. Better MIC is something you should consider.
  3. $250 + 2500 points + full warranty is just crazy value. It is a BARGAIN.
It has great sound, very comfortable, good noise cancelling, nice control with transparent mode and 20 to 30 hours battery time.. Watch some reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TlsQmf7XtQ - Jimmy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=063PaoI5VFk - Mike O'Brien This one is so under-advertised and it is lucky you found this deal IMO. Hey, I already placed my order. Good luck find a better deal if you miss this. 8 days left.

SangHaI couldn't agree with you more!!! Sonically, it's one of the best out there with a touchpad that works flawlessly, ANC that's pretty good, software that's comprehensive & a mic that's very good while muting background noise. They're comfortable & light. I owned the originals & passed them on to one of my nieces. I rarely see her without them & she raves about the sound. It got her off of the Beats train! :) For whatever reason, this segment of the market seems to focus on noise cancelling ability over sound quality. The best ANC wins out. I've always found ANC to have a negative effect on sound but the PXC 550 seemed to have less of the effect than others. The only possible negative on these is the continued inclusion of a micro USB port. I suspect that it's done to protect sales of the Momentum 3 but it was a shortsighted decision. Still, it's an excellent travel headphone & I had no problems with it during my use. TBH, if I didn't have a Panda pending, I would've jumped on this!

SangHaThis turned out wrong as the price on amazon is now bellow $250.00 well before the ship date, this drop amounted to nothing more then a misleading deal. We are getting literally nothing by buying this drop and waiting, the manufacturer alerted Drop to this price drop probably and I bet that's why things can't ship till July 10th and not earlier. $25 reward gets cancelled out by the wait, so literally nothing of value offered by this drop.

namelessnotionYou are right it is $245 on Amazon now. It was not before. I don't know if you saw drop tried to sell it at $350. Well, I was thinking to buy it from official Sennheiser with full price anyway. I'm not sure why, but I just don't buy premium tech gears from Amazon. I'm still glad I bought it from Drop and appreciate Drop tried. If you think getting $25 reward is not worth waiting, I totally understand it. You might need it now and those who need it now, maybe you don't buy it from Drop. Actually, anything from Drop ships pretty late. I don't need it right now. I already have my headphone works okay so I'm not in hurry. I've been buying stuffs from Drop and I like get stuffs late. It sounds weird but as soon as I get the package, the excitement fade away. Well, I will still get a good headphone $20 cheaper than Amazon.

SangHaNo these don’t really work over wired. They require the DSP to sound right. Whatever analog you feed into it they internally convert back to digital run through DSP and come out back as analog. You are not really saving battery when running wired. these can run completely passive only when the battery is completely drained. And that mode sounds like absolute crap.

iucoenWell, I'm using it wired through Micro-USB both input and output. It works differently with Stereo cable though if it is what you mean. You can connect with Stereo jack for listening but MIC doesn't work through Stereo. It charges the battery too. It is connected with my laptop and I use it all the time for Zoom calls and Gaming calls with my friends.
