Comment: With other noise cancelling headphones I've had it just cancelled the outside noise i.e. a lawn mower but gave you full vol. if you wnated it. With these when you turn on the noise cancelling feature it also turns the vol. so I can no longer hear the program I was listening to on either cassette, CD, or MP3. Waste of money! Do not buy.

Comment: I gave these headphones as a christmas gift. They weere used for the first time on the last week in Feb. 2010 and did not work. I tried contacting Philips twice to ask about an exchange but no response. I would try another brand that has better customer support

Summary: Great Headphones 2010-03-23
Comment: A few points
--Pros:
removable audio cable
very comfortable on my head
--Cons:
Noise canceling does not reach higher frequencies
The removable audio cable seems to be a bit weak, and I had to replace on my old pair once (they cost about $5)
My previous pair of these headphones broke after 1 year, so I decided to get another pair. They seem very durable, as they were not well treated for that year. The noise canceling is not as good as the Bose headphones which I have used before, but considering how much cheaper these are, it was worth it. The noise canceling cancels out lower frequencies, but fails to cancel out higher frequencies. I recently took these on a plane trip, and found sleeping nearly impossible without these. They are nice because you can remove the audio cable, and just listen to noise cancellation. I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone.

Summary: as good as Bose 2010-03-20
Comment: I bought these in anticipation of an extra-long overseas trip. I don't travel often so didn't want to pony up for the Bose. During the trip I was able to do a comparison test with my husband's Bose and could not tell the difference. I used them to listen to the movies and to books on my MP3--not music. The noise canceling really does work well. It seems to me that the ear cup ought to be the better choice.

Summary: If you like to hear bass these aren't the earphones for you.... 2010-01-29
Comment: The earphones were ok. The noise cancelling was good but the sound of my music wasn't so great in these headphones. Before I had ear buds by Sony which were great but when I workout they tend to slip out. I thought getting these would be better plus cancel out all of the noise around. They actually were worse than my Sony ear buds. If you are someone that doesn't care about the sound of music and mainly need it for travel, it would be great for you. I just expected more out of them.
