I bought my wife a set of Boise for her birthday and I bought these for me. After trying both, I lost the Phillips head phones.I tend to use headphones for listening to lectures, books and podcasts - I much prefer these headphones.They are comfortable, good sound quality.5 stars
They do reduce the noise some, but not nearly as much as my cheap, passive, "drum phones". I do like the audio fidelity of these headphones. I had high hopes for much better noise-canceling ability. Though my drum phones have less fidelity, I'll be wearing them when I mow the lawn. And I'll be wearing the very comfortable Philips at the office.
I just got these and they were as good as my mother and father's Bose quietcomfort 3 headphones. For this, I would definetly recommend this to a friend.*****"s
I use to listen audiobooks when travelling to work on the subway. Due to the environmental noise it was neccesary to use the iPod at full volume. In order to avoid that problem I bought this headphones about a month ago, and it really worked. It reduces the constant noise at the metro allowing me to use the volume at a moderate power.I don't know if the higher prices models have a better performance, but I'll not use that amount of money to find out (nor to buy just a headphones).For me the SHN9500 are an excelent solution.
I'm a male of average height. Tiny size. In-ear noise isolation - Cuts about 50% of the noise. Build quality seems good so far.Overall, I'm impressed of such performance at this price range. But most TV/music players have volume adjustments already. However, the high notes doesn't sparkle like some high-end models.The single AAA battery lasted the entire 12-hour round trip on the airplane with enough power to spare.
Closed ear headphones - Cuts about 50% of the noise. Active noise cancellation - Cuts about 25% of the noise.3. Bulky.This headphone is closed ear and has active noise cancellation, so it's very effective. With that said, it won't cut out all noise. If you're looking for noise cancellation headphones, here are some choices:1. Without it, movies are hard to understand because of the missing words, even if I max out the volume.The closed ear design doesn't hurt the ear. But after wearing it for several hours, the pressure against the face and top of neck become very noticeable.It has no volume adjustment, so you can't dial the volume down.
I like the cord that has mini-plugs on both ends so that I can replace it with a longer one. But it's already long enough to plug into my computer located right at my feet.I can fit my entire ear into the headphone cup with a little wiggle. When I'm on an airplane, the difference is huge. Some people can't stand something in the ear.2. If your ears are too large, you might lose the advantage of this closed ear design.Sound quality is decent.
When I'm at home, I don't hear any difference other than the fact that the fan noise from my computer is quieter. I can understand movies better, and enjoy music as if I'm sitting at home. The closed ear design really helps out the bass, which is lacking on most open-ear headphones. I never expected much from Philips, but I'm warming up to them a bit more.
