Customer Reviews

I have to agree with the two previous reviewers. For the price, these headphones are very good.

The other reviewers just don't know what they are talking about. First of all, THERE IS a noice canceling effect. But noise canceling does not eliminate all sound, it makes certain sound frequencies less obtrusive or present, that's all. You will still hear what's happening around you. Just power the unit without any music playing and you will see the effect of the noise cancelling. It's does not seem much, but it does help on a bus, in the metro or a plane to drown out a bit the ambient noise.

Of course, these aren't 300$ Sennheiser or Bose headphones. The Philips perform miserably compared to those. But for God's sake, they are under 30$ !

Finally, they are comfortable. Make sure you you really insert the loops BEHIND the edge of your ears not just over, fiddle with the small-medium-large settings, and there you go. The cushioning is very comfortable.

Overall, considering the LOW PRICE, you can't go wrong with these.

Since I'm not an audiophile like most people who buy noise cancelling headphones, I consider this product a great purchase. It is not expensive, has noise cancelling, and has superb sound quality. The sound quality on these are better than those found in the Sony Behind the Neck Sport Headphones. The "hiss" others have complained about I can not find. The noise cancelling is not noise isolating. You will hear loud noises. The low buzzy and medium ranges will not be heard.

Buy these if you want noise cancelling in behind the neck headphones but not BOSE headphones.
