 Outstanding value on good noise cancelling earbuds August 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow, I am amazed at the number of poor reviews on the Philips SHN2500 noise cancelling earbuds. I am not sure what people are expecting for the price, but I for one, was very happy at the quality of the product.
I (unfortuantely) did not buy my earbuds on Amazon so I paid more than the price that is listed on Amazon, but I still find the earbuds to be a nice value. The earbuds have good sound and EFFECTIVELY block out some of the noise aound you. For example - I was in the last row of an Embraer 145 (A small jet which has the engines mounted near the last row of the plane), and I heard virtually no engine noise. I was able to listen to my music and podcast with little distraction. I have used tradition Ipod earbuds on similar planes only to find that my Ipod did not have enough "volume" to overcome the engine noise. This clearly was not the case using my Philips SHN2500 earbuds. What more could I want at this price?
One complaint - after about 2 hours the earbuds were a little uncomfortable in my ears.
Are their better products on the market? Sure look at these too
Sony Mdrnc22/Blk Noise Canceling Headphone (Black) $100
Bose QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones $299
Panasonic RP-HC500 Noise-Canceling Headphones $91
Sennheiser PXC 300 Noise Cancelling Headphones $150
Sennheiser PXC 350 Active Noise Cancellation Headphone (Black) $250
I think you get the picture - if you are looking for a premium product they are out there, but you will have to pay a considerable amount of $$ for the added sound quality.
5 Stars as an overall value
 Noise cancelling doesn't work August 1, 2008
I realize you get what you paid for but I don't detect any noise cancelling in these. Perhaps I got a lemon. I give it 2 stars just because they work with regards to music but I bought them for the noise cancelling.
It's just Ok July 4, 2008
I don't have enough noise canceling experience, but for me the rubber earbuds "cancel" more noise than the actual heavy device.
The sound is really good. I'll give it a try on my next flight. But on normal noise background, I'm not really satisfied.
Don't get confused by the picture, the rounded piece on the right is out of proportion, since it's around 2 inches tall.
Buy these! July 1, 2008
These are the best headphones I have ever had. They sound great, deep bass and clear vocals. The noice cancelling feature works great. They come with three different earbud caps for all ear sizes. I would definitely recomend these for anyone who likes listening to music in noisy environment.
 Noise Canceling Headphones work fairly well. June 27, 2008
I have used these phones while mowing the lawn and I can hear the music better than with just plain earbuds. Whether the effect is due to an increase in volume or from some "filtering effect" is unknown to me. Maybe it is both. The buds fit comfortably in the ear and produce decent fidelity. I wish there was some sort of volume control on these phones since you have to carry around the hefty battery pack and control module which is distorted (smaller) in size comparative to the earbud size in the promotional photos.
