I base this opinion from flying over 3000 hours on a USAF surveillance platform with $1000.00 BOSE sets. I purchased these for personal air travel because, as those who fly can attest, the engine and environmental systems are deceivingly obtrusive. Instantly I found the sound quality exponentially finer than the standard on-the-ear and in-the-ear headsets I was using. Only a hardcore enthusiast will be able to discern the difference between these and more expensive models. As for the noise cancelling of these; the package claims 75% cancellation which seems about right. Try this test: sit in a room with a constant background noise. Turn off the headset and put them on but do NOT plug them into any sound source. Switch them on and note the difference in sound leakage. Try it in your car with the hum of the road as your noise source. After flipping the switch on and off a few times I think you will agree there is more to these headsets than just impedance adjustment and amplification. All in all for the price I paid ($25.00) they are worth it. There’s better, but you will pay far more in exchange for little gain.

The volume control thing RIDICULOUSLY large. It’s bigger than my mp3 player. I didn’t think it would be a big deal so I ordered them anyway… the sound is great for the money… they’re not as great as $300 headphones, but they’re great for listening to music on the bus! I won’t use them for much longer because of the giant volume controller. People always ask what the hell I’m wearing because it’s so giant and ridiculous. Also, the ear strap is made of rubber and gets stuck to my hair and rips it. Ugh. Good concept, Phillips, but needs a LOT of improvements before it’ll be considered a decent pair of headphones.

For the money this headphone is a good value. I use them mainly with noise cancelling off. The ‘phone is comfortable and gives good sound quality. I recommend it.

When activated, noise reduction feels more like amplification, rather than active noise cancelation.
However, past the noise reduction, these are some very well made headphones.

When you turn on the noise canceling feature you can hear a very low rumbling sound. I tried these on an airplane and several other white noise environments, like fans blowing. When comparing these to regular headphones, there is no difference at all. A coworker let me try his BOSE noise canceling headset and that did make a noticeable difference. The noise canceling feature of these Philips headphones appears to be worthless.
The comfort and quality of these as just regular headphones is ok, but why would you buy these unless you wanted the noise canceling feature?
