Great sound for the price.

 

Great sound for the price.

I've bought four of these over the years and have not found any headphones at this price that can even come close to the sound quality. Even headphones over 100 dollars can't compare. I'm a singer, guitarist and use headphones constantly. These are...

Great for air travel

I bought these specifically to use on a flight from the east coast to Korea. I picked them up locally at the last minute at a discount electronics shop for $30. For what I paid they did the job. They may not be the same quality as Bose, but then...

Not that great or that bad

These are not the greatest headphones. I've had mine for years and only recently have really started using them again at a new job. I own a pair of Bose as well and of course there is no comparison. They do not perform as well as the better quality NC...

For what I need... they work GREAT

 

For what I need... they work GREAT

Granted... they are not the best sounding or most comfortable. But at the price I paid - $19.99 - I was not expecting audiophile quality. I wanted something to listen to audio books - no music, just spoken word. For this purpose they work great. The...

Not that bad, too many complaints!

After reading some of the reviews, I think some people were too harsh on these. Volume control is very nice. Noise reducer does its job and reduces noise. It doesn't block it out fully; but reduces it enough where you can enjoy what your listening too...

Broken Support Arm

 

Broken Support Arm

After using these heaphones lightly for about 6 months, the support arm broke. The noise cancelling does not work all that great either, but I am skeptical that any manufacturer and actually reduce noise all that well (Maybe Bose?). Also, another...

OK but not durable

 

OK but not durable

For basic use, this works pretty well. I used mine in the office several times a week. One annoying thing is the cord -- the volume control/noice reduction switch is placed in an awkward location. It just hangs there and kinda pulls on the headphones a...

This headphone has low sound quality and no Noise Canceling.

 

This headphone has low sound quality and no Noise Canceling.

"Noise Canceling" definition on the Web = A technology that reduces the background noises but enhances the sound. What Philips HN100 has? - reduce background noise = NO, - enhance the sound = NO, - humming noise = YES, when "Noise Canceling" is ON, -...
