Philips SHN2500 Noise Canceling Earphones

 

Rs 1995 is the price, so that makes it one of the cheapest active noise cancellation earphones. It has some good points, besides, so this one goes squarely in the middle. I would recommend it to those who aren't too particular about frequency response,...

Philips In-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones SHN2500

 

Made by Philips, a major producer of electronics, so the R&D is well-intended, or at least well funded. They give plenty of slack, are somewhat comfortable and sound half-decent

The “noise reduction” is actually noise replacement. The noise reduction unit and battery casing are an in-line box that can't be removed

noise canceling.” Maybe if the audio was superb and the comfort wasn't comparable to an earwig boring into the side of my head, the SHM2500 would be passable.

Worst Earplugs ever purchased

 

Worst Earplugs ever purchased, sound is terrible, i got a pair from a gas station once for a fraction of the price with better sound quality. I cannot believe that they actually advertise this Phillips product with a noise canceling feature that does...

Total Trash

 

The sound is terrible and noice cancelation simply doesn't work. Not a little. Do not buy! I wont be surprised if I find out that this thing that looks a mic for noise cancelation is not a mic. The only thing this thing does is to amplify the sound by...

Noise-Canceling Earphones don't make a whole lot of sense.

 

Ok, here's how I happened to buy this product - I constantly am on the lookout for a good pair of earphones, which is at the same time not pricey. I have seen in the past some excellent ear buds sell for amazing prices for very short period. i always...

Its function is normal, cheap!Suitable for low demand customers!Design standards with the same low price, but occasional use is good!

Consumer review by:

not noise cancelling....

 

These buds aren't exactly what are advertised. They don't cancel any extraneous noise at all. Basically, they're more of an amplifier instead since the volume level goes up significantly when the control is activated. But that's all....there's no...

Consumer review by:

Pretty decent

 

I've had this pair of headphones since March 2008, and they still work great. The noise cancelling actually does work, it's just not a $200 pair of headphones. If you want good noise cancelling, buy the expensive ones and stop complaining. For $30,...

Consumer review by:

Doesn't noise cancel.

 

The only thing these headphones do is raise the volume of what your listening too. This gives the illusion that they're noise canceling, but they're really not. I'm not one for real loud music, and they really hurt my ears as soon as I turned on the...
