Philips SHB8850NC

 

Active noise-cancelling (ANC) technology in headphones often comes at a premium price, but not with Philips' SHB8850NC Bluetooth on-ears. These headphones are less than a third of the price of the Bose QuietComfort 35s at £90, but the low price is...

Unfortunately for the Philips SHB8850NC, the budget price equates to budget ANC performance.

Philips SHB8850NC review

 

Cheap, portable, wireless and noise-cancelling, these Philips headphones are fantastic value for money...

Well organised sound ; Surprisingly detailed ; Powerful dynamics

Not enough bass ; Won't be comfortable to everyone ; Others deliver a more spacious soundstage

These wireless, noise-cancelling cans are compact, cheap, and sound great for their price point

The Philips SHB8850NC headphones are packed with features. They're wireless, have noise cancelling and controls for playback, as well as answering calls. There's plenty to play with here, but for all the toys, how do they sound? Find out in our full...

Philips SHB8850NC Active Noise Cancelling Headphones review - no wires, no noise

 

The notion that decent active noise cancelling headphones have to be expensive has been shattered by Philips who has come up with a quality wireless pair for less than $200. Active noise cancelling headphones can set you back up to $500 and they are...

The Philips SHB8850NC Active Noise Cancelling headphones are great value and offer respectable performance to hear your music without wires and without that annoying ambient noise. They don’t quite have the same audio quality as the more expensive...

Review: Philips SHB8850NC Wireless ANC headphones

 

Making a good headphone these days is more than just building a good can with solid audio recreation, as you also need modern features like wireless and noise cancellation. The latest pair from Philips has both of those, and it even has a low price to...

Bright sound; Collapsible; Relatively inexpensive for wireless active noise cancellation;

Very little bottom end, leaving the headphones sounding shallow; Active noise cancellation appears geared only for flights, doing very little with everyday noise; Patchy Bluetooth reception; Controls are a little all over shop; No case or soft...

Philips SHB8850NC noise-cancelling headphones REVIEW

 

From our group test of noise-cancelling headphones this issue, the Philips designs lack executive appeal, but are usefully small, nicely balanced and affordable.

Consumer review (argos.co.uk)

Does the job.

 

I bought these to use on a long haul flight, to reduce background noise. They certainly work. They are quite tight on the head, and I have a small head. I haven't tried to widen the clamp as I think it is plastic and would probably break. The actual...
