Enjoy the sound of silence when everything around is noise

Works reasonably well

Average amplifier

The end result isn't quite as impressive as one might hope for. Good results in passive mode, but expensive

Expert Review

 

While not dethroning Bose as the kings of active noise cancelling headphones, Philips' SHN9500 offers a good alternative by combining both good quality audio with impressive noise cancelling.

Good sound quality, isolation works well

Bass heavy sound not suited to all listeners, a little flimsy

Philips is one of the oldest and most reliable names in personal audio gadgetry, with some very respectable releases in the realm of MP3 players, earphones and headphones. Today we have one from the last mentioned category, a slick and sexy headphone...

At Rs. 5,999 we definitely have a headphone worth looking at, only thing is there are some fallbacks in the purity of the sound response. A pure audiophile will not like the disobedient bass timing, plus a little more presence in the mids would have...

Good sound quality. Blocks external noise well. ”

 

Good sound quality. Noise isolation works well. It makes for enjoyable commutes on public transportation. It's easy to doze off in a LazyBoy with these on your head.  Sounds are clear in active noise-cancelling mode. Too much volume can be painful.  It...
