Philips Fidelio NC1 / 00 Foldable Noise Cancelling On-Ear Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Philips NC1 in school grades:
1 entire sound impression
1 bass, middle, treble
2 Details, spatiality
1 Sound with NC
2 sound without NC
1 Handling (folded, fit the box)
1 seat
1 processing
3 Passive noise isolation
4 active noise insulation
5 no cable with volume control
6 noise right when Handynetz searches

The noise-canceling:
Why manufacturer of NC headphones often assume that their customers feel disturbed only by low frequencies?
For me, the NC should also talks in train, bus and office hide what is purely passive can not be displayed. Just does not work well when NC1. I use a NC headphones on his way to work in U / S and tram and put it also in the open-plan office, if I do my "rest" need.
Although the NC Philips filters the low frequencies out properly, the rest calls, announcements coming almost unfiltered through. Although the passive shielding is not bad, but is not enough by far. With NC systems namely, the frequencies that are not filtered out significantly more present subjective when the system is turned on. So the Philips will not can not score against some competitors. The dominate a larger frequency spectrum and umbrellas therefore much better, even conversations. But he has plenty of other qualities to find friends in the market.

Sound, fit and processing:
The Philips is processed well thought out and high quality. He folds up compactly.
It can be worn very comfortable for a long time.
Sonically the Philips is excellent. He provides a lot of details that are spatially well mapped. Treble, mid and bass are well balanced and offer a harmonious sound. This applies to both modes, active and passive with NC without NC.
With NC He sounds a little more lively, tangy and the bass are more present go deep in the basement. But these are just nuances. In a quiet environment, there is active NC a faint noise, which is normal in most NCs.
All in all, it is the sound, the processing, handling and seat classes better than I was previously competing with active NC.

Features:
The Philips NC 1 has a good, sturdy box, in which he fits in perfectly. It comes with a 3.5 cable with microphone and start / stop and call answer button switch.
Unfortunately, Philips sets with no cable with volume control. If you want the function, the iProtect Ersatzkabel red for Monster Beats by Dr. Dre can buy with Micro and volume control. The cable works with the iPhone and Philips NC1 properly.

CONCLUSION:
Although the NC falters in practice and not effective enough works of Philips but otherwise absolutely convinced there is a perfect score.
