Philips Fidelio supra aural headphones NC1 active noise reduction with microphone and call pickup (Electronics)

Customer Review

Very compact and lightweight (about 150g), this headset is discreet as the detachable audio cable (it measures only 1m20). As a closed helmet, provides excellent insulation of external sounds (I even impression to have my hard hat Peltor on the head): very convenient to listen to your favorite songs or work in a quiet environment openspace.

Unpacking the pretty box shows us a beautiful and thick rigid carrying case. A small pocket on top is used to place accessories or cables.
Also included is a micro USB cable, braided audio cable (3.5mm ends - Classic one side and the other to 4 contacts for the support of the stereo microphone and remote control) as well as an adapter 2 outputs 3.5 mm jack to connect to a découte system in aircraft.
The documentation is multilingual: quick Installation Guide and a nice 28 page booklet.

*** *** Design and Features
The miniature headset is foldable and easy to carry. He enjoys dune excellent finish as the headphones. The covers of these are small and flexible. We can use the headset for hours without having the impression to have the compressed ears. Larceau sajuste enough to provide sufficient comfort for all head shapes.

Integrated control the toggle audio cable between a phone call and music.

*** *** Tuned
Overall, the sound is good although I already knew better. All frequencies are set at the front and the stereo is respected. The speakers 40 mm neodymium are pleasant and tuned is done without background noise.

*** The load reduction and noise ***
To enjoy the active noise reduction must use the included battery (rechargeable via USB micro for 2 or 3 hours for a range up to 30 hours). If you disable the filter feature, the battery is not sought. It active noise reduction via a button.
Filter activated or not, I have not felt real differences between these two modes (i tested at home and in the street) except a more impressive sound volume with a compression feeling WHEN IT enabled.
I think the built-in microphones (which allow this filtering work) are most effective and responsive in a very noisy environment (air, train or subway).

Discomfort lying *** ***
Because of its tiny size and the lack of a system daccroche around the ears, the headphones will use that slide if lying on his bed or on the seat bench in transport. This is annoying enough to regularly put the headphones on our ears.

*** My opinion ***
Découte quality and design and sound that it provides seclusion make this Philips headset a great choice. Nevertheless, I think the price is too high and quune market value of max 190 would have been more appropriate.
I am also skeptical about the effectiveness of anti actual noise filtering in a moderately noisy environment.
Overall its a very good helmet comes complete (jadore quality transport létui). Because of the price, I recommend it only if you have a real use in public transport.
