Philips in-ear noise cancelling headphones ?

[Spy]

Does anyone have experience of the Philips SBCHN060 headphones.

Here is a link: Philips SBCHN060

Are they as good/better than other equivalents eg Sennheiser MX 500 or Shure e2c ?

really?

from the looks of it i was expecting 3 times that amount i would be really interested to see how the compare against the shures as they are the only other earphone i was considering

I bought a set of these about a month ago. The sound quality is reasonable for this type of headphone, and the ear pieces stay in my ears quite well and are comfortable. The ear buds themselves give very little noise reduction, but the noise cancelling gives a reasonable amount of LF cut.

However I also bought a Sennheiser PXC250 that is in a different league. The sound quality is better, they have a degree of noise isolation without using the noise cancelling circuit and the electronic cancelling is more effective as well.

The Sennheisers were about £80 from Richer Sounds and well worth the extra is you want them for aircraft noise reduction. (The Philips are better than nothing though!).
