Manufacturer's Description
70% Less External Noise with Active Noise Cancelling
Switch on to switch off, with these in-ear noise cancelling headphones that actively reduce irritating external noise by up to 70%. They come with a choice of 3 cap sizes to ensure a perfect seal and comfortable fit. Ideal for planes and trains
Compact electronics reduce unwanted external noise by 70%
Smart noise cancelling technology enhances the pleasure of listening to lower volume levels in noisy environments. It's particularly good at removing low frequencies like jet engine noise, so you can enjoy soft music on flights and in trains and similar places without hearing a distracting buzz in the background. The technology actually creates an equal but opposite waveform to the unwanted noise that effectively cancels it out.
Creates a perfect seal for perfect sound
A perfect seal between your ear and headphone will significantly reduce unwanted background noise. With their superb noise isolating characteristics, these headphones not only block out irritating background noise but also deliver superb sound quality at low volume settings.
Hang the headphones around your neck for convenience
For the most convenient neckstrap wearing style, simply loop the cable over your head and hang the control box around your neck. The integrated cable slide provides added support.
3 interchangeable rubber ear caps for optimal fit in all ears
With a choice of 3 interchangeable ear caps from size small to large, surely there is a pair that fits your ear perfectly.
Small control box makes bulky control boxes unnecessary
The miniature electronics are cleverly packaged in the specially designed small control box.
Adapter for in-flight entertainment system connection
Use your own headphones to listen to in-flight entertainment. The adapter simply converts the standard double-mono jacks to a stereo headphone jack.

With this adapter, you can use your headphone on equipment with either 3.5 or 6.35 mm jacks, giving you a wider choice of audio devices.

I'll start with the bad. you have this weird bulky amplifier thing that gets in your way, ends up hooking on to things, and just adds extra bulk to your pocket when you aren't using your generic MP3 player. The bulky amplifier thing takes battery, which is really annoying, so now I have to carry a spare battery around with me. Durability isn't superb either, have had it only for about three months and I am getting intermittent sound in my right ear.
Now for the good. the amplifier thing works, I get absolutely brilliant base out of this. The bulk is hung from the neck so the weight isn't that much of an issue. the inner ear part works brilliantly, the noise canceling is brilliant, it totally makes those tube rides bearable. Overall sound quality is one of the best I have heard from headphones.
Conclusion. The negative points of bulk and extra battery carrying is set against the extra base and sound quality the amplifier affords you. Infact, so much so, it hardly bothers me at all, I would even say it makes me a little affectionate to it for the extra hit I get from the music. Carrying a small AAA battery is also little price to pay. Noise canceling claim really works, and makes the base sound great. Durability-wise I wish it would last me a little longer, but headphones just seem to be going the way of mobile phones - exchange them every year. I bought these headphones for £35, and the price has fallen quite a bit in three months. These are well worth it, even with the hassle of the bulky amplifier thing.

I bought these as an impulse purchase for a couple of flights I had booked, and they really do cancel out all manner of low level noises. Naturally, they are not priced up with other more superiors headphones, but for the price these were an excellent investment.
There is a low background hiss which, if used in an environment that isn't that noisy, can become irritating, and for that reason, I felt only three, and not four stars, were appropriate.
The battery compartment and amplification unit can get in the way from time to time, but can be hung very conveniently around your neck.
To the comments previously about the rubber ear-buds. Yes, they come off, and yes, I lost one. Even tho' Philips do not supply replacements, they are not unique to Philips. Replacement earbuds for Sennheiser CX300 are identical to the ones supplied by Philips - I know, I bought some.

I bought these to wear while walking the dog (traffic noise) and cycling (ditto). I know they are advertised as for aeroplanes, but I assumed they would work just as well elsewhere.
What a mis-calculation. The control unit, unlike my previous pair of active noise cancellers, is bulky, and, horror of horrors, has no clip on it. It cannot be attached to your clothing. No problem you might say, just bung it in a pocket.
But, crucially, the cable from the earphones to the control unit is only long enough to let it dangle halfway down your chest, where it promptly pulls the earpieces out with its bulk.
These really are only useful if you are sitting down, and can plonk the contrrol unit in your lap.
I bought a pair of creative passive noise cancellers after 24 hours.
