These headphones seem to suffer the same problem as all large over ear headphones philips has made: they lack bass. Well actually, let me correct myself, they lack DEEP bass. Now, if the only drums in your music are bongos, then i guess you wont really notice the bass problem. However, if you listen to any music with any other type of drum, the bass will be extremely hollow sounding. This is a strange phenomenon since i love philips smaller headphones for their cheap prices and deep bass. It may be due to the fact that this headphone lacks a bass port, however the drivers are so big you would think it wouldnt make a difference. I dont know, philips has to work something out.
As for noise cancelling, at best it is mediocre. You can definitely tell when its on, but it doesnt seem to be at a strong enough level. I have noise cancelling headphones from Targus (however, targus is not really known for making headphones so I'm guessing they had some third party company make these) which i got for 40 bux with rebate. They are AMAZING compared to the philips. THe bass is deep, the noise cancelling is amazing (although you have this feeling of pressure on your ears when the noise cancelling is on)and you can actually control the level of noise cancelling which i have yet to see on any other headphone.
ANother complaint is that philips put the switch for noise cancelling in the wire instead of the headphone itself. This wouldnt be such a problem if the button on the switch wasnt so flimsy. Definitely will break after constant use.
As for comfort, the headphones are great. But since this is their only completely positive feature, it might be a better idea to buy a pillow.
Basically i am in the market becuz the targus headphones are a little uncomfortable. However, I'm beginning to realize when buying low end noise cancelling headphones, your sacrificing lots of quality for a little bit of comfort....

After reading some of the reviews, I think some people were too harsh on these. Volume control is very nice. Noise reducer does its job and reduces noise. It doesn't block it out fully; but reduces it enough where you can enjoy what your listening too w/o a problem. Head-set fits fine on my head.
They are a tad bit flimsy. I've had my for 8 months now. No breakage. Handle them well, don't toss them about or go skiing with them on and they will be just fine for everyday use or travel....

I ordered a set of these headphones in January. Worked great but a month after I got them one of the aluminum supports that connect the phone to the main frame broke. I called Phillips and after an explanation they asked me to return the headphones. They sent me a new pair at no charge. A few weeks ago the same "arm" on the headphones broke again. (I am 81 years old and don't thank that I mistreated the phones) In any event when I called Phillips again they told me that the phones were out of warranty and there was nothing can they could do. Obviously this is the last purchase I'll ever make of Phillips products! And, by the way, the problem is the design of the headphones and the material used to hold the phone(s).
