In-line control and mic switch between music and calls With the in-line control and mic, you can easily switch between your music and phone calls. Fidelio's superb noise cancellation lets you enjoy crystal clear calls even in bustling environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultra transportable
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021

I was looking for over-the-ear headphones--I wear hearing aids, so earphones won't work--and I'm an audiophile who travels a lot. I needed as small as possible with topnotch sound. This one is perfect It doesn't sound as good as my Hifiman planars at four times the size and weight (and ten times the cost), but it is no slouch. The noise cancellation is pretty good, but I mostly use it for lilstening on the go, and for that it can't be beat. Better than Beats, better than Bose....

5.0 out of 5 stars A good headphone for frequent traveller and outdoor user!
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015
When I start using this NC1 two weeks ago, I find its design and package is very good. For example, its wire cord is detachable so that I can replace another cord when it is broken down. I always have trouble with my headphones or ear phones because I have to throw them away once their cords are broken. In addition, the NC1 come with additional two pins adapter which allows us to connect NC1 to the flight on-board AV system during the flight. The active noise cancelling function is very useful when the headphone is being used in a very noise backgound, like in open area or on flight. I don't have a chance to test it during a flight yet. However, I have tested NC1 in various indoor and outdoor environments. I find the active noise cancelling performance is very impressive. In fact, it makes a noticable different to hearing music with/withouth turning ON the active noise canceling function, in a very noisy envirnoment. Also, no annoying hiss is heard when the noise cancelling function is ON. As for the sound quality of NC1, it is very good and I am happy with it in compared with my other headphones. Of course, price different is also a concern for the difference. I didn't feel uncomformtable in wearing NC1 over a hour. I guess this may due to the materials used for ear cushion but I have no idea what is it. NC1 is also included an external mic and a switch so that I can switch between music and incoming call by simply pressing the switch. When I use my iphone with NC1, I find that SIRI can also be activated after pressing the switch for 2 second, everything looks fine!! Prehaps, one thing I don't like is that the switch does not allow me to select music track or volumn control like an ordinary apple earphone. This may sometimes causes me inconvenient to control my iphone when it is in my pocket or during driving.
As a whole, I am very happy with this product! In giving stars either 4 and 5, I'll give 5, but if possible, I'll give 4.5 stars!!

Excellent sound, good ANC. Not the top of the heap for passive headphone quality, but superior to most with ANC. Fairly neutral character, with a slight emphasis on mids. Recommended for frequent travellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars PlayStation VR用に選びました
Reviewed in Japan on October 29, 2016
Verified Purchase
自分はヘッドホンどころかイヤホンも普段使わないような人なので、
音の質や他との比較が出来ませんので装着感などを少々。

イヤホンは使い慣れていないせいもあるのかVR付属のものを1時間も使用していると、
まだまだ遊びたいのに耳や頭の芯まで痛くなってしまって、ゲームを続けるのが辛くなってしまう始末でした。

VRに干渉しにくく、長く使用しても負担になりにくそうなものとなると、
コンパクトで比較的軽量なものでと、行き着いた製品がコレを含むいくつかのオンイヤータイプでした。（素人視点）

・せっかくの新体験なので音の評判が良いもの
・お値段1万円前後まで（VRで散財してるので・・・）
・左からコードが出る
・なんか凄そう。良さそう。→ノイズキャンセリングなら夏場の扇風機音も消えるかしら？

それらの選考結果でこの製品になりましたが、良いですね。
装着は軽く楽で、そこそこのホールド感もあり、お餅か大福かみたいなイヤーパッドは
（夏場の汗は心配ではありますが）2時間くらいの継続使用なら苦痛になりませんでした。
星を1個引くほどでもないですが少し残念な点として、
専用ケースに収める時に毎回最短までバンドの長さを縮めなくてはならないので、
次回使うときにジャストな長さに合わせるのが少々面倒です。（ケースを使わなくなりそう？）
目下のところ大きな不満点はなく定価3万円ほどのものらしいので、
1万円＋税価格ならお買い得に思います。
着けてるのを忘れるくらい仮想現実に没頭しちゃってます～

5.0 out of 5 stars bonne réduction en avion
Reviewed in France on June 1, 2016
Verified Purchase
Comme déjà décrit ici, ce casque est très confortable, et, pour le prix très bien.
J'ai récemment fait un voyage long courrier en avion et j'étais ravi de la réduction de bruit. Vraiment très efficace !!
D'accord, la suppression du bruit dans un avion est relativement facile, mais quand même. J'ai pu dormir assez bien, beaucoup mieux que d'hab (je fait ce genre de voyage 2 fois par an depuis 10 ans).

En plus, le casque tient longtemps (le vol durait 12 heures et ça a marché tout le vol). Je crois que l'autonomie de la réduction active du bruit est même 30 heures.

Bref, le voyage était beaucoup mieux. J'ai aussi les écouteurs Fidelio S1, mais la qualité sonore de ce casque est nettement mieux. Les basses sont profondes et je trouve la qualité en générale très bonne (je suis audiophile).
Marche parfaitement bien avec un iPhone, et tout est inclus (connecteurs dorés etc.).

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuffie di alta qualità
Reviewed in Italy on April 7, 2016

Prima di tutto servizio Amazon sempre al TOP
Confezione semplice e molto curata con custodia rigida elegante e ben fatta
Cuffie bellissime e comode con i loro padiglioni morbidi che chiudono bene gli orecchi e leggere
Materiali di alta qualità
Funzionano benissimo e suono eccellente e già senza noise cancelling attivato isolano molto bene poi quando lo si attiva rumori circostanti spariscono
Consiglio vivamente e liberamente il loro acquisto con rapporto qualità prezzo senza rivali nel settore delle cuffie con cancellazione rumore
Chi vuole il noise cancelling vero non acquisti cuffie con Bluetooth che non daranno mai questo risultato
Niente da invidiare con queste cuffie a Marche molto più blasonate è molto più costose
Ora provate anche in aereo e ottenuto magnifica sensazione di silenzio ovattato con le persone intorno delle quali vedevo solo i loro movimenti ed il rumore dell'aereo era diventato solo un brutto ricordo

5.0 out of 5 stars Klang, Sitz und Verarbeitung top, NC schwach
Reviewed in Germany on January 29, 2015

Der Philips NC1 in Schulnoten:
1 gesamter Klangeindruck
1 Bässe, Mitten, Höhen
2 Details, Räumlichkeit
1 Klang mit NC
2 Klang ohne NC
1 Handling (zusammenklappen, Passform der Box)
1 Sitz
1 Verarbeitung
3 passive Geräuschdämmung
4 aktive Geräuschdämmung
5 kein Kabel mit Lautstärkeregelung
6 Störgeräusche rechts, wenn Handy Netz sucht

Das Noise Cancelling:
Warum gehen Hersteller von NC Kopfhörer oft davon aus, dass ihre Kunden sich nur von tiefen Frequenzen gestört fühlen?
Für mich sollte das NC auch Gespräche in Bahn, Bus und Büro ausblenden, was rein passiv nicht darstellbar ist. Genau das funktioniert auch beim NC1 nicht. Ich nutze einen NC Kopfhörer auf dem Weg zur Arbeit in U-/S- und Straßenbahn und setze ihn auch im Großraumbüro ein, wenn ich mal meine "Ruhe" brauche.
Das NC von Philips filtert zwar die tiefen Frequenzen ordentlich heraus, der Rest –Gespräche, Durchsagen kommt fast ungefiltert durch. Die passive Abschirmung ist zwar nicht schlecht, reicht jedoch bei weitem nicht aus. Bei NC Systemen werden nämlich die Frequenzen, die nicht herausgefiltert werden subjektive deutlich präsenter, wenn das System eingeschaltet ist. So wird der Philips nicht gegen einige Konkurrenten nicht punkten können. Die beherrschen ein größeres Frequenzspektrum und schirmen daher viel besser ab, auch Gespräche. Aber er hat genug andere Qualitäten, um Freunde auf dem Markt zu finden.

Klang, Sitz und Verarbeitung:
Der Philips ist gut durchdacht und hochwertig verarbeitet. Er lässt sich kompakt zusammenklappen.
Er lässt sich über längere Zeit sehr angenehm tragen.
Klanglich ist der Philips hervorragend. Er bietet viele Details, die räumlich gut abgebildet werden. Höhen, Mitten und Bässe sind gut balanciert und bieten einen harmonischen Klang. Dies gilt für beide Modi, aktiv mit NC und passiv ohne NC.
Mit NC klingt er ein wenig lebhafter, spritziger und die Bässe werden präsenter gehen tief in den Keller. Aber das sind nur Nuancen. In ruhiger Umgebung gibt es bei aktivem NC ein leises Grundrauschen, was bei den meisten NCs normal ist.
Alles in allem ist er vom Klang, der Verarbeitung, Handling und Sitz Klassen besser als die von mir bislang gehörte Konkurrenz mit aktivem NC.

Ausstattung:
Der Philips NC 1 hat eine gute, stabile Box, in die er perfekt reinpasst. Er kommt mit einem 3,5“ Kabel mit Mikrophon und Start/Stop bzw. Gesprächsannahme Schaltknopf.
Leider legt Philips kein Kabel mit Lautstärkeregelung bei. Wer die Funktion möchte, kann sich das „iProtect Ersatzkabel rot für Monster Beats by Dr. Dre mit Mikro und Lautstärkeregelung“ kaufen. Das Kabel funktioniert mit dem iPhone und Philips NC1 einwandfrei.

FAZIT:
Obwohl das NC in der Praxis schwächelt und nicht effektiv genug arbeitet, der Philips aber ansonsten absolut überzeugt, gibt es die volle Punktzahl.
