Philips SHN5500 Noise Cancelling Headphonesimmediate£43.99
Block out irritating background noise and enjoy your music in peace with these neckband style headphones that actively cancel background noise by up to 75%!

The Philips SHN5500 Noise Cancelling Headphones incorporate smart noise cancelling technology that is great at removing low frequency noise like jet engine noise.

So you can enjoy soft music on flights 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. And this technology is located in a slim and lightweight control box on the headphone cable that also includes a convenient volume adjustment.

Comfort-wise, the SHN5500 headphones have soft ear cushions that can be worn comfortably for long periods and enclose around your ears to deliver great sound. In addition, the flexible rubber earhooks provide a non-slip grip for an extra secure and comfortable fit.

And with a 3-way adjustability that includes a fully flexible hinge enabling 360 degree movement, you can position the neckband perfectly for hours of secure comfort.

Also included in this wonder headphone package is an airplane adaptor and an audio jack adaptor meaning you can use these headphones on a range of audio devices.

The Noise-canceling did not work noticeably with my cooker-hood fan turned on. It simply seems to amplify the sound a bit. The neckband is uncomfortable - you can't rest your head on a backrest whist wearing them. I can't recommend them.
 
Uncomfortable and ineffective
Mike Barrett
I spend many hours travelling on planes, trains and automobiles, to coin a phrase, and have tried many different types of headphones over the years. Before the Philips SHN5500 I tried the Philips SBCHN060, no contest! The SHN5500 really are in a class of their own. Comfortable, lightweight, they deliver vibrant, solid and crystal clear sound in all conditions. The noise cancelling, (long black stick with red light when activated) actually does what it is intended to do and copes very well with even the most strenuous intrusive noise.They look good, sound great and the build quality is what you would expect from Philips…very good. Overall if you travel and like your tunes without the hum and drone of outside interference, then the SHN5500 are worth you time and money. (One gripe the cables are about a mile long)
 
Serious travellers will love these
