I have had 4 of these and 3 of them no longer work. They are incredibly good for the price and the noise cancellation works very well if you can get a good seal in your ear. I prefer them to my BOSE which is too bulky. When one ear piece stopped working I thought I must have snagged the wire and bought another 2 (I liked it so much at the time I got one for my wife too), but both ear pieces stopped at the same time (in one of them) during a flight and afterwards I dismantled both failed devices and tested the wires - they weren't broken, it is the active device itself that keeps failing, so I couldn't even make up one working one from two halves. Now a third one has gone the same way, I've decided to replace it with a Sony MDRNC33B. Of course this has to last 3 times as long for the same price-to-failure ratio, so if you watch this space... Maybe Philips will read this review and ask me to send the 3 broken ones to them to check as I might just be unlucky. If they didn't keep failing, I would recommend these every time.

I bought these a few years ago and I'm a bit surprised to see them still on the market as they give no active noise cancelling at all (they amplify the signal a bit and add white noise). In addition, Philips tooks months to get back to me and say they weren't going to help.

I bought these to replace my earlier broken (I stepped on the wire and ripped it out of the control bit) Philips headphones which are no longer available and which I would have rated as five star. The reason I give the new ones four stars is because the old ones had textile coverings on the wires and these have got normal plastic and the wires get in a tangle. Otherwise they are just as good at noise cancelling and the sound quality is good.

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.

The in ear head phones are very comfortable, with good sound quality, however when you switch on the noise cancelling you just seem to get a boost in volume and no Relief from surrounding noise. Other head phones i have tried make a real difference, these don't seem to... i plan to do a more intensive test next time i take a flight. :O)
