Love these headphones. My girlfriend did a lot of research first on noise-canceling headphones cuz we both work in a pretty noisy environment...lots of talking/chit chat going on...and wanted something to help cancel it out so we could concentrate. She decided on the Philips SHN9500 headphones and after a few days she said she loved them so I gave them a try for a few hours and knew that I wanted a pair, too. Great value, good sound, love the case they come in.

I bought these because I was working in a cubicle right outside my two bosses offices who would yell to each other from their offices instead of calling or IMing. Anyway, these headphone block out all the noise of the office so I can focus.Furthermore, the sound quality is awesome on these phones. The range is superb. I can even get the fat bass on ODB's Hippa to the Hoppa. Excellent price, excellent quality. BK Big Sky
