  • Active noise cancellation is limited and not very effective, Lots of distortion when ANC is activated, The control has just one button
  • Philips has taken a gamble by combining active noise cancellation with an on-ear design. The finished product is highly selective, limiting use to certain contexts, while reproducing sound with lots of distortion. All the same, when ANC is turned off, the...

  • Super compact, Comfortable, Good noise cancelling,
  • Feel a little flimsy, Limited bass, Expensive,
  • While the Philips Fidelio NC1's sound quality leaves a little to be desired, they could be just the pair for you if you're after a light-weight, compact pair of headphones with noise cancelling and a big battery to boot. Personally, I'd also be consideri...
