Philips SHN5200/28
$60.00
Released April, 2010
The Pros:Headset is very comfortable - soft leatherette ear pads are very lightweight, with minimal stress on the user's ear and temple regions.
The Cons:Not recommended for intensive travel applications - thin plastic headband is very flimsy and may snap if stored improperly. Headphones lack advertised volume control on the cable - not conducive for mobile use when the user's Mp3 is stored in a jacket, purse or bag during use. Maximum volume level is very low - unit is virtually unusable in crowded public environments eg. mall, subway, bus etc.
The SHN5200/28 is a set of over-ear headphones from the Phillips company. Featuring an adjustable headband for maximum comfort, this model can reduce ambient noise up to 75 percent through the power of active noise cancellation technology.
Each of the unit's ear cups is fitted an externally-mounted microphone, helping to measure local noise levels and apply an appropriate amount of cancellation. The technology is trigged via an in-line slider control attached to the headset's Y-type cable, and comes stock with a AAA battery for immediate use. The soft, lightweight nature of the ear cushions helps to provide an airtight seal around the user's head for optimal bass response, making the SHN5200 a highly suitable option for isolated train and airplane travel. A gold-plated 3.5mm stereo connector is provided for inputting to all modern smart phones and portable media players, with a dual plug adapter provided for use with airline entertainment systems.

Noise cancellation provides minimal ambient noise reduction - many users can't tell the difference between "on" and "off" modes

Overall sound quality is fairly disappointing - low frequencies are flat and muddled, high frequencies are tinny and prone to unwanted distortion

Right and Left ear cups may be mislabelled - some users report reverse playback as compared to other headsets
