raccoon 53 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Well, the price is supposed to be more than 500. Dunno about this one but headphones in this range can and do have good sound quality. Anyway, price is not the only consideration. It should meet requirements. Thanks for the input anyway... Edited May 27, 2011 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 OFF TOPIC @raccoon If you haven't ordered till now, Go for this PHILIPS SHM1900 http://www.letsbuy.c...headset-p-14560 Will cost you Rs 276 after the Rs 250 discount voucher.. It's supposedly a good quality product with good specs, good user reviews across the web, Philips quality... Very comfortable Full Size Earcup, 20-20,000 Hz Frequency Response, 40mm Speaker, 100dB Sensitivity.. Should give you a very acceptable music quality too... And i don't really think you are going to find a better VFM product than this for Rs 276 IMHO... Just DO IT.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Hey thanks dude... it looks good, but 2 deficiencies for my requirement - it does not have active NC function. and again it seems to be optimized for voice chat and gaming and not for music. Actually, have never used/owned a headphone with active NC, so wanna try it out as often there is lot of ambient noise around me. Anyway, have to choose whatever fast... some headphones, including the Creative mentioned above is now showing as SOLD OUT. Actually considering NC handsfree for mobile also. I find those on the O1 below par. But most of the headphones on Letsbuy don't seem to have a mic! Any suggestions? Edited May 29, 2011 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 You are chasing a mirage if you are thinking about getting Active NC in very low budget & in an all in one with Mic Model for use on PC/Laptop. True Active Noice Cancelling Headphones cost a lot of money, involves sophisticated circuitry, and generally not found in Such models. http://en.wikipedia....ling_headphones http://crave.cnet.co...-work-49298151/ Optimized for voice chat/gaming & not for music is also a misconception. The sound reproduction/quality of music will depend on size/quality of speaker, frequency response, sensitivity in dB. I have used a panasonic, philips headphone with the same size 40mm Speaker, 100-105 dB sensitivity & both produced music fairly well. Philips has a reputation for producing better quality/lower cost headphones. Quite popular in UK, Europe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philips has a reputation for producing better quality/lower cost headphones. Quite popular in UK, Europe.. But decent NC headphones are available in that price range. You can see some of them even on Letsbuy. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I don't mid upping the budget, provided it meets the purpose. And if the intended usage is a misconception, why is it mentioned on the pack? Most of the headphones with mic seem to be optimised for voice chat and gaming and not music. Some (very few) mention that it is all purpose. Will have to decide on one soon. Anybody got any advice for 3.5 handsfree (with mic) for mobiles? To add to the confusion, even if it has a 3.5 mm plug, not all work with all mobiles. LIke O1 headset does not work with Nokia and probably the Nokia handsfree will not work on O1 and probably many/most/all other phones... damn!

Philips has a reputation for producing better quality/lower cost headphones. Quite popular in UK, Europe.. In my hurried perusal of the options, it seems I made some mistakes - the NC headphones I referred to seem to only have a NC microphone and not speaker. While it would be nice to have NC mic too, my priority was NC speakers, so that I could listen with less ambient noise. Also got some terminology like NC and isolation mixed up. Got some time to check out the options properly last night, and the Philips headphone suggested by you does seem to be the best option, at least amongst those available on Letsbuy. So will place an order for that soon. Once again, thanks a ton. Edited May 30, 2011 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
