Philips Fidelio Noise Cancelling Headphones

The Philips Fidelio X2HR Headphones I purchased at a savings of $150.00 off the regular price are excellent. I use them to monitor recordings I make of my LPs to a digital format on my desktop. The sound is clear and true to the original recording and they fit very comfortably on my head. I will also use them to simply listen to my LPs in quiet comfort.

This Philips Fidelio X2HR choice was my first open-backed headphones after always using closed-backed. It was a great choice. The sound is much better than I was used to and the comfort level on the ears and head is also much more comfortable. I am not an audiophile like some of the other reviewers, yet I am very pleased with my choice. I highly recommend these headphones.

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

Best noise cancelling headphones in the market right now

I am loving my new headphones, cleanest sound ever and a good noise cancelling.

These are great headphones and I really love the noise cancelling feature.

Great as Bluetooth headphones, over the ear wired headphones and noise cancelling.

I really like this headset I did want to compare the virtual surround on these and my razer thresher ultimate headset when it came to gaming with them The Philips Fidelio X2HR sounded good but there are some sounds that can not be picked up when gaming as I have heard and seen in some youtube reviews that have said otherwise The sound is great on the Philips Fidelio X2HR for gaming But there just better for thrasher music and heavy bass They really kick I highly recommend these

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

With COVID-19 and the stay at home order Noise Cancelling Headphones became a necessity for me. I tried a competitor's headphones and decided they were not good enough I could still hear everyone talking. Then I bought these. Amazing sound quality, lightweight, easy pairing, power saving, noise cancelling is wonderful! I can't hear a thing that's going on outside of the headphones.
