PHILIPS H9505 Hybrid Active Noise Canceling (ANC) Over Ear Wireless Bluetooth Pro-Performance Headphones with Multipoint Bluetooth Connection

these are super comfortable and provide great sound. the charge could last longer but they're otherwise great.ANC can sometimes be a little aggressive.

Negative: Bought these about 3 months ago and the hinge where it swivel and folds is so fragile it broke. Philips won't honor the warranty because it's physical. Never heard that excuse before. Now I'm using it with tape on one side as it's hanging by the wire. So there's no pressure on it on that ear and the sound is a bit lower as compared to the other side. As you can see in the photos, it's practically brand new and not abused. Don't count on any warranty from this Philips.Positive:Other than that it's a good headphone in terms of sound quality and ANC. With ANC on, it removes a lot of the noise from the environment as I commute via subway. The bass is amazing and I'm already afraid of hearing damage if I turn it on too loud as the bass is kicking.Battery life is excellent. I can use it for 3-4 hours a day for a week without having to recharge.

Have been looking for a good quality ANC headphone for noisy environment for a while. I need an extra pair when working in server room which the fan noise is quite loud. After some research, this Philips H9505 came across and I really like the design. Hence decided to give it a try. Here are some Pros and Cons:Pros:1.Really good noise cancelling effect, the Hybrid ANC feature works really well on cancelling fan noise.2.Awaressness mode has the right amount of ambient sound balance, not overly amplifying whispers as some other expensive ANC headphones tends to.3.Very comfortable headphone padding. A good whole-day listening companion.4.Touch pad works! I'm not a touch pad fan generally but the one on this headphone works as a charm!5.For the sound, the tune skewed heavily towards Bass. I'm impressed by the extension of the low end, probably contributed by the 40mm driver. Maybe a bit too heavy from my taste but this works well in noisy environment.6.Solid construction and great design, built with premium materials. Head band, padding, driver housing, hinge...etc. I also like the how it looks but this might be subjective. :PCons:1.The headphone buttons has that cheap plastic look. Although the buttons are small and low profile, but I mean come on, it's like a Maserati with Chrysler parts on console.2.The App doesn't really do anything, hence lack of ability to personalize frequency response. A multiband EQ would be nice. Hope Philips will update the app in the future to support this feature.Overall a solid headphone, some details could have been better but I'm satisfied as is. This will be my working horse for office use.Edit 6/29/2021Philips headphone app now works with my H9505. Now I can toggle different level of ANC. Also got the EQ adjustment feature which is the most important to me. For some reason the custom EQ setting reset itself on the APP. Setting seems to be preserved in the headphone but not quite sure. Hope this could be fix soon.

Purchased four sets of headphones for a family vacation. I am pleased to report the ANC is excellent in the airline environment, and the "awareness mode" is also helpful. The headphones are comfortable. The accompanying control app is helpful and allows for some customization. Battery life is more than sufficient and charging is easy. Included plug and two-prong airline adaptor are also useful.A couple issues that make this a four star and not five:(1) when connected to airline entertainment via Bluetooth, I had to max out volume to hear the show I was watching (same for kids). Conversely, volume levels were much better when physically plugged in to the entertainment system.(2) When not connected to Bluetooth, the headphones turn off, and ANC with them, every few minutes. This occurs even if the headphones are physically plugged into a source. This is extremely annoying. You can work around this problem by connecting to your phone via blue tooth, turning off your phone volume, then physically plugging into the entertainments center. Not ideal.Overall this product exceeded expectations for noise cancelling ability and sound quality. They are also very comfortable.Final thought: based on reviews and price it appears this product is not robust and tends to break after limited use. After a single trip all four sets I purchased are fine, and we intend to only use them when traveling. I will update this review if the headphones do end up breaking after a short time, despite limited and sporadic use.
