Philips SHN2500 Noise Canceling Discontinued Manufacturer Review

I bought them because I work in an office where more than 20 women and other people pass by all the time. People are very loud, talking and chatting while I have a deadline and try to get my work done. Distracting to say the least. These headphones are amazing.

Wow, I'm amazed at the number of bad reviews for the Philips SHN2500 noise canceling headphones. Not sure what people expect for the price but I was very happy with the quality of the product.

Okay so I bought this product - I'm always looking for good headphones that aren't expensive either. In the past I've seen some great in-ear headphones sell for amazing prices in a very short space of time. I always hope I can buy it when that happens.
