These or the Phillips noise cancelling ones in argos black Friday deal last week?

I suppose it depends on where your going to use them and what your listening to. Lots of people winged the other week that the sound cancelling didn't work as expected but I found them to be great walking the dog near a busy motorway, the noise cancellation took away the noise of the tyre hum quite effectively, you can certainly tell the difference when you switch it off, maybe less noticeable on loud music but for listening to books its great.

Definitely these - bought the Phillips ones last week and they were frankly rubbish. Noise Cancelling was useless and sound quality was tinny. I returned them after a couple of days!
I paid 35 quid but I'm afraid they've gone back up now, but Ive still got them in the packet and would take them back and swap if these are actually better. argos

well, Philips design looks better however I do trust Sony sound quality /Philips improved a lot recently/
i would keep yours but need to do a comparison before i would do that...

Half price? Complete rubbish. I paid just under £40 for these from Robery Dyas about 12 months ago. These are 'normally' between £50 - £60.
However, £39.99 for these is a good price and I was actually really impressed with the sound quality of these for the money.
Have some heat.

rrp is £70 on the official sony site. however you right. we always compare prices against deals when retailers compare to rrp…
I brought these yesterday to use in the gym, amazing sound quality for the price and they do stay on whilst jogging . Sound Doesn't come close to the monster clarity hd on ear that I brought from argos a couple of days ago but for the price these sony headphones make them a good buy

is a good deal, as the price even on amazon hasn't been lower, at least it was this price for a day in October.

Not bad. Just bought the 770s for £79.99 in John Lewis with the two year warranty - they're £99.95 instore but they price matched Currys for me.

Paid £60 at Saintsbury's some time ago (Double Up event). I'm using them with my phone. They have microphone built in. Absolutely fantastic. Long battery life. £39 it's very good price.

Design of this model is the only thing that puts me off :/
Why didn't they finish it with some matt color? No scratches or fingerprints :/
Picture found online on some russian (LoL) review, while I was looking for how the buttons look like in this model.

Nothing, just if these are much better for a fiver more, I'll return them and get the Sonys

Ah that's fair enough. Was going to say, I'm not an audiophile but I do know good sound quality from bad, and the Philips ones are pretty damn good. I seem to notice softer and almost 'hidden' layers in music tracks with the Philips ones that I didn't notice before through other speakers. That and the active noise cancelling is also pretty good, but like some said, not as good as the high end Bose ones, but I guess you get what you pay for. Over the moon for £35.

Tried countless bluetooth sets. These and the kitsound Manhattans are best for sound quality IMO. The Manhattans are less reliable, ive had 4 pairs break!!! I do use them ever day though. Stay from philips bloody awful.
Good headphone. Bought Philips last week and it was a crap with poor sound quality, returned them. Heat now added !

Hmmm, the Sony MDR-ZX330BT's for £39.99 or the Sony MDR-ZX770BN's for £79.99 (price match with Currys)?
Or drop £280 on some over-ear Bose QuietComforts...my only worry is that on-ear headphones will get uncomfortable after a while.
Decisions decisions.

There are some really good and cheap Bluetooth headphones available: I have sumvision ZX for £23 from Amazon, they are big, bass heavy, but very comfy and sound really good. Definitely exceeded my expectations...look at the Amazon reviews.
Also get a pair of the qcy qy8 which are between 8 and 12 pounds on aliexpress from qcy official, you may still have £11 change for a cheap bottle of aldi champagne.

Phillips SHB8750NC were the ones on sale on black Friday. They have very very good reviews. Plus techradar rates the Phillips better than these Sony ones.

The Philips that were sold on black friday were a slightly different model to the SHB8750NC model that is stated to have good reviews. Don't know if there are actually any difference

I got some then as well. 5% Quidco as well at the time.
Nice headphones with great sound. I find they get a little uncomfortable after about an hour but that might just be me.
