Philips Wireless Neckband Headphones PN505 with Active Noise Canceling, Voice Assistance, Up to 14hours Play time, Hi-Res Audio (TAPN505BK), Black

Works as expected ,Comfort with great battery life and they fit nice, as of the quality is ok for its price.In audio perspective you listen well but the person on the other side misses a few highs but its ok since they can understand you and the noise cancelation is good.

Product advertised has a nine hour battery life. Mine lasted under three hours.Then it wouldn't charge at all and was just dead. That said, I liked the features and the sound was really quite good. So I exchanged it for another one.That didn't work out.New one arrived, I charged it up and same thing - it crapped out in under three hours. The last thing "it" said was "line in". Which I believe meant it no longer worked as Bluetooth and could only work as a hard line in. (Which is a really nice feature in itself.)So now I've tried this Phillips product twice and both where bad. I can only believe they got a bad batch from their manufacturer.Shame, I really liked the product and wanted it to work.

(+)- Simple sound signature, not overly bassy- Long battery life (excellent standby time, I haven't ever run out of power (lowest 40% after 2 days)- Great ANC for droning sounds e.g., vacuum, bus engines, crowds of people- Magnets!- Turns itself off after a while when no music is playing(-)- Doesn't operate well in the cold- "Line in" (the physical mini-3.5mm port triggers randomly when bluetooth is on and no line is in and stops audio playback- Line when plugged in doesn't sit very comfortably- Poor ANC for 'point sounds' e.g., individual voices- Very poor ambient sound mode- Surprisingly large neckband and (shorter cables than expected)- Cable connection points feels like they're weak-points- Old (micro) usb connector (not type-c)- Magnets don't trigger play/pause

UPDATEAs shown in my original review, I had a good opinion of the PN505. Regrettably, the Active Noise Cancelling stopped working. I am mad and feel cheated. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM !!ORIGINAL REVIEWThis is the second unit I purchased. I bought the first one about two years and have performed like a charm. I initially purchased it to use while mowing the lawn. I needed neckband earphones with good active noise cancelling (ANC) so that they do not fall to the ground while riding the lawnmower. To my surprise, it came with a sound cable that I use it all the time while traveling abroad.After reading the reviews I was very surprised to hear that some consumers had battery life problems. I haven't had any problems with my unit. I was concerned about buying another unit in light of these complaints. At the end, not being able to find a comparable alternative with wired/wireless capabilities, I decide to buy another PN505.The first thing I did when I received the unit was to fully charge it and used it--listening music with ANC on--until the power level LED started blinking. It took eleven hours, not the twelve hours mentioned by the manufacturer but nevertheless pretty good...!Overall, the PN505 is a bargain. I also have Bose in ear headphones ... The ANC is pretty good though a bit below the quality of ANC in my Bose unit. Similarly, the Bose's battery last longer than the PN505's. However, based on my experience, considering that the Bose unit costs 3-4 times more than the PN505 it is easy to conclude that the PN505 is a good choice.

Loved everything about these headphones until the ear buds stopped working. I enjoyed them for about 4 months of normal, regular use (never dropped them) when the left ear bud stopped working. 2 moths later the right ear bud started to malfunction.Philip’s customer service site was difficult to navigate and I was unable to contact anyone for a solution. I expected more from a big name brand.Save your money for something else.

It's a love hate relationship. I only use them for Audiobooks but they work wonders in allowing me to hear my book while operating a tractor or mower. On the other hand, it only has two push buttons for controls. Getting it turned on or off seems to take a special code. More than once I've come back to find them still on after I thought I had successfully turned them off.

Great product. Sound was excellent. No problems pairing to Bluetooth.

I liked almost everything about this product. It had wonderful sound quality, and the noise cancellation feature was the best feature. I used it inside my helmet when riding my motorcycles and it greatly eliminated wind and road noise. The first set I bought lasted approximately nine months. I like them so much that I purchased them again. This time they lasted about five months. On both occasions, they simply refused to charge. I took care of both sets, did not drop or abuse them or get them wet or damp. I can only conclude that the build quality is faulty. Too bad that an otherwise decent product is ruined by lack of reliability.
