Phiaton PS 300 NC Premium Noise Cancelling Headphones With Studio Grade 40mm Titanium Drivers and Fold-N-Go Design Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These headphones look remarkably like the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 - the earpieces and the removable battery in particular are close to identical.

But performance-wise it is clear that they have completely different internal electronics.

First, the good news.Unlike the QC3, the PS300 will work even if the battery dies.

The PS300 is definitely much better value - they include two rechargeable batteries (a second QC3 battery will cost you an extra $50), they include a worldwide charger (this will add yet another $50 to the QC3 price) and they also include a USB charger (not offered at all with the QC3).

The PS300 also has a hinge where the earcup is attached to the headband, allowing them to fold into a much more compact space than the QC3, making it easier to travel with them.

Now for the not so good news.The main reason for buying noise cancelling headphones is, ummm, to cancel noise.The PS300 does a reasonably good job at this, but the QC3 (and the other Bose headphones and also the Sony MDR-NC500D) are much better at noise cancelling.The difference in noise reduction is immediately obvious.

Sound-wise, the PS300 also disappoints.Bass is muddy, mid-range is too prominent, and high notes, while very clear, can sometimes be strident.

So, what's the bottom line?Dollar wise, these are excellent value headphones, and when compared against the true full cost of a set of QC3s with optional accessories added, you're saving a lot of money with the PS300.But you're losing some noise cancelling and some sound quality.

So if you're seeking a high end 'best of breed' solution, these are not a good choice.But if you're seeking something better than the many sub-$100 headphones, while not wishing to spend as much as top of the line other products, maybe these are a good mid-range compromise.
