Take the foldable HN110 headphone with you on your travels and enjoy great music everywhere – even in noisy environments like buses, trains and airplanes. It’s a full-size headphone that covers your whole ear, yet it folds up for compact storage in the soft pouch supplied. The active noise canceling technology is easy adjusted using the controls that are conveniently integrated into the headphone shells.

As any frequent flyer knows, apart from industrial-strength knockout pills from a cooperative GP, noise-cancelling headphones are the best thing since eye masks and knitted slippers for the long-distance traveller. Not only do their noise-cancelling circuits make it far easier to hear movie soundtracks and music broadcasts but they also make it easier to drift off to sleep, by removing the intrusive drone of plane engines and air conditioning.

Of course, headphones of this type needn’t be restricted to use on long-haul flights, they can be just as handy on trains and buses or in any other noisy environment. The Philips SBC-HN110 headphones have been designed with just this idea in mind. They sport a retro-cool look, are lightweight, fold up to next to nothing and come with a handy, soft carry pouch. A 6.5mm adapter is also provided for hooking into home audio gear and a two-pronged aeroplane adapter is included as well. A single AAA battery provides the power for the noise-cancelling circuitry.

The Philips 960 includes an MP3 player. This phone comes with built in polyphonic ringtones, which means you can download simple MIDI files from the Internet and upload them through your phone, or simply download them via GRPS (if GRPS is built in). We do not recommend purchasing polyphonic ringtones from pay-per-use services such as television commercials, because the 960 is capable of receiving them as MIDI files which are common on the Internet.The Philips 960 does have a camera.

With its wide black bezel, silvery speakers, and semitransparent stand, the Philips 42PF9631D 42-inch plasma HDTV is a graceful and imposing presence. If you walk around the unit, you’ll find more to admire: well-chosen, easy-to-reach inputs and outputs; a lighted remote; and the unusual Ambilight backlighting panels. The most important part of any television, though, is the picture it presents on its screen, and the 42PF9631D more than holds its own on that score. And despite its good image quality and luxurious trimmings, the 42PF9631D sells for a list price of $2399–not cheap, but not the steepest we’ve seen in this size, either (and street prices are often lower than list prices).Our test jurors found the 42PF9631D’s performance pleasing on DVD and standard-definition content, but we particularly liked its high-definition TV performance for its nice balance. This Philips model also stood out in our bright lights test, in which it led the pack for retaining its color and contrast well under bright lights. We did not test this model with its Ambilight feature enabled.

This has exactly the same 1024 x 1080 plasma panel as the Hitachi 42PD9700. However, the resulting tellies are actually “like two totally unalike things in a pod,” as Blackadder once said.Philips has included its Pixel Plus 2 HD technology, as well as the eye-catching Ambilight system, and the immediate result is a TV that looks and feels more luxurious. The Ambilight bathes the wall behind the TV in a dynamic coat of colour, shifting to match the tones on screen. Meanwhile, Pixel Plus 2 HD enhances the image on the screen.Past versions of Pixel Plus have had their drawbacks, the most serious being their tendency to make the image look distractingly hyper-real, but this has now been banished. Slight ripples appear around rapidly moving objects - a caribou running from a wolf in Planet Earth, for instance - but that’s really about as far as criticisms go.Another feature that everyone should take note of, is the Ambilight technology that it supports. Ambilight mimics an ambient-backlighting feature usually seen only on high-end custom installations of televisions. Lighting panels on the back of the right and left sides change color and intensity along with the action on the screen, projecting the colored light onto the wall behind the TV. Ambilight has five settings for various moods, such as Action (for action-packed movies or games) and Relaxed (pleasant for nature shows and so forth). When you use this feature, the difference is really amazing. Philips touts research results that suggest Ambilight prevents eyestrain in darkened rooms.

Philips has a killer Media Center PC that is inspired by the Little Lluon from Korea. The new LX1000 Media Center PC comes with more than decent specifications in order to cater for all your home entertainment needs. An AMD Turion 64 1.8GHz processor runs the show with some help from a 120GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, an integrated analog/digital TV tuner, WiFi connectivity, and a dual-layer DVD writer. Graphical muscle is provided by NVIDIA’s GeForce 6600 GPU. The LX1000 will make a sleek addition to any home, looking sharp no matter where you place it. It’s extremely compact size, measuring just 195mm x 58mm x 212mm, dispels the notion that Media Center PCs are bulky and huge. Pick up the LX1000 today for £999.The Philips LX1000 also includes a hybrid TV tuner – for both analogue and Freeview – so you can watch television through it too. It also comes with other bits of software, such as the Cyberlink suite for playing and making DVDs (something Windows Media Center can’t do on its own).

The processor is an AMD Turion 64 ML-34 which runs at 1.8GHz. It has 1GB of memory, although 64MB of this is used by the graphics card, which is an Nvidia Geforce Go 6600. Both of these, eagle-eyed readers will have spotted, are designed for use in notebooks. That they’re featured here is a testament to how packed-in the LX1000 is.

Because it’s so small, a normal processor and graphics card would generate so much heat in the small case that it would probably melt. Hence the mobile technology, which uses less power and generates less heat. However, they are also less powerful in computing terms, so don’t expect the performance of a similarly priced desktop PC.

The audio produced by the SHN9500s is impressive. If you’re after a true audiophile noise cancelling experience, we’d recommend a pair of high-end IEMs (In Ear Monitors), but for those who prefer an over-the-head design and active noise cancelling, this model will not disappoint.

Bass is the most prominent element of the sound. It is incredibly powerful and actually manages to rumble the headphone cups a little, which is something we don’t often experience. The low note decays quite slowly which gives a dark sound. However, unlike many other bass heavy models, it isn’t too bloated. We still wouldn’t recommend the sound for styles like jazz or rock (which are better served with great treble and mid ranges), but hip hop and dance music listeners should appreciate it.

With premium headphones come a few bells and whistles that you don’t get on budget models (although admittedly there’s only a limited amount you can do with headphones). On these, you’ve got a mute button which will allow you to listen to things like train announcements (handy for finding out you’re on the wrong train) and oncoming lorries. There’s also an adaptor for the two prong airplane jacks and a carry case. A further adaptor means you can use them with things that have both a 3.5 or a 6.5 mm jack.

If the battery is dead or you don’t need the noise cancelling, the SHN9500 works as a perfectly normal headphone and actually sounds very decent. It’s also gratifyingly comfortable, with soft earpads that fit round all the ears we tried. But we’ve mixed feelings about the noise cancelling part of the equation.It does work reasonably well, but then it also boosts the level of the incoming signal, which obviously boosts one’s perception of its efficacy. And the built-in amplifier that performs said boosting is not of the greatest quality.On the other hand, in noisy environments that’s probably not so very crucial. The true audiophile desperate for music on the move will probably prefer Etymotic noise-blocking earphones, but this has its place.
