First, let me preface this with a disclaimer: I love reviewing headphones and Bluetooth accessories for Android devices. Â Were I not in this position, I would have no idea just how good (or bad) some of these products are that I pass in retail stores or see online. Â I’m amazed at all of the high quality stuff that comes through the office, and really get a tickle out of discovering new brands. Â Such is the case with Phiaton and their earphones. Â I recently reviewed a pair of their Bluetooth headphones that I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to cut a cord. Â That said, here’s a review for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones from the same company
You know that feeling of when your ears pop from an airplane and all of a sudden there’s a rushing of sound and everything else in the background just disappears? Â That’s the best way I can describe the noise cancellation of the Phiaton PS 20 NC headphones. Â It’s amazing stuff and something that might even take a little getting used to as it feels strange the first few times. Â It doesn’t hurt or do anything to your ear when it happens, but it simply isolates you from the world.
Phiaton’s “Half In Ear” design is quite comfortable and feels great , I suspect, to even those who don’t like to put things in their ears. Â As something that sits just inside the ear, the earphones are a quality build with a sound that rivals anything else I’ve tested. Â Thus far, everything I have seen out of the Korean manufacturer has been stylish, comfortable, and of high performance.
