PRESS RELEASE
The Philips Fidelio NC1s have been designed to bring the enjoyment back to executive travel. Compact, fully foldable and lightweight, the NC1s use advanced noise cancelling technology, the highest quality components and exceptional noise isolation to guarantee superb sound quality - whether the ANC feature is on or off.
The initial design of the NC1 started with a modified version of the internal architecture of the multi-award winning Fidelio M1BT headphone. Extensive research was made into the ideal combination of memory cushion, cavity design, clamping force and manufacturing tolerance so that the NC1s could offer the convenience of a light-weight on-ear model but could still offer truly exceptional noise isolation.
Advanced hybrid ANC technology
The NC1 headphones are unusual in adopting a high-end, hybrid ANC approach with four microphones - two outside and two inside the enclosure. The two ‘FeedForward' microphones are positioned on the outside of the headphone and provide strong noise cancellation at critical lower frequencies, while the two ‘FeedBackward' microphones are positioned inside, next to the headphone drivers and extend the bandwidth of noise cancellation into the mid and high frequencies - including removing the hiss associated with cheaper or less effective ANC solutions.
Having detected the ambient sounds the NC1 adds a precise inverted copy of the noise signal, effectively canceling it out and converting background noise to silence.
Fit for the long-haul
The Philips Fidelio NC1 headphones are designed for discerning music lovers who don't compromise on sound or style, wherever they are.
The slim and compact profile of the NC1s is created from premium materials, including aluminum and fine leather.
The memory foam ear pads are designed to provide an ergonomic fit, great comfort and breathability - ensuring you can continue to enjoy the sound the headphones deliver, even over the long haul.
And with a battery that lasts for up to 30 hours, you can fly to the other side of the world before needing to recharge with the USB cable.

- 40mm high definition drivers
- Best-in-class noise cancellation
- Consistent high fidelity sound
