Composite pulses --- sequences of pulses with well defined relative phases --- are an efficient, robust and flexible technique for coherent control of quantum systems. Composite sequences can compensate a variety of experimental errors in the driving field (e.g. in the pulse amplitude, duration, detuning, chirp, etc.) or in the quantum system and its environment (e.g. inhomogeneous broadening, stray electric or magnetic fields, unwanted couplings, etc.). The control parameters are the relative phases between the constituent pulses in the composite sequence, an accurate control over which is required in all composite sequences reported hitherto. In this paper, we introduce two types of composite pulse sequences which, in addition to error compensation in the basic experimental parameters, compensate systematic errors in the composite phases. In the first type of such composite sequences, which compensate pulse area errors, relative phase errors of up to 10% can be tolerated with reasonably short sequences while maintaining the fidelity above the 99.99% quantum computing benchmark. In the second type of composite sequences, which compensate pulse area and detuning errors, relative phase errors of up to 5% can be compensated.
