Philips SHB5500BK/00 Wireless Bluetooth Headphone - Black

I've managed to pick up those 50% off and for that kind of money, I can assure you you won't get anything better than these.Build quality is consistent with most mid tier wireless headphones (maybe slightly on the plastic side after longer consideration). Headphones sound great. High and low tones are balanced really well and I haven't experienced any unwanted noises yet. Headphones play loud enough to phase out any sounds from the outside, even on a busy London streets. Mind you though when you go all the way up with the volume, people around you will definitely will hear what's playing.Battery lasts as advertised around 9h which considering relatively small package is quite enough to satisfy most.Padding on the earpieces is soft enough and even though it doesn't go all around ear I haven't noticed any discomfort even after long sessions.Built in microphone works fine and I've had no complaints from people listening on the other side of the line.Standard control buttons are big enough to quickly learn their position and respond with significant clicks.I'm very happy with this purchase even though I'm not a fan of over ear headphones.

Sold as seen, signed for on time delivery. Having read a few reviews I was glad I made the purchase. Fit: excellent, build quality: V good, sound: excellent connectivity: Excellent, ease of use/functionality: Excellent. A top unit and I would even go so far as to dispel other negative reviews ie volume is plenty as I have had gromits in both ears and I assure you they are loud enough; they don't fold, well no the headband doesn't but importantly the arms/speakers rotate and fold a full 360 degrees!! My brother has several high end gaming headsets (£80+) and was blown away!! Satisfaction guaranteed for the price point!!!

Comfortable, Good Sound, lightweight and simple to use. But I had a small problem with them; They present to a PC as two different Devices; "Headphones" - which is the A2DP connection for Music playback, which supports 44kHz 16bit CD Quality Audio, and then secondly as a Headset (different bluetooth profile, only supports 8000kHz "Telephone" quality Audio).You cannot use both devices concurrently, so if you want to use the microphone while using the headphones for playing back high quality audio, you cannot. In short, not useful as a gaming headset, but for Mobile phone use, or just listening to music on your PC without the Microphone, work very nicely indeed.

Delivered very efficiently by myhermes couriers .Item was well packaged .Straight out of the box and charged already , easy to set up .For the price these are really good and sound quality is good . The headset is a hood fit .The range is also good and can walk around my whole house and garden with no cut outs at all . I would recommend Philips Bluetooth headphones.

++ Good quality. Very good sound. Easy Bluetooth connection, with all devices (Laptop, iphone, Android device). Good support on the head.- - Bad microphone, not good looking design (not nice image on the head - space between the head and the product skeleton)

These are excellent headphones!!! They have a long range with the bluetooth, they don't break up, are great for taking calls, produce excellent sound. I read a lot of reviews and went for these and they're great, get a pair you won't be disappointed, plus they're extremely good value for money.I use mine mostly in the gym and they block out the rubbish music that gets played, are very comfortable and the battery lasts for ages and ages.

Next to no bass on this and I found the high-end to be tinny and create a hissy "tsssss" sound, regardless of whether I was listening to a soft or heavy song. There is a latency issue also which is very off-putting. I guess you get what you pay for.

It matches with my Mac just fine and generally it works okay. There are a few issues with it however. Sometimes the sound will cut in and out for no reason at all, like hiccups of silence. Another is that sometimes pure static will sound. Either after I've been watching something for a while or if I haven't been watching/listening to anything for a while and put on a video. This is usually solved by disconnecting and connecting again but it's rather frustrating.I tried to contact Philips via their website except it turns out that they don't have this model ON their web site (though there is one that looks similar) so I tried a request in any case and have heard nothing back.Will not be buying this again.
