Philips SHB5500BK Wireless Bluetooth Headphones (Black)

I'll keep it short.Sound quality is good. I have checked the sony MDR series too, I didnt find much of a difference between the two.The headset has disturbance issues whenever I come near a wifi device, even my home wifi router. I do not know whether this is a problem with all these headsets or my unit in particular. This also happens while travelling in the local train, and especially at particular stations. (I will post more on this once I identify what exactly causes the disturbance.) This can be irritating, and the headset looses its premium feel. Secondly, at a price point of more than 2k, this headset should IMHO get forward/backward buttons.The fitting has become loose in the last couple of months. The headset just falls off when you look upwards.

The product is great unless and until it stops workingBut a sad story after successfully delivering music for 14 months it stopped working.It's sad to see, my warranty just got over 2 months back.So guys if you want to shell out 3,000 for a year, then kindly go ahead.Otherwise, you might complain that one ear sound has gone into oblivion.

Bluetooth sound hasn’t always been my favourite and most wired headset will beat almost any wireless ones. I bought this for my cousin, as Phillips is a good brand it does give average quality. It is simple and straightforward design and quality is built to last. The music is ok and no hassle in connection with any Bluetooth devices. If you really care for good sound then I recommend you get a wired one but if you get annoyed with wire dangling about then this product aint that bad to consider. It’s cheap and also has the brand to back up its quality.

Had bought this production after using dell Corseca for 4 years without any issues ,Within 3 months there is no voice in the left speaker of the headphone ! Really disappointed had decent expectation with Philips

Philips Headphones sound and plastic quality is below average. I recommend to add little more money to buy good quality product. You can see the wire going to speaker from outside. Good point is very less weight and easy to connect.

I liked the headset very much,,good sound clarity, and easy to adjust the volumes.Not giving that 5th star only for the fact that it was little tricky to pair with my android phone.I tried it couple of times holding the button, and it didn't show up in the Bluetooth scan. Finally i got the technique after watching the headset unboxing video in youtube :)Totally a worth buy!!

I'm using it since 3 years ....no problem at all ....battery life still good .....trust me don't go for Sony ......sound quality is quite similar .....the only thing is hate about that is its aftersale service .... unfortunately it got fallen down nd side plastic got broken ,service centre refused repair it ......And white paint on philips branding is too cheap that it will get washed away within a year ...even after caring it well ....and the ear piece cover will get washed away in 2nd year .........

Worth as the brand name. It was my first headphone which was really above budget of Rs 2000/-. Absolutely loved it. Though I do not use it for the longer duration, it gives me comfortable listening for at least 2 hours, thereafter, it created little bit scratchy feeling. Would have given five stars if they came up with dual function - bluetooth as well as wired.Pros1. Vocals lovers - go for it2. Really comfortable for low-high sound level3. It works good for both music and movie4. Battery life - my experience 10 hours when fully charged5. Once connected to mobile, it does not create any problems from next time to connect6. Button controls works absolutely fine7. Fair enough bluetooth range (With hurdles it gives 20-25 ft range)Cons1. It has not too good bass. So high bass lovers dont go for it.2. Not ideal for long duration users3. Feels Awkward for first few days because of its shape4. Not foldable (Only side flips available)

Bought two pairs for daughters but one of them preferred to have cabled headphones. Rather than turn them i kept pair for myself as they seemed quite good. Have enjoyed listening to music washing cars and mowing lawns without disturbing neighbours. Would have given 5* but the head band doesn't sit very neat at sides of head. Some more expensive items appear neater.If the fail on me that's the only reason I'd get a different pair as they've done what I hoped.

I paid £22 for these in the Black Friday event and for that price they're great.They're very light and comfortable with minimal leakage. The sound quality is okay, but not outstanding as they seem to lack some treble, however in reality you'll probably never notice it and it'll be more than paid back in terms of convenience. I'd buy them again if I was looking for another pair of bluetooth headphones.

I needed a set of wireless/bluetooth headphones which I could carry in my hand luggage without being unnecessarily bulky. Thes 'phones fulfil that requirement. The comfortable ear pieces rotate and sit flat, meaning that the item is no more than a couple of centimetres deep when they are stored in my case. Bluetooth connection is great and, as yet, I have yet to exhaust a single USB charge when in use, even on a trans-atlantic flight.

These headphones are incredibly flimsy and broke within a month under light usage. They are also not particularly comfortable or easy to wear as the ear pads flip around too easily, meaning you need to hold them the right way around to put them on. I have previously owned the more expensive philips set, and they were excellent, so maybe just spend the extra money and get what you pay for.

My headphones work great on some streaming sites such as SoundCloud and not so great on others. They have a tendency to cut off frequently on some sites, which is annoying. Guess you get what you pay for, also couldn't pair it with my stereo system even though it is meant to be compatible. So all in all, I found this an average product.
