What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Headphone performs as you would expect for its price. Despite the sound quality not being jaw dropping it is undoubtedly in high tier of products in this price range.
The materials feel solid yet malleable so i'm not worried they're going to break. They look sleek and stylish and fold away into a cracking little case. The colour says black but it has a 2 tone colour effect, so don't freakout when you unbox yours.
The noise cancelling isn't the best ever but it works well enough. The microphone is apparently built in - so cleverly that i didn't think it had one.
Cons
There is a constant hiss whilst it is on, maybe this is normal, but it is very noticeable whilst listening. Each time it does anything the headphone mutes the music youre try to listen to to proudly tell you “volume maximum” “anc off” or a huge silenc... Read More
The ear cups were in fact quite comfortable, however, the headband is awful. Not for the lack of padding, it’s the sheer pressure that causes the issue. This is hard to explain but noticeable and annoying.
Touch controls are too sensitive and easy to nudge. One-tap switching between anc on/ off and a weird 'ambient sound' mode is far too easy to touch by mistake. Not intuitive at all, too many useless features.
Max volume without anc is flat and max with anc is crackly. Dolby atmos is not compatible with anc on these headphones.
Highlights
Quality
Build quality is good and looks quite nice.
Nice pair of headphone's,the sound and quality is great, just as good as sony or boose.
The headphones are comfortable and the audio quality good but the headband cushioning started to disintegrate after 6 months.
I bought the headphones looking for something affordable but that had a minimum quality.
Price
I was initially looking at the new bose or sony ones but glad i went with the philips as the price is a third of the big boys.
Overall a good for how much they cost.
Competitiveness
It preforms as you expect headphone of such price to do, and excedes its competitors.
Despite the sound quality not being jaw dropping compared to competition, it is undoubtedly in high tier of products in this price range.
