Philips SHP2000 Fullsize Over-Ear Headphones

Reviews

"Good Value for Money" by Switch - 24 July 2015

The headphones exceed what is expected for a sub R200 pair of Over-the-ear Headphones. Used them for a few weeks now without any issues. I bought them as headphones for work (as I have proper head headphones for gaming at home). Build Quality and Feel - Overall build quality is "good" , Solid plastic that should not break . As expected the finish of the plastic is not great , with clear mould lines and a plastic feel. The headband is a simple solid plastic band with simple sliders to widen the headphones. The Foam on the cups is slightly hard but have a with a soft finishing material . They tend to mould to your head if you wear them for a while , making them more comfortable. Note that these are pretty big headphones with full over-the-ear cups (gaming headset size). The cable is rather "solid" , being sleeved in a hard plastic (like the headphones from a while back). Overall comfort is ok , I feel they get a bit uncomfortable after and hour or so. Sound Quality - As they say on the box , These headphones have enhanced bass . Other then that I find them rather average - Ok on high frequencies , Good on bass . Overall quality seems sufficient for listening to music or watching videos. The cups are closed (no holes through to the drivers from the back) So the reduce background noise rather well. Please note they do not have a volume controller - but do go loud enough . Pros - Value , Over-the-ear , cable + jack should not break , solid feel . Cons - No extra padding on headband etc , Cable is hard and inflexible , Headphone cups are a bit hard , No volume controller. Conclusion - For the price , you get more then you would expect. But if you are looking for a cheap version of good headphones - these are not for you. Rather spend the money on a proper expensive pair of headphones. Good sound and bass . Relatively comfortable for what they are. At the end of the day, They cost the same as a meal at a restaurant , so what can really be wrong. Kind regards - Switch

"I have just ordered my second set" by Ishmael R. - 24 January 2018

I owned one until I wasted them after a year and a half, For R200 I couldn't imagine better sound quality- stereo... good enough for the Samsung Virtual Reality Headset as well for mimicing 3D surround soud(almost)

The ear pads are very soft to the point you can forget you’re wearing headphones at all. Sound quality is good, but these are all about the bass at the expense of the low and mid ranges. Build quality is solid, and these should last a long time. For the price, these are really good value.
