Philips SHE-9850 In-Ear Headphones review

The Philips SHE-9850 offer solid sound quality, a sleek design, a comfortable fit, and handy extras.

The Philips SHE-9850's bass response is mushy at times.

The Philips SHE-9850 In-Ear Headphones are an excellent choice for style-conscious listeners who demand comfort and detailed audio response.

Now, the company is stepping up its game with the SHE-9850 In-Ear Headphones, a $100 pair with a sleek and comfy design and good audio quality. Philips has a reputation for sleek design and it shows in the SHE-9850. Reviewed by: Jasmine...

Philips SHE9850 In-ear Headphones

By Tim Gideon

Despite the model name, Philips isn't marketing its SHE9850 In-Ear Headphones to women only. These comfortable $99.99 earphones certainly aren't bass-heavy, but they offer a reasonable amount of low-end presence. There's a bit of brightness missing ...

Affordable. Commendable low-end performance. Excellent fit.

Not the crispest treble response.

Philips's affordable SHE9850 earphones fit well and offer decent low-end response.

Despite the model name, Philips isn't marketing its SHE9850 In-Ear Headphones to women only. Philips designed the SHE9850 earphones to compete with products from Shure and Ultimate Ears—companies that are less about boosting the bass way up and...

Philips SHE9850 Review

By Nate Lanxon

Mid-range earphones

General sound quality ; warm tone ; great comfort ; good sound isolation ; snug and secure ; suitable for gym use

Lack of deep bass ; less inspiring treble performance

An excellent all-rounder, with good detail, a balanced, warm sound and superb comfort and fit. Deeper bass and brighter treble exists in competing models, but for almost all genres of music and in most listening environments, the SHE9850s will impress ...

It's easy to fail when you're making a media streamer. Many have tried to do it and almost all have come unstuck. Even Apple, masters of good design and intuitive user interfaces, fell at virtually the first hurdle with Apple TV. When we heard about...

Philips SHE9850 headphones

Time for a headphone upgrade?

That Christmas morning joy of breaking into the box is all here and interestingly, once you are inside the package the message reads "Only feel the music". Unfortunately, we could feel every footstep, every cough, every chew of the apple.

Philips SHE9850

By Andrew Kliem

THESE headphones could have punchier bass, but they do offer a smooth and well-balanced sound.

Clear sweet highs, great detail, wide soundstage

Bass a little uncontrolled, short cord

Philips' SHE9850 headphones are another strong entry into the mid-range IEM space. Their bass could be a little punchier and more controlled, but for the price they offer a clear, smooth and well-balanced sound.

The SHE9850 headphones are strong performers overall. It's hard for canal-phones to look too stylish, but Philips has done a pretty good job here with the black tips and gunmetal driver case contrasting nicely.

For this price, the SHE9850s are shouting in the same arena as Denon, Shure and Etymotic - manufacturers whose names are ubiquitous with high performance earphones. Truly, Philips has produced an excellent pair of earphones here, and as they can...
