Philips SHS420 headphones Review and Prices

 

Earbuds have become pretty standard fare, with one pair looking like just about any other. However, Philips bucks the trend with its SHS420 earbuds, which employ a unique and comfortable way of securing the buds to the ears.

Philips - SHS390 Neckband Headphones ”

 

I love to listen to my music and needed a set of headphones. I do not like the earbud style. They will not stay in my ears and actually hurt. I have also tried the earhook style, but found them uncomfortable. I found the Philips neckband style at...

Bad sound quality

 

Bad sound quality

I must have had a bad pair. The one that I ordered sounded terrible. No bass what so ever. No instructions on how to put these on so I tried every which way, but still no go. I considered returning it but since it only cost $13 to buy, I wouldn't...

Just Right!

 

Just Right!

I've had a pair of these earphones for a few years and I love them. First off, sound quality. Who cares. If I'm listening to the radio, it sounds like a radio and if I'm listening to my ipod it sounds like music! What more do you want, they're six...

Great for Cycling/Sport

 

Great for Cycling/Sport

I wear these when I go cycling - the loop over the ear is a must for keeping the earbuds in the ear. The sound is great - but the other reviewer had a point about the buds needing to be in your ear to have good bass. This actually is a plus for me -...
