Philips Citiscape Metro Headphones (Black)

 

The Philips Metro headphones are the company's entry-level model in the sartorial Citiscape line. Priced appropriately for their build and sound quality at $49.99, their Euro-inspired looks are contemporary and clean with availability in black, white,...

The Philips Citiscape Metro on-ear headphones exhibit a sleek, Euro design with a warm balance of sound.

The headphones are missing smartphone-friendly features like a foldable headband, an inline mic, and volume controls.

The Citiscape Metro on-ear headphones have a great sense of style for a budget-priced headphone, but the sound lacks clarity.

200 sound in a $30 package

 

I've purchased many headphones from Beatz to Gummies, and I have to say, the sound of these far surpasses the sound of Beatz Solo. I purchased these while away from home strictly for the technical specs. and I am blown away! Don't get me wrong. The...

Wonderful music on wonderful headphones, for a wonderful price...

 

I have tried a lot of different headphones over the years.. My parents met in jr high in chorus. My mother went on to study opera. I am not musically challenged by any means. These kick skull candy ass and bose isn't that much better. For $50.00 they...
