Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good Headphones for the money.

 

Ok sound, about what you'd expect in this price range. I have a set of other brand bluetooth headphones about the same price range and the sound is similar.

Bluetooth worked well for me, (connected to my cell phone, tablet, and desktop computer with no problems) it had a range of about 15 feet. Ok sound, but not very bright highs or deep lows. Comfortable for me. Battery seems to last quite a while.

Makes terrible sound when you either get out of range or reach the limit of the volume setting. The on the ear parts are angled to the head so they will fit one way but you can't switch it around the other way. Instructions could be better.

Excellent Choice When on Sale

 

Some reviews state interference issues, I run these in a warehouse with wireless printers and computers with active bluetooth connections and at least half a dozen people using multiple bluetooth devices including speakers, headsets, and scanners. No...

1) Decent size 2) Easy to set up and connect to devices 3) Decent range of sound 4) Volume control independent of device's 5) Very long battery life, I sit at a desk and it lasted a whole 8 hour shift. 6) Connects to both PC and USB plugs alike. 7)...

1) Headband does not have a cushion on top, so this may be uncomfortable for some 2) The device has a twist in the headband to the way it fits, so it is snug up against the ears, not tight. But this may not fit larger heads very well. 3) Uses cheaper...

Great phones for the price

 

For the price if you can do with the above limitation they are a good buy.

Easily connects to Bluetooth, smartphone or PC. Sound great. Light.

Bluetooth interference from other Bluetooth devices in the PC, cuts out/breaks the sound. Can not be used if other Bluetooth devices are used with the PC, for instance a Bluetooth mouse will render the sound over Bluetooth of these Philips headphones...

good for the price

 

I just needed a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones to wear while I watch Netflix on my iPad while doing dishes. These sufficed, but I would NOT pay over $15 for them. Point blank

Comfortable (for me, I have a large head. They have a snug fit) For the price, good sound quality Includes a mic (haven't had any problems with that) Micro usb charging

Take these next few points with a grain of salt. Granted I got these on sale for $12: Sound is decent (for the price) Cheap plastic buttons feel cheap Not too wide of a range of head adjustments

Flimsy headband

 

- If there are other options out there for headphones, go ahead and buy those. I would not recommend these. - I would definitely make the fit more comfortable if I were Philips and if need be, charge more for it - It came in a fancy packaging. They...

Connects quickly to the phone. Good phone quality.

The plastic headband is very flimsy and I am positive I am going to break it in a couple of weeks. The earpads do not swivel and presses tight against the ear. I received it today and tried it on and promptly got a headache from the tight fit.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Quite satisfied.

 

There is a problem hooked up to my PC with the sound cutting out when the mouse(BT Microsoft Sculpt) is moved. When hooked up to my phone and the mouse is moved in range of the headphones, there is no cutout, so I would bet the issue is a sharing issue...

- Lightweight - Good Sound

- usb cable supplied was for 'charging only'. So in to the trash before I accidently hook up something for data transfer with em and get annoyed trying to figure out why I didn't have the device show up.

Price/Performance makes this a near-steal

 

I bought these probably for around $30 and was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality - it's not high end sound nirvana, but I liked listening to music on them, and the 'on the ear' position gives it a more realistic sound than speakers that go...

Light weight, long battery life, respectable sound quality, comfortable, price

Position shifts if you're moving/active, small buttons, call answering not intuitive nor easy
