Philips stereo over-ear headphones SHP1900/10 Hi-Fi headphones with cable (adjustable headband, large earpieces, lightweight design, 2-m cable) black

I use these for listening to music at work. It doesn't entirely block sound out (well unless it's full volume), but it's just the job well enough, so that i can listening to music whilst I get on with work in an environment that can get a little loud at times (open plan office). Long wire. Doesn't completely cup my ears - as in I don't feel like they're 'sealed' in, but still very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. My colleague who usually wear plug-in earphones used them and said he felt like he was in a club! So that can't be all bad right? Bought them for £10. Overall, if you're looking for a set of earphones that blocks out sounds (like an open floor plan), and good quality music, but on a budget, I highly recommend these! UPDATE Nov 2012: Almost a year later and they're still working just fine! Just the wire gets a bit twisted. UPDATE May 2013: Still going strong and have decided to up it to 5 out of 5 stars - it's a good price and I listened through some other headphones the other day which were awful and tinny - made me appreciate these so much more. Would buy again.

Nice and light weight, fit over ears well and the sound is decent. They adjust pretty well too, I have had difficulty with crash helmets because my head size is big, these fit well. I use them for my TV at night, I sleep later than my wife, she thinks they're ace! For the price, I think a pretty good buy. Happy.

i bought these so i can watch movies at night without having to have the volume so low that i can barely hear the film. i must say these are excellent headphones, the sound quality is great and they are nice and light. i also like the fact that the cable to the second headphone is hidden inside the headband as this means you only have the one cable coming from the left earphone. great value for the price.

Although it looks the exact same pn photo as the older Philips headphones known about their comfort, it is not the same. The construction of it definitely looks and feels much cheaper than those older models and the sound quality isn't as good either. Overall, it is not a bad pair of headphones, but I expected better (and probably others do too, based on how similar it looks to the older models).

Although this ones sound a bit worse than my old Senheisers, they are far more comfortable, you can be easily 8+ hours without any problem, they are very light weighted and the bass sounds are pretty decent. The only reason I stopped using them is because the old ones' cable broke, definitely worth:)

Look very bulky on your ears, but I didn't expect them to be that light and comfortable (my ear is completely covered). The sound quality is good for this money value. Don't expect that bulky construction to block the outside noise, because it won't do that. I also found in the box a 6.5mm to 3.5mm adapter plugin jack, I didn't expect that. :)

It's a bit bulky and first I didn't use it out side but it's light and after a few hours it will sound better, I use it with my cowon iaudio mp3 player and with it's headphone Eq. setup sounds good, has a good bass and I like the way that is sound for individual instruments. I am quite happy with it and I compared it with different headphones in a shop and it sounds better than most of really much more expenssive headphones better than 50,60 70 pounds one the only ones that are really better than this was Beats and also boss. Buy it and enjoy.

Excellent value for money, comfortable to wear and excellent sound quality

Muy padre diadema. Era lo que buscaba!

Increibles cascos. Ni Seinnheiser, ni Superlux ni historias. Estos cascos son impresionantes en todos los aspectos, precio 10€ y calidad de sonido, son grandes y comodos, te cojen toda la oreja no como otros que te lo dejan a la mitad, sinceramente creo que suena mejor que cascos de 50 euros en adelante. Resumiendo, son de esas cosas que no suelen ocurrir mucho a menudo como que unos cascos de 10 euros realmente parezcan de 60. De hecho yo los compre a 9,90 y ahora están a 10,90 al momento de escribir esto, y esque cuando a unos les bajan el precio para venderlos cuanto antes a este parece que se lo suben por que se vende solo.

When it comes to headphones there are a lot of choices Beats Audio, Skull Candy, and more, however when you are on a budget and looking for quality without having to shell out a lot of money these headphones are for you. At my son's elementry school one of the items on the back to school shopping list is a pair of headphones. Every few months it never fails that he comes home from school complaining that his headphones no longer work. Most of the time is the issue was from the speaker wires inside the ear piece detaching most likely from bumping around in his backpack. Since he has started school we have not had to deal with him coming home with broken headphones nor have we had to deal with his complaints of them being hard to hear out of as that was another issue with other lower cost headphones. These headphones have a solid sound to them. You could never compare them to say Beats Audio but for the money you are going to get a quality pair of headphones that are very durable. Pros: Low cost Good quality sound Fast Shipping Excellent brand Fits my 8 year old very comfortably Cons: Not sound proof (was not an issue for our needs)

Ci sono cuffie molto più costose che non conosco, ma per quello che conosco posso scrivere questo: queste cuffie le trovo leggere, con un ottimo sound, al meno per quello che serve a me. Desidero un suono che sia il più fedele possibile. Ma in questo periodo anche un costo accessibile. E non so se là fuori ci sia qualcosa di meglio, ma queste cuffie le ho trovate decisamente perfette per questo. È il secondo paio che acquisto, il primo l'ho fuso appoggiandolo su una lampada alogena... Difetti: la plastica degli auricolari dopo qualche mese (meno di un anno) inizia a staccarsi, è solo un fattore estetico, la cuffia rimane comodo e non altera le prestazioni. Almeno nel tempo che ho osservato io, circa un annetto (della precedente cuffia...). Il cavo è sottile, c'è chi dice che col tempo può rompersi, a me nel periodo in cui l'ho usata non si è rotto, ma sembra facile anche sostituirlo, per chi ha un po' di dimestichezza. A quel punto diventano (quasi) indistruttibili... a parte la plastica degli auricolari... Ultimo appunto ho provato altre cuffie sui 50euro o poco più... e onestamente comprerei serenamente queste al loro posto. Magari su cuffie di maggior pregio c'è più differenza, ma non ne ho provate. Chiaramente son cuffie con cavo... niente bluetooth or robe fighe da gamers... :D Bottomline: grazie Philips! :)

Ich benutze diesen Kopfhörer inzwischen seit geschätzt 10 Jahren, das erste Exemplar war am Ohrenpolster bröckelig geworden, aber ich wollte unbedingt dieses Modell wiederhaben. Aus meiner Sicht perfekt geeignet, um abends im Bett auf dem Tablet noch einen Film zu gucken, in der Bahn am Notebook zu arbeiten oder im Flugzeug das Bordprogramm zu verfolgen. Der Kopfhörer schirmt gut ab, weder stört die Umgebung mich, noch ich die Umgebung, aber die Abschottung ist nicht so extrem, dass ich nichts von Ansagen mitbekomme. Der Kopfhörer ist sehr leicht und gut einzustellen, die Ohrmuscheln sitzen fest ohne zu drücken, die Polsterung ist angenehm. Das ganze ist kinderleicht und intuitiv zu verstellen, bleibt aber dann auch in der Position. Die Länge des Kabels von 2 m ist für die Couch meist noch ausreichend und in Bett und Bahn noch handhabbar. Und es gibt keinen überflüssigen Schnickschnack, der kaputt gehen könnte. Bis auf den spröde werdenden Bezug der Ohrpolster gab es bei mir keinen Verschleiß. Leider kostet das Nachkaufen so viel wie ein kompletter Kopfhörer - inzwischen habe ich aber entdeckt, dass man die Polster mit etwas Mühe abziehen, umstülpen und wieder draufmachen kann. Zwar ist die Posterung dann nicht mehr ganz so angenehm und es rieseln die schwarzen Krümel weiterhin, aber nicht mehr direkt auf die Haut und ich kann so den alten als Ersatz behalten. Und nun kommt die Frage: Und der Klang? OK, man hört nicht, ob der Chorsänger in der dritten Reihe Reval mit oder ohne Filter geraucht hat, aber für die beschriebenen Zwecke und meine Ansprüche finde ich den Klang sehr gut, kein Vergleich zu den kleinen Dingern mit Bluetooth, die man sich ins Ohr friemeln muss. Satter Klang, wuchtige Bässe, für mich kein Klirren hörbar und ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt, wie gut die räumliche Darstellung gerade bei Filmszenen ist - ich habe schon häufig den Kopfhörer abgerissen, weil ich dachte, im Wohnzimmer hinter mir geht eine Tür auf oder das Telefon klingelt. Selbst wenn ich alleine bin, sehe ich Filme lieber mit Kopfhörer auf dem Tablet, der Klang ist um Klassen besser. Und die Musik, die ich höre (Rock, Pop, Liedermacher, etwas Klassik) hört sich einfach "richtig" an, so wie ich sie in Erinnerung habe, nicht zu dünn, nicht zu dumpf, nicht zu schrill. Und alle diese Vorteile für gut 10 Euro finde ich einfach begeisternd - wenn ein Produkt 5 Sterne verdient hat, dann dieses!
