Philips 29PT2252

Advantages: sparkling all round; bass rivals high specced floorstanders
Disadvantages: asymmetrical cable, the right ear bud cable being longer than the left one

...I needed to buy new earphones for my meizu m6 sl miniplayer, as its stock earphones cable eventually broke, and after just spending one day walking about in london without music, it highlighted how hooked I was on the awesome sound the player and earphones delivered, considering I was listening to stock earphones after all, the meizu earphones pt850. so, behind waterloo station there's a street market, and the urge to buy earphones was overwhelming me; fiddling with the player in my pocket and missing the surprisingly awesome earphones it came with, I went back to the owner of a stall, to whom I spoke the day before, to find out about the price for the black (yes, no white earphones cables for me, are you kidding me, rofl) philips she9500 (£15), all while he was still preparing the stall (about 8:10am on the way to the office) and asked...

Advantages: None - it's a worthless piece of junk.
Disadvantages: Television doesn't work, Manufacturer is completely uninterested in resolving problems.

Advantages: Plays DivX media
Disadvantages: Very Slow, doesn't record own brand media and NO customer support

...Please read the email below sent to Philips customer care as this explains most of the problems encountered with this product. Though I received a confirmation receipt informing me I would have a reply within 4 working days, it has now been 14 working days and still no response. And no, I am not going to ring their 090 number to speak to a customer service adviser as this is just another way of taking more money from the consumer. -------------------------------------------------------------- ----- SUBJECT "Recording issues when using Philips +RW Disc Media ("Update" message showing in LED Display)" - from your FAQ's. Dear Sir/Madam I'm absolutely shocked/gob-smacked:- how can a company of your magnitude and experience release an untested product onto the market? Brought this DVD Recorder as I have always trusted... Read review
