Philips SHP2500 Headphones

First, the conclusion: I highly recommend the SHP 2500s for the uncritical TV listening for which they were intended. They're robustly built even if they don't hide their budget origins and the closed design stops sound from escaping and disturbing others which is nice. Their sonic deficiencies will not be noticed by most and will appeal to many and any flaws have to be seen in the context of an item that cost less than two packets of cigarettes. ...
...Listening to TV is what it says on the box (there's even a picture of somebody using them specially for the hard of thinking) and all the evidence points to them being specifically designed for this. There's a very long (6m) cable with adapters for the common jack sizes, a volume control so you don't have to reach for the remote when the ads come on and they're a bit too chunky for portable use.

Review of Philips SHP2500 Headphones

I had intended on buying a set of wireless headphones as I thought they would be better, untill I saw these, with a 6m lead it was long enough for what I needed.

...my room and still listen to my music but the thing I enjoy doing most now is lying in bed watching a dvd and not disturbing the rest of the house late at night. You are able to extend the headband(is that what its called?) to fit you head, although mine fit without extending it and I'm an average 19year old male, also a few inches down from the headphones is a volume control which is I find useful. I think they block out surrounding noise reasonably ...

...am able to hear the bass sounds clearly as it is made to close in upon your ears to deliever a powerful bass response. Also, i can hear the high eq sounds very clearly too. These are very good headphones for producing music if you are short of money to buy monitor speakers. It's also good to listen to music with. When I bought these headphones in Ireland, I used these headphones to listen to some drum 'n' bass on my iPod. When I listened to the ...
