Last Sunday, I went out to have my hair cut, afterwards I went to a music store and finally bought myself a new headphone. It wasn’t planned really as I just meant to look around, until I stumbled upon this Philips SHP2700, and for few moments I did the silly thing: grab the box, put it back on the shelves, grab it again, put it back again, and so forth. I finally decided to give it a try (as they allow this) on their music player. After testing and considering that I don’t have any decent headphones or speakers, I guess it’s OK for me to spend some cash on this.
I am not an audiophile myself but I do have musically trained ears :) and with a few EQ tweaks, so far I think the headphone is really up for its value: decent sound – not too expensive – comfortable (with a decent and soft cushioning) – 3 metres cable – 3 way adjustability – and outside sound isolation is fair. Few downsides are: though the cushioning is comfortable I would prefer faux leather on it – the body is in plastic, fragile and makes a little noise – chrome plated connector instead of gold and the cable should be thinner and lighter.
Above all, I think money is well spent on this.
