Digital camera reviews of Philips HL150 Lightweight Stereo Headphones
Digital camera Review: Good product.
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound quality is very good.It's very comfortable to wear it.Sometimes when I take it off and leave it around my neck,my hair gets stuck by the folded part,but it depends how long the back of your hair is.It's still a good product.Digital camera Review: Good sound: bad durability
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd agree that these have good sound, and an alright price.
But, these headphones just arn't as durable as they say. The wire on my right side is giving out, and so every now and then sound doesn't come from that side if I move the wire slightly. I don't think a connection was made very securely. At the moment sound is even going out.
Don't bother with these. I've had them for less than a year, and their lack of durability makes these headphones worthless. You're better off with those ones headphones they used to hand out in airplanes [the ones with the metal, not plastic plug).
Digital camera Review: Good, Light Weight, Portable and Inexpensive
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a pair of foldable headphones, which are inexpensive and portable. I researched a bit and finally settled for these headphones. I did read in various reviews that the right side speakers malfunctions after moderate usage and the color becomes brownish etc.
It's been only 20 minutes since I started using these new headphones. I am a big fan of Trance and on iTunes, the bass is awesome. Just as much I like it. Padding is quite comfy. So for so good. I will update my review after a bit of usage. Somebody also bought these for an iPod, I am not sure if 3.5mm stereo plug will fit the iPod.
Also, this is not a military(or military style) headphones which is supposed to withstand extreme conditions. So I would handle these headphones in a delicate way, without putting them through tough conditions. I will be happy if these last a year.
I find the swiveling speakers very comfortable to ears. I have used similar Phillips headphones before and the swiveling is one of the feature, why I bought Phillips again. Also, when we unfold it the hinge on the both sides lock up, so that headphones wouldn't suddenly collapse.
Wires appear to have not-so-durable PVC insulation. However, I am gonna use these for sometime and see how they turn out to be.
So far, happy with their performance.
Digital camera Review: Great Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I had pair of these headphones before and I wanted another pair. These headphones have a deep sound and I enjoy them very much.Digital camera Review: Great headphones for their price.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Good: Great sound (for their price), very portable, good all-around basic headphones
The Bad: They seem somewhat flimsy, weak bass
I got these headphones to go with my laptop and iPod last summer (2008), and they served me well until I upgraded to Sennheiser HD-555s. I still use them with my iPod, for which they are perfectly suited if you are like me and don't like earbuds.
That said, these are great headphones for their price. Sound quality is pretty good, though the bass seems a bit weak. Other reviews compliment the bass, though, and I don't have much to compare them with, so don't just take my word for it.
The folding design lets them fit in a coat pocket or backpack (I wouldn't recommend putting them in a pants pocket), very handy for use with an iPod as they can be stored as easily as earbuds between uses. They're pretty comfortable and decent for home use, though I worry about them falling off if I tilt my head too much.
The drawback to their folding design, though, is that they feel pretty flimsy. If they come apart at the folding joints (which has happened to me a few times), putting them back together can be tricky due to their tiny screws.
Overall, though, they're nice cheap headphones for use at home or with an iPod for those who don't want to spend too much.
