    That Christmas morning joy of breaking into the box is all here and interestingly, once you are inside the package the message reads "Only feel the music". Unfortunately, we could feel every footstep, every cough, every chew of the apple. Well constructed with a feeling of quality about them, you get great sound from the Philips SHE9850, certainly much better than those standard white headphones that you see everywhere. Despite the minor irritation of the outside noise,... Read more

    For close to a year Shure has pretty much dominated the market when it comes to in-ear headphones. From the low-priced SE110's and SE210's , through the SE310's and brilliant dual driver SE420's , to the top-of-the-range triple driver E500PTH's (now available as the SE530s) whatever your budget, Shure has an earphone to suit it. And, more importantly, it was almost universally accepted that the Shure option was the one to go for. Read more

    Truly, Philips has produced an excellent pair of earphones here, and as they can be snagged from certain Web stores for less than their RRP, they're nothing short of a steal. If you want deep, ultra-low bass for dance music, check out Denon's AH-C551 s and Sennheiser's CX 95s. If that sparkling treble and brightness is your poison, consult Etymotic's ER-6i s. But for almost all types of music, the SHE9850s get a thumbs up from us. Edited by Shannon Doubleday Read more

    These stylish earbuds sound good and are very customizable. Their price tag should indicate better sound though. Read more

    First pair of in-ear phones I've used. They took a bit of getting used to, but if you can ignore the noise caused by the cables rubbing against clothing, the sound quality is great. The sound level is also much higher at lower volume settings than my previous phones and the background noise levels are much lower as well. Read more

    After much internet research and having read many glowing reviews of these earbuds I decided to purchase them. Much to my disappointment they are just average. I cannot believe all the people on Amazon that thought these actually sounded good. My main complaint is that the mid's get lost in the muddy bass and the ultra high high's the only way that these earbuds are even bearable is by using a custom equalizer to bring out some of the mid's. I would NEVER recommend these... Read more
