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

    • Very comfortable; good sound quality; nice carrying case; thick cord
    • Single driver design; lacks noise canceling features

    As long as you can switch the left and right channels back again to solve the huge design error made by Philips, the SHE9850s are great headphones for anybody who doesn't want their music dripping in bass. Read more

    • Comfortable, well-made, no manufacturing defects, Bass doesn't take over, Sound is even, but lacks a little detail
    • Left and right earphones are mixed up!, Bass fans should look elsewhere

  1. Excellent build and finish but too bright sounding

    These iem's are really well built and have a beautiful finish! They are dead easy to fit and get a good seal thanks to the excellent angled design. I really wanted to like and keep these but couldn't due to their over-bright sound signature. The sound of these iem's can best be described as bright and rather analytical. To me they are just too bright. There is clearly a peak at around 1.5-3kHz which can be seen on Philip's own Frequency response graph for these. Read more
