Philips SHP2500

Philips is a name that I have usually trusted purchases with if I am buying a man's shaver, computer peripherals or at best small household appliances. Already I've been impressed this year with the basics of a Philips digital clock "analogue radio," so time will tell! But in all the years of being a professional musician, doing session work from time to time with the BBC, recording sessions with EMI and the odd engineering sessions with mixing desks and prolific engineers, I have never really seen Philips headphones amongst the cheaper Panasonic, JVC and Sony products. As well as my own use, the use of big cup style headphones have always ...  Read the complete review

The Philips SHP2500 was given to me last christmas to go with my powerful hi-fi. The super long 6m cord allows you to wander freely around your room or even go over to the bathroom to use the toilet! (I have been successful in doing this) These headphones are great for plugging into your TV or hi-fi. The very good thing about these headphones is that if you want to listen through one ear, you simply just swivel the earpad around. The adjustable headband on them is suitable for big-headed and small-headed people and it comes with an adaptor to plug into your hi-fi or whatever. However, the downside to these headphones is that the frame is a tad ...  Read the complete review

The Phillips SH2500 is a reasonable set of headphones. I bought these pretty cheaply from Amazon a few months ago, to be used when watching TV and films on my computer. They perform well, the base is really good and deep, and sounds are clear, however when connected to anything other than a TV or computer, the volume level is pretty low. Even on max, the sound is still low. They also leak a lot of sound. If I put the volume on max and put the headphones around my neck, I can still hear everything clearly. Sound leaking is a big thing with the SH2500, so it's definitely not the type of headphones you want to use in public. They are also quite bulky, ...  Read the complete review

These headphones are acceptable for the price i payed for them. At $20 i couldn't go wrong could i? first off lets address the fit/finish: there a decent fitting pair of cans can be worn for multiple hours without fatigue though after a while the headband got lose on me and doesn't support the cans at all. Good thing the ear pads are large enough for the ear to fit inside. The ascetics are quite plain in a minimalist sorta way. ok now onto the cord: its massive and will end up a rats nest. The cord after the volume control is split in two and goes into each side of the cans which is a slight nuisance but its bearable. as said before the cord ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Philips SHP2500 in 2007 at my local Argos for £14.99. When I first used them, I was surprised on how much the headphones boosted the bass sound of my music. There is a volume control turner on the headphones which means you don't have to get up and grab your CD player controller to adjust the volume. The headphones also comes with an input changer. This means I can plug the headphones into my guitar amp and get a really good quality sound. The product was created by Philips which is a massive company that supplies anything and everything electrical - at the best quality. These headphones are very comfy to wear and gives an excellent sound. If you are looking ...  Read the complete review
