Advantages: good brand, design is fitted for active lifestyle, clear sharp sound output

Disadvantages: no color variants to choose from

Music has always been my companion most of the time. In today's digital world, you can now enjoy, share and bring music almost anywhere making use of an mp3 player or a cellphone.Not like the old walkman or the Portable CD player before which is too bulky on the pocket, mp3 player or other music player now are as small as one grasp. Some even are just as small as your thumb. With that small, you already enjoy listening to about hundred or even thousand of music. I really love music. I enjoy it all the time with my mp3 player and of course, with my good quality Philips earphone. At work, at play or even on my bed, I can enjoy music with no limits!

Quality sound matters a lot to me that's why I was very careful in choosing earphones that will satisfy my listening standard. I normally change earphone often times because I usually broke the wire or the earpiece accidentally. I don't know, but I may be just that clumsy enough.lolz... If one earpiece doesn't work anymore, I can't enjoy my music with just one earpiece working that's why I need to buy new one again.

Why I purchased this product?

I have tried several brands already but lately I just stick with Phillips brand because I find it much cheaper compared to other leading brand. And of course, I am very satisfied with its good quality sound output. Clear, crisp, noticeable bass sound,... its simply perfect. I have tried I think around 4 Phillips models already including this one at hand.

The Features?

Sound quality output of Philips SHS3200 was real good. Realistic, and the deep bass sound is amazingly awesome. The 15 mm speaker driver brings an optimized wearing comfort plus the 3D ear hook soft enough, stays fit and secure especially when you're active or move most of the time such as during exercise/work out, jogging or just walking around, you don't have to worry that the ear piece will drop. The shape of the ear hook was ergonomically designed to bring more comfort and stability keeping it on place. The cable length is 1.2 m., long enough for me because I normally put my mp3 player in my pocket every time I go out. Philips is boasting that durable material were used in their product to ensure its added long life.

Recommendations

If you are a highly mobile person this particular model is just right for you. It may look uncomfortable because of the hook but once you wear it, you can experience the comfort on the ears.
