From: Amazon Posted: Apr 02, 2008 Type: User Review Still working well after 2 years

I have owned these for about 2 years and they have stood up to daily use. The sound quality is good enough for me, I'm not an audio engineer or anything that might make me a discerning observer, but the sound quality is some of the best I've had...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 24, 2008 Type: User Review Good sound, but poorly engineered for the ear.

I bought this product, based on the impressive display and characteristics the container boasted. While the product does deliver great surround sound other impressive characteristics, this product's good characteristics are quickly outweighed by...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 02, 2008 Type: User Review Not for BASS or Dance music

What a great price. I normally spend 40-50 on Sony or even more on BOSE headphones and the surround sound idea seemed cool.

They seem, as other reviews said, very tough and well made.


Sadly, they sound like a...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 05, 2008 Type: User Review Bad Fit Decent Sound

Good earphones but did the well paid engineers at phillips make them too big to many ears. I have to push them into my ear with pressure, not like other earbuds.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 29, 2008 Type: User Review Not for small ears

I've had these for a number of years, but I was never happy with them because no matter how I tried to fit them in my ears, they keep falling out, and after a while, my ear canals just start hurting. The metal part of the bud is designed to go in...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 29, 2008 Type: User Review Ouch!

Whose ears are this large???

As someone already stated, they only stay in your ears for 2 seconds. I'm even using the tapered inserts. They have fairly nice sound from what I can tell, but they are painful and don't stay in my ears....

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 17, 2008 Type: User Review Professional musician/producer

I'm a professional musician, and I've been using in-ear monitors on stage for several years. I've used my "dual-driver" earbuds (Westone and Shure - about $300-$600+) to listen to iPods/mp3 players, and I like the sound of these Philips earphones...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 14, 2008 Type: User Review Great sound for price, TERRIBLY uncomfortable

The sound quality on these earphones is quite good. It rivals even the $50 Sony ear buds. The Best Buy representative said that this was because it is designed more similarly to the $100 Bose earphones. You will hear the variety of the sounds,...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 10, 2008 Type: User Review Sound great and fits good. breaks in under a year.

These have to be the best headphones I've bought. The sound quality is great and it fits perfectly in my ear. But the problem i have is that one side always craps out so i only get sound in one ear. This is happened to me twice. Both never lasted...
