They're budget priced but have great sound quality. Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Review: The Philips SHP2500?is a full sized, budget priced headphone. On the packaging, it is labeled as "Stereo TV headphones". from Shopping.com I needed headphones to attach to my computer so I could listen to music, and especially, George Carlin and Sam Kinison, late at night when everyone is asleep and I'm wide awake (I work 2nd shift). I didn't have much to spend, so I went on the other reviewers advice and bought these Philips headphones. The other reviewers were right, these are an excellent pair of headphones for the money. from Circuitcity.com The head set stopped working in one ear phone within one month of purchase. Very poor product. I bought it to go with the philips mp3 player for my daughter. The mp3 player is great not the headset. from Amazon.com The right side head phone did not work since I opened the package. Another piece of junk from China produced for Philips! Now I am stuck with a product which I can't use and now I am figuring out how to get a replacement from Amazon as I was gone out of the country for 30 days. from Amazon.com I saw someone comment that the picture looks nothing like the product. Maybe Amazon has changed the picture since that comment, or maybe that person commented on the wrong thing. The picture of the Philips SHP2500 headphones with the very large ("surround sound" I call it) ear caps is accurate. from Amazon.com Returned them and got a new pair. Two, maybe three weeks later, and the right channel dies. Again, no idea why these Philips headphones keep giving out on the right side, but two out of two pairs did this in about the same amount of time. I guess I am just getting unlucky pairs, since a lot of people like these, but I am going to stay away from them. from Amazon.com The Philips SHP2500 Headphones sound great...period. The $20.00 price tag make them even more of a stand-out. from Amazon.com They reproduce simple sounds quite nicely, but complex passages can become a blur. But then, phones that do everything well probably cost five times as much, or more. It would be interesting to see what Philips could do for twice the price. I experimented with reversing the absolute polarity (which required chopping off the connector and reconnecting the "hots" as "grounds" and the "grounds" as "hots"), but the sound got worse, so it was already optimal for my system, unfortunately. from Amazon.com I have very complaints in that department. However, even after a few minutes, they can become very painful to wear. I suppose you get what you pay for, but usually Philips is better than this. Needless to say, I plan on returning them. from Amazon.com For the price, these headphones are surprisingly good in all respects except the sound quality. Although I'm not qualified to give a critical audio review (but nobody who is qualified would review these), I think that most people would agree with me that their frequency response goes fairly low, but that they have an excessive middle/upper bass peak. from Amazon.com
