Philips SHS5200 Reflective Neckband Headphones I must say people, it has enhanced my pleasure of music listening. from Amazon.com Philips SHS5200 Reflective Neckband Headphones from Amazon.com Compared to the SHJ070 this head phone a total disappointment. The reason I bought it is because of the good reviews however if you want a good head phone you need to look at the specs; the lower the Frequency Response the clearer the sound quality: it's 10 Hz - 24 kHz for SHS070 and 12 Hz - 24 kHz for other lower SH models. The SHS5200 has a cheaply looking plastic and a very uncomfortable fitting. from Amazon.com These Philips SHS-5200 headphones are the best, especially for the price, and especially if you wear them during any exercising. Headphones often fail due to catching a hand or arm on the cord. from Amazon.com Looked at the reviews of other neckband headphones. They were either too expensive, too uncomfortable, too fragile, or some combination of those attributes. from Amazon.com While they physically WORK as headphones, there are a a lot of cons to having these that it really may not be for your usage. I bought these to wear to walk to and from the bus stop/work while listening to music/podcasts, and while they physically worked, they block minimal sound resulting in having to turn up the volume much louder than you normally would. The 'reflective' part doesn't really do much, so don't depend on it in low-light situations. Plus any amount of sweating/moisture makes the 'reflective' material begin to flake off within a month or two. from Amazon.com We both used the SENNHEISER PMX60, but I wanted to try these. Comfort: The Philips has thicker, stiffer plastic everywhere, more pinch points, feels "cheaper", and we experienced listening fatigue more quickly. They felt like they were squeezing the head more, and caused headaches sometimes. from Amazon.com I love these headphones, and have been using this model or one of its predecessors for years. They are very comfortable and work well with glasses. They are also EXTREMELY durable, I have a pair of the Philips SBC HS520 (an earlier version) that I have used daily for four years. Sound quality is good for its price range. from Amazon.com For the price, these are best headphones i have bought, very comfortable great sound, super lightweight, reflective fabric in back is my only complaint, though safe for running on roads and the such i don't need this safety, but this is trivial only detracts from the look a little. I just bought my second pair. from Amazon.com The sound is clearer and the bass is a noticeable improvement. With the apple earphones, when I'd eat a snack or I am chewing or yawning, the earphones would not pop out, but I'd have to readjust it. With this Philips set, it just works. For $15, this is a steal! from Amazon.com
