Recently I bought a pair of Philips sport headphones from Best Buy. They are the Extra bass neckband headphones model SHS3910.
Frankly I have bought several headsets in the last several months because I lose them all the time and wanted to get the cheapest set I could find.
These were not the cheapest but they came close.
I was able to get these sport headphones for $15.99. We do not have a sales tax up here so it was nice not having to pay that.
These headphones are supposed to work fine on MP3s, iPods, and CD applications. It says that it has 32mm Neodymium speakerdrivers for superb sound quality, bass beat for excellent sound, and ergonomic ear-cushions to ensure an ergonomic preformed comfortable fit. It has a 3.5 mm stereo plug and comes with 4 ft of cable length.
Listen I do not know half of what they are saying on the headphone packaging. It all sounds like crap if you ask me. I found them to be mediocre.
If you are looking for sport headsets I actually think these can get annoying. The two speakers are connected by a plastic handle that is made to fit around the back of your neck. Its irritating. Not to the extent of some others, mind you, but irritating nonetheless. The sound is alright but sub par. I was listening to the NCAA championship game between Duke and Villanova and I couldn’t hear the action going on over my treadmill like I wanted to. Again, it was not bad but not the best.
Overall I give these headphones a 5. You get what you pay for. For a cheap set of sport headphones I would say you get your fair value. Nothing more and nothing less. In the next article we will talk about bluetooth headphones
