- How long have you been using it?
I bought it in 2003 because I needed low-budget headphones to avoid disturbing my neighbors.
I chose this Philips SBC HP 800.
- Which features do you like the most / the least?
Pros: good sound at very high output volumes, long single-sided cable.
Cons: lack of sound clarity, lows and mids are to loud, no detailed signal reproduction. You'll have to apply some pressure on the ear cups to hear and feel everything.
Broken after one year even though I was very careful. You can swivel the ear cups but I don't recommend it because the axis wears out and the ear cups fall down.
They make you tired after only one hour.
- Did you try any other models before buying it?
No
- How would you rate its value for money?
Not good in spite of the price.
- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
Yes if I have no money and I need a pair of headphones.
But now that I can spend a bit more money, I recommend the Sennheiser HD650, which are wonderful for home studio applications.
