Let's Review Philips SHS390/98 Neckband Headphone. A Personal Review of this Stylish Neckband Headphone by Philips
Just few months back (October 2014) I have made my first Snapdeal purchase with the stylish and light weighted Neckband Headphone - Philips SHS390/98. I had done a little research before buying this headphone. I learn a little about their technical specifications, the terms and price range and then my self debate ends on Philips Neckband SHS390/98. So after this long time, I decided to make a little techy-specy post on my lovely Neckbands. I am gonna count all the pro and cons of this headphone in here. Before them let's take a look at the specifications.
Technical Specifications:
- 32mm Neodymium magnet speaker driver with Mylar dome diaphagram
- Open acoustic system, with noise isolation
- Bass beat vents allow air movement for better sound
- 24 Ohm impedance - good for gaming too
- Maximum power unit - 100Mw, use with PC or TV without any fear
- Frequency response 12 to 22000 Hz
- 1.2m single sided cable - tangle free
- No - Microphone made for music, read this post to add an additional
Now you're familiar with their technical specifications its time to weigh this Neckband Headphone on the basis of Pro and Cons.
Pro:
- Very light weighted
- One side cable reduces the chances of tangling also stable too.
- Easily fits on the ear cups and send sound directly to the ear
- Bass beat vent, it suits best while travelling. The small pores beneath the foam convert the air noise to bass
- Fine bass and comparatively high treble, but works best with Nokia Lumia smartphone and my Karbonn A15 plus (DTS is the advantage :D)
- 1.2m cable length, it just what I need, not so long not so short
- Sturdy 3.5mm jack
- Supports all the latest smartphone and Nokia smartphones, does not support old "N95" based mobile phones. Doesn't supports my old Nokia X201
- Made of flexible plastic, adjustable for any size of the head
- Also comes in a great and protective packing
Cons:
- The little extra length of this neckband feels uncomfortable especially on lifting the head up
- Not comfortable to use for long time
- Slightly lower bass on high volume, but works best on mid and low
- Due to its slightly high treble it not gonna deliver the as perfect sound as it provides on DTS supported and Nokia Lumia Smartphones. They can use Viper4FX application (require roots) to tweak the sound effect
Overall a good product at such low and affordable cost. It cost me Rs.375 with no shipping charges, Snapdeal Plus Advantage. I get impressed by the Snapdeal Prompt Delivery and prompt dispatch. I already listed this product in my top 15 Best Headphones and Earphones post. You can share your own experience with me and other MAP readers. Don't forget to share this post with friends. They might be looking for some personal review. Thanks for reading.
