Philips SHS390/98 Neckband Headphone Review

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.

Shortlink for this page - http://bit.ly/sa912600

I am just a guy like you who seen that AskMeBaazar Ad and fills with a tempt to buy a Samsung own Power Bank which comes at just Rs.299? Rs.299 only, first I can't believe this, second even the Zoook 2600mAh Portable Charger cost Rs.399, third a Samsung product which is famous for their high rate comes at just Rs.299. Well how it is possible.
After doing a little research I have found that those who brought this Power Bank Online get dissapointed by the product. Take a look of the below review collected from the Flipkart. Click to expand the image in lightbox.

 

Okay I search for Samsung 2600 mAh Power Bank on various shopping sites like Ebay.in, Amazon.in, Flipkart.com and Rediff. 

• AskMebazaar - The product page redirect me to the homepage.
• Amazon.in - I have not found any of the product look similar to this power bank on Amazon. 
• Flipkart.com - I have found two Samsung portable chargers one is with the packaging and comes in white color, and the other one is black, with same name and model number and you can see the customer reaction above. 
• Shopping.Rediff.com - Same product at higher price (As always) with same image.

I tried Searching with the model number "SA-91" which leads to same search result. The one search leads to Snapdeal.com with a an Sold Out product. Here it is. I am unable to find the date of the product. So I decided to take a look at the seller, just the Power Bank in active listing. Hmm Suspicious. O.o

I have searched it on Samsung India Official Site too. Found nothing. Just two SPB9000 power banks. Till now I have not seen any ad on TV or in Youtube, just some user reviews nothing much. 

So is SA-91 is a Scam or Orignal Power Bank by Samsung?

Things to Remember while Buying a Memory Card

Let's take a look at some important tips to consider while buying a Memory Card Online or Retail for your Smartphone

Generally a memory card expands your mobile phone storage memory which in turn let you store more data. But the first thing which I want to clear is that Memory Card is not just only for storage purpose. The performance of your Android Smartphone or iPhone depends upon your Memory Card Read and Write Speed. Here in this post you will learn how to buy a Memory Card.

Well its not as easy as you just visit a retail shop ask for a MicroSD card and with transaction you end a purchase. You ain't gonna buy this mobile accessory again and again unless you got any free gift cards or something. Remember this mantra - buy once and buy wise.

So now take a look at these important tips which you have to consider before making your purchase.

1. Well most commonly all the latest Android Phones ROM operates on Android 4.0 and above versions which allow you to move your app data to SD card, this feature is known as APP2SD.
   
   As you move your app/game data from internal storage to sd card. Your allocate data for the moved files. The high speed memory card make it easy to access the data promptly in comparison to low performance memory cards. For a practical purpose try to move the data on a Class 2 memory card and a Class 6 memory card and play the game or app. You will spot the difference by yourself.
2. What is Class in Memory Card? Class is a classification of Memory Card in respect of their transfer speed. The higher class memory card has comparatively much faster than preceding one.
   Class 2
   Class 4
   Class 6
   Class 10
   For a low to mid end smartphone, you can choose from Class 4 or Class 6 Memory Card. I suggest you to buy a Class 10 or UHS 1 (Ultra High Speed) only if you owe a high end smartphone. A higher Class 10 or UHS is generally required for high resolution photo capturing which requires maximum amount of RAM.

3. Price factor - Price matters, a 8GB Class 2 memory card cost only 150-250 INR. A Class 4 or 6 memory card cost a little higher than that. Various dealing sites help you to buy a better and performance memory card at lowest price. So before buying a memory card, keep track on them too. Also the event sales lower down the price amount too.
4. Brand Matters - Its hard to say which Memory Card Brand works better for you but in order to solve this dilemma, you can ask you friends, relatives, you can read user reviews on Amazon and Flipkart or make a forum post. You can post a question here too. I will happy to help you in buying a best memory card. You can choose from SanDisk, Toshiba and Kingston. I have read user issues with local brands or loose products. Check this one.
5. Performance Benchmark - You can use Antutu Banchmark app to benchmark your Memory Card read and write speed. These utility apps does not requires root. Just install it in your friend smartphone and benchmark their Memory Card, do a little comparison test and then decide which one to buy.

Your Memory Card performance also depends upon various factors -

• Latest and updated memory cards make data transfer faster.
• While working with data cable, your transfer speed depends upon your android phone RAM usage. Also in many cases transfer via USB cable is lower than from memory cards.
• Quality of cable - a lower quality cable can hampers the transfer rate. 
• Beware of duplicates and fake products. 

I hope these tips helps you. There is nothing new in this post but just a general idea which may helps some new guys. If it helps you, click that like button from below.
