Manual of product SHB5500
Editorial note
The Philips SHB5500 headphones stand out for their superior sound quality, thanks to 32 mm speakers and neodymium magnets, providing an immersive listening experience with a wide frequency range from 10 to 22,000 Hz. The impressive battery life of 9 hours of continuous playback, as well as 200 hours on standby, allows for extended use without frequent recharging. Additionally, the wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 3.0+HS ensures a quick and convenient connection, free from the constraints of cables. However, some drawbacks should be noted. The Bluetooth 3.0+HS connectivity may lead to latency or compatibility issues with certain devices, and the 9 hours of playback may prove insufficient for very active users. Although the weight of 118 g is reasonable, it can become uncomfortable during prolonged use, especially for in-ear headphones. Finally, the sound quality, while acceptable, may not satisfy audiophiles seeking a high-end experience. In terms of design, the headphones have a modern look with their sleek black color. The value for money is generally good, considering the features offered, but the sound quality and connectivity may disappoint some users. In summary, the Philips SHB5500 provide a satisfactory audio experience with practical features, although it is important to consider some compromises.Score details
