Manual of product SHC8800
Editorial note
The Philips SHC8800 is a headphone that stands out for its exceptional sound quality, thanks to its 40 mm speakers and neodymium magnets. This combination ensures total immersion in music, with clear and powerful sound. Additionally, its lightweight and ergonomic design, coupled with a closed acoustic system, offers prolonged comfort and optimal sound isolation, ideal for long listening sessions. However, some aspects can be improved. Although the 15-hour battery life is reasonable, it may not be sufficient for intensive users who listen to music for long periods without the possibility of recharging. Furthermore, the lack of a microphone limits the versatility of the device for calls or voice recordings. The use of AAA batteries, while convenient, may lead to additional costs in the long run, which could affect the perceived value of the product. In terms of performance, the Philips SHC8800 receives satisfactory scores, with an overall positive user experience. However, the sensitivity of 98 dB may be too high for some, leading to auditory fatigue at high volumes. Despite a weight of 258 g that may seem a bit heavy for in-ear headphones, this model remains an interesting option for those seeking an immersive and comfortable audio experience.Score details
