Philips SHB9250/00 Bluetooth Headphones with NFC, Multipoint Connection and Touch Sensitive Control - Black

I bought these to replace their predecessor the Philips SHB9100 and I primarily use them down the gymn.I really like the sound quality which is an improvement on the SH9100 and they have a nice build quality feel about them. The headphones sit on your ears rather than over them but I find that fine and prefer the fact as it makes them lighter and smaller for gym purposes. My husband doesn't like that as it makes his ears feel pressured but I doesn't effect mine.What I don't like are the new controls. To pause the music you tap the right hand outside of the ear piece. However there are certain areas where it works and I'm finding it difficult to locate the correct spot when wearing them. Similarly to increase the volume you stroke upwards on the ear piece but frequently this pauses the music rather than increasing the sound.Similarly if you want to advance a song you slide your finger forwards across the ear piece or backwards for vice versa but this frequently results in pausing the music rather than advancing to the next song.However they are a stylish head set with good quality sound but the controls are temperamental and not easy to use.Other reviews have talked about a seam that sticks into your head but I don't know what they are talking about. There is a seem on the inside of the head band but that doesn't effect my head at all. I suppose it might if you were bald. There are no outward facing seams on the ear pieces.

I have a pair of these and bought another for my son who was looking for a pair. The sound quality is superb for the price although there isn't any noise cancelling but as I use them during a commute I don't mind that. The only down side is that the touch sensitive controls are a bit fiddly to use. I've heard more expensive headphones that don;'t sound quite as good - of course its subjective but I recommend these.

Very good sound, great bass and clarity. Comfortable, but can get a bit sweaty on the ears after a while.Via bluetooth, the sound pauses briefly every now and again, but I can't be sure if it's my Galaxy S4 or the headphones.My previous SB9100's also have the same issue but it's less apparent than for the SB9250.

Pros:- Decent sound- Good battery life- Touch interface responds well enoughCons:- Head cushion disappointing (some would find the stitching irritating)- Presses too hard on the ears- Does not fold- Does not handle well 2 connected devices (and does not remember more than 2 devices)

I really wanted non-bulky headphones for gym and general leisure and these don't disappoint whatsoever. Sound quality is great - the swipe features for volume and change song etc. are pretty sensitive, but it rarely ever stops my music, so I'm not complaining. Battery life is fantastic. Nothing negative to say

very good bluetooth...be careful when closing them if you have enlarge the band,,,it might get your skin stuck in it.

Very good.

It's amazing. I really like my headphone
