Philips SHE5920/27 Review by Tyler Will

The sound qualit is amazing, and the rubber caps help keep them in your ear. These are the best earbuds I've ever owned. I bought a pair three years ago and I won't buy any other...too good to substitute.


Philips SHE5920/27 Review by SuburbanPrairie

These are far & away my favorite buds; in fact, this is the 3rd pair I've had. The sound quality is fantastic. These just happen to fit in my ears better than anything else (i.e., "marshmallow" type buds). The one little flaw, which is the reason I've had to buy three pairs now, is this: where the two ear cords meet and are joined together to form the single cord that plugs into the device, the left cord separates and tears, causing loss of sound to the left bud. I've had this happen twice now, and normally I wouldn't buy another pair with this known problem. But these things fit my ears so well, it's worth it to me. My first pair lasted a few years, the second pair lasted under a year. I'm hoping this pair will last a while... we'll see.


Philips SHE5920/27 Review by Chris

Alright, so as far as I know this product has been discontinued, but I hope Phillips reads the good reviews and reintroduce the product.

When I first started buying these about 4 years ago, they were only around $15. I don't know how much people expect earphone's to go for... but that was pretty good in my book, and certainly not overpriced.
The audio sound in these earphones is great. I don't know how much people expect surround sound to work in earphones, but for me they definitely do the job. For example, there is a song that I listen to that has the sound of a particular instrument move from the left bud to the right bud continuously, to make you feel like the sound is supposed to be moving around you. That's what's supposed to happen right? Okay, well that's what it does. I see other people complaining on here like it's supposed to be "grade A best surround sound I ever heard" when you paid less than $20 for it. Seriously?

Bass: Alright, so the bass here isn't incredible. But it's definitely better than some earphones I use where the bass is nonexistent. Just so folks understand where I'm coming from... I'm all about bass. Some folks here are "wow the bass on these sucks" or some dumb comment like that. In my car I have 2 12" Kickers that I bump everywhere I go. Nothing impressive, but I know what bass is supposed to sound like, and these get the job done. There is a little bass in there that you can hear, nothing spectacular, but for less than $20, it's good.

Okay, so many people are complaining about cable length. Yes, the cable is asymmetrical. The left cable is shorter than the right, which is a little longer. People complain that this causes the bud to come off... Newsflash - that's because you're wearing it wrong. It shouldn't be difficult for people to figure out that you put the left bud in your left ear, wrap the right bud AROUND the back of your head so it fits in the right ear. In fact, I feel that this is much better than the typical cable layout. Why? Let's say that you're at the gym and you're working out. By the way, these buds stay in my ear ALL DAY when I'm running, jumping, doing whatever. It's great. Okay so we're at the gym and we're working out. Oh wow, I know that person. Let's go talk to her. So you take out one of your buds so you can have a conversation. Because of the cable layout, if you take out your right bud, it will simply rest by your neck since it's wrapped around the back of your head. Easy access to get to later, and it's not falling out everywhere. Typical cable layouts (at least for me) - if I take one out of my ear, the weight of one bud will pull the other one right out with it.

I hope you could understand that, and what I was trying to say.

In terms of durability, I never expected these to last very long. They're less than $20 (at least they were), so what was everyone else expecting. But I could get away with 8 or 9 months on one set. Thats pretty damn good for me.

Last thing I suppose are these little rubber parts that go on the buds. Yes, you need these so they will fit in your ear. When you buy them, they come in 2 sizes, one pair for each size. Yes, they are also easy to lose - this only starts really happening after a few months tho, since they come a little loose. At first it was frustrating, but once you understand that they only come loose if they hit a snag, they every time you snag something, you'll check. It's not very difficult. I don't lose them at all anymore! It's not like they're sitting on the earphone and "Whoops!" just fall off. And really it's a small tradeoff for the great quality of these buds.

Anywayyyyyys... This is the only review I've written, which is why it sucks, but at the same time I just wanted people to know how great these were for me, and that they're the only phones I've every used that don't fall out EVER when I'm exercising. Everyone's ears are different, but I hope people have the same experience as me.
