Philips SBC-HC200

I have had my Philips SBC-HC200 for several years on daily charge and they continue to work fine.

- Llghtweight so easy to wear for extended sessions.

- Full-cup design gives good insulation from outside noise.

- Long-range IR link so you move around without signal drop-out (when in line-of-sight).

- Wide frequency-range and airy spacious sound-field.

- Affordably priced.

Light Ease of use Quality of sound strong Does what they should - has excellent sound quality, light weight, strong (has been thrown around and not lost sound in either ear),and no cords to get tangled everywhere

I was concerned that a cordless headphone has limitation in term of range and coverage before getting this. My hall is about 15' x 21' and there is no problem for me to move around, up and down :) , I still get clear sound. I only wish it could have bass as powerful as my sony in-ear headphone (ear-plug type, strongest bass on earth) but neverthless it is good enough for casual usage.

I remember trying some cordless headphones years ago and they were absolutely awful, fuzzy sound, if you moved around the room the sound quality dipped badly. So with this in mind I was sceptical, but having read a review I decided to buy a pair of these Philips SBCHC200, and what a leap forward in technology. This time (maybe because they're infra-red) there is no loss in sound when moving around, in fact the sound quality for the money is tremendous, detailed with good bass and crisp treble. The headset itself is extremely comfortable and the ear cups are cloth covered. Comes complete with charger and rechargeable batteries and transmitter and small and large size jack plugs, not bad for under £20! Recommended.
