Reviewing the Philips SHB3165 Wireless Headphones

 

On Black Friday in 2015, I purchased Pair of Philips wireless headphones for under £30 because I wanted to try them with my iPod.

I initially looked at Beats by Dre headphones; however, after seeing these Philips wireless headphones in the Black Friday sale on the Argos website reduced from £99 to £29, you can’t go wrong.

If they were good, then I would have got a real bargain, and if they were bad, at least, I would only be £30 out of pocket.

Having used my apple headphones that came free with the iPod, iPhone and iPad, I wanted wireless ones because running and moving around with wired headphones on can be a real pain, and I didn’t think I would use them enough to justify buying Beats for £100 plus.

Pros
10 metre Bluetooth  
Soft cushioned earpieces  
Good battery life   Headphones are adjustable.      

Cons
There is no plug, so you can only charge them with the USB. 

The headband could do with some padding to make wearing them for a long time comfortable.

The music slows down when the battery is low

The Bluetooth is not as reliable when the battery is low.  

Battery life

You can enjoy up to 11 hours of play with these headphones.

This makes them great companions to travel with, even on long haul flights.

Conclusion

If you like the sound of these awesome wireless headphones, that’s great to hear because you can still purchase them from Argos for £39.99.

Both the design and sound quality are good, although they could be better. I like the freedom you have with wireless headphones, and these are the first pair of wireless headphones that I have owned.

I like the fact that I can put my iPod in my pocket and wear headphones or listen to music on my laptop or tablet while dancing around the lounge, thanks to the beauty of having a 10-metre wireless range.

They aren’t as good as Beats. However, Beats cost a lot more money compared to these stylish Philips wireless headphones.

If you are on a lower budget, I suggest giving these Bluetooth beauties a whirl because they are great value for the money.

Score

I’m giving these Philips headphones a rating of 4 out of 5 because although the headphones come with a USB lead, there is no plug.
