A bit about headphones

The cost of the model in ordinary stores fluctuatesfrom 500 to 1800 rubles. In this case, it is more profitable to buy it in Internet networks, where this figure is somewhat smaller: the extreme limit of the range is 800 rubles. Accordingly, from the device of such a price, one should not expect any special "talents".

The manufacturer claims on its official resource that the headphones with microphone Philips SHM1900 comfortably sit on the head and sound quality. However, whether this is so will help understand this article.

Headphone design

Even with the fact that this device is calledfull-sized, and its bowls visually seem huge, de facto they are small and normally "sit" on the head. This is claimed by many owners of headphones. However, not every ears will be comfortable in them. This is due to the fact that the ear cushions have a slightly wrong diameter. These headphone components for the overhead type are too large, and for full-sized, alas, small ones. The most convenient Philips SHM1900 will "sit" on those people who have small ears. The plastic of the ear cups is poor, so the noise insulation is minimal. This is confirmed by people in their reviews - the world around you can be heard.

Disadvantages in construction

Discomfort is also caused by the fact that these headphones have two separate wires. This is inconvenient, but the company did not foresee such a scenario.

A long time before the release of headphones datathe company announced the creation of almost a new level of comfort. However, the model of the device did not justify such information. This is due to the use of hard plastic and even with the fact that the company deliberately divided the rim into a pair of arcs, still the pressure on the consumer's head has not decreased. The most convenient headphones Philips SHM1900 seem to those who have a thick head of hair.

Therefore, based on the feedback of customers, it must be said that the headset is quite uncomfortable, and it will not give coziness, only a sharp sensation of pain.

Wires with a careful attitude quickly do not break. There are some complaints, but on average they work a couple of years.

About the microphone

Headset microphone Philips SHM1900 (reviews about ityou can read below) is made in the form of a cable that is well-rubberized. He has some drawbacks. First, the cable is flexible enough. This is good until the wire breaks. Eliminate issues with inoperability is difficult enough, it's easier to buy a separate microphone.

In addition to the above problem, the headset hasa specific design, due to which this part can not be moved. The microphone either "supports" the neck, or is fixed near the mouth, which is not always convenient. Therefore, with its mounts there are small problems that the manufacturer did not want to eliminate.

Microphone characteristics

Initially, it seems to customers that the wire frommicrophone is short enough. However, after several times of use it becomes clear that such a length is done deliberately. If the wire was slightly larger, then the interlocutor would listen to the whistle and breath of the consumer.

Due to a sufficiently high frequencyrange, the microphone allows the opponent to hear clearly the voice of the owner of this headset. In this case, a good effect has been achieved by the manufacturer, adjust the equalizer or increase the volume manually do not have to.

Problems with the microphone

Initially, the construction does not cause anyfears. The plastic from which it is made is durable and stable. However, the wires are rather thin, so they can easily tear at the fastening points. Judging by the reviews, the microphone breaks very quickly. For some, this period is two days. Perhaps it is a marriage in a party or a factory error.

Sound

The sound of headphones on the middle level - itfully corresponds to its price. The playback frequency is standard: from 20 to 20 thousand Hz. This is enough to comfortably listen to music without much distortion.

Headset Philips SHM1900 / 00 adequatelyreproduces the bass. However, the middle-level bits are somewhat dull. At the same time, high frequencies are hardly audible. Unfortunately, this is often noted by consumers as a drawback. But, if the headphones are bought for the usual listening to music or playing on the computer, then especially these remarks "in the eye" do not rush.

If there is a desire to enjoy the compositions, then,you need to notice, it is necessary to try hard with the settings of the sound card and the equalizer. When this goal is achieved, the result will be quite adequate, and it will be much more pleasant to reproduce the music.

But in general for its price category, headphones are more than normal in sound.

Reviews

In most reviews about Philips SHM1900 headphones are not particularly positive. Let us first consider all the negative aspects that buyers mark.

The device has poor sound insulation. Some say that outside sounds are heard outside, at home - noise from the TV. Separate lots consist of devices where the design problem is: the microphone is constantly falling, the size regulators are not working properly, the speakers are moving down. Many indicate in the reviews that sitting in headphones for more than 20 minutes is almost impossible, since the ears begin to ache. Of the common problems can sometimes be called poor wire performance. It happens that a short circuit occurs, and one of the headphones stops functioning. Some people came across the Philips SHM1900, which has a terrible level of playback. Most likely, it was released with a factory marriage. Not only is a person hearing strange noises, but everyone around him knows what song is being reproduced. The microphone often ceases to hold and constantly moves, it is still quiet. They note that either one must shout at him, or speak, pressing him to his mouth. Some complain that the bass can not be heard at all. To the ears are pressed tightly, many buyers they simply fall off. Wires are thin, long can not stand. However, with a careful attitude the computer headset Philips SHM1900 / 00 will last about 2-3 years. There are people for whom it has been operating for the sixth consecutive year.

The consumers consider the price to be the main advantagedata of headphones. The average cost is about 1 thousand rubles. Outwardly, the device went out quite impressively, few people like design. Sounding is a moot point, because some buyers are very happy with them. The playback quality depends on the source. If you want, you can use the equalizer. Buyers who bought headphones in order to play on the computer are completely satisfied with their purchase. Value for money is excellent, there are no complaints about it. The sound is blurred, soft, the ears do not suffer from strongly aggressive playback. The microphone works normally, those who often speak Skype or VibER do not complain. The convenience of headphones can also be called a controversial issue, because there are buyers who note that they do not rub, do not press and do not fall down. Perhaps, this nuance is more dependent on the length of the ears and the shape of the head of each buyer. They weigh only 208 g, so their "presence" is not felt, which can be called an additional advantage. The wire is long, allowing you to move around without removing the headphones.

Outcomes

If suddenly the buyer has a small budget andsmall ears, as well as an urgent need for a headset for talks on a laptop computer or frequent gameplay, it is possible to pay attention to the model Philips SHM1900. However, before you buy it, it's better to check the convenience of its location on the head.

To listen to music, and absolutely anygenre accessories, as well as for daily travels around the game worlds, this model is almost not suitable. Unfortunately, the company failed to create a solid-looking headset with the same excellent technical characteristics. This is also confirmed by a lot of customer feedback.
