Philips Audio SHP2500/10 Hi-Fi Headphones, TV Headphones with Long Cable (Excellent Sound, Sound Isolation, In-Cord Volume Control, Extra Long 6-m Cable) Silver/Black

I think these are excellent TV headphones. They provide super sound quality, and I like that they have a generous 6 metres of cable on them - saving you the inconvenience and expense of buying an additional cable. The cups are large enough to cover your ears, and so help to to make the most of the audio reaching your ears, whilst blocking out any unwanted peripheral sounds. I wasn't particularly bothered about having an inline volume control, but the cable is fitted with one, and I have no complaints about its function - it works absolutely fine. The 3.5mm audio jack on the end of the cable will fit into most TV, Laptop, radio, mobile phone, or iPod sockets, but a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adaptor is included in the package should you need it.I actually got these Philips headphones to replace a pair of far more expensive Sennheiser ones, whose pads were shot after many years of usage - unfortunately, spares were no longer available. I daily use headphones connected up to my TV - mainly so as not to disturb my wife, who tends to go to bed early. The other reason though is that the sound quality is far superior to that which comes out of the TV's inbuilt speakers. This means that on action movies etc you get a truly immersive experience - if you turn the lights off, it's almost as good as being in the cinema! It goes without saying that these headphones are a godsend when it comes to watching music performances. Its also worth mentioning that those who have hearing difficulties, or those that sometimes find the dialogue on TV dramas/movies muffled, will benefit from the sharper, clearer sound quality that they'll hear when wearing these. Really folks, if you want to invest in a set of decent headphones that you primarily wish to use for TV viewing, then you can't go wrong with buying yourself a pair of these Philips ones - I'm more than pleased with mine. Many thanks for checking out my review, I hope you found it of use.

I use these for gaming every day, for long periods too. They are comfortable, the sound is more than good enough for gaming. They do have a bit of sound leakage but not too bad, the cord wasn't long enough for my purposes (plasma screen on wall 10 ft away) so I got an extension lead which gives me ridiculous range. The bottom line is that there are a lot better headphones than these but they are silly money and if you want to use them regularly and take them on and off over and over again then the expensive ones are judt going to break your heart when they inevitably get broken (usually the cables), I have a lot of cats, they like to chew things. These are cheap and great for the money, so far they are lasting better than headphones 4x as much.

These headphones are amazing. The only downside is the very long cable. I'm on my third pair, due to stepping on the cable and ripping it out of the headphones themselves. However my latest pair, which I purchased back in 2010 are still going. I knew I'd had them a while but I didn't realise it was 6 years, THAT'S how great these headphones are. The sound could be louder BUT it has great bass and for it's price I really can't ask for anything more.They are great value for money and these headphones have managed to survive 6 years heavy usage and 5 house moves and are STILL going. And yes, I am writing this review 6 years later, so it is nearly time to replace my current pair, as I noticed the cable has split. But six years an amazing length of any headphones of mine to last, for the extent I use them in.

I had high hopes for the Philips Audio SHP2500/10 headphones, but unfortunately, they didn’t live up to expectations. While the long cable is a convenient feature, especially for TV use, the overall sound quality is underwhelming. The audio lacks depth, with weak bass and tinny highs, making it less enjoyable for both music and dialogue.The build quality also feels quite cheap, with a lightweight plastic design that doesn’t inspire confidence in durability. The ear cushions are not particularly comfortable for extended use, and the fit isn’t secure, which can be annoying.While the price might seem attractive, the performance is just not up to par. I’d recommend looking for alternatives if you’re after good sound quality and comfort.

These Philips SHP2500/10 Hi-Fi Headphones are fantastic for TV watching and home audio. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced, with deep bass and crisp highs. The long cable is a huge plus, allowing plenty of movement without feeling restricted.The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, even for extended use. The adjustable headband and cushioned ear cups provide a good fit without pressure.Highly recommended for anyone looking for affordable, high-quality wired headphones for TV or music

Arrived in a box which looked like it had been sent out numerous times before and the sound quality was awful. Sending back.

These were purchased to enable me to listen to music and tv on a laptop. I wasn't expecting hi fi sound quality but they are surprisingly good. Excellent dynamic range, a good stereophonic stage, and comfortable to wear for hours. I wanted wired headphones to avoid the hassle of constant charging and Bluetooth dropout. The very lengthy cable is ideal. Such good value, thoroughly recommended for the purpose that I bought them for.

My grandmother was getting to the state where she was finding it hard to hear the TV and read subtitles.These headphones fit perfectly over the head and allowed her to listen clearly to the TV.The cable is really long on these so you can sit a fair distance away in comfort. It also has a volume control wheel at the headphone end.These cover the ears so reduce external noise but are not noise cancelling.Just good old fashioned over ear headphones.Good quality like you would expect from Philips. I would buy these again!
