Philips she8500 in-ear headphones - any good ?
i'm looking for a good pair of earbud type in-ear headphones for my ipod - willing to go to about £20 quid if necessary.
saw these in argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...s|10199251.htm wondered if anyone knew if they were any good ? these ones .. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...s|10199251.htm are the ones i'm looking at as well .. if anyone has any of them, i'd be grateful for your opinion, or any other recommendations .. cheers .. i've currently got the JVC Gumy headphones, which aren't too bad but i think I can do better. |

head over to headfi org and be willing to spend a little more if you want sound quality.

the head is willing, but the wallet isn't unfortunately .. £20 quid would be my absolute maximum upper limit.

I got the SHE9500 for £15, brilliant pair of headphones.
They haven't got very good reviews, but I love them http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SHE9...3311397&sr=8-1 |

If you want to go really posh but stay under your 20 quid limit theres the CX-500s with noise cancellation, very swish.
![]() i hate to say it, but you've tempted me now !!! *shakes fist*

I clicked through a couple of those links for CX-500's and ended up on an Amazon Market Place seller.
I would only buy these direct from Amazon (or Play.com ... or somewhere like that). Far too many fakes on places like ebay and Amazon market place. You *may* get legit ones ...... but, personally, I wouldn't take the chance. |

I was tempted by a pair of she9800 Philips Headphones today to replace my Sony EX90's they broke a few days ago so I took them back to Argos and got myself a pair of EX85's because they didn't have any of the EX90's in stock after all the problems I've had with Philips Technology lately I wasn't risking it.

![]() the one thing i did notice though was that my jaw was bloody killing me after an hour of listening to music - guess it's the whole in-ear thing. the noise cancellation deeley does work pretty well as well. really good quality buds .. very pleased |
