Philips SHE8500

+ The earphone is perfect for its price, the bass comes out clearly. I was thinking of buying Sony earphones but I realized that they are only popular, because of the over-rated price tagged on every earphones produced by Sony. Like all you customers are doing right now, I was wondering, 'Why should I get these earphones?' And that question follows with a simple answer: because they're perfect. The sound comes out clearly, you can switch sizes of ear buds and most importantly these earphones respond quite effectively to the equalizer setting. These earphones look magnificent, they have a great design and look fashionable.

- The wire may seem too thin for some people but trust me on this one, the earphones are strong and will last. I have heard some of my mates who have the same earphones complain about the size of the ear buds and how they are uncomfortable but that can also be resolved, because it takes a while for you to psychologically get used to in-ear headphones.

+ they are good headophones overall

- one of mine the sound is not coming out of one ear

+ I have a lot of difficulty finding ear phones that stay in my tiny ears! These are great headphones, with good sound quality and they stay tight in my ear.

- The chord is very long and can sometimes get a bit tangled, I just use my headphones on the tube so don't need such a long chord
