Philips is known to many users as a supplier of completely different equipment. In a wide assortment, the company offers: televisions, blenders, meat grinders, vacuum cleaners, trimmers, hair straighteners, audio equipment and much more. By the way, about the audio equipment. There are many models for different price segments, but I would like to talk specifically about Philips Bluetooth wireless headphones. It will be about the two most affordable models, which for their price fully justify the sound quality. Let's get started!
Introduction
I would like to start the review with a short introduction. So, as already mentioned above, two models of headphones will be considered, both overhead, closed type. The models are wireless and work via Bluetooth.
As part of the review, we will take a closer look at the characteristics of the headphones, bundles, reviews, cost, and, of course, sound quality. In principle, with the introduction of everything, you can go to the point.
The first headphones to be discussed are the Philips SHB3080BK. Overhead, closed type, which guarantees isolation from extraneous noise. The headband here is adjustable, the ear pads are overhead, there is a built-in microphone that allows you to use headphones as a headset. There is also voice dialing.
Model Options
Philips SHB3080BK / 00 Bluetooth headphones are delivered in an ordinary transparent plastic blister pack. Traditionally, there is a lining made of cardboard, on the back of which you can read about the main advantages of headphones and their technical characteristics.
Inside, in addition to the headphones themselves, you can find only a brief user guide and a USB cable, the thickness of which does not inspire any confidence. It is even thinner than the cable that comes with the smartphone. There are no spare ear pads or anything extra here.
Appearance
Headphones look pretty pretty. The material from which everything is made is plastic, and good, with a matte finish. In some places there are engraved glossy inserts, which in no way spoil, but rather complement the design. It is also worth noting the presence of a folding mechanism, due to which the headphones can be downplayed in size and put into a small bag or bag without any problems.
Actually, there is nothing much to say about the headband - it is deprived of a soft lining from the bottom and is quite rigid. As for the cups, they have a small and pleasant to the touch texture, and its color is made for anodized steel.
All controls are located on the right cup. There is a button for answering a call, it also allows you to hang up and is responsible for the beginning or pause in the playback of tracks. On the bottom you can see a block of buttons to increase or decrease the volume, as well as flipping songs. In the middle there was a microUSB port, and right behind it was a Bluetooth button and an on / off key with a small LED.
If we talk about ear pads, then they are quite soft. Inside is the usual foam, and the surface is a fabric dyed black with artificial screeds.
Specifications
Philips bluetooth headphones have the following features:
- Type of headphones - wireless.
- View - invoices.
- Type of mount - headband.
- Type of ear pads - closed.
- The size of the membrane is 32 mm.
- The minimum frequency is 10 Hz.
- The maximum frequency is 22000 Hz.
- Headphone sensitivity - 106 dB.
- Resistance - 24 Ohms.
- Weight - 141 grams.
- Battery - Li-ion.
- Operating time - 10-11 hours.
- Additionally - microphone, control unit, call answer button.
The characteristics are very good, but the frequency range could be a little wider, especially in the "lower".
Sound
The sound quality of the headphones is quite good, but not for everybody. There are no problems at medium and high frequencies - the sound is very clear and clear, but there is clearly not enough bass. The situation can be corrected with an equalizer, but not always.
Reviews
Reviews of the Philips SHB3080 Bluetooth headphones show that the model is pretty good overall, but there are some downsides. So, users note an inconvenient location of the control buttons, a too bright LED, especially in the dark, weak bass and a slightly weak headband design.
Price
At the moment, SHB3080BK headphones can be bought in stores at a price of 2800 to 4000 thousand rubles, which is somewhat expensive. For such an amount, it is worth looking in the direction of competitors who offer no worse, and in some cases, headphones with a wireless connection are even better.
Philips SHB3075BL
Another wireless headphone with headband and closed ear pads. A distinctive feature is the BASS + technology, which allows you to enjoy rich sound, especially at low frequencies. Like the previous model, there is a separate block of control buttons, a microphone for voice communication and much more.
Contents of delivery
SHB3075BL headphones for sale in a small orange box made of thin cardboard. On the front of the package there is a small window made of transparent plastic, through which you can see a small part of the headset.
The delivery set is as simple as possible: a USB-microUSB cable for charging, an instruction manual, a brief user guide and the headphones themselves.
Design
Externally, the Philips Bass SHB3075BL / 00 Blue Bluetooth headphones look quite interesting and, most importantly, beautiful. The model has a blue color, as you can guess from the marking BL - Blue. In total, several color options are provided, but blue is perhaps the most attractive. The material from which the headphones are assembled is high-quality plastic.
The headband is made as standard, without lining. The design is not too rigid, but if you listen to music for a long time, then most likely the cups will begin to put pressure on your ears and cause discomfort. There is no folding design here, which, of course, is a minus.
The ear pads of the SHB3075BL are quite soft. The filler, as always, is foam rubber, but the top coating is painted leatherette. As for the cups, they have a matte finish and are devoid of any pattern or texture. All controls are traditionally located on the right cup.
Here are: volume buttons, the Start / Pause button, which also allows you to pick up / hang up the phone, then the microUSB port is located in the middle, after which there is a Bluetooth pairing activation button, a microphone hole and an on / off button with a small LED.
The buttons themselves are not too big and have a fairly tight course, which can cause some problems when pressed.

In general, everything is quite familiar. Differences with the previous model are minimal, but looking ahead, I want to note that these headphones are cheaper.
Sound quality
Philips SHB3075BL does not have any special problems in sound quality. Mid frequencies are heard very well. The same can be said of the tall ones. Bass deserves special praise, which, thanks to BASS + technology, is very dense and saturated here. Fans of hip-hop, dubstep and other musical genres where bass dominates will be satisfied.
What consumers say
Reviews of Philips SHB3075BL Bluetooth headphones show that the company turned out to be quite successful, but still there are a couple of negative points. The first is the lack of a folding mechanism, which forces owners to wear headphones around their neck or put them in a backpack, because they will not fit in a small handbag. The second minus is a slightly harsh headband, which does not allow listening to music for a long time, because the cups begin to put pressure on the ears.
What time is it estimated?
Today, you can buy Philips Bass Blue Bluetooth headphones from 3000 to 3200 rubles, which is not so much. The model clearly justifies its cost, but the lack of a folding mechanism can make you look in the direction of competitors.
Total
Philips SBH3080 and SBH3075 Bluetooth wireless headphones are pretty good and high-quality models that have both pros and cons, even if they are insignificant. Both models hold the battery well and will allow you to enjoy your favorite music for 10-12 hours, but it is unlikely that this can be done due to the hard headband. The sound quality is quite decent, especially in the second model, and the first is suitable for more unpretentious listeners. One way or another, the headphones fully justify their cost, albeit slightly overpriced.
