UPDATE JAN 2022.Sadly, I really would like to luv this headphones, but this is not the outcome of my experience. After light use, always at home I got to say that my personal experience has not been a bed of roses.PROS: Sound quality still really good. The case is great to keep them out of dust, mine still might look as new but will tell more after. Battery still lasting long.CONS: it broke... still playing music but the pad on top start falling a part (I add an image). The presure on your head is still to much so I end with headaches or pain in skull behind my ears. Bluetooth connection is ok but when I am away like 7 or 8 mts start having problems. Earpads still stiff and not very comfortable. I really wish I found a way to exchange those, but I haven't been lucky to find a video or description how to dismantle those pads from this particular headphones; Philips do not give any kind of support on that respect so bad point for that company. Cable to listen in high quality is flat and that is ok, but the connector is small so the cable bends to close and probably will be broken very soon (I think they could design something better)In general I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS PAIR OF HEADPHONES AND I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER PAIR IN THE FUTURE. Even the sound quality is really good :-(. I read from a guy who can¡t hear BASS on this, well,I disagree but probably he like those headphones with MegaBass systems which is not my personal preference. Do not forget to use your equalizer to tune to your taste.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Perfectly packaged. It is awesome to get this beautiful (THEY ARE REALLY GOOD LOOKING) headphones with the hard case to protect them and for travel. People has been complaining about noise cancellation but mine works perfect... the only thing I do not like much is between songs I can listen little hiss from it so I rather to use it off but when are ON really blocks all noise from the street which is the way should work. So when is rush hour I turn ON and peace came to my ears...I like to listen many music genera, from barroque, to Glam or some Heavey metal, blues, jazz, rock and people critizing headphones for bass etc.. but in general you have to tune for each genera your equalizer, but is not only for each genera but also for each pair of different headphones or speakers you are going to use. For most people that is not an issue so is a personal preference.SOUND of this Philips is good.I try talking on the phone, and people said that they hear me like I was in a bucket or something like that... but to me their voices are crystal clear, but looks like my voice sound different but I did not experience that they do not understand me clear so I think works fine.Construction, materials etc... are as good as BOSE or SONY, probably this ones are more confortable to me and this ones fit better to me, earpads are super soft!!!! really confortable. The head pressure is little tight, not very disconfortable but makes me feel the pair of headphones on my head all the time.CONTROLS, I read some reviews about people having issues with their controls, well... READ THE MANUAL, is really easy and clear and works perfect as described by Philips. I do not use google assitant, mainly because you just open your mic to let google hear you whatever they can thru the mic (Probably they already doing it LOL).Another thing... Volume. Headphones have their own volume scale which is differnt from the source (phone, MAC or whatever u are using) so keep that in mind, try to protect your ears not listeing to high and learn to listen in lower mid volume so your ears need to be train for detailes (Just a personal sugestion). So If you want high volume, pump up the volume on source and headphones.I will try to update my review after the summer to see how battery last, if starts to breaking apart or moving parts start making noise or something like that. I hope this review helps you to decide to get this ones or not.Totally recomended, I got a great price, otherway I would finished buying some chinese cheap headphones.Bluethooth connection has been super relieble and can be around 10m (30ft) away from source in dofferent rooms.WOW, Bach start... got to listen this. Have a great day enjoy your music.**************************************UPDATE AFER A MONTH OF USE:**************************************Well, I wish I would like to fall in love of this headphones, but I am glad I had a chance to update my review about them. After a month of daily use I got my list and why I decide to reduce to a 4 stars my review.PROS: Battery is amazing, I only chaged once few days ago and the continue playing, will see how long the battery really last, then what is my question... Do I have to buy a new pair? Will Philips be kind to replace the battery?Sound still really good.Design is nice and most of the materials used are great.Connection has been tip top, no issues about it.I love that they came with the case, is really cool to have one with this quality.When I use with cable is also really good, and I do not hear the cable sound like on those small headphones that came with your phone.CONS: The only but very important cons I found were the earpads, mine were really confortable the first week, after that I need to constant change position of the headphones to avoid pain in my ears or my head which is no good, probably I shoud give 3 stars only but sound is really good. I do not know if I can replace those pads for different kind.The left and the right side have different shapes, left one has some bulky points on foam and are not cushing that well anymore.Material of pads is really soft, but because are leather or PU (fake leather) make them hot after long periods, but I live in a cold city so that is not a mayor concern.I don't know if pads are made of memory foam but maybe I might need different kind, probably for someone else works that is why I only take one star only, is a personal experience.If any one know how to change those pads I appreciate your comments and help.The pressure from the headphones itself is strong, so probably if you consider that you have a big head, I recomend avoid them, brand new are so soft but after days of using you will notice. I would like to give a second chance if I can change the PADS maybe that helps in my experience using this beautiful headphones.
