PHILIPSPH805 Active Noise Canceling (ANC) Over Ear Wireless Bluetooth Performance Headphones w/Hi-Res Audio, Comfort Fit and 30 Hours of Playtime (TAPH805BK)

Highs:- Excellent noise canceling performance- Really nice fit and finish, comfortable to wear- Excellent build quality and durability (hinges seem very sturdy)- Easy to use, with very functional touch control- Good design, not intrusive or overly flashy (sophisticated in my eyes)- Easy to connect and Google Assistant functions are great (i am using a Pixel 3A XL)- Updated firmware (auto prompted me this) upon connecting the first time- Versatile folding positions- Awareness mode (so I can be aware of the surrounding without having to take these off)- Super fast charging timesLows:- Not the lightest but understandable with the quality of materials they are using- MicroUSB and not USB-C- Power button sometimes take a bit longer to shut off (have to hold down more than 3 seconds)- 2.5mm jack in instead of 3.5mm- Not the most bass heavy (this is both a good and a bad, depending on taste)Summary:These are surprisingly a great pair of ANC headphones that performs just as well as the Sony WH-1000XM3, the gold standard in ANC headphones, while costing almost $100 less than the Sony! It isn't as functional when it comes to tuning its audio profiles but in terms of everyday usability and its ANC performance, it gets a 9/10 from me.Build quality is amazing for a sub $200 headphone, the leather, memory foam, hinges, and even the paint on the earcups are textured perfectly so that these should last a good few years of heavy usage with no worries.Audio quality is above average but it does lack the smartphone software that allows you to adjust the EQ and such on the headphones but I think this can be compensated by adjusting the EQ on the music player you are using. I tried playing some FLAC on a non-amplified line using the 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable that is included, it does a great job of delivering clear highs and mids without muddles from the bass. It definitely excels at the trebles, an indication that this is great for clear conversations too. And yes, calls are extremely clear when I use this for regular phone and VOIP conversations on my phone.Connecting to the phone is easy once it is paired, turning it on does the job automatically. Pairing is easy too, hallmarks of a good BT 5.0 implementation. It even show a picture of the PH805 on my phone after I click on its name in the Bluetooth devices.There are 3 excellent party tricks that makes this an excellent steal at $180 or so.1. The 3 ways that it folds: flat fold, curl fold, and flat and curl fold (where it fits in the pouch)2. Awareness mode turns down the music and broadcasts the environmental noise so that you hear whats around you easily and can carry a conversation with the person in front of you while wearing it, which is quite fun/funny but useful on commutes3. Google Assistant: I actually started looking at my phone less and less now that I own this pair of headphones. Having Google Assistant able to read back any text messages, even messages in Line app because that function is enabled when wearing this headphone means that I can focus more on work and not get distracted by the many other things going on on my phone! And having the touch control on the earcup, without any additional markings, is a great design in nature.4th bonus party trick: its touch control is really useful for turning up and down the volume, no more trying to find the volume rocker or buttons, just swipe at the right ear-cup and it adjusts the volume, although slowly.

What a sound love it. And the phone calls sound is amazing.

I can't complain about the sound. These headphones sound really good. The only complaint is they tend to slide off of my head a bit if I lean back in a chair. That gets annoying if you're trying to kick back and relax.

I bought these to replace my Seinheiser HD 280 pros. I loved them but they were not wireless and when connected to an iPad they fell and the jack broke. I should’ve gotten them fixed by the company but now they don’t offer that service anymore, so I bought these.I use these Phillips headphones mostly when I’m flying or when I wanna watch TV late at night and my partner is asleep.I love the fact that they came with an option convertible wired jack to plug it in on international flights. Everyone else had to use the staticy cheap ines that they gave you free on the flight.The sound quality is nice. The noise canceling is pretty good. The volume controls are actually built into the side of the headphone. The bluetooth pairing is pretty easy once you know how to do it too. My only complaint is that if they’re not charged you can’t use them at all, even with the cable.For just under 100 bucks I would say that they are the best you can get for the money. Please keep in mind that you should not wear headphones for eight hours a day. You can damage your ears!These Phillips headphones also came with a semi rigid carrying case that’s very nice.I would recommend them.

Put these headphones on my wishlist when my old MPOW-059 headphones stopped working after 2 years. I was pleased with my old pair, but I thought a higher priced pair would last longer. Opened these up on Christmas day, and was really happy with them. They connected to both my laptop and phone very easily via bluetooth, and the sound quality was great! For clarification, I am no audiophile, though I have used some popular brands earbuds, such as beats and airpods. These headphones had the best sound-quality I had ever heard. The next day, after charging the headphones to full and using them with my laptop as I play games with friends, they randomly informed me "power off" and shut themselves off without me ever touching the power button. I tried to turn them back on and nothing seemed to happen. Several seconds after I let go of the power button, they come back on "power on" and go straight into "pairing mode," then the power light dies and they shut themselves off after a few seconds, without so much as a "power off." I thought maybe the battery had gone dead, though I hadn't used them nearly enough for that. I plugged them back in and waited until they charged fully but no, if anything it got worse. They wouldn't power on until quite a while after I tried to power them on, then they would go into pairing mode and shut themselves off shortly after. I found I could connect my devices to them just fine during the pairing period, but they would still shut themselves off without any warning. Then they just started turning themselves on even if I never touched the power button, only to die after a few seconds as before. Now the possessed things are sitting in their box waiting to be returned, and I can still hear the muffled "power on" and "pairing mode" at random intervals.
