Philips SHP1900

I was planning to buy a headphone for quite a while. I listen to music for hours at stretch and that too at high volume which had left many people running for cover. Danger of going deaf notwithstanding, i like my music loud. So the other Day I went to Nehru place and decided to find one. I wanted comfortable cans with decent quality of sound. The budget was not huge so my choices were limited.

Philips SHP1900 looked comfortable and at INR 550 It fit my bill and specification. So I bought one.

Test:

Album: Tempo of the Damned
Artist: Exodus

I cranked up the stereo and Intro of “Scar Spangled Banner” pierced into my right ear. After few seconds I Played “Blacklist” and BOY! I was blown away. This piece of equipment sounds awesome. The sound is bit muffled,(I liked it) mid-range is sweet and bass and highs are quite good. Much better than I had expected. The overall build quality is good. Doesn’t weigh much. The plastic band does not does not feel like its gonna crush your skull even after hours of use. Overall I like these very much and I would suggest it to anyone who wants good sound quality at cheap price.
