SHS3200WT Flexible Earhook Headphones, White

Update 2/8/16: I've now been using my "earhooks" for almost two months. I still like them a whole lot; however, there are a couple things I noticed and wanted to add to my review. Firstly, I have periodically experienced a static zap in my ears when unplugging from my devices (iPad Air2, iPhone 6s, Macbook Pro) while keeping the earhooks on. The hooks are not easy to get on and off. Thus, if I need to disconnect from my device for a moment, I sometimes leave earpieces on my head and unplug at the device, tucking the cord end in my pocket. The zapping seems to happen when the atmosphere is staticky and the bare metal jack touches something with a charge (like my sweater or my husband). Kerpowie! I'm more careful now about how I disconnect the jack and making sure the jack is tucked away safely while I'm walking around. Secondly, the sound from the earpieces is readily perceived by others at moderate volumes. This is because the earpieces don't actually go *in* the ear canal, but rest just outside, which allows some sound to escape. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but was a bit of a surprise when I thought I was being all sneaky but my husband could hear everything I was listening to. ;) Even with these caveats, I still think that at under 10 samoleans these little guys are a good value. I really like the sound, they're very comfortable, and they are the only inexpensive headphones I have that don't fall out. Original Review: Holy moly, I have finally found it: cheap headphones that sound decent and—most importantly to me—don't fall outta my ears! Wow. I have them on right now. And I totally love them. My ears are... I don't know. Alien ears. Toddler ears. Not normal adult human ears, apparently. Because I have never ever EVER found a set of earbuds/headphones that didn't simply drop out of my ears—or hurt. In-ear buds hurt me. Even the smallest size inserts are painful. I've also tried the over-ear form factor a few times without success. The speaker was always aimed in a way that I could not hear the sound easily. This has been my experience: brief bouts of hopeful experimentation with looooong stretches of disappointment and resignation. Every once in awhile I get sad and try a new set of headphones just to see if they aren't entirely horrible on me. These Philips headphones were a gamble I figured would disappoint like all the rest. (Do I sound bitter? Dang right I am.) I was afraid to be too hopeful at this price point. I am so delighted to tell you, however, that my very low expectations have been happily blown to bits. TO BITS. These Philips "earhook" style phones are soooo comfy. And I can waggle my head all around without them falling out! Heck, they don't even move. Huzzah! Because the speaker is aimed well for my tiny ear canals, I can hear the music really well. Even the bass parts sound pretty dang good. Certainly amazingly well for this price. The only niggle is that I wish there was a volume control on the cord. I'm still very happy with them, though. If you are similarly afflicted with weirdo ears, I'd encourage you to give these a try. Good luck!

I was replacing my other headphones & I had tried other kinds but I can only say these are great! They fit my ears well & the sound is amazing! I definitely recommend & will buy again 👍

I’ve been wearing these headphones for many years because they’re comfortable and fit in my ears perfectly. I don’t like all the other headphones that only go directly inside the ears. The price is reasonable because they don’t seem to last as long as they should — one earphone eventually goes bad or the cord malfunctions. I’d like the sound for music and podcasts to be a little louder but can live with it the way it is. When using the headphones while taking on the phone, the sound is better. SK tip; if you have an iPhone you will need to plug these headphones into a small adaptor plug in order for it to be compatible.

I listen to music and books on my iphone all the time. At the gym, running, in the car, outside doing yard work, rocking the baby to sleep, even going to sleep at night when I don't want to disturb my wife. I've owned numerous sets of these phillips earhook headphones over the years and love them. I just bought three more. I'm sure these are not the most high end audio experience, but that's just not what I'm after. I use the heck out of these headphones, and I know that sooner or later I'm going to break them or they're going to get just too dirty or whatever. Fine. For eight or nine dollars, these guys are exactly what I need. I've used more expensive products from Skull Candy and Sony, but I didn't see anything different to warrant being twice as expensive and I didn't like the fit as well. I REALLY like the over the ear piece. Its very unobtrusive and keeps the buds in place great. Keeps everything out of my way no matter what I am doing. I've never liked ear buds without the hook to hold in place, just find them very uncomfortable. These are especially great at the gym or running when you really don't want your headphone suddenly slipping out. My only small criticism of these is that sooner or later the rubber ring around the speaker will come off. It just will. As long as you've noticed the tiny piece has come off, you can just slip it back on. I will say that the last two pairs I owned held the rubber ring in place for quite a while, so I can't complain. I'm an adult male, don't have especially big ears. My wife wears these too and likes them. UPDATE I just had to update this review. I've been testing another brand of very high end, over the ear, similar ear buds lately. I'm sure the price of those is about five teams what these cost. I'm just completely blown away that given the choice I would still purchase THIS set of headphones.

I searched for the most comfortable earbuds. These were supposed to be it, but they hurt my ears. the Sound is good, but I do not wear the over the ear part as it pulls on the bud part causing bruising on my ear.

I wanted to switch off the regular earbuds things. The tips kept falling off and you search on the floor for the foam things. and none ever fit my ears right. annoying. Tried this, and the name philips is a standard brand name that stands the test of time, and they were very reasonably priced. I like using them, Still not perfect on fitting them fast, but I get it done. does not hurt my ears or fall off, wonderful , got another pair for backup. great price. Sound is great, I am not tech savvy or music quality smart, all i know is the music sounded wonderful and crisp

I've owned a few pairs of these, so I figured it makes sense that I write a review. The good: I find them to be very comfortable (fine-print: I don't wear glasses) Good sound quality for the money Good ear canal "breathability" (they don't "plug" the ears, as some of the silicon gasket ones do). The bad: I've owned 3 or 4 of these because I've had to replace them about 1-2x per year, and always for the same reason: the rubber "gasket" in between the silver speak outlet and the body of the headphones tends to come off after awhile. Yes, this has happened on EVERY SINGLE pair I've had. However, they are, by far, the most comfortable headphones I've owned (compared with others under $20). In all fairness, to each his own. I prefer comfort (including not having my ear canals "clogged/blocked" by the headphones. In my opinion, these headphones allow for great "breathability" in the ear canal. And the earhooks themselves aren't super stiff - in fact, I find them to have a near-perfect amount of flex - so they should conform to most ears/head for a comfortable fit (they don't press against the head or ears, but aren't so loose to fall out often). The sound quality isn't "top notch", but still good enough to use for most practical purposes. However, on that note, if you have music on loud, it is easier for people near you to hear the music (again, for $10, they're not going to be perfect). These are much more comfortable than any other earhook headphone I've tried (again, in the <$20 range), and that counts for me, even if I have to sacrifice some sound quality and longevity. To each his own. Update: got another pair a few months ago, this time the gasket did not come off, but they just suddenly stopped working today. Might not buy anymore. Update: my newest pair just had the gasket come off again. Still a good product when it's working properly, but considering that every single pair I've owned has had a problem, I can't justify a favorable review, especially considering the price tag (they used to be much cheaper. Now they are $35. WTH?!?!?!). Contacted the seller and they would not provide any sort of compensation. All things considered, I cannot justify a favorable review.

I had a pair of these for a few years that finally died due to excessive sweat and rust on the metal part (no fault of the headphones; I've had $200 wireless Sennheisers that didn't hold up as well, and all I did with those was sit on the couch and watch TV). After my last pair died, I immediately went looking for the exact same pair on Amazon. No bothering will looking for another brand, style, or price-point; these are exactly what I needed. And what I needed was a pair of simple, no-frills, corded headphones that would stay on my ears when I went running. These do exactly that. I gave the sound quality a 5, because it's as good as could be expected from headphones this size at this pricepoint. I'm no audiophile, but these sound pretty decent for what they are. Plenty good enough for exercise/running. If you're buying these, you aren't concerned too much with sound quality anyways. I love the wrap-around-the-ear style, because they're 100% secure when I'm running, whether I'm doing sprints or jogging. I have some Apple AirPods, and as much as I love those things, I wouldn't trust myself with them out on the street, as I'd constantly be worrying about them falling out of my ears and losing them in a gutter or storm drain. Bottom line: these work, they last, they sound good, and they're cheap. Can't ask for more.
