First Thoughts:

When I saw it first time I was like OMG :O what a huge box.



I opened it & then saw those super sexy looking huge Headphones.

They look awesome.

I put them on my ears and they were so big & comfortable that I did not remove then since that time. :hap2:

Testing:

I tested these headphones with every kind of music I had at every volume level and no distortion at all even at full volume.

The bass was excellent too.

The sound is very loud and clear too.

Final Thoughts:

These are the best headphones I have used in my life till now.

I recommend these to each and every one with a budget of 1.5k or less.

Excellent quality headphones.

I salute Philips for making these & Chaos & many other TE members for recommending these headphones to me.

you should have commented on my review first. :no: :no: :no:
 
sorry buddy.... the review was really good... next time i have say 1.2k for buying a headphone i would buy this...
 
Wow Udit, Very Concise And Good Review :).

Are these comfortable enough??Cos I had the chance to try out the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and they werent comfortable enough (One of the reasons cud be that they are closed/noise cancelling).

Where can I buy them guys??In desperate need of some good headphones :no:

Reps to Udit :)

i could not find any cons.

need a audiophile man to test it.
 
Can Anyone tell me abt the availability of these in Hyderabad or some online link for the purchase??Would be helpful :).
 
Bought this! Udit's review is true to every word i must say!

Listening to music on these just gives off a 'totally' different effect than those heard from normal headphones. A must for any audiophile. I'll rate these 5 stars as well :hap2:
