Philips SHC5100 / 10 Wireless HiFi Headphone (32 mm speaker drivers, self-adjusting inner headband) Black / Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Philips SHC5100 is a cheaper wireless headphones, could suffice for use on a PC, if necessary. When the PC well austestet the sound settings when player and PC sound, you might get the thing out a sound that is OK. To 25 the thing is then OK, but only on the PC where you can tinker with the equalizers. At the stereo headphones is a disaster. Lack of sonority, no highs, no bass. Dull 10 Euro sound, as if corrugated between the ears and the headphones. Or, as an old mono radio in medium wave reception. The typical low-waste, which is now plugged in to PC-like devices, and in general only generated via software equalizer something like sound. - So: almost good enough for the major desktop PC, but definitely not for the stereo / hi-fi system. No way !!!
Also on tubes TV suffers interference that thing and generates an intolerable whistling. Could go on flat-screen TVs might.
Above 25 and for midi tower stereo system so oriented to better the Sony MDR-RF810. The Sony comes very much from the time of hi-fi systems and offers there also appropriate sonority, like in the GGS. But for PC-Equalizer Software not really.
The severity and quality of the construction material is felt in Sony vs. Philips something like the passenger on the back seat of a Mercedes in comparison to a Fiat Panda. The Sony is better, harder, more luxurious, therefore. So sick as the Mercedes humming, compared to the Fiat Panda, as well as the Sony buzzing better.
One does not have to manually set the size of his own head at Philips. Philips has built in suspenders that an appropriately tighten the thing in the turnip. This exerts some pressure might be used to. The supplied AAA batteries a "short sleeve" for charging the headset, not the negative, but from the side slightly above. This has been for decades, many manufacturers used (also Beyerdynamic). What selbige could gradually wean times !!! - A purchased in the supermarket AAA battery can not be charged internally, but only "short sleeve" battery pack can continue with Philips. In practice, the means that the normal lateral insulation battery does not completely goes down to the bottom of the negative pole, but about 4 mm in front of the negative pole of the battery is still sideways silver. There is where the lateral Auflademechanik. Inserting the batteries can be from the outside (ie no unscrewing the padding inside). - The radio antenna is a short wire antenna, like the clock radio, but where one pushes a plastic tube over it and inserting it in the transmitter base. As inexpensive as it sounds, so the lummelige thing then. But it is therefore unbreakable. When fall down is because nothing broken. A real bamboo bender. People who like to cancel antennas are on the safe side.

Overall, the transmission range of the Sony MDR-RF810 reaches a little further than the Philips. But, inside the apartment, sparking the Philips enough (except the tube TV and near DECT phones).

I have contacted an electrical engineer and asked him why a HiFi Headphones kabbelt with the PC and equalizer software, a PC headset, however, does not. The then spoke to me of impedances and resistances that a hi-fi headphones simply needs more power than a PC headset. Therefore, a Hi-Fi headphones on a PC output was possibly quieter, because it's a 08/15-PC-output (without a lot of power) simply does not bring. Aha. Stereo HiFi needs more power, has any other impedances.
My experience: The Sony kabbelt partially (just like Beyerdynamic) with the PC and its software equalizer and is actually minimal quieter PC. The Philips not kabbelt with the PC and the shoe fits better there. Why the Philips with me now remains permanently on the PC and the Sony over migrates into the stereo field. But: If you like to back with the headphones between such devices and alternates, is not happy with the Philips. Fits only on the PC !!!
Short: I etikettiere the Philips as PC-compatible wireless headphones, within the meaning of cheaper but functional PC hardware, like you buy at Norma and Woolworth from Gembird and Heitech. If you like the - I use some selected products of itself - here has found that PC-cheap hardware that the Norma does not have the range.
+ Antenna shatterproof
+ Sparks enough
+ Sufficiently energy-efficient (battery life)
+ Lightweight
- Useless for 90% of all conceivable use Wecke because unbearably bad sound !!!
What has always mattered most in speakers? - The Sound! Here: Thumb Down!
What has always counted on the radio? - Good Wireless telegraphy! Here Thumbs up.
But what good is good radio when you have a priori rubbish sound to the ears ...
