Head Office:
The CitiScape Downtown can be easily adjusted in length and can thus be adapted to the head height. Unfortunately it is not variable in width. For my head the headset fits quite well, especially during normal walking, he is very well. However, when running or cycling, I realized that he slips a bit on the head. 4 of 5 points.
Comfort:
The headset feels its soft padding very pleasant on the head and on the ears. If you have the headphones on your ears longer, earpieces and headphones are quite warm, possibly may be due to the material (leatherette?). Here is Schwitzgefahr what could be improved. 3 of 5 points.
Insulation:
Exterior noise is shielded well and also hear your music outsiders only when you set the volume really high. 5 of 5 points.
Manageability:
The headset can be in the length easily and well adjusted. A plus point is still that the cable is not wrinkled. I would have wished me a switch on the cable, with which you can switch back and forth between different songs and adjust the volume. This in my opinion is a must and even standard on many cheaper headphones. 3 of 5 points.
Switching between music and calls:
A big drawback: The umswitchen between music and phone calls is achieved through the integrated switch on the cable to my phone calls are not blocked without my help or I can not accept it in spite of pressing the switch. My friend had with his cell phone (both smartphones from Samsung) the gleichte problem. If you consider that the headset has been specially developed for smart phones, but this is very disappointing. 0 of 5 points.
Sound quality:
The sound quality of the headphones is very good! With respect to this point I was fully convinced of the headphones. Here you'll find absolutely nothing to complain about. The sound is clear, clean and pleasant very well reproduced without clicking noises :) Also bass and high sounds are. 5 of 5 points.
Packaging and Equipment:
The Philips comes in a beautiful package, therefore, nominated by the functions of the headset. The list could in my opinion be a little clearer, as the brand Jury Manual. In addition, it would be desirable, in addition to the headphones provide an explanatory Storage Case. It is good that the design through the transparent packaging is very good visible. 3 of 5 points.
CONCLUSION:
The Philips CitiScape Downtown is a headphone with plus and minus points. He knows how to convince with its urban design and its very good sound. The more regrettable is the non-functioning Umswitchschalter between music and phone calls and the material of the ear cup for me. Too bad also that a switch to regulate the volume and umswitchen between different songs missing. All in all I would give the model 3 of 5 points. For those interested, the question arises, what features you find important in a headset. Is it all about the sound quality of these headphones achieved a very good result. In other features, he cuts off rather moderate.
