Editorial note

The Philips SHB8850NC headphones stand out for their excellent sound quality, offering a wide frequency range from 10 to 22,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 105 dB. They thus guarantee an immersive listening experience, although some users may regret a lack of deep bass, particularly appreciated by fans of rich and powerful music. The battery life of these headphones is one of their main assets, with 15 hours of talk time and up to 45 hours on standby, allowing for prolonged use without frequent recharging. However, the charging time is not specified, which could be a disadvantage for those looking for a quick recharge. The in-ear design and closed acoustic system ensure listening comfort and good sound isolation. Nevertheless, this isolation can create a feeling of seclusion for some users, limiting their ability to perceive surrounding sounds, which can be problematic in certain situations. Regarding connectivity, although Bluetooth 4.0 offers a convenient wireless connection, it is now surpassed by newer versions like Bluetooth 5.0, which could restrict compatibility with recent devices. Additionally, the 1.2 m cable length may prove insufficient for some users wanting more flexibility in their movements. Overall, the Philips SHB8850NC offers good value for money considering its features, but it is important to take into account the limitations related to connectivity and cable length.
