Good sound Convenient folding design Cheap plastic construction Background noise in silence Weak size adjuster on the arm The track switching mechanism is not very convenient  Alexandr Koval': use Philips TAH5205 few months |
Commented a month ago. The bracket broke, not a warranty case. Wrapped it with the legendary duct tape. Then the plastic started to crack at the mounting points. They fell off the table, still work but don't produce sound. Everything inside is intact. Headphones to the trash after 3 months. Money down the drain. No quality, no warranties on the product  Ivan Tonkoholos: use Philips TAH5205 few months |
Everything would be good, but the plastic on the earphones would be worse than filth. For 2 months, the shackle broke and cracks appeared in the areas of reinforcement - quality Ivan Tonkoholos: use Philips TAH5205 few months |
Phillips products have always been of good quality at a reasonable price. The TAH5205 full-size headphones, which hit the market in the summer of 2021, are no exception. Convenient, practical and inexpensive model immediately fell in love with users. Let's see what.
Construction and design
Headphones are made of nice-looking and touch matte plastic in black or white. The assembly is solid, nothing creaks, no backlash, at least at first. The wide headband and leatherette ear cushions do not squeeze the head and ears, everything is easily adjustable, the fit is very comfortable, put it on and forgot after 5 seconds.
Add here a folding design, a detachable 3.5 mm cable that is comfortable in length, a USB-C charging port, and we get a very nice and ergonomic headset for every day.
Management and communication
Headphones quickly pair with the device, moreover, they remember a lot of connections, and the latter is given priority. Management is simple. All buttons and connectors are located on one bowl. This is a multifunctional button for switching tracks and managing calls, a volume rocker, power buttons, bass boost, USB and mini-jack connectors, and a light indicator. The latter, by the way, has digital echo and noise suppression, which makes phone calls quite high quality. The interlocutor hears you perfectly, especially in a quiet and calm place.
Sound
Despite the support of only the standard SBC codec, the sound in Bluetooth headphones is very good and the unpretentious listener will be generally satisfied. All the same, 40-mm emitters with neodymium magnets do their job. For those who will not have enough bass and attack in compositions, the Bass Boost mode will help. Well, lovers of a more natural sound will be able to appreciate its quality over the wire.
battery life
Headphones show good battery life — up to 29 hours at a volume level of 60%, if the bass boost mode is not enabled, and somewhere up to 20 with it. A full charge will take about 2 hours, but a fast one will take only 15 minutes. During this time, we managed to charge the device that ran down somewhere by 15% or 3-4 hours of work, which could not but please.
In general, Philips TAH5205 made a positive impression. Solid, ergonomic, cute, with good sound and battery life. For $60 you can't ask for anything better.
The headphones have good sound, but there is a background noise when nothing is playing, something like a ticking at about a one-second interval, which is not audible when listening to music.
The package includes a type-c cable and an aux, but it's a 3-pin, so it won't transmit microphone sound, or maybe it can, I'm not sure, I haven't checked with a 4-pin.
In the fifth month, I noticed two cracks in the casing near the folding hinges.
I am now convinced that it's better not to buy combined over-ear headphones cheaper than $100.
