Most of the representatives of the Philips SHE series are old―school earbuds or vacuum capsules, which reigned on the market until wireless TWS earbuds came on the scene. They are decorated in a restrained style without pretentious decorative details or bright colours, so they will look equally appropriate in the ears of a teenager on a bicycle, and a man in a strict suit. And it wasn't our idea, at the IFA 2017 exhibition in Berlin, the new SHE4305 Bass+ model was advertised by an imposing tattooed guy in a three-piece suit.


In most cases, the designs are made soundly: the cable is usually durable, the L-shaped plug is not afraid of bending, and the headphone case will live for more than one year with careful handling. Connection options — exclusively by wire, TWS and Bluetooth-Philips produces models under other flags. Almost all models are equipped with a built-in microphone for voice communication. There are no noisemakers in them, so when talking on the street, the interlocutor plunges into the street noise and hears little. Another thing is indoors.

The most popular among buyers is the SHE4305 Bass+ model, beloved by many bassheads. According to the passport, the headphones can reproduce frequencies from 9 Hz and give out a clear, deep and well-accented bass, which is unusual to hear in vacuum headphones for $ 20. A great option for listening to hip-hop, drum and bass, techno and any modern pop music with an abundance of bass. For a reason, they are often advised as an alternative to the "popular" vacuum models Xiaomi Piston, Panasonic RP-HJE125, Sony MDR-EX255AP and JBL T110.
