PHILIPS SHS3200BK/37 Flexible Earhook Headphones, Black

Update 2/8/16: I’ve now been using my “earhooks” for almost two months. I still like them a whole lot; however, there are a couple things I noticed and wanted to add to my review.Firstly, I have periodically experienced a static zap in my ears when unplugging from my devices (iPad Air2, iPhone 6s, Macbook Pro) while keeping the earhooks on. The hooks are not easy to get on and off. Thus, if I need to disconnect from my device for a moment, I sometimes leave earpieces on my head and unplug at the device, tucking the cord end in my pocket. The zapping seems to happen when the atmosphere is staticky and the bare metal jack touches something with a charge (like my sweater or my husband). Kerpowie! I’m more careful now about how I disconnect the jack and making sure the jack is tucked away safely while I’m walking around.Secondly, the sound from the earpieces is readily perceived by others at moderate volumes. This is because the earpieces don’t actually go *in* the ear canal, but rest just outside, which allows some sound to escape. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but was a bit of a surprise when I thought I was being all sneaky but my husband could hear everything I was listening to. ;)Even with these caveats, I still think that at under 10 samoleans these little guys are a good value. I really like the sound, they’re very comfortable, and they are the only inexpensive headphones I have that don’t fall out.Original Review:Holy moly, I have finally found it: cheap headphones that sound decent and—most importantly to me—don’t fall outta my ears! Wow. I have them on right now. And I totally love them.My ears are… I don’t know. Alien ears. Toddler ears. Not normal adult human ears, apparently. Because I have never ever EVER found a set of earbuds/headphones that didn’t simply drop out of my ears—or hurt. In-ear buds hurt me. Even the smallest size inserts are painful. I’ve also tried the over-ear form factor a few times without success. The speaker was always aimed in a way that I could not hear the sound easily.This has been my experience: brief bouts of hopeful experimentation with looooong stretches of disappointment and resignation. Every once in awhile I get sad and try a new set of headphones just to see if they aren’t entirely horrible on me. These Philips headphones were a gamble I figured would disappoint like all the rest. (Do I sound bitter? Dang right I am.) I was afraid to be too hopeful at this price point. I am so delighted to tell you, however, that my very low expectations have been happily blown to bits. TO BITS. These Philips “earhook” style phones are soooo comfy. And I can waggle my head all around without them falling out! Heck, they don’t even move. Huzzah!Because the speaker is aimed well for my tiny ear canals, I can hear the music really well. Even the bass parts sound pretty dang good. Certainly amazingly well for this price.The only niggle is that I wish there was a volume control on the cord. I’m still very happy with them, though. If you are similarly afflicted with weirdo ears, I’d encourage you to give these a try. Good luck!

I’ve purchased these headphones numerous times over the years and this latest version are my new favorites. The rubber ear hooks have always worked well for me – regular ear buds don’t stay in my ear when I’m cycling, skiing or trail running – and this version is no exception. The difference in this latest order is the sound quality. Previous versions had rubber cones that inserted into the ear and used a pipe system for bass, which worked pretty well overall. These new ones have a more traditional look, no rubber cones on these, just a traditional speaker look, but the bass seems stronger and the sound quality overall seems better as well. Very pleased with this purchase and will continue to buy them.

The sound quality is surprisingly good for such inexpensive earphones. Better than other brands I have tried. They are also a good fit, even with glasses. I wear them at the gym most every day.

I love this headset so much I have reordered several more to keep where I need them (car, bedroom, office, living room for multiple devices).

I use to have those bulky headsets that would press on my TBI’s and cause massive headaches and pain. So when i changed over to these ear buds i got to say they are perfect for someone like me. I have a arm bar mice hooked to my desk and i can just hook the buds to it when not in use. Perfect fit for my streaming and gaming needs.
