Been trying out a new set of in-ear headphones recently sent over by Philips. It's not yet been released locally (Philips SHE8005, SHE8010) but I am told will be out in stores in a month or two. While almost all of the in-ear headphones I used before were solely dedicated to music players, the Philips SHE8005 comes with a mic attachment along the wires so you can also use it for taking phone calls. Tried it with a phone to make a phone call and while the voice on the other line is quite clear, I kind of found it awkward to hold up the mic the whole time we were having a conversation (it's a minor discomfort with all earphones with built-in mics so I'm not complaining). Coming out in a month or two, the Philips SHE8005 will retail for about Php1,399 -- a very decent price for a very capable earphones. Disclosure: Philips gave this and another on-ear headphones (SHL1700) to me for free. The Philips Fidelio X1 is a premium-grade headphone made with high-end materials and will surely entice audiophiles by simply looking at it. It falls on the open-back category which we’re a fan of, so read on as we excitedly take a look at this top-of-the-line pair of cans from Philips.
