Philips HE592 Surround Sound Ear Buds (White)

Product Description

From the engineers at Philips come tiny speakers with great big, powerful sound. This patented, reflected-speaker design creates a virtual surround sound effect that lets you get every nuance from your favorite tunes.

Features:

An asymmetric cabling system makes these extremely comfortable and convenient to wear; a FlexiGrip connection prevents cable damage. Slip these tiny earbuds in your ears and experience full-sound music – the way it's meant to sound!

Amazon.com Product Description

An ideal complement to portable DVD players and laptops with built-in DVD drives, this pair of ear-bud surround sound headphones simulates the home theater experience whether you're listening privately on a plane, in a hotel room, or even at the park. Each bud features a single 15 mm neodymium speaker driver with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. But when combined, the buds incorporate Philips' patented virtual surround technology to create a rich, multichannel-like environment. Though it's not true surround sound, it's as close as a listener will get through a two-channel source, especially one that fits comfortably inside the ear canals. The buds come with a flexible, molded-rubber carrying case, along with a 3.9-foot cord that should be long enough for most applications. The cord's flexi-grip end connection lithely responds to rough handling, while its 24k gold-plated plug ensures the best possible signal transfer for a better overall sound.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Sound, But Not For Everyone.......2007-10-12

The biggest flaw for all earbuds, from the super-expensive Bose to the affordable Phillips or Sony brands, is that they're marketed as one-size fits all, one-sound fits all.

I've purchased nearly a dozen different earbuds in the past two years (Sony, Koss, Phillips, iPod, EarHugger, Plantronics, and more), trying to find the right combination of comfort and sound. Not everyone's ears are the same size, and not everyone likes bass-heavy or treble-heavy sound. Each pair I bought sounds and fits completely different.

The ones that work for me are these Phillips earbuds, and the EarHugger Platinum Series/Air Cushion (#EH-1260AC) the sound quality is a bull's-eye for the music I listen to. Guitars are front and center, and the vocals, bass, drums and other instruments sound big and completely balanced. Not tinny, not drowning in bass, but great clarity and full separation. They also don't fall out of my ears easily.

That is not to say that they will work for everyone. I guarantee they won't fit everyone's ears, and they won't hit everyone's perfect target sound.

Both pairs cost around $20, which convinces me that earbuds are an entirely subjective purchase. Just because you pay $100+ for a pair of earbuds doesn't mean you're automatically going to get a higher-quality listening experience.

It's a different story for large, over-the-ear headphones, like the Sony MDR-7506 (easily the best sounding headphones for the price), you almost always get what you pay for.

So to sum up, I love these Phillips earbuds, and the price is a steal, but I wouldn't argue with someone who doesn't like them. It's the nature of the earbud beast...

3 out of 5 stars Good sound quality, dysfunctional and oddly unique headphones, NOT recommended........2007-09-21

I've had these headphones for about a year now. The cord and earbuds are still in good condition, except the connector thing is slightly jagged so I have to put it in slightly weird. I am impressed by the sound quality. Everything is so vibrant. It takes a while to get used to the sound, the sound may not be what the typical person is used to. Don't be fooled by "virtual surround sound." I think it's just a fancy name. My biggest concern is the comfort. The rubber ear plug things that attach to the heads are dysfunctional, so I wear the headphones without it, except they heads are so large it takes a while to find that snug place. The edge of the head is hard and rubs against the side of the ear. I like how the headphones wrap around the side and behind the neck, they tend to get less in the way unless you're sharing one ear with another person.

I don't use my Philips headphones anymore. They are broken and they weren't too comfortable to begin with. I do not recommend these headphones.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Headphones Ever.......2007-06-25

If you, painfully, jam the Philips HE592 Surround Sound Ear Buds in your ear well enough to use them, (until they fall out) they don't sound bad.

Philips may have been testing a new torture device, when they came up with these ear buds.

The main cable divides (as usual) into the right and left sides. However with the Philips HE592 Surround Sound Ear Buds the cables are thin / whimpy and one is much longer than the other. It Does Not Work, to have one side longer than the other. I guess they figured it would be better to have all the weight of the main cable to be on one side (hanging on one uncomfortable ear bud) and have the longer ear bud wrap it's thin / whimpy cable around your head.

Another horrible idea that Philips had was to make the plastic part that goes in your ear canal a perfect cylinder. (Your ear canal is not a cylinder.) The part also has a 90 deg edge on it. So, although the part is covered in a plastic/rubber piece, the headphones hurt and will not stay in your ear, No Matter What. They fall out constantly. (Even when you're just sitting there.)

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

1 out of 5 stars Ridiculously uncomfortable, and bad sound.......2007-06-18

Steer clear of these terrible earphones.

They have to be the most uncomfortable I have ever used. I can't use them for more than 20 minutes without my ears aching. That's if they manage to stay in that long - any slight movement and they fall out. The large round silver part prevents them from fitting into the ears properly. What size ears are they made for?

The sound quality is mediocre, and the case is impossible to figure out! How this terrible product ever got past QA and into production I will never know

I've had them 2 days and I'm going to try as hard as I can to get my money back. My ears are sore!

5 out of 5 stars excellent for the price....and so comfy too!!.......2007-05-21

A few months ago I purchased these from the FYE near my house. When I put them in my ears, they not only sounded great, but they actually stayed in my ears. Every other pair of headphones/earbuds not only move around but they hurt my ears as well. These can stay in my ears for hours at a time and not hurt when I take them out. In fact, I sometimes have to pop my ears from the suction it causes from time to time. Guess that's why they stay where they belong.

Now as for the sound quality, these little things sound just as good as an expensive pair of professional headphones. I thought about buying the $100 bose headphones that seem to be advertised on every single corner but thought better of it. Glad that I didn't . These sound so much better. The bass, treble and midrange all sound wonderful. No distortion when you turn up the volume either. Certainly the best pair of headphones that I have bought. Just do yourself a favor. Put a little glue on the rubber so that they don't fall out. Not like they do, but just in case they do. These do come with two extra pieces of rubber incase they fall out. Enjoy these!
