Philips SHS391 Behind-The-Head Headphone (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)buyer beware, i know. and i read the reviews before i bought these and thought, can't be that bad right? well i'm afraid it is.
i just can't use them. they give me a headache because they pinch, just as one reviewer said, right in front of the ears, just below your temples. it's like getting a sinus headache right around where you eardrums are. and i have an average head.
philips seems to have gotten two things wrong. first the U of the band is too long, you are stuck with either forcing it into your neck or letting it ride up your ears. second, they curved the earpieces in too much, so instead of a nice U-shape, you have a C-shape with the brunt of the clasping force pinching into your temporal bone. whoever designed it must have had a very long thin head and was lying down!
not to mention, these really are ugly, not sleek and flat as you might expect from the picture they give me. if they sat right, they might look fine, but sitting rather uncomfortably on top of my ears, they really look terrible, like an explosion of white plastic under my hair.
if you already bought it and it doesn't fit you, the only consolation is that the plastic is pliable, so if you sit on it for a couple hours, that might just flatten it out a bit to be useable.. i'm very disappointed..
