What Buyers Say
Philips TAH4205
78 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The Philips H4205BK/00 headphones are generally well-liked for their sound quality, battery life, and comfort, especially given the affordable price. However, a significant issue with low microphone volume during calls has been reported, making them less suitable for office use. The build uses plastic, and the sound profile leans bass-heavy, but for music and casual listening, most users find them a great value.
Pros

- Comfortable design
- Effective noise isolation

Cons
- Low microphone volume during calls
- Plastic build feels cheap
- Bass-heavy sound profile
