Editorial note

The Philips SHB9850NC headphones stand out for their excellent sound quality, offering a wide frequency range of 8 to 23,500 Hz that allows for an immersive and detailed listening experience. The built-in noise cancellation feature is a major asset, allowing you to enjoy music without external sound distractions. Additionally, the Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity ensures a fast and efficient wireless connection, with a range of 10 meters, ideal for practical everyday use. However, some drawbacks may affect the user experience. Although the noise cancellation technology is effective, it may not provide complete isolation in very noisy environments. The weight of 230 g, while acceptable, can become uncomfortable during long listening sessions. Furthermore, Bluetooth 4.0 technology, while functional, is less efficient than newer versions, which can lead to connectivity or latency issues. The 15-hour talk time may prove insufficient for heavy users, although the 45-hour standby time is a positive point. In summary, the Philips SHB9850NC offers good value for money thanks to their audio features and noise cancellation function. However, it is essential to consider the limitations regarding comfort and connectivity before making a choice.
