Editorial note

The Philips SHM2100U headphones stand out for their lightweight and ergonomic design, weighing only 0.48 kg, making them comfortable for prolonged use. Their audio quality is appreciable, with a sensitivity of 102 dB and a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, although the latter may disappoint audiophiles looking for a richer sound experience.

In terms of value for money, the Philips SHM2100U are favorably positioned, particularly due to their quality microphone and practical connectivity. The provided documentation, including a user manual and a technical sheet, also facilitates their use. Overall, these headphones represent a solid option for users looking for a functional product, despite some limitations in terms of design and connectivity.
