- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2025Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseThese Philips SHP2500/10 Hi-Fi Headphones are fantastic for TV watching and home audio. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced, with deep bass and crisp highs. The long cable is a huge plus, allowing plenty of movement without feeling restricted.
The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, even for extended use. The adjustable headband and cushioned ear cups provide a good fit without pressure.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for affordable, high-quality wired headphones for TV or music
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2024Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseMy grandmother was getting to the state where she was finding it hard to hear the TV and read subtitles.
These headphones fit perfectly over the head and allowed her to listen clearly to the TV.
The cable is really long on these so you can sit a fair distance away in comfort. It also has a volume control wheel at the headphone end.
These cover the ears so reduce external noise but are not noise cancelling.
Just good old fashioned over ear headphones.
Good quality like you would expect from Philips. I would buy these again!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2016Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseThese headphones are amazing. The only downside is the very long cable. I'm on my third pair, due to stepping on the cable and ripping it out of the headphones themselves. However my latest pair, which I purchased back in 2010 are still going. I knew I'd had them a while but I didn't realise it was 6 years, THAT'S how great these headphones are. The sound could be louder BUT it has great bass and for it's price I really can't ask for anything more.
They are great value for money and these headphones have managed to survive 6 years heavy usage and 5 house moves and are STILL going. And yes, I am writing this review 6 years later, so it is nearly time to replace my current pair, as I noticed the cable has split. But six years an amazing length of any headphones of mine to last, for the extent I use them in.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2021Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseI think these are excellent TV headphones. They provide super sound quality, and I like that they have a generous 6 metres of cable on them - saving you the inconvenience and expense of buying an additional cable. The cups are large enough to cover your ears, and so help to to make the most of the audio reaching your ears, whilst blocking out any unwanted peripheral sounds. I wasn't particularly bothered about having an inline volume control, but the cable is fitted with one, and I have no complaints about its function - it works absolutely fine. The 3.5mm audio jack on the end of the cable will fit into most TV, Laptop, radio, mobile phone, or iPod sockets, but a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adaptor is included in the package should you need it.
I actually got these Philips headphones to replace a pair of far more expensive Sennheiser ones, whose pads were shot after many years of usage - unfortunately, spares were no longer available. I daily use headphones connected up to my TV - mainly so as not to disturb my wife, who tends to go to bed early. The other reason though is that the sound quality is far superior to that which comes out of the TV's inbuilt speakers. This means that on action movies etc you get a truly immersive experience - if you turn the lights off, it's almost as good as being in the cinema! It goes without saying that these headphones are a godsend when it comes to watching music performances. Its also worth mentioning that those who have hearing difficulties, or those that sometimes find the dialogue on TV dramas/movies muffled, will benefit from the sharper, clearer sound quality that they'll hear when wearing these. Really folks, if you want to invest in a set of decent headphones that you primarily wish to use for TV viewing, then you can't go wrong with buying yourself a pair of these Philips ones - I'm more than pleased with mine. Many thanks for checking out my review, I hope you found it of use.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2025Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseI had high hopes for the Philips Audio SHP2500/10 headphones, but unfortunately, they didn’t live up to expectations. While the long cable is a convenient feature, especially for TV use, the overall sound quality is underwhelming. The audio lacks depth, with weak bass and tinny highs, making it less enjoyable for both music and dialogue.
The build quality also feels quite cheap, with a lightweight plastic design that doesn’t inspire confidence in durability. The ear cushions are not particularly comfortable for extended use, and the fit isn’t secure, which can be annoying.
While the price might seem attractive, the performance is just not up to par. I’d recommend looking for alternatives if you’re after good sound quality and comfort.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2024Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseI got these for my elderly parents use on thier television, but the audio is terrible. i have brilliant hearing and even on full volume you can hardly hear what is being said or even enjoy music. its a shame as overall the headset is comfy and the 6m wire brilliant for anyone who wants to walk around. The audio is so poor and low, it renders the heahphones useless.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2016Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseThese were exactly what I wanted. I watch TV in bed a lot. I have tried a number of wireless headphones which have been useless not to mention expensive. I am quite happy to go back to using headphones on a cable if I can have a clean audio feed from my TV. They come with 10 metres of cable which is long enough for what I needed, but it was also easy enough to get an extension lead to give me a bit more. These are comfy to wear, closed ear so they don't disturb anyone else, so I can watch telly all night if I want to without feeling guilty. The sound quality is very good. There are no controls to boost treble or bass but I haven't felt it necessary anyway. Good purchase, and I am confident they will last longer than all the other radio ones I have gone through.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2024Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseGood sound. Cables need to be more robust.

Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseEn général, le casque est très bon. Confortable sur les oreilles. Le seul bémol, le son n'est pas très fort. Même avec le contrôleur du volume au maximum, le son est bas. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai mis un 4 étoiles.

Colour Name: Black, SilverVerified PurchaseNulla da dire sono delle ottime cuffie, hanno un cavo lungo, sono comode e ottime nella qualità del suono.
La mia esperienza con il prodotto è stata positiva, il prezzo è del tutto economico e sono di buona qualità, li uso in camera da letto per l'ascolto della TV, il sistema di giro completo sull'asse degli auricolari mi permette di usarle dall' esterno, cioè senza mettere l'architetto in testa.
