Philips CitiScape Uptown Full Size Headphones 4.5 5 2 2
Uptown and Upmarket Another idiosyncratic headphone which philips appear to be so expert at making in recent times. This time the oddity lie in the sensitivity and cable, Ill come to those later. Style, comfort, Durability and Portability: Philips have kept the construction simple. Aluminium frame running through the headband supplemented with tough plastic for the capsules with ample faux leather padding. Very lightweight which affords hours of listening pleasure. I feel they are best suited to home listening. However this is where the oddity lay. The cable is fixed to the capsule and is of a fairly short length with a 3.5mm jack only, though it does have volume control and control talk for IOS devices. Sound Quality: These cans provide an accurate representation of your music. Treble is very crisp, highlighting percussive instruments and symbols very well. The bass isnt wooly, it feels tight and controlled though not overly dominant or rich. Between these two ranges is where the philips fall short, the midrange appears to get lost in the void and your presented with quite a clinically cold sound. On the whole though a pleasing accurate presentation. Conclusion: On the whole good value for money, well built and good sound. However, Be aware that portable mp3 players may lack the power to drive these well. Especially post EU volume capped Ipods. 20 February 2013
perfect present for music mad husband ! These were a present for my husband- he loves them ! Very good sound and very comfortable and light to wear . Best thing about them is I can not hear his music and he can not hear me ! ! They are made of good quality leather ,very soft and retro styling. 17 July 2012
