Philips SHL3060 DJ Style On Ear Headphones - $15 @ Harvey Norman

160

Fairly cheap for these by the looks. $25 at Kogan, $34 at Domain. 4.6 Stars on Amazon. Might be OK for those wanting a cheap set of On-Ears.

    IMHO Philips are the king of affordable 'sleeper' headphones. My personal fave brand when on sale.
    Thanks OP.

    • Yeah I agree. Their $5-$10 In-Ear's are amazing for the price.

  • cant go wrong at that price for sure
    great for kids, can never have enough of these @ $15

    And as expected a freq response that goes farther into the low end than headphones 4x the price.

    10 - 22000

    Most do the dreaded (to me) 20 - 20000 range. Like my tastes in mature material….I require more bottom than that to get excited.

      Please explain this in English. Thanks.

    • And what's this pls?

        Sorry all. I'll 'splain.

        All speakers have a 'frequency range' that is typically listed in the specs or on the box.
        For instance, these headphones have a 10 - 22,000 HZ (hertz) frequency range.

        To over-simplifyL

        The lower the number on the left (10 in the case of these headphones) the more bass or 'bottom end' the speakers can play.
        The higher the number on the right (22,000 for these cans) the more high frequencies (treble) the speaker can play.

        Theoretically, most headphones are 20 - 20,000 Hz. The logic is that the human ear can't hear frequencies below 20 Hz on the low end and and above 20,000 Hz on the high end.

        As a former DJ and 'pro-amateur' sound enthusiast I won't touch any headphones that show 20 - 20000.
        In my PERSONAL experience, a headphone that only goes as low as 20hz on the low end doesn't have that deeeeep punchy bass that I love when I listen to hip-hop, EDM or even good classical music.

        On the flip side, headphones that top out at 20,000hz on the high end don't sound good to me either as it doesn't sound as 'crisp'.

        Philips consistently sell headphones that dip well below and above the 'normal' frequency range…at a MUCH lower cost.
        The difference in sound, to ME is IMMEDIATELY clear. Especially on the bottom bass end.
        There are MANY MANY MANY other factors but for me, the freq range is the start. You can't hear what your headphones can't play. End of story.

        I bought these cheap: http://www.dicksmith.com.au/earphones-headphones/pioneer-se-…
        and I love them. (If you can get the fit right…)
        You'll notice the frequency range of these Pioneers range is 5 - 23,000.

        Hope that helped.

          …you'd know that quoted frequency response is an absolute load of bollocks.

          It's the response that matters, not the limits.

          The difference in sound, to ME is IMMEDIATELY clear. Especially on the bottom bass end

          Sounds like your ears are rooted after all that amateur DJ'ing and pro enthusiasm that you've done over the years.

          If you like bass, then buy "bass heavy" 'phones. These will have a bump in the response at the lower frequencies.

          On the flip side, headphones that top out at 20,000hz on the high end don't sound good to me either as it doesn't sound as 'crisp'.

          You sir, are totally full of it :-D

    I used them - they're OK for the price. The only issue I have is the cable is quite short, so good for walking with, but bad when using with my PC.
