- Garbage
I required a pair of headphones for use mainly in the gym and running. Having read the reviews for Phillips SHS8000 I thought I'd give them a go. From the moment they arrived and I put them on I sensed disapointment due to the poor fitting. Even just walking in them I find that im constantly adjusting them. Then I tried them at the gym and running, even just lying down for sit ups they fell off, then when running well, I gave up after about 100 metres and put me ipod back in me pocket. Sound is also very tinny. Hope this has helped. you've been warned.

- Great for running
I purchased these headphones and am quite happy with them. I received them sooner than expected and for the price, "not bad". They do stay in my ears and thanks to the 3 different sizes of caps I was able to select the the correct ones to fit my ears. The bass is not brilliant, but all things considered these are a great buy.

- Not a 'Sound' buy........
After fitting the appropriate earbuds to the my new Philips SHS8000/00 and connecting to my Creative Zen I was looking forward to all round listening pleasure. What a surprise, a tinny emasculated response, plenty of treble but imperceptable base. I checked the earpiece fit because with such a small eaphone its essential, the fit was snug and very comfortable.
The design is good, the wires from behind the ear are great. Unfortunately the frequency response is just awful, base notes are there but they are so imperceptable as to ruin a piece of music. These earphones have what is termed 'turbo base', I don't know at what level the 'turbo effect' comes in but mine have gone back in the box. They are just useless. I have gone back to listening with my Creative EP510 earhook earphones, not so stylish but with a vastly improved frequency range and sound quality over the Philips -- and currently at £6.96 the Creative EP510's are an absolute bargain.
Two stars to Philips for concept and fit but what are earphones for.................

- Philips: the good value all-rounder
In trying to pick a set of headphones for the gym, one common theme emerged: that everyone is different, and that most products get wonderful and bad reviews. With that in mind, I went for a brand I knew and a style I liked (over the ear hooks) and I have to say I'm pleased.
The Philips are, above all, comfortable and easily fitted in my small-average size ears for a woman. In less than 30 seconds they are in my ears and need no further adjustment. I have also been wearing them for most of the day at work (around 8 hours) and have felt no irritation or discomfort which some people state as a problem with other similar products. I wear glasses throughout all work and gym activity, and both my glasses and earphones fit comfortably over my ears without getting in the way of one another.
In the gym, be it during my brisk walk there, or bobbing up and down on CV machines they have not fallen out. They remain in, and their lead length has not provided a problem with either tangling/catching or with reaching the machines I'm using if I'm wired to the gym entertainment, or my Zen if I've brought my own entertainment.
In terms of sound quality, these are distinctly average. They are much better than the headphones that came with my Creative Zen V Plus, and I would say are on a par with the standard Sony earplugs I got with a former music device. They're not tinny or shrill, and they work well with the vocal music I listen too.
The bottom line? These are comfortable and well designed earphones, suitable for active and inactive wearing, and provide decent sound quality. All in all, good bang for the buck.

After reading some reviews on Amazon I decided to try these headphones. They sound as good as my Sennheiser cx300s and they don't move an inch when running on a treadmill, rowing like a demon or generally just wandering around town.
