Philips Cineos SHD9100 Wireless HeadPhone
Introduction
The wireless freedom on the head, that's the vision - Wireless Headphones are a very comfortable, practical solution, but phonetically the headphones are usually little inspiring. Even if you are a lot of money invested, you get around not far from satisfactory product quality is required. Philips promises when SHD9100, which at market prices from about 180 to 190 EUR available is that thanks to 40 mm speaker drivers and the digital transmission is a most pleasing aural performance will be offered. We have wireless headphones in the elegant piano finish extensively tested.
Processing
The SHD9100 pleased the eye of the beholder with a very careful processing. All surfaces are presenting themselves as haptic pleasant and also look good. The compact base and recharging dock is easy to accommodate and fits optically very good. The handset itself is only one real drawback: The bracket adjustment elements are all made of plastic. In this price league would be solid, rugged metal much better. The included RCA cables, the base with the amplifier or receiver connects, acts also very cheap. Otherwise, there Eitel sunshine: The piano design is very appealing and timely, the padding of the headphones appears high and corresponds fully with the requirements of the price range. Overall handling: Very good - excellent.

With the 40 mm Mylar speaker drivers, according to Philips distortion free and powerful sound presentation can be achieved. The signal is digital, representing an even better reception and audio quality than analog signal. In addition to lower energy consumption. Thanks to a special, patented technology from Philips is the sound even when loose in the room always in sync with the picture. The bracket of the headphones are accurate, obviously comfortable seat backrest.
The scope of the SHD9100 is in the house about 10 meters, which for most indoor applications. Philips itself is 30 meters as a maximum range of these but only under ideal conditions and without disturbing W Even in the border area of coverage is the almost audible sound still intact, then cut off upon reaching the 10 m mark from the connection abruptly. For a high comfort Philips has done a lot. An adjustable ear (3 positions) ensures optimum fit and a fully perceptible bass performance. It is very lightweight headband reached that the SHD9100 also expresses no longer listening. The bar is also breathable and is easily adjustable. The overall effect of measures together with the low weight of the entire construction very positive - even after more than three hours on the head of the SHD9100 is still easy to wear. Philips are commercially available for the three AAA batteries (included batteries are included ). A running time of 6 hours and advises that the current memory before the first operation 10 hours to load. Only the battery power rates: Who likes a little louder it is acceptable, the headphones may already after approximately 2 hours back to the base depend. Who is more subdued approach can be used in practice to about 4 hours. In relation to the overall price category: Very good.
The Philips Cineos SHD9100 is the right partner for users who when listening to music atmospherically dense, enveloping experience focus - with its strong, dynamic approach, he just tears "normal" users with problems. For powerful rock and pop music or trance and dance anthems this is an excellent wireless headphones. For Dj musics "Another World" trumps it with a powerful bass and a very well-separated from the rest vocal representation on. It creates a vast, geographically dense sonic panorama and the listener gets fully under the spell of music. In "Heaven" by DJ Sammy Yanou and Philips again produced an excellent, tight space, the audience feels included by the sound truthful and not feel for the less high-quality feel of a typical headphones attached, two-dimensional sound. At Da Hool classic "Meet her at The Love Parade" brilliant turn of the SHD9100 forward with his striving, by force and energy dominated play. Solid driving disco beats as "Pamana" Master Blaster is the SHD9100 superb - here we know, even under the most wired, priced comparable "colleagues" only a few copies, with a so hard, while completely safe bass can wait. The underlying dynamics in the song makes the Philips formally heard in the corridors explode.
Its strength and its abilities come grobdynamischen him in Europes "The Final Countdown" too good. It lets the listener the charisma of this song anytime and feel also composition, which is also when listening with significantly high volume will never pushy. Can an identical, the SHD9100 at Bon Jovis' Living on a Prayer "in the foreground - it simply moves something. Many Headphones sprawl acoustically unmotivated in the area around and simply can not decide whether she prefers to work Detail ruins everything, or a superficial complacency sacrifice. Philips also knows what he wants, and offers a lot of momentum at higher levels. To achieve this goal, the highs are slightly damped, but without being indifferent, and proves to be effective. We personally have on this long, relaxed, yet intense designed interpretation even in the Europe-ballad "Carrie" excellent fallen. In the case of Moti Special masterpieces "Cold Days, Hot Nights" and "Do not be so shy" is again full of Philips and marches in a way ahead that are equally as impressive is stirring.
For all "Rejoicing arias" But let's also significant weaknesses not forget: This is the "border zone" of the SHD9100 very low. The sound does not change with a gentle slope about taxes after its quality, but the Philips slips directly from a powerful, homogenous sound distorted, barely profitable by, and crack of thunder by about taxes when you compare it with the level just a little exaggerates. Therefore you should be very careful in dealing with the volume slider, if already at a high level nor the desire for more emerges. Furthermore even when an audible sirre SHD9100, in very quiet passages of music may disturb. This characteristic is typical of wireless systems. What we can say: For the classic high-end handset, based on crystal clarity, transparency and the highest fine balance in the emphasis of all frequency ranges emphasis is not the appropriate SHD9100 headphones. He has a good comprehensible and honest about Sounding, with audible emphasized bass, treble expiring gently and seamlessly embedded midrange, the enormously harmonious sounds and aware about the last bit of it.
Slow, blessed with a lot of volume techno-ballads like "Welcome to Paradise" by Gigi D'Agostino brings the SHD9100 very expressive and emotional on the application - here pays special interpretation directly. Not particularly subject to the headphones famous overtures and orchestral music by Richard Wagner. So does the whole sound picture to be too simplistic and superficial. The same phenomenon also occurs in Johann Strauss' "Emperor Waltz" on - although the whole thing sounds really dynamic and strong, but weak in the small, fine intermediate shades. The strings are just fine and not transparent enough and are compared to the low-frequency operations clearly in the background. The classical music at a very important presentation of a broad orchestral stage, in both the breadth and depth in the elaborately staged, is not the SHD9100.
Behaves quite differently when the situation Duran Duran "A View to a Kill" - the title tune from the 007-strips in which Roger Moore as Bond "Goodbye" said. That the SHD9100 also slow, rich plays very well may act proves he Gladys Knight "License to Kill" - more accurately an instrument mixes cocktail of emphasis, volume, vocal and instrumental violence. He lets the infamous "gooseflesh feeling" and gives rise as the full effect of a lover, massive display the distribution of a variety of happiness hormones. Done so well in "Always on My Mind" by the Pet Shop Boys "- sovereign, tired and powerfully attracts the SHD9100 back all the registers of his acoustic skills. Overall sound in relation to the price category: Very good.
Conclusion
The Philips Cineos SHD9100 offers already, with its elegant looks and impeccable processing of interesting attractions. These find their continuation in an acoustic equally powerful as rousing sound image that with good bass, treble very pleasant and very nicely integrated middle convincing. Thus, in its price class of cordless headphones an excellent choice for the user, which is an honest, of vigor and volume-oriented Sounding estimates. Not wegzudiskutieren are also some disadvantages. Among these is the sudden skip a harmonious, room into a sound of cracking thunder and embossed over taxes. In higher level regions is therefore a good deal with the volume slider asked, because basically creates the SHD9100 quite significant level, however, is its very narrow border zone and therefore needs to be explored with caution. Higher levels can be another drawback to the day come: The battery life is approximately 2 hours on low. Due to the Sounding and the massive acoustic gig, the SHD9100 for strong classical and jazz-oriented listeners is not the right companion. Those who prefer rock, pop, trance or dance music sounds, however, is by playing qualities and the interpretation of his highly appreciated.
