Phillips Sporty Headphones

I am failing at this review, as I don't recall exactly what these headphones were called. They are Phillips brand, and they were marketed as sport headphones. I've had them for seven or eight years, I think. Anyway, they're pretty decent little headphones.

They look messy, but they're not!
That is an organized heap.

Let's talk about the sport aspect first. The headphones have a rubber type covering, as opposed to the hard plastic or fuzzy little covers. This helps keep the headphones in your ears, where they're supposed to be. Additionally, they're bright orange. I don't know why, but I like to pretend it makes them easier to see/find. Also, it's totally a serious workout color.*

Perhaps the greatest testament to these headphones is that they still work after such a long time and that I can still find them.** I tried this thing called jogging. It was horrible, but that's not what's important.*** What's important is that those little buggers stayed put. They didn't shift or fall out. Having used the default Apple headphones, I know that struggle is real!

Nice and snug!

I suppose the most important aspect of any set of headphones is the sound quality. I'm not gonna lie. Most headphones sound the same to me. Right now, I'm listening to music on Mark's fancy Star Wars headphones that cost $200 at the Star Wars Weekends at Disney. Be it these fancy headphones or cheap ones, I don't really sense a huge difference. The music sounded fine.

If you're in the market for some sporty headphones and can find them. These Phillips ones are pretty good. They're durable and have held up well. I don't think they were too terribly expensive when I picked them up either. They're good all around.

*I have no facts to back that up. I just needed to throw something in there to associate orange with the sportiness of the headphones. Don't judge. :P

**It could because they're bright orange!

***Seriously, let's not do that again any time soon. It didn't help that it was super cold. Okay, it was cold for Myrtle Beach.
