Review on 🎧 Philips T5505 Wireless Earbuds with ANC, True Wireless Bluetooth 5.0, IPX5 Water Resistant, USB-C Charging, Up to 20 Hours Playtime (TAT5505BK), Black by Wine Gray

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great sound and ANC but very poor user experience. Better value for money elsewhere!

The 13mm drivers give these headphones a truly detailed and wide soundstage. Bass is excellent and you really feel the benefits of driver size. ANC is also great, if not the industry leader. Suitable for sports but definitely not recommended as they fall out. Something about the rubber grommet material of the earpiece that makes it a little less grippy than other earbuds I own. Rubber earbuds are also very difficult to slip over headphones. The design is also lacking. Equalizer in the application also does little. The biggest downside to these headphones is the touch controls. First, you can't adjust the volume at all - there's no way to adjust the touch controls in the app. The app also gives you no control over the ANC level. Second, the touch controls are EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY responsive. They will shoot every time you adjust them or take them out of your ears. There are also issues with accurately distinguishing between two and three touches, meaning in most cases you'll be changing ANC modes rather than skipping tracks. the same sound quality and slightly better ANC with a more powerful app suite and headphones in general.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
