Hi Habr!
I’m in a hurry to share the find, perhaps many hawkers were fed up with the sound of this headset a long time ago (it’s been on sale for more than 2 years) and thrown far on the shelf, but, in my opinion, this is one of the devices under the “musthave” label for music lovers and gadgets.
Continued under the cut.
Since childhood, I loved music, although not so since childhood I loved portable devices that can play it. And every time with the advent of a new format: cassette, CD, mini Disk, MP3, I saved up money and bought myself another gadget with new-fangled chips, their pros and cons, sizes and power consumption.
Accordingly, each new gadget was accompanied by headphones: overhead, plug-in, with a rim, with a mount behind the ear, etc. Those that came in the kit were often given away, donated, thrown away and, with rare exceptions, was used by me for the intended purpose, and even then no more than a couple of months. And their era always ended with the purchase of new headphones. At the moment, I have about 20 pairs of various headphones at home from Sony, Panasonic, Koss, Philips, Sennheiser, Technics.
All of them do not belong to expensive models. I could never tell the difference between the warm tube sound of WAV and the worker-peasant 320 kbps. And, despite the fact that I can call myself a music lover, I probably can never consider myself an expert in this matter.
Knowing my love for headphones and after some tips, I was presented with a birthday (Thank you friends!) Philips SHB 9000 headphones. I turned them on and immediately fell in love!

Accessories
Soft travel case, 1.5 m audio cable, charger (I didn’t have it), Quick start guide and CD
Headphones sit cool, height adjustment of the darling, comfortable ear pads, all controls at hand. Active noise reduction technology is always very helpful in urban areas.
As I said earlier, I do not consider myself a great specialist in the field of sound, but nevertheless, in my opinion, these are some of the best sounding Bluetooth headphones (listened to: Jabra, Nokia BH-503, Nokia BH-905, Motorola, Sony ) Also, due to the limitations of the A2DP protocol and the battery charge in the headphones, the ability to connect to a 3.5 mm input can be very useful.
On average, I listen to music for an hour - two a day with such a load, one battery charge is more than enough for a week. The headset holds the connection very tenaciously, you have to try very hard so that the broadcast is interrupted. In the field, it was found that the headset continues to work at a distance of 20 meters from the sound source (HTC HD2). The only minus is that during transportation, the call reception key is sometimes pressed down, which leads to the inclusion of the “pairing (No, the headset is not sent to the bathhouse, but just waiting to connect to a new device)” and disconnecting from the last device synchronized with it.

With this topic, I tried to draw the attention of the Habrasociety to a device, which, in my opinion, is one of the best in its category. Perhaps I am biased and at the moment there are devices much better and more convenient, but isn't there a Habr for that to share thoughts, thoughts and findings in the field of IT and gadgets. This is my first topic on Habré, so I will be glad to listen to constructive proposals related to the overall style and coverage of a topic. I hope not very tired. Thanks for attention!

A little (or a lot) about yourself.

Get to the point.
