5.0 out of 5 stars Updated version of Philips HS820, January 3, 2008

By	J. D. Buffa - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These headphones appear to be a newer incarnation of the outstanding Philips HS820 phones (currently rated 4.5 stars in 71 Amazon reviews). Other than the color, I don't see any real difference between the two models (I do own both).

As with the earlier version, sound is excellent. It reproduces lows, mids and highs quite faithfully without appreciable distortion IMO.

These are well built, and very light & comfortable. They fold almost perfectly flat, and fit easily in a shirt pocket.

If you're looking for inexpensive (but not cheaply made), well performing compact headphones, look no further. I can't imagine a better value in the $20 price range.

5.0 out of 5 stars sound great look sharp, December 21, 2006

By	sovok (MI, USA) - See all my reviews

decided to give these a try after reading positive reviews on hs820, which i didn't buy because of the weird color, at least on the monitor ... also, owned few things from Philips in the past and love this brand.

these headphones fit ears perfectly and are failry tight. i'm not an audiophil so my expectations might be not as high but sound is crisp and clear, i'm sure average user will find the sound terrific. Bass is right, and higher frequencies sound clear. i've owned them for about 3 weeks now, mostly use them in the gym - no complaints. plastic looks and feels quite durable and long lasting; although before ordering i was a bit concerned about the fabric - but it seems pretty durable too. i would defenitely recommend these.

4.0 out of 5 stars the successor to the 820, June 24, 2008

By	3lusive 1 "A Shoplifter of Knowlege" (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

I have both, the old white 820 and the new 8200.....

differences:

old: more premium plastic better build quality
better for biking during sunny days (white reflects heat)

new: cheaper plastic
better, tighter fit
same great sound as the 820

the old white 820s headband was too large (i have a larger head), so
the fit wasn't tight and you lost some bass as a result. the new
black 8200 have tighter fit resulting in better sound.

I wish you could get this in black and white, since white is better
for being out in the sun for biking.
