Philips N37 In-Ear Headphones

The Philips N37are one of the items you can win in the Zunecentive program exclusively found here at ZuneBoards.  So how do they perform?  We've already got some feedback, and with them being already snatched up by post-crazed members, are they worth the $8?  Click to read more...

Item Description:  Philips N37 In-Ear headphone
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price:  $19.00 USD (currently $8.00)
Manufacturer's Description:  "The Philips N37 is an excellent and high quality set of in ear headphones for your Zune. There is a lot of attention to detail in the design of this set. We feel these are second in sound only to our Creative EP-630. For the price of $8 and free shipping you will have a difficult time finding a nicer set."

Our Take:  "These earphones sound GREAT, they feel nice too. They aren't that cheap slippery plastic feeling. They are metal, and they feel nice as well. The cord is like durable rubber, like the zune thing on the bag that came with the 30. But not as flimsy. If you are looking for some great earphones for a really cheap price, these are it. Definately worth 100 post." says CameeonMK.  I'd agree.  The 'buds are what is called asymmetrical, meaning they don't have the same length cords on  each side.  This is so the set can be worn over the shoulder with the cord running down your back.  This is perfect if you do any jogging or have an armband for your Zune.

The only thing I'd caution about these 'buds is if you have a 2nd generation Zune, you may not get the same experience.  The set seems to have a great, rich bass sound (which some may love), but with the absence of an equalizer in the Zune 4/8/80 the sound can be a little muffled.  The Zune 30 can easily overcome this issue.

Overview

zonePros:
- Sound GREAT
- Feel Nice
- Cheap price
- Asymmetrical design

Cons:
- May be bassy for 2nd generation Zunes

Rating:  7 out of 10

Do buy if:  You great bass response from your Zune 30 for a great price
Don't buy if:  own a Zune 4, 8, or 80

No problem, I'll probably make a more in-depth review soon. Along with the other members who ordered theirs.

Nice review man, and it took you what, a week to get them in?
CameleonMK   | Publisher | 2008-02-08 19:04:36
Yea, about four days.

i have some other philips headphones,and they work awesome, i have one minor problem, the rubber coating causes irritation in my ear; around the hole. i would recommend philps to anyone though.

I do as well, the philips SHE8500. I also have the same problems that you mentioned. It happens when you use a bigger insert than what your ears need.

Well good thing that most earphones have an extra pair. And that they are interchangeable between each other.

Just pointing out that you spelled Zuneboards wrong in there, so you might wanna fix it.

I really didn't like how they sounded. I prefer my old headphones, which were also Phillips in ear headphones. I also found the wire to be too stiff, but I don't mind that because I know it's durable, as are the headphones all together. But the sound is a big drawback for me,it sounds like I'm listening to music through a tin can or something. In many of my songs there were subtle notes that I really liked (especially in a lot of my techno music)that I don't hear with these headphones. But they are very nice looking and unique so I switch off between my two pairs of headphones.

I just ordered mine. I hope the sound isn't TO muffled on my Zune 80. If so I will just use them with my 30 that is collecting dust on the shelf. They do have an awesome look and you can't beat the price! Thanks for the review guys. Great Job.

I love mine. I used some larger Skull Candies rubber cups that I have and the sound is well balanced, and tight. The tighter they fit in your ears the deeper the bass. Also the thicker the rubber or silicone the deeper the bass.

i wish they would get them on zunecentive

I bought a pair and love them so much that I ordered two more sets (my Teenager stole my original set)he has a lot of nice sets like Skull candy and the new V2 premium Zune ones and he states that these are the best he has. And at eight bucks and FREE shipping you cannot beat the price!
