Verdict

The Philips PH805 is a high-resolution certified over-ear wireless headphone featuring 40mm neodymium acoustic drivers with an expansive frequency response of 7Hz to 40kHz and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Its standout characteristics include active noise cancellation (ANC), a lightweight 235g foldable design, and a robust battery life of 30 hours (25 hours with ANC enabled), supported by 'Rapid Charge' which provides 2 hours of playback in 5 minutes. Main pros consist of excellent value-for-money sound quality, comfortable memory foam ear cushions, and intuitive touch controls for volume and voice assistant integration. However, notable cons include the use of an outdated Micro-USB charging port, finicky touch sensitivity that can lead to accidental activations, and ANC performance that is less effective against high-frequency sounds compared to flagship competitors.
