Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Philips SHE9055

  • Extremely lightweight at only 17g, making them highly portable
  • Equipped with a tangle-free cable design for easier storage
  • Uses neodymium magnets which provide more powerful sound for their size
  • Includes an in-line control panel for easier playback management
  • Features passive noise reduction for better isolation from background noise
  • Low impedance (16 Ohms) allows them to reach high volumes easily on mobile devices

What customers don't like about Philips SHE9055

  • Does not feature active noise cancellation (ANC)
  • Cable is not detachable, meaning it cannot be easily replaced if damaged
  • Lacks a built-in noise-canceling microphone for clearer calls
  • Does not include a travel bag or protective case in the box
  • Non-foldable design compared to some competitors in the same category
  • Missing advanced features like ambient sound mode or in-ear detection

Verdict

The Philips SHE9055 is a wired in-ear headphone featuring 9mm neodymium drivers that deliver a frequency response range of 16 Hz to 23,000 Hz. With a low impedance of 16 Ohms and a sensitivity of 106 dB, these earphones are easily driven by standard mobile devices to produce high volume levels. Its main characteristics include a lightweight 17g design, a tangle-free flat cable with a 3.5mm connector, and an in-line remote with a microphone for hands-free calls. Key pros include effective passive noise isolation through its secure acoustic seal and the use of powerful neodymium magnets for clear high notes. However, notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), a non-detachable cable that cannot be replaced if damaged, and the absence of a travel pouch or folding mechanism for enhanced portability.
