- Philips H8000E are new noise strengthening headphones
- 40 mm graphene pilots, high resolution audio and Bluetooth Auracast
- Batteries “easily replaceable” for sustainability
Philips has announced its new competitor in the world of the best noise strengthening headphones, the Philips H8000E. They are excessive headphones with ANC, personalization options via Philips, Bluetooth headphones and the new generation LC3, Bluetooth Auracast, 50 hours of battery life with the ANC (70 with She), and even replaceable batteries for repairability.
This is a lot of things, but something is missing in particular so far: the price. Philips described these headphones as “mid -range”, but that could mean something less than $ 150 to less than $ 250 from your particular point of view.
They should be launched in September 2025 in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, which means that they will have an interesting time probably in competition with the Sony WH-1000XM6 which should be launched in summer-and also a Decrease Price for the existing Sony WH-1000XM5.
It is therefore good that they currently have some advantages compared to Sony, the largest being probably the lifespan of the 50 -hour battery – Sony headphones manage 30 hours with the ANC.
There is also the future management of the LC3 codec, which is capable of higher and better quality audio sound by generally using less power, which is still not completely common among premium headphones.
And like Sony’s headphones, they take care of the LDAC superior Bluetooth Codec.
There are five levels of selectable noise cancellation power via the application, and the promise that “AI microphones” will facilitate the quality of the calls.
There is a folding design that is good for travel, and they are light. Philips says that they also have sustainability objectives, with recycled plastic in construction, and “easily replaceable integral batteries and detachable ear pads” in order to use them for years and years ( But hope that the batteries are easier to replace than the last headphones that Sifixit has tried to repair).
With eight months to do until they have come out, hope that Philips really have the test of sound quality, the features and the expected price of these cans, because a plot May have changed the best headphones in the world by then. I would not be surprised to see new models before not only Sony but also of Sennheiser.
