Philips SHQ4000

The SHQ4000 are waterproof neckband headphones announced in February 2010 by Philips along with the SHQ1000 and SHQ3000 as part of their sport headphone line. This series features a bright orange color scheme and ultra-soft anti-bacterial silicon ear caps in three sizes which are washable as are the headphones by running under tap water.

The ear buds form a seal within the ear, making for an extended bass response as well as minimal sound leakage either in or out. A cable clip is also included for keeping the 1.2m cable out of the way during exercise. Similar to the SHQ3000, the 9mm diameter ear bud form has a frequency response of 15 - 20,000 Hz, compared to the basic SHQ1000s which are 13.5mm in diameter but have less power output and bass response. All three in the series have a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo connection, 1.2m cable, anti-bacterial ear caps and are waterproof.
