For those who prefer a sporty on-ear model, the Philips SH402 is the ideal companion: This Bluetooth model is pleasantly lightweight at 175 grams, protected against splashes according to IPX4, offers up to 20 hours of playback time on a single charge, and provides a very secure yet comfortable fit on the ears—nothing slips even during jogging, weight training, or skipping rope.

The Philips SH402 stands out from the competition primarily due to its ear cushions: As soon as they are put on, a cooling effect occurs. They are filled with a special gel that reduces the temperature by three to five degrees Celsius when they rest directly on the skin. The breathable fabric covering adds to the comfort. The cushions can be easily removed for cleaning. The headphones themselves are made from easy-care plastic.

On the right ear cup, in addition to the micro-USB port for charging the battery, there are three buttons that control music playback, volume, and phone functions. The built-in neodymium drivers are significantly larger at 40 millimeters compared to in-ear variants, which naturally benefits sound quality. Thanks to fast charging technology, the Philips SH402 can gain enough energy for two hours of playback in just 15 minutes.
