and so is the Philips UpBeat SHB2505, which still guarantees convenience and connectivity. It should be noted that this is not an ideal model for audio professionals, and the Philips make that clear in the specs. If you are looking for your first wireless headset, it is worth knowing the model presented here.
Design and construction 5k2i6f

O UpBeat SHB2505 It's a light, small device that fits in the palm of your hand. But if you take beauty into consideration, you can ignore this question. The devices do not bring a product look (which is understandable by the proposal). In construction, it is possible to notice that the Philips used a lot of plastic in all areas of the phone and there is a rubber cover that can be removed without much fuss.
In this coverage, Philips introduced a kind of hook that can be stuck in the ear preventing the device from falling off. In our test, however, we noticed that this hook can be uncomfortable and cause a little pain, especially after hours of use. Fortunately, if need be, you can remove it and use the headset without this protection. Still, it is important to point out that this discomfort is very specific and does not mean that it will be noticeable by all consumers.

By the way, the Philips UpBeat SHB2505 comes with silicone tips in three sizes (small, medium and large). Choosing the ideal one for your ear, stability will be guaranteed. When making the exchange, you may have some difficulty, but with a little way, it fits perfectly.
The buds have a circular connectivity button named Philips in the middle. This same button has a blue and white LED that helps when connecting it.

In general, the finish is simple, which shows that the company wanted to focus mainly on practicality and sound results.
sound quality 146w5x
O Philips UpBeat SHB2505 does not disappoint in sound quality, and mids, bass and treble are guaranteed without too much exaggeration. The headphones have 6 mm neodymium drivers, so you can already get an idea of what it delivers. It brings settings aimed at serving a varied audience that does not require much of a headset.

The bass is very punctual and doesn't bring that feeling of a powerful speaker in the ears. The mids are well defined, while the highs may not bring as much brightness in some songs. Communication between device and handset is done separately: the connected device sends the signal to each side of the Philips UpBeat SHB2505, which helps not to compromise on audio quality.
the microphone of UpBeat SHB2505 it's reasonable. When making calls, the quality was compromised and if you are in a noisy place, we recommend using your smartphone without headphones. The audio gets even worse when using messaging apps like Telegram. When sending the voice message, the impression was that the person was in a bathroom and the audio was also very low. At least there are no echoes that can get in the way of communication.
Battery 554u5p

The battery of the UpBeat SHB2505 may disappoint the a little, as it was not designed to last all day. So, if you're looking for a headset for the whole day, it's worth considering this question. The autonomy of the model Philips it's around 3 hours. But, on the other hand, there is the carrying/charging case that ensures another 9 hours of duration, thus totaling 12 hours. There is unfortunately no quick charge feature.
O SHB2505 has similar autonomy to the Xiaomi Redmi Airdots – which makes it very clear that these models are ideal to use between the way home to work, going to college and watching series and movies. Still, we recommend not leaving the house without taking the case and the USB cable. To control consumption, the box has blue LEDs that help you know when it's time to charge.
Case 575y5c

Regarding the case of Philips UpBeat SHB2505, the box brings some construction features seen on the headphones. You won't find it very difficult to take it out, since the case is very light and has a medium size (neither too big nor too small). even with the UpBeat SHB2505 stored, the case is not heavy.
The lid, which has a magnetic closure, opens smoothly and, therefore, gives the impression that it is fragile. On the front, there are LEDs so you can monitor the charging of the headphones.

Connectivity 6y1s2q
Connectivity is one of the main highlights of the Philips UpBeat SHB2505. In our tests, we were able to connect it very easily to different devices (laptop, iPad, iPhone) and the great booster of this good connection, of course, is Bluetooth 5.0.
For day-to-day use, the headset has successfully worked on a variety of content such as streaming music, radio, podcasts, and Netflix. Work with Philips UpBeat SHB2505 it's very pleasurable. Despite the quarantine, which prevented us from doing a test on the street, it was possible to notice how it acts with some external noises, when we went to the window, for example. Isolation is not entirely the strong point of this model. Even listening to music, it was possible to perceive some external sounds, such as a dog barking, TV on and other low noises.

In of scope, the Philips guarantees up to ten meters of connection. In our evaluation, the model started to lose with the cell phone at a distance of about seven meters with several walls as a “block”, causing some failures (like only one side working and sometimes neither).
A very nice point is your Apple and with just two presses on the button it is already possible to activate it (the command is the same for the Google Executive Assistant). With this, you will be able to make calls, send messages and use other commands of assistance and entertainment to the . Unfortunately, there is no dedicated app to take advantage of other settings.

Last but not least, the feature we like the most on Philips UpBeat SHB2505: After pairing for the first time, the headphones will always connect to your device. You just need to open the charging case and that's it, headphones connected. This function is actually very interesting, as it saves you a lot of time and you can go out enjoying your music.
