What headphones do you usually use for exercise? AirPods or other true wireless headphones? In fact, I have been exercising with a true wireless noise-cancelling headset before, but after experiencing a variety of inconveniences, I decided to change to a more professional sports headset for exercise. After learning about bone conduction headphones, I finally chose this Philips bone conduction headphone A8606, which was recognized by the Dutch treasure Wismar team, and its experience did not disappoint me, so let's share it with you.

Opening the packaging of the Philips A8606, we can see a fairly refreshing layout, above which is a box with the word "GO" written on it, and below it is the headphone body and charging case. It is more obvious that the charging box style of Philips A8606 is different from the general true wireless headphones, using leather wrapping, there is a zipper design, and the overall texture is quite good.
Because it is a bone conduction headphone, in the box with the word "GO", in addition to the instruction manual and charging cable, there are no common ear tips of different sizes, but there is a german UVEX X-fit memory cotton earbud that comes with it. This earbud can give us a better sports listening experience, and the specific feelings will be discussed with you later in the experience section.

On the one hand, this placement ensures that the charging box does not waste too much volume; on the other hand, it adopts a special magnetic design, which can be well placed on the left and right headphones. In addition, such a charging box is also more resistant to falling, and if it slips from the pants pocket and other places, there is no need to worry at all.

In addition, the headset body has a physical button, through clicking, double-clicking, long press and other operations, you can achieve music pause, the next song, answer the phone, start the voice assistant and other functions, the operation is quite convenient, the operation of the physical button is more reliable for people in motion, do not worry about the sweat on the hands and other issues.

As a headset, sound quality is an unavoidable topic, philips A8606 is a bone conduction headphone, sound quality is obviously not its strength, but I also auditioned it.

When listening to pop music, the Philips A8606 can bring clear vocals and drum beats, and the experience is not bad, which can meet the needs of daily listening to songs.
It is particularly worth mentioning that after wearing the german UVEX X-fit memory cotton earbuds that come with it, the sound quality of Philips A8606 has been significantly improved, and the entire sound has formed a resonance-like effect, with a better stereoscopic sense, and the sound quality is worth affirming.
