The Philips SHB6250 are wireless on-ear headphones designed for convenient, hands-free communication and music enjoyment. These headphones connect wirelessly to compatible Bluetooth devices, allowing users to manage calls and control music playback without being tethered by cables.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Philips SHB6250 headphones is to provide a wireless audio experience for both calls and music. They utilize Bluetooth technology to establish a connection with mobile phones, notebooks, PDAs, Bluetooth adapters, MP3 players, and other compatible devices. This wireless capability allows for freedom of movement, making them suitable for various activities where wired connections might be inconvenient.

For communication, the headphones feature an integrated microphone, enabling users to make and receive calls wirelessly. Call management functions include picking up, hanging up, and rejecting calls, as well as muting/unmuting the microphone during a conversation. The headphones also support voice control features like Siri/Google Now, allowing users to interact with their smartphone's virtual assistant directly through the headset.

In terms of music playback, the SHB6250 allows users to play, pause, skip forward, and skip backward through tracks. Volume control is also integrated, providing a comprehensive set of controls directly on the headphones, eliminating the need to constantly interact with the connected device. The ability to switch seamlessly between calls and music enhances the user experience, making it a versatile accessory for daily use.

The headphones are designed for on-ear wear, with an adjustable headband to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for different users. The design also incorporates a twist feature for easy storage after use, making them portable and convenient to carry.

Usage Features:

The SHB6250 headphones offer several user-friendly features to enhance their usability:

• Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth 3.0 ensures a stable wireless connection with compatible devices within a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet). This allows users to keep their connected device in a pocket or bag while still enjoying audio and calls.
• Hands-Free Calling: The built-in microphone and call control buttons enable users to answer, end, and reject calls directly from the headphones, providing a hands-free communication solution.
• Music Control: Dedicated buttons on the headphones allow for intuitive control over music playback, including play/pause, track skipping (forward and backward), and volume adjustment.
• Voice Assistant Integration: Support for Siri/Google Now allows users to activate their smartphone's voice assistant with a single press, enabling voice commands for various tasks without needing to touch their phone.
• NFC Pairing: For compatible Android mobile phones (version 4.2 or above) with NFC functionality, pairing is simplified. Users can simply touch their phone to the NFC detection area on the headset to initiate the pairing process, making initial setup quick and effortless.
• Manual Bluetooth Pairing: For devices without NFC or for users who prefer it, manual Bluetooth pairing is also available. The headphones enter a pairing mode indicated by alternating blue and white LED flashes, allowing users to select them from their device's Bluetooth settings.
• Automatic Reconnection: Once paired, the headphones automatically attempt to reconnect to the last connected mobile phone or Bluetooth device when powered on. If the primary device is unavailable, they will try to connect to the second-to-last connected device, ensuring a seamless experience.
• Battery Status Indicator: An LED indicator provides visual feedback on the headphone's status, including pairing mode (alternating blue and white), connected/standby/music listening (blue flash every 8 seconds), not connected (quick blue flashes), low battery (white flashes 3 times every 2 minutes 30 seconds), and fully charged (white LED off).
• Auto Power Off: To conserve battery life, the headphones automatically switch off if they fail to connect to any Bluetooth device within range for 5 minutes.
• Digital Echo & Noise Reduction: These features contribute to clearer audio quality during calls by minimizing background noise and echo.

Maintenance Features:

Maintaining the Philips SHB6250 headphones involves simple practices to ensure their longevity and optimal performance:

• Charging: The headphones are charged via a supplied Micro USB cable. It is recommended to use only the original USB charging cable to prevent damage. For optimal battery capacity and lifetime, it is advised to charge the battery for 5 hours before first use. A full charge typically takes 3 hours. The LED indicator turns white during charging and turns off when fully charged. It's important to finish any ongoing calls before charging, as connecting the charger will power off the headphones.
• Cleaning: To clean the headphones, use a soft cloth. If necessary, the cloth can be dampened with a minimum amount of water or diluted mild soap. Harsh cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasives should be avoided as they can cause damage.
• Storage: After use, the headphones can be twisted for easy storage, which helps protect them and makes them more compact for transport.
• Environmental Protection: The product is designed with recyclable materials. Users are encouraged to dispose of the product and its integrated rechargeable battery responsibly, following local regulations for electronic and battery waste. Philips advises taking the product to an official collection point or a Philips service center for professional battery removal, as the battery is built-in and not intended for user replacement.
• General Care: To prevent damage, avoid exposing the headphones to excessive heat (like direct sunshine or fire), dropping them, or submerging them in water. They should not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids. Operating and storing the headphones within the recommended temperature range (-15°C to 55°C) and humidity (up to 90% relative humidity) helps ensure optimal battery life and performance.
• Battery Replacement: The integrated battery is not user-replaceable. If battery replacement is needed, it should be done by a professional using the same or an equivalent type to avoid the danger of explosion.
• Resetting Settings: If issues arise, users can restore the headphones to their original factory settings. When the headphones are powered off, pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds will power them on, enter pairing mode, and then power them off, effectively resetting the factory settings.
