    • Very clear, very comfortable headphones. Excellent value.
Style: Performance Audio | SHP9500
These are excellent headphones but consider your usage. These are big open-backed headphones. They leak sound and don't guard against outside noise much. These are for your usage at your desk/couch when playing games (no mic) or listening to music/watching tv. They are big and comfortable and do all of that really well but at that price there are cheaper headphones that also do that well. I think these have a very neutral sound profile. They handle whatever you throw at them but it isn't like bass or treble or anything will explode at you. In that sense, if what you really want are Sennheiser or Beats, then you should buy those because they sound different at a fundamental level. It isn't a "quality" thing, it's just a preference thing. That's fine! I just want to you have a sense of what you'll be getting and you should understand these headphones have a different profile from the other brands, and they sound different from Skullcandy as well. I guess my only concern with these headphones, having accepted that they are for home use, is that I'm not driving them properly. They don't get that loud compared to other headphones I have. I'm running them out of my tv monitor or laptop. I think I'm leaving a lot on the table without additional power for these things. I imagine they'd get louder and brighter, in which case they'd be truly marvelous. As it stands, they sound wonderful (distinct, but wonderful) and for the value hit above their weight class. If you've been in the $40-$50 range these are a clear improvement-- that much is clear. Probably with an amp they'd be even more. The sound is very neutral. A lot of high-end brands play up warm profiles and deep bass. I guess these could have deep bass, but the warm, bass-y sound stage you hear on headphones that cost more is a design choice. You may like that! These are designed to be clear and crisp and they are. At the same time, because they aren't getting super loud, and don't necessarily do anything to "grab" me with the listening experience like an artificial bass or a "comfy" sound stage, I find myself frequently using cheaper headphones to get that quick hit of warm bass and (overly?) engineered sound-stage. Don't get me wrong: I've used these nearly every day for years (2nd pair). I always come back to these headphones. But I can't help but think they are also designed for more than just laptop or TV monitor power. If you are fine with what you have, you may not be blown away by these headphones unless you specifically want something clear or very comfortable for a very specific use. Beyond that, these are great. ... show more

    • The hype is real. These cans sound nearly as good as units costing more than 2x as much!
Style: Performance Audio | SHP9500
Wow! I am really surprised at how true the hype is -- I just received these headphones today, and as I was listening to them, I felt compelled to come write this review because I am so happy with the way they sound. I love good sounding audio. I'm kinda picky about it. But I increasingly dislike the term "audiophile," and not being independently wealthy, I don't own much gear. So, I try to make my purchases wisely. That's how I wound up with the SHP9500s. A little background: My first "real" headphones were Audio Technica ATH-M30s (the original generation, not the current M30X). I probably bought ATs back around 2003 or so, and they were pretty much my only cans for 15 years. They were beat to hell, but always never gave me any trouble. And I thought they sounded just fine. Since they were starting to get pretty worn out, I decided it was time to upgrade. So a few years ago, I bought a Schiit Fulla 2 DAC/amp combo and some Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros (250 ohm). I never knew how much I was missing with the ATH-M30s until I started using the DT 770s. It was beyond night and day. The DT 770s have been my daily drivers for a couple years now. I love them; they really do sound so nice. I think they're beginning to be at the point of diminishing returns, though - if I start to spend much more than I did for the DT 770s, I probably won't notice nearly the improvement I did when I went from the ATH-M30s to the 770s. But, the 770s are closed-back headphones. I had never really tried open-back headphones. I heard open cans tend to have better sound stages, can be more comfortable, and of course make it easier to hear your surroundings (this can be bad and good - but there are times when I need to be aware of what other people are doing, in an office environment, for example, so that's why I consider it a "good" thing). Anyway, while the DT 770s aren't necessarily uncomfortable, they're definitely noticeable and can get kind of tiresome after an extended session. So, I decided it was high time to try some open-back headphones, and the SHP9500 kept popping up with rave reviews. When black Friday came around, I decided to nab 'em. I almost pulled the trigger on the more expensive Philips Fidelio X2HR, which were also on sale, but the SHP9500 seemed like a sure bet based on the sheer number of great reviews, and money was is tight, anyway. Plus, there are those who say the 9500s are less colored or "V" shaped than the X2HRs, and I tend to prefer headphones that don't color the sound too much. TL;DR - My headphone progression has been Audio Technica ATH-M30 > Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (250 ohm) > Philips SHP9500. The DT 770 Pros are arguably several "grades" better than the 9500s, and easily 2x the price. But these 9500s sound *almost* as good -- really. DT 770s are closed-back, these 9500s are open-back. The sound stage is slightly disappointing on the 9500s - I thought it would be better since they're open-back, but I think the DT 770s have a better stage. Definitely less bass with the 9500s, but its still good bass! The SHP9500s are very clear, crisp, and detailed. Overall, there is just a tad less "depth" and "body" to the sound when compared to my DT 770s - and less rumble in the bass - but it is _so close_ in overall quality - and more comfortable than the DT 770s - that these SHP9500s are worth buying for everyday use, backup use, a 2nd pair of cans to keep at the office - whatever. I'm already thinking about buying a second pair! They're that good. That said, I still have a lot more listening and comparison to do, so this review may be subject to change. Also, make sure to check the prices. Around $50-60, they're a steal. Much more than that, I'd consider putting my money toward something higher-end. ... show more

    • A great set of clear, balanced, entry level hifi headphones loved by many and now myself as well.
Style: Performance Audio | SHP9500
Review Image by Sam F. Sam F.
The philips shp9500....is overall a great headphone for this price. It gets plenty loud. Its clear, has crisp audio, and very balanced sound. Do no believe the people who say this has no bass. What you have to understand is that this is an open-back headphone, the sound can freely leak out and theres not a crazy seal like most consumer headphones. If you have never heard hifi audio in an openback, you must give yourself some time to get acclimated to the way natural sound should be. There is such a thing as Brain burn in but not headphone burn in. The only real knock I can have on them is a personal one. The fabric on the earpads is rough in texture, and I am bald with facial hair, so if I move it around too much it can cause the slightest scratchiness. Thats the only knock. They are super lightweight, comfortable headphones. Tons of this is subjective to each person. There is hate for this headphone online and there is love for it online. You really do have to just bite the bullet and try it out yourself. Personally I love using this as my daily driver and all rounder. I've had the Sennhesier HD600 before and these get me back to most that way. These sound a bit more 'fun' (and I mean just a bit) than the very neutral 600s. I highly recommend to anyone starting their journey or even just curious. ... show more
