Review: Very clear, very comfortable headphones. Excellent value. - 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.
Review: Great open-back headphones at a reasonable cost - Great headphones at a reasonable cost. I love music and need hi-fidelity but can't afford serious studio monitor headphones etc. I've gone through others and it's always something, too hot, too tight, smash ears, sound off, etc. I decided I needed "around the ear" not on the ear, and open back to allow breathability. I got these about a week ago and love them. They're light and comfortable, don't overheat your ears, don't smash them, and they sound good. 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these compare to the Sennheiser HD558?**
A: I have both.  The SHP 9500 sounds brighter and more forward for 2 reasons: the back is more open and the drivers are closer to your ears.  The Sennheiser is more neutral sounding -some find it somewhat muffled unless you do the "mod" (removing a piece of tape inside) - I did. The opening on the Phillips is huge so fit maybe something to consider for one who wears a small size hat.The stock Sennheiser cable/plug size is for Home stereo.  I mostly listen on an I-pod so I had to replace the stock cable - a $22 accessory.  It was well worth it!!! The Phillips comes with a long but replaceable cable.  As mentioned, I mostly use an ipod for portability and convenience so I replaced the cable with a much shorter 1.3 m monster cable that I picked up for $ 25.  I played both headphones for 100 hours to allow them to "bloom".  They have differing sound signatures and I can use them for long listening sessions.  I love long solitary hikes and being "open type" they allow ambient noise to be heard - I just amp up the volume.  Indoors, I can play them softly.  By now, you can see that I am not a critical listener and use the headphones to enjoy music in any environment.  I defer to the experts for the critical listening opinions.I use the headphones with a Fiio 7 portable amp.  This is a winning combination.  Both will sound good on an ipod without any boost but if you want presence, amp it up!  We all have different ears...I have no qualms about using EQ either.Let me sum it up - If I catch a cold and sneezing results in some swelling if the ears, I will use the Phillips.  Good Luck!!

**Q: are these good to block out loud conversation and music say on a school bus?**
A: This is polar opposite of blocking out. This is airy and loose. Absolutely wrong can for such purpose. I found this to be one of the best for Acoustics/Jazz with good recording that has staging. People around you will hear it too as an open can.

**Q: Can anyone compare these to Grado headphones? I have a pair of sr-60's and was wondering if these are any better...**
A: These Philips SHP 9500 headphones sound twice as good as the Grado SR-60's. The Philips have a unbelievably good sound stage unlike any headphones I have ever heard. Grado headphones are somewhat harsh in my opinion. You won't find a better pair of headphones under $500.00 than the Philips SHP9500's.

**Q: Hi, how is this in terms of bass?**
A: The sound quality is very good in general. If you’re looking for something real bass, highly recommend that you use a DAC with bass control. For reference I'm using Fosi Audio DAC Q4.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great set of clear, balanced, entry level hifi headphones loved by many and now myself as well.
*by S***. on December 19, 2025*

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.
