Review: Great headphones for a great price - For less than $100 bucks there’s not much else out there that can compete with the quality of these. Open backs are NOT for everyone, but if you’re looking to try out your first pair of open backs or even just want a good daily driver that won’t break the bank, again these are unbeatable. I’m not exactly an audiophile, but the soundstage and volume of these make them my preferred choice for listening to music and watching media. The ear cups are nice and big so they put no pressure on my ears. They are comfortable to wear, but because they don’t squeeze the head very much they may slide off if you look down or up too far. Honestly once this pair breaks eventually, I plan to just buy another pair of these. Cannot recommend enough. Review: The Unsung Hero: Successor to the SHP9500 - When I first did my digging into the great world of audiophile headphones, I thought I'd start my journey on the low-end range of things. The Philips SHP9500 (Predecessor to this model) are sung far and wide as being *the best* headphones, punching above their weight-class, sounding as well as headphones that cost triple or even quadruple its price. However, I soon heard many mixed reviews about it's successor, this here SHP9600 model. Let's get into the nitty gritty. Philips made a followup to once of the most glowing, and might I add, quite unwarranted audiophile headphones for those stepping into the realm of a more "luxurious" listening experience. The only catch being that the legendary SHP9500 had a price of around $80, with the new SHP9600 retailing at $180 originally. From what you'll hear the upgrades (or some say lack of) that this model presents at its increased price point make it a pointless, fruitless endeavor to wear these headphones. Now perhaps I would agree, the SHP9500 is a hard lightweight headphone to beat. Worth $180? It's subjective. However, if you can get these on sale or with a coupon? Oh boy, there ain't nothing to lose. Before I get into the pros and cons I'll give a TL;DR. The sound? Amazing. These offer an incredible crisp, yet slightly warm and rich sound, much unlike typical headphones that kill the mids or up the lows and highs. The build quality is good, the aesthetics are great, I'm particularly fond of the bronze ring on the ears, and the comfort is astounding. Is it enough to warrant a $180 purchase over a $80 purchase, assuming you get these off sale, well, they might just be. If you're unsure which team to swing for, do your research but bear in mind, these are still an amazing pair of headphones for the price. With that out of the way, it's deep dive time. PROS - Sound quality. As with the SHP9500, the audio coming out of this particular model is exquisite. The lows, great, the mids, extremely discernable, the highs, almost always don't become uncomfortable. These are the "flattest" headphones I own to boot. When I listen to a track it almost always sounds like I'm listening to it the way the artist intended, no EQ mixing needed. It's definitely a slightly warm sounding pair of headphones, but they still ring true and can handle any genre I throw at them, be it quiet or noisy. - Build quality. A funny thing to preface this with is that these headphones are quite light. At a quick grab and glance these might not immediately register as particularly sturdy headphones. However, after using these for half a year now I can tell you that their durability is that of a snappy and whippy stick, that bends back into shape if it is ever forced to bear pressure. I've accidentally dropped these a couple times and they have a bit of bounce to them depending on how they fall, yet they have not bent or even scuffed. Furthermore, I've, rather sheepishly, put a little stress on them and purposefully stretched the headphones apart from each other to see if they bend or crack, yet here they remain, in mint condition still. Deceptively strong headphones, they can most certainly withstand reasonable punishment without suffering any failures. - Aesthetics. Subjective, sure, but I must admit, these just *look* like nice headphones. Big ear cups with a bronze ring on them, nice sleek, black finish? Love them, they look just as well in a studio as they do with at home listening. - Comfort. My goodness, I've owned my fair share of "over-ear" headphones and I must say, these truly are "over-ear." The padding is soft and remarkably thick, making it so these truly don't press the drivers up against your ears. I feel it evdn aids in the listening comfort to, the sound doesn't feel as though it's shot straight into your ear, the distance from the drivers plus the open-ear design really helps music sound like it's happening around you than directly in your ear. - Aux adapter. Included with the headphones is a wonderful 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable of impressive length, which even comes with an aux adapter. A very nice addition! - The soundstage. Music truly feels like it's happening around you with these on. The open-ear headphone experience is one I can never go back on. Music is no longer a sterile bit of sound blasted at my ears, it unfolds around me and envelopes me in listening bliss. MIXED - Clamp force. Don't get me wrong, the clamp force is perfectly, perfectly serviceable. Yet it must be noted that I have a rather big noggin, and still these still fall on the more medium, bordering on the medium-light side of clamp force. This could potentially be a problem for people with small heads, but it probably wouldn't hinder wearability to any extreme degree, just don't expect them to hug your head too tight if your head is indeed small when you engage in a bit of overzealous headbanging when listening to your favorite tracks. Light, even medium headbanging with these on and they still do hesitate to move, so this is a "your mileage may vary" point. - The bass. This is more of a headsup than a proper Mixed note on my part. If you're the type to listen to exclusively bass heavy tracks and/or the type to boost the bass on your music be mindful that these are open-ear headphones. These offer a more impressive soundstage than closed-ear but as such bass is less punchy, again, aiding in the more neutral "flat" sound that most audiophiles would prefer. That being said, bass is still very noticeable, but it won't rattle your brain. - Swivel ears. The ears have a fair bit of degrees of swivel to them. This is only a personal gripe, I just am not a big fan of swivel ears on headphones. They do not effect the comfort, but I just prefer a more rigid feel to my headphones, and it's just a nitpick of mine. CONS - Sound leak. This is just a byproduct of being open-ear headphones. Sound *will* leak out of these headphones, people around you will hear what you're listening to, so if you're concerned with interfering with others around you then it could be a problem. However if you've got your own place or room to vibe in or people who don't mind it then it isn't a concern. - The... price? The thing is, these headphones are WELL worth the original retail value of $180. If there didn't exist the SHP9500 these wouldn't even be noted. That being said, in spite of its minor upgrades it just depends on how much you're willing to shill out on your beginner pair of audiophile headphones. The SHP9500 model is fantastic, but these are *just that bit* better to me personally and makes it worth it. Look, when all is said and done, I can't help putting my experiences up front to help punch for this model. I love these headphones so much that I've put off on upgrading to much more expensive audiophile headphones. $180 is more than the $80 model, sure, but these have provided such a listening experience comfort that I've found myself not getting that itch to upgrade, and I think that says a lot about the quality of the SHP9600. They make me truly feel like I'm bopping with $500 headphones on my head, and my personal bit of advice (since you're still reading my review) that you need to pick these up. These are a safe horse to bet on. I unashamedly champion the SHP9600 model, they're my favorite pair of headphones I've ever owned, and I reckon it'll be years before I find a pair of headphones I favor over these. ## Features - All New Philips Shp9600 With The Perfect Blend Of Performance, Comfort, And Quality - Open-Back Design With Spacious Sound.

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. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDQQY95/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great headphones for a great price *by L***A on August 7, 2026* For less than $100 bucks there’s not much else out there that can compete with the quality of these.

I bought a like-new set for 50 bux, and that's a steal. The standard 3.5mm trs jack for the removable cord is awesome, as it eliminates the most common failure while allowing endless upgrades without soldering or disassembly. The included cord is thin and tangly, but you can get excellent replacements on Amazon for a few bux. My primary goal was to use these with a cheap bluetooth amp, and it's perfect for this. At this time, nobody makes an affordable open backed wireless headphone, so diy is the only choice. This headset, a $20 amp, a $5 8" patch cable, and a rubber band are all you need to upgrade these to some of the best wireless headphones under 100 bux. If you spend more on the amp, you'll be well rewarded, as these really are some premium speakers. Headphone sound quality is getting insanely good these days. Despite the low impedance, the 9600's quality is fantastic with a powerful amplifier, and excellent plugged into most jacks. I've always loved the bass power and clarity of several 250 ohm Beyerdynamic cans, but this Phillips can be more pleasing. With a strong amp and eq, these can pump lots of tight bass, while providing a fun, smooth, honest, detailed overall experience, no matter the genre. See online videos for thorough impressions, but this is very impressive. Comfort is excellent overall on my large head. The headset is lightweight with just the right clamping force to keep them in place while moving without pain or fatigue. I bought them for doing chores, but I've been sitting for hours in them recently. I usually dislike suspension strap designs, but this is a good one, with excellent adjustable range and no silly complications. Build quality feels excellent: good strong plastics and metal where you need it. I'm not afraid to knock them around a little. I agree with others' notes: The pads are a little disappointing, but only because of the scratchy material. The foam is comfortable for long listening, and many people won't mind the fabric. Try it before upgrading, many people will like these. For me, almost all headphones aren't deep enough, as my wide ears hate touching the padding. These are designed so you can stuff foam or cotton padding to increase space, and that works well. If you like to upgrade, you need mounting rings, and the best source is cheap pads. I pulled the fabric off a $6 set, and the remaining mounting ring perfectly fits 110mm circular replacement pads. Probably some oval pads as well, but the 110's are perfect for me. If you made it to the end of this review, you should probably try the SHP9600, it's truly one of the best deals in quality headphones, and might actually become my daily headphone for a while. ## Frequently Bought Together - PHILIPS Over Ear Open Back Stereo Headphones Wired with Detachable Audio Jack, Studio Monitor Headphones for Recording Podcast DJ Music Piano Guitar (SHP9600) - YOCOWOCO aptX Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Adapter for Philips SHP9600 Headphones with Mic/Volume Control, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/220778956-philips-over-ear-open-back-stereo-headphones-wired-with-detachable](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/220778956-philips-over-ear-open-back-stereo-headphones-wired-with-detachable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
