Philips SHP9600MB Wired Headphones with Microphone -Over-Ear Open-Back Headset, 50 mm Neodymium Drivers (SHP9600MB) - Black

I have had this headphone fr almost a year and its simply the best purchase of my life when it comes to audio. It blows everything believe me everything out of the water like ath m50x, sennheiser series, soundmagic, sony's. Nothing can touch it and if you pair it with a decent amp it just transports you to another world. Simply put they are the best, most comfortable ( albeit a bit sweaty if you wear it for a long time) pair of cans for this price point and would compete with headphones 10x the price.

Look no further if your budget is under 200USD and if you're looking for all-day headphones. The sound quality is phenomenal. Remember it is open-backed design and it leaks all the sound to your surroundings.

Absolute perfect sound quality .

Comfortable headphones. Can be wore all day.Detailed treble,Good midrange,not much bass but very tight and detailed.Soundstage is good but average for open back.All in all much better than the popular M50x for the average listener.

Well what can I say about these babies!Let's divide the review into two parts which are really important before buying any headphones1)Comfort and build quality : Build quality is OK majority is hard plastic which is strong and does not feel cheap atleast for me.Adjustable metal strap with numbers is what I liked the most about its build.You get a soft fabric like material surrounding ear cups and head band which took some time for my skin to get used to but the cushion is really soft and feels like cloud when you wear it.These are the most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever put on.After a while they just disappear and you feel like there is nothing on you head.The clamp force is just enough and I feel it is slightly loose.You can use any 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm wire as it is easily replaceable.The wire given with these headphones are average2)Sound : I don't know too much about the technical stuff but as an avid listener of all genres of music.These are the best I have ever heard.Some say these are even better than Sennheiser HD600.That says a lot about these headphones.The sound stage is simply amazing.While watching movies I feel like I am in the movie.You can hear precision instruments with amazing clarity.Mids and highs are the strongest points of these.With 50 ohm impedance you don't even need an amp to drive them.That's efficiency for you.As these are open back headphones lows are just ok,The bass is just present and does not distort the whole music like many other headphones do.Also be aware these are open back headphones and sound leaks if you keep the volume at 65-70% which is insanely loud.Otherwise it is normal and these aren't the headphones you should use in libraries and planes though.Final word : If you want to hear EDM's and bass heavy songs these aren't for you.Also beware of the open back nature of these headphones.But if all you care for is the sound clarity and if you want the best sound stage for movies.This should be your pick

You get what you pay for , nothing exciting abt this , average or good for the price...you wil get good sound as you use it more and more...i thinkbeats is better ..

First of all these are one of the best sounding headphones i ever owned.The sound is near neutral with clean mids,detailed treble and decent highs,sound can be compared to the Sennheiser hd600 although they are more refined,the comfort is also way up there among the best headphones,the build quality is the weakest but can't expect much at budget headphone.The negative here is the pricing,while it's being sold in US for near 4000 they are selling it in India for triple the price for that price you can get sennheiser hd6xx massdrop edition which is Chinese made hd650 featuring same features.If these headphones where available for 5k or 6k it should be worth buying.But for 12k definitely is not worth the money.

DON'T BUY IT FROM HERE AT LEAST THEY ARE SELLING AT 2.5 TIMES MORE THAN WHAT IT SHOULD COST. GOOD HEADPHONES BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH FOR SUCH PRICE
