First Open-Back Headphones I've Owned: Philips SHP9500 Review

Check them out on Amazon: geni.us/LMuADkB (affiliate link)
My first ever open-back headphones that I've reviewed. And honestly, the first "audiophile" pair of headphones I've owned. I've always used the HyperX Cloud 2s for everything, and the Bose QC35 for everything else. And these are amazing with great sound, but will I keep them? I'm not sure about that.

[@snooganssupreme1339]

A few words of encouragement (hopefully) that I felt compelled to share... 1. I stumbled across your channel a few months ago and would 100% agree the sound and video quality is, as you say, a stark difference. One faucet of my profession is sound and audio. I say that to say I never once was repulsed by the quality of the sound and video because the quality of the content, in my opinion was superb. I love the reviews, the transparency, and just the whole vibe of the channel. 2. Striving for improvements is always great but you are correct, there comes a time when it’s good to “stop and smell the roses”. Sometimes we get so caught up in the journey itself that we forget to enjoy the seasons the journey take us through. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious about it I would say it’s a good time to breathe. It’s good you realize it now rather than later when it’s too late (I’ve been there). 3. Once again, I love the channel. I love that you’re branching out and trying new things with the audio reviews. For whatever that opinion is worth. You’re doing great. You’re never going to please everyone. If by the end of making a video you feel like you’ve done solid work then celebrate that. Don’t focus on what wasn’t done well but enjoy accomplishments! Take Care, and sorry for the novel. I just hate seeing people get discouraged when they’re doing great work.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thank you so much. Very encouraging novel 👌

[@evilmunki54]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial it definitely was! There have been some other reviews done by similar channels but they go into really "audiophile" territory which is kind of hard to understand cause I can't relate to it well. As a lay-person, your review was easy to understand experience-wise. Forr the future, I think you should consider testing your headphones with an amp though to see if it makes a difference for people who do/do not have an amp. Just one thing i thought about because i know some headphones are not that great without an amp :)

Sometimes we try to make all at once but it's nothing wrong to improve one thing at a time. Give it some time to Settle. Then focus on the next improvement. Prioritizing following in some way the 80/20 principle will help too. If you keep making *good content in your own way* we'll keep enjoying the channel.

I was looking for a review of these and found you again! Neato

[@kairon156]

I've had my SHP9500's for the better part of a decade and I didn't realize that band could come off. Looks like I get to wash it tomorrow. As a guy who's 5'1 it's nice seeing someone else the same height as me wearing them. I just learned that braided audio cables have a weird echo effect when they brush against things. I'll be getting a non braided one in the summer. I went from cheap $40-$60 headphones until I found these lovely $115 (Canadian) ones and never went back. If I ever spend over $100 on headphones again I'll make sure to get noise isolating closed ear headphones. I never thought about my head size in terms of comfort, I've always enjoyed being smaller than my computer chairs so it felt normal for headphones too. I'll have to look into that later on. With life knowing when enough is enough is a tough lesson, and I do feel for KZbinrs who show their space they have to balance what they want vs the viewers.

I had the same impressions with the SPH9500. I had the vmoda boom mic attached, which coined this as the gaming headset killer. But I kind of wanted more bass to increase immersion so now I'm rocking the KPH30i + Vever GS1000i pads + Fiio K3 (bass boost on) + USB goose mic.

Not sure how much they cost over there in the USA now but a couple years ago they cost like £50 here in the UK, now you're lucky to find them for £150. People mass bought them I think, sometimes you can find a good price copy available through Amazon US global store or ebay but I haven't got them Very happy with my AKG K712 Pros, upgraded from the Sennheiser HD 598 SE :) The 598 SE have near no passive noise cancellation they're probably as open as can be but the AKG do a bit more and respond really nice to EQ

You are doing an incredible job with production! Keep it up! Don't stress about the details and focus on content. That is far more important anyway.

Other headphones you should check out are the Sony MDR-7506 (my daily driver), Audio Technica ath40x (another fave), and for open back, the AKG K240 .

Great review! I drive these on a daily basis with an affordable AMP/DAC combo and they're really a great option in my opinion. Evolve at your own pace! Just like there is no "endgame" keyboard, there is no "endgame" filmmaking look. Ultimately, it is all personal preference and you have to what works best for YOU: your budget, your goals, etc. Keep punching out those great videos and amazing reviews. Create, create, create - at your own desire. You've made it clear to all of us that the passion is there, that is why we click each time. I am sure that I can speak for everyone when I say that no matter how many lights you have, how expensive your camera is, or how cinematic the video is, we are here for the great content that is being created from this channel.

Whoa, I always wanted to get these headphones. Can you also try the AKG version of these, which are the Akg Pro Audio K245

[@Benri05]

You can get custom 3d printed earpad adapters for the shp9500 for like 5$, I'm currently using one with shure 840 pads and hm5 pads, the shure ones preserves most of the sound signature but with punchier bass, the hm5 makes the sound quited veiled, especially the highs becomes tame but quite muddy sounding.

[@countduckula9977]

Hi Betty, Thank you for doing this video on open-back headphones [I've never heard of these type of headphones]. I noticed that they contain 50mm drivers [I heard the bigger the size of drivers the better the sound, I could be wrong], my headphones only have 40mm drivers, which provide excellent sound reproduction. Philips might have missed a trick in that they should cater for people with smaller sized heads. Have you tried putting some extra padding between supplied padding, so that it will fit you? I like the design of these headphones, but for £58.59 they seem a bit expensive. I paid just £10 or $12.80 for my pair from Lidl. I am not sure that I like the idea of my music spilling out, but like the idea that it doesn't get too hot whilst wearing these headphones. I have had problems with leather like materials disintegrating after a few years use in the past. As for the length of supplied cable, does it lose something in sound quality due to the long length? I got to the end of your video and I'd say that you have done a great job with these videos and I hope you continue I like all your numerous subscribers appreciate the hard work you have placed in producing these YT videos. As a thank you please listen to this track whilst sitting down or better still reclining and with your eyes closed. You will hear why. Artist: Eurythmics Song: I Love You Like A Ball And Chain kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TUinSCfshnoLc [a link to another KZbin post].

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I haven't tried extra padding, but I assume that would help a bit. switchandclick.com/2020/09/26/is-bigger-driver-size-better-in-headphones/ Bigger drivers doesn't necessary mean better :P

[@zyerath]

You're doing great, just remember that people are more motivated to complain than to praise, so don't let it get to you if you're seeing more negative feedback than the good ones. In regards to the channel branching out, personally I'm more interested in mkb than audiophile gears. I go for the budget options for both category anyways, but it's easier to see and understand the improvements in mkb, than to understand the descriptions of how a headsets sounds like.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Ikr headphones are so subjective. Thank you for the support

[@Kelig]

This video is absolutely perfect for me. You even have the same current headphones I have (Hyperx Cloud 2). My main concern is the noise leakage. My walls are pretty thin and my room is next to my parents, I'm also normally awake at night so I'm really concerned that I'll wake them up. Would you say it leaks enough sound to maybe wake them up? (I know that's a very hard question to answer because of tthe amount of variables). Anyway, thanks!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I would say no, as long as you don't listen to super loud rock/edm music with intense guitar solos or play FPS games at a loud volume

[@kornenator]

Nice review, keep it up! Looking forward to the Hifimans (Hifimen? what's the plural of that) as well, those are supposed to be at least a tier up from these. If open-back cans are not suitable for your use, you could eventually try something like the Fostex TH-X00, they are semi-closed, so there's less pressure than with fully closed ones, but they also don't leak that much sound either.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I actually returned the Hifimans. They sounded AMAZING but there was no cushion on the headband and the metal frame of it dug into my head within an hour. I'm waiting for Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro now :)

[@kornenator]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial Ouch, i'd expect better quality than that from Drop :/ I only tried the non-Drop version of them, and they seemed fair, but not premium quality of course. DT990-s should be super comfortable though, especially with the velour/plush ear pads. They are also easier to drive (unless you got the 600 Ohm version). Planarmagnetic is still my favourite, and not a lot of brands make them (Hifiman, Audeze, Oppo and Fostex and a few smaller manufacture type brands). The planar drivers tend to provide better clarity and more precise sound (though it's best to pair them with a high quality sound source to get the best result).

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

The audio quality of the Hifimans were the best I've ever listened to. I got the 80 ohms DT 990 Pro. I should be able to drive them with the Schiit FUlla 3 (no I'm not a gamer, but it was affordable haha)

[@kornenator]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial Schiit is a decent brand, and still affordable. Haven't heard the Fulla yet, but the component sheet lists a nice DAC chip and the OPA is fine as well, though the output power is not the highest. If you feel that it's becoming a bottleneck later on, you can still upgrade, but until that happens, no need to spend all the money in the world :)

I highly recommend you to send back the 4xx, and get a 400i 2020 instead, also you will need an amp for both of them, zendac has a great dac and a powerful enough amp to power the 400i 2020, not sure about the 4xx tho, if you want just an amp magni 3+/heresy or jds atom or topping l30 is great start, they can all power a lot of headphones if you want to upgrade in the future.

[@HendrilMuinarczyki]

Headphones are, like most things, a game of compromises. Open-back ones leak audio and lack bass in exchange for great detail and a wider sound stage; closed-back ones don't leak audio and are bassy but are less detailed and usually compensate for the narrow sound stage with software that lowers the audio quality. There is no such thing as a universally perfect headphone - it's up to you to analyze which of these features are more important to you. If you use them in a work environment where you're close to someone else, of course leaking audio is a no-no, so you're probably going to enjoy more the closed-back options. If you do want some middle ground, try the Arcano SHP-80s. They have a semi-open back so they don't leak as much audio and can therefore retain a some of the detail and have a little wider sound stage than a closed-back headphone. They also have a little bit more clamping, while still being very light and comfortable. About the SHP-9500: since it's "cheap" for an open-back headphone (which it isn't, but the other options are even more expensive), it's expected for it to have more cons than the others, like the poor quality cable and the non-existant clamping. The headphone industry is, like any other, profit-oriented. Sadly.

This is the video review that honestly made me buy this headphone, i have not recieved it yet, but the biggest selling point for me, besides the amazing audio-quality, is the fact that it is absolutely big, as someone who is at the heavier side, i've always had insecurities on how small my headphones looked when i wear them since i have a more rounder head-shape.

hyper x cloud 2 or this ?

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

They're completely different... Comfort wise I choose hyperx

[@3mn422]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial so for you much better to buy hyper x ? for comfort and durability? im planing to use this for gaming and discord only.

[@lostandfound6501]

These will be more comfortable for men. Hyperx has too much for clamp force for hours of use

[@spazco8669]

the soundstage and imaging of the SHP9500 absolutely destroys the cloud 2. The cloud orbit's are generally on sale and a good alternative. They have 100mm planar magnetic drivers made by audeze.

Pads are replaceable, it's clipped in with the plastic.

[@chrom4ful]

Not to disrespect Phillips Let's be honest here Should have gone for hd650, or hd600/hd6xx heck even hd580 is better than this philips

[@Aforgamon]

They also all cost more... The whole draw of these headphones was always their performance FOR THE PRICE

[@spazco8669]

*facepalm.

[@Luis-wp3qt]

Because this costs a fraction of what those headphones cost

[@Benri05]

300$ vs 70$ lol that's not even a fair comparison and the sound quality doesn't justify 300$, match it up against a sundara which is also 300$ haha.
