You really forgot didnt you, Z?
In the bathroom...the cable from the original SHP9500 is IN the bathroom
Nah, after he ended that vid he likely threw the cable out the window at the fiddler.
I guess it could be an unpopular opinion, based on the like-dislike ratio, but I really hated that you talked so much about dacs and microphones and other headphones and even recommended the philips headphones, when I just wanted to know about the SHP9500 and SHP9500s comparison.
I already have had that cheap dac and shp9500 combo for like a year, and I love it. So glad i randomly found that dac in a vid and u approved the combo.
Watching a video about the SHP9500 with a modmic while wearing a SHP9500 with a modmic.
Headphoneception is real.
Same!
sadly though the modmic sucks. Sounds over processed, and i much prefer the mic on my $23 SA-902. though, those aren't comfortable...so great for short recordings heh.
Just ordered a pair of these, a SMSL M3 and a high quality 3.5mm to 1/4" cable. I've been watching your vids for a few hours, thanks for all the great info.
Bought these on crazy sale with the Syba Sonic Amp/DAC that you have in the description of this video and couldn't be more happy, thank you. Please review the Syba Sonic Amp/DAC for future consumers!
So glad for this video. I got the S. Had them for over a year. And they are stil going strong. Only thing is the little cloth strap broke. Gonna get another pair soon.
Now that you did these, you gotta do X2 "vintage" vs X2HR
He finally did, two years after your comment.
lol
The hype is real. Appreciate the insight and glad to have found a nice inexpensive set of open cans that produce the type of sound I’ve been searching for. These paired with a Fiio A3 are a great combo, quick flip of the bass boost switch on certain types of music and it’s all you need. Enjoy your videos, keep it up.
Picked a set of those up for 50$ and the boom pro because it sounds better than a modmic. 50$!!!! crazy. Such a good gaming headset.
We have 3 of the originals and the Vmoda mikes in the house...lol Make sure you hook up the SHP9500's to some real power at least once. They are really good for music as well. Had mine since the original review and have really enjoyed them, especially for the money. Unbeatable.....
I really need to get a decent dac/amp. Maybe the one he showed in this video. I'm not a big spender on stuff like this, but I like to get the best I can within my budget, for a gaming headset there is none better than this combo, I've tried so many. The only other set I liked was Hyperx cloud 2's, but those are closed and the mic is only so so. I think it's removable though, so plugging in a boompro would be a possibility.. hmmm..
Yes, another huge benefit is the fact that they are open backed. It allows you to be aware of your environment and I rarely sweat in mine and they are very comfortable no doubt about it... I would definitely look into getting a dac amp combo or something like it that is on the cheap side. If you have a PS you could use the optical for that purpose, just not on the mic....but single player games would be amazing, like Horizon: ZERO DAWN.
I got my SHP9500s' today and damn, they sound amazing. My first open headphones. I thought the bass would be light, but it's perfect. To think they'll sound even better after being properly broken in is just WOW. Using a Denon AVR-S530BT headphone out to amp them right now (USB -> Coax -> Denon). Loving it.
I´m all into sim racing and I love my Philips SHP9500s when racing and streaming, combined with the Vero Moda Boom Pro Mic it is a "end game" for me. Some say it is overkill for sim racing but I say all worth it and I gladly show interested this lovely review! Thanks for all your great work!
Love your reviews. Been wanting to get new headphone so watching these are very helpful.
I'm thinking of getting Philips SHP9500s or Audio Technica M40X still researching, but really like the reviews on philips plus price is nice.
FirstLTRipvanWinkle M40X is more versatile and you can get away with using them on the go, I'd decide literally JUST whether you can use open backs. They're both absolutely amazing, but closed vs open. Let that be the deciding factor.
Thank you Z I bought the shp9500s for around $52 US dollars and the v moba this was around 4 months ago and they were really good.
Thanks for your honest reviews bc of your reviews I bought the m40s and the Phillips.. And yes I changed the pads and wires to my m40s both are fucking awesome thanks again
just got my pair and omfg they are so good thankyou very much the bug has me and wont let go
got these because of you Z , three months ago, i cannot be happier ! For some songs and games I use APO eq with PEACE to bring up some bass , but mainly i don't even use the equalizer . 11/10
Have that Syba Sonic DAC/amp, it’s quite decent and really feature-rich, and I love that it has both a 1/4” and 1/8” jack so I never need an adaptor for any of my headphones.
Have you used a microphone through it? I want to know if there's any static/noise via the Syba because the reviews on Amazon don't really help since they don't specify what product when there's multiple on it
THE mic works like magic mate! no static/noise.. and this is coming from a guys that was using the mic jack coming straight from an ASUS Maximus VIII and the syba is waaaay better :D hope it helps
Thanks for the response! I am on an older system, sandy bridge mobo and all that, so i'm expecting different results based on that if any but i wanted some reassurance.
I would greatly appreciate it if you redo the sound demo for these with your new set-up. Thanks Z!
I love my SHP9500. I have 2 pair. Bought them both $50 each on Newegg sales after Z's first review. Since then I have bought several headphones including the Audeze LCD 3. I have to say the SHP9500 are still used in my collection and hold their own in both sound and comfort. Amazing value for the price!
Just got some fidelio x2s for my bday thanks for the review m8
GSX 1000 HYPE! Can't wait!
When is the review for the Sennheiser GSX1000, and SybaSonic Amp/ Dac coming? Thanks for the great reviews! I just got my Fidelio X2HR's and I love them. Next I'm looking for an Amp/ Dac. Currently looking at the Mayflower ARC but you have my attention with the $38 SybaSonic as a temporary solution.
Philips SHP9500 and a Mod Mic with an included Audioengine D1 was and still is I believe one of the best purchases for my gaming setup. Almost wish I went with a Schiit Fulla 2 though because of the 1/4-Inch input and awesome knob.
Glad the SHPs still the same amazeballs. Just recommend them to a friend of mine.
last time I was watching the original review on vintage one and having my SHP9500Son the way, this time I was with that and watching this.
So.. is the Syba Sonic Amp/Dac good? I'm trying to find a great dac/amp for under 50
Hey Zeos,
Ive been looking at these for a while, but now im struggling to figure out whether to get these, or, the Lasmex l-85. Which would you pick?
Waiting for mine to come in tomorrow, and returning these A10's.
for those of you still wondering the only difference is the wire change, the headphone still says SHP9500 on the inside of the headband, so the headphones are identical, just a new wire.
When using these for gaming with the boom pro does the mic pick up the sound from the headphones?
You should definately review the AD700Xes when you have the chance! I'd like to know your opinion on them.
to straiten my cords, i get a clothes hanger and two clothespins or metal band paper clips (not the small little wire ones, black with chrome folding handles), pin it from the thick part of the plastic on the plug (not the wire of course) then i clip the other to the other end of the thick plastic of the plug, and hang it in my closet.. come back in a few days.. maybe a week at most.. usually does the trick, but i see a diff after 3 days of this so..
some wires wont work with this method.. but a lot do.
I wonder how good will this setup be: SHP9500S; NeoMusicia mic, and the Syba Sonic AMP/DAC mic
Zeos please do Syba Sonic DAC/Amp review, it is rich in features, but does it even improve anything? for Ω32-150ohm headphones, like SHP9500, CB-1, M40X, Fostex T50RP and Fidelio X2 really interested if this cheapie is worth it, for everyday speakers and headphones combo. Or a bit more advanced brother M-Audio Super DAC. Really love SMSL M3, but it lacks features, would get Origen+ but it is not available in EU. VOTE UP GUYS, Cheers.
I'm watching this video wearing SHP9500s, and with stock cable, which is fine IMO.
Hey Z! These headphones went up to $250!? How the heck? I’m glad I bought them a few years back when I saw your review. I was trying to recommend them to my cousin, and then I saw the price. Shame
Thanks Z - love your work!
Thanks Z
Love the 9500's.
Disregarding the microphone, for gaming do you recommend the SHP9500s over the HD698B? I play R6 and accurate positional audio is a necessity. Can't wait to see what you think of the Sennheiser GSX1000.
I have been tripping on wires of my headphone. Zeos, do you got a recommendation for these problems?
Hi zeos, I bought the shp's last year and couldn't be more pleased with them, however i'm now looking for a set of closed cans within a budget of about $200. The most important factors are comfort and noise isolation, and I was wondering which would be better for those qualities between the m40x with brainwavz angled pleather pads, and the stock cb-1 headset (or if you think something else would be better, that too). Thanks in advance for helping.
Edit: I prefer softer pads which is why im thinking about going with the hm5's over the zmf's, though ive never been able to actually feel either in person.
you bought m40x?
@@Croftbr i never ended up getting the m40x's, no. I did buy the cb1's years ago, but i would reccomend the takstar pro 82's if comfort is your thing. They are decently isolating, incredibly comfortable stock, cheap, and have decent sound. I would bet the m40's have better sound, but far worse stock comfort.
Hi Zeo, on May 11, 2015 you reviewed Philips Fidelio X2 then on Sep 18, 2015 you reviewed Philips SHP9500 (and SHP9500s one year later). You raved all of them. Which one would you buy, given the big price differece?
Zeos i get so motion sick,but i just can't stop effing watching lol>
Sennheiser GSX 1000 Z Review coming soon? Good.
There's a 2.0 HD setting in it that I would like to hear Z thoughts on. Does that setup compare to a regular low-powered Amp?
Zeos, thanks for the review! I just got my pair of shp9500s from Newegg, and I'm in love! They sound great (especially for the price) and they are definitely some of the most comfortable set of headphones I've ever worn. I can't wait to get my v moda boompro mic to complete my gaming headset :)
Hi Zeos, are the SHP 9500 still your recommendation for an open pair of gaming headphones or the Superlux HD 668B? Regards from Germany.
So do I need a dac if I get these headphones and the vmoda boom pro mic? Or can I just run it of my motherboard?
Have you had success using the SHP9500S + Boom Pro combo with that Syba Sonic since making this video? I just purchased those phones and mic and since my mobo's mic input doesn't work I was thinking about getting the Syba as well. Should I just buy a cheap USB External Sound Card Adapter or will this Syba actually improve the sound quality?
damn never heard of these heaphones, and saw this vid in my recommended.. why did phillips discontinue these? can't seem to find them anywhere on the net.
Hey, I have used the shp 9500 for 3 days now and I have seen people say that with the correct EQ settings then it can make the headphones sound much better. I am currently using shields42 from reddit and I'm split between whether I prefer the stock or the modified sound. If anyone can help with their peace configuration then I'll highly appreciated it.
Bro mans keep up what your doing .. you give the best personal opinion reviews! Fucking A !!!!!!
Hey Z, been appreciating all your vids. Could you please tell me if you know anything about the Fidelio x2hr’s! I just purchased a pair from eBay, but they seem like a unicorn online with no info on them, making me second guess my purchase. Thanks in advance.
I can get the Philips fidelio x2 for 130 $ in Sweden right now - would they be worth getting over the SHP9500 (around 100-130 atm)?
I bought SHP9500S a month or two ago and got a new cord for it soon after as it wasn't the length I wanted and immediately noticed a difference. The stock cable is crap.
@Z Reviews Which one has more bass, the modded SHP9500 with the 3D printed cups and new pads or the Fostex Argon? Which one do you like and enjoy better for gaming and music with heavy/hard hitting bass? Thanks in advance!
Which of the 3 would be the ideal to own? - Philips Fidelio X2HR, Monoprice M1060 or Hifiman HE400i? ( if you consider the price with Monoprice being the most expensive and Hifiman the cheapest )
Does the MPOW Bluetooth receiver have latency while watching TH-cam or gaming?
That Standard Vmoda Cable is sold out and no restock date. I looked at others and they all seemed to have more cable failures. Do you recommend I wait or keep looking what?
so concise.
Today is the first time I listen to my SH9500, and I cried with the first song I listen to using it. My god it's actually so good.
Got my 9500s's referbished on Newegg for $30. Couldn't be more happy with them for that price. Although I still prefer both the sound and comfort of my HD650's over them.
So, If I have an external dac/amp SMSL M3, already, and want to connect the headphones into the M3, How would I be able to attach a mic, the V Moda to it to work as well?
Did you shot this video by Gopro? Thanks
on sale for $60 CAD right now, tempted to grab them and a boom pro mic but i'm wondering if these things will leak enough to have the mic pick it up. would be the first set of open headphones for me and i'd hate to not be able to use them with the mic.
Still using my shps or my gaming, seriously it's the best thing ever.
I bought a turtle beach headset on clearance for 50 or less bucks, only used it for a few days and went back to my Phillips. It seriously is the best thing.
Only thing I tinker with is the voice option on Xbox one, since some games have louder effects than most (BF1 is one where I put the voice volume louder, pubg I can go one or two notches above 0).
I need to find something that'll absorb my sweat from the fabric, always leaving a oily/blotchy spot if I lay them on paper or something else that'll absorb lol.
Also bought the shp9500 with the v-moda boom pro mic from his video. I can't use anything else for gaming they are as good as he says. I've tried different hyperx clouds and astro headsets and they don't compare to this combo. It literally feels like my head is being pleasured by the headphones.
Using my shp9500s to listen to this video. My v moda boompro is on its way. But they seem underwhelming? Atm w the stock cable, it seems underwhelming. And was very quiet compared to my Razer headset when I tried em out on my ps4. Is it the stock cable being trash? I greatly hope the vmoda enhances it, cuz they were too quiet while gaming w stock cable
good wallpaper + megumin lying down face down
well done Z
what kind of (DAC/)AMP would you recommend for the HiFiMAN HE-400i? Tube or solid state? and which? shouldnt be too expensive :)
so the v-moda cable angled end is made for the output and not the headphones....
ETA on the Syba Sonic review?
You should do review on logitech 2.1 or 5.1 speakers, i was always wondering how would someone with alot of experience rate them since most of reviews are made from people that are not into audio stuff
Solid nendo choice
What else hardware I need to run this headphones with a PC to be able to listen to a decent sound?
Yeah, so for some reason these headphones now cost $200 on Amazon? And like $140 on Newegg? Everybody is saying they cost $60-70, but apparently not
megumin just chilling
thesadprofesso megumin just dying
SchaMmyyy she's not dead, there was just an EXPLOSION recently.
megumin
well based on yr review i got shp 9500 but it sounds dull right from the box, how many hours it takes to break in ? i did compare with my old hd558 and its huge difference in sound clarity
tried on pc as well my arcam avr30 with and master quality source .do i miss something or i expect too much from cheap headphones
Best open under 200 with great comfort? Koss Porta pro ! But I am still inclined to try those 9500
hey zeos, would you pad roll on your hd 600s? dekoni has a drop on MD for their velour and leather pads on right now and im trying to decide if i should get a pair for my 6xx i have coming in the mail
Is the sennheiser hd58x or hd6xx worth the extra money? And if so. I hear very conflicting reports about the hd6xx without amp. Some say it's fine some say its horrible. So could the hd6xx be used on my computer without an amp?
First time viewer here, since these are the goto for under 200 open back is there a vid for the recommended closed backs?
second hand hd600 with an amp, k612 pro with an amp, dt880600 with an amp.
taief miah none of those are under $200
dt880600 is, k612 pro is $100 and second hand hd600s go for $150 the dac x6 is viable
Kenneth Ng Z would recommend the audio technica m40x for closed at a similar price. Check out his recommended lists on Reddit, they will be your guide...
taief miah amps cost money
Will the SHP9500 work fine if i will use them as a headset in a home studio? as if i have a condenser microphone, am i risking by taking such open back headphones a sound leakage that will enter my microphone while recording?
Hey z, if my motherboard gigabyte ab-350 gaming 3 has built in sound card already (Realtek ALC1220 codec, not sure if that's what you called it), would using the syba improve the sound substantially? Using shp9500 + vmoda boompro just like you did.
I do notice constant hiss and sometime cracks while connecting directly to MB, or front panel.
hi there is some difference in the sound between the two headphones as the box says it has different frequencies z review.
So which ones should I get if they’re the same price and I’m changing the cable
Yes
Z EL-8C, TH610 or Sony Z7? I need good isolation and something for gaming.
shp9500 +fx audio dac-x6 is a best choose for the price ?
Zeos, these or Takstar Pro 82 in terms of comfort?
Either still on sale or back on sale on Newegg for $52. As of 1/6/18
You don't have the 9500s link up once I click on your link took to Amazon showing the 9500.check it out
Open box on Newegg for $38, dunno if they'll go back in stock.
Glad I got these when I did cuz these are selling for $200+!
$70 today at newegg...
Z Reviews, did I make a mistake buying the Superlux instead of buying these headphones?
They are back on stock at $79!
The "FUCK" you let out at around 6:10-6:15 hahaha
Ok, my only thought is that if someone doesn't mind some highs, the DT-990 make great open back gamers. I prefer the sound overall. But the Philips are still a very close runner and the price is exuberant.
I have DT-990 Premium 250 Ohm and sound, build quality and comfort are exceptional.
Yeah, DT990 has everything a gaming headphones needs. wide sound stage, great imaging, great bass and ultra clear sound.
Nima V that's right. The Philips don't punch as hard or as clear.
Any idea as to what Dac/amp is the on the right? the one which he connected first.
Zeos plz! I bought this summer the HD600 and the X7s. is it worth going on XLR for the HD600?Did you noticed big difference or small or not at all ,I am saying this because i didn't find cheap XLR cable for the 600s plz.
Is $100 for the schitt fulla worth it to power the SHP500-boompro headset? Or $40 syba Sonic?
