What is your opinion of the 9600??
Idk
@@bennyride absolutely
I like them a lot, as first open back headphone and for less than 100 usd is a very good option.
Well you're right. It is an ok headphone, but I don't listen to it. So I couldn't recommend it.
Got them for 60$ . Even for 100$ would be a really good value.
I was about to pull the trigger on the 9500 but saw the 9600 on sale for the same price. Given that I prefer more bass and not as harsh treble, I decided to go for the 9600. No regrets whatsoever, it’s pretty good especially for the discounted price I got it for.
99$?
I found one for 68 USd you think he is worth the spend?
@@Grandmaster-Kush yes. I would say good value even for 100$ . Never get harsh and sound good with all kinds of music
@@Grandmaster-Kush l2 as well...i got mine for $60
@@caliginousmoira8565 They are great, after 6 months I have zero complaints at all, I can wear theem for hours, great sound, great for music, gaming movies, i'll buy another pair when these are finished.
Thank you for giving us reviews and not advertisements.
Many reviewers out there have no problems recommending any new thing that can produce passable sound. Be it for profit or for exposure.
That said I personally think the 9600s look and sound great!
Thanks man! I agree. The problem is that people still fall for the same reviewers doing the same crap instead of NOT enabling them and continuing to make that dishonest lifestyle possible.
Hey man thanks for explaining the philips. I agree with you. I am also back using more the headhphone. It's very nice we both have this love. Let's keep it forever! Hey man as usual great review, keep on doing this! Many hi5s from the netherlands alex
Thanks man! How are things on your end?
@@HomeStudioBasicsIt's okay, many times tired, but mwuah it's okay. Studiotime everyday. Going for a walk. Also back on the headphones. How about you man?
@@Alex-underground Do you have some tracks that I can listen to? And me, well, that's complicated heh.
Be interesting to see a video about what 5 headphones you would own if you could only choose 5.
Yes! That one is coming man! I have been thinking about that and how I'm going to do it.
@@HomeStudioBasics Nice. Some tough decisions I think!
OMG TOP 5 headphones!! Can’t wait!
As a note, the 9500 is discontinued, as such, prices on Amazon will be over 100 USD now.
Just checked they're still under $100 at around the same price.
@@HomeStudioBasics Apparently some reseller bought tons of them and started selling them again. Probably why Phillips went out of stock.
It’s worth it more to pad swap the 9500 instead of getting the 9600. I’ve been using the dekoni midnight pads and they sound awesome.
Yeah I think so too. I was going to get these rings www.modhouseaudio.com/shp9500_adapter_rings/philips-shp9500-mod-3d-printed-pad-adapters and fit them with these (not aff link): www.amazon.com/Shure-HPAEC940-Replacement-Velour-Headphones/dp/B005OM06RG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492057099&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=shure+940+ear+pads but I don't know for sure if those pads will fit around them. I def don't want to rip the pads off and I know it can be avoided by just getting the adapters. I will have to bookmark the midnight pads you mention! Do they alter the sound any? I'd like to keep the sound mostly as-is.
Ive always viewed the SHP9600 as its own thing more than a "revision" or "upgrade" of the 9500 and that they aren't easily comparable, and that Phillips should've marketed the 9600 differently.
they're a pretty good relaxed headphone for just enjoying anything in my opinion, meanwhile the 9500 is up there in the sound style of the HD600's and all those other airy neutral headphones.
But hey that's the beauty of headphones/music, its all subjective and everyone is free to enjoy what they enjoy!
I have it, and use them for music production on the side, it has a sweet audio profile, and its cheap compared to headsets with that range of audio quality, for 70 dollars you cant expect a world beater.
You're starting to look like Jesus, praise thee oh lord of audio.
wait, you've seen Jesus?
LMao, starting to? Where have you been? People have been making the Jesus comparisons for weeks now. Perhaps if you spent more time on the internet instead of having a life, you'd be able to discern that. 😂
I found a pair new/returned for $55 and replaced a set of old SteelSeries 350's with them. Relative to that position it was a pretty damned good choice. For $130, probably not. Sennheiser 599's can be found around $95 if you're lucky.
Nice!
currently sitting on 9500 and looking where to go next, thanks for this
My pleasure man! Let me know what you decide.
Nice man. Thx for the update! 👌👌
I love my SHP9500s! Would like to hear 9600s to compare, but I have a feeling I would still prefer the 9500s from what I've heard. I tend to like my treble and mids more than "boomy" bass.
Just bought the 9600 for $53, delivered. Should arrive in 4-7 days. Looking to use for both listening and playing guitar and keyboards. Free return if I don't like.
Let me know your thoughts!
@@HomeStudioBasics I would prefer stronger high frequencies as at my age I am somewhat deficient in the area of the female voice. I can adjust this with equalization, my comments are with the EQ off. Other than that the sound is well balance. The headset is very comfortable, zero complaints here. Build quality is pretty good for this price range. I especially like (and this was one of the reasons for my choice) that the earcups and headband lack that cheap fake leather that invariably starts to disintegrate over time. I'm not sure how I feel about the open diaphragm design, I am more used to the closed style (apart from an excellent pair of Sennheiser headphone that I had over 30 years ago).
Hey man, great video. I just purchased the SHP9600 yesterday for 71 usd. Do you think I should buy the SHP9500 instead?
Thanks man! I personally like the 9500 better because it's clearer, more open, and I'm not a huge fan of mid-bass bumps anymore. I pretty much never listen to my 9600 so yeah. The only caveat is the hot treble on the 9500 but it's not as big of a deal as some make it out to be.
I think the 9500 are gradually becoming a legendary status, yet affordable. That reminds what happened to the Rode NT1A, regarding mics.
Honestly I LOVE my 9600. Sounds amazing to someone who's new to quality audio. It was also like 70 or 80 when I bought it, well worth the money
Hello! i am currently debating whether to go for 9500 or 9600 but have no idea on audiophile terms as i have just started looking into headphones that are good for music. I have always used basic cheap gaming headphones and since my streaming mic is now seperate, i wanted to give myself the chance to try out headphones for music listening. I don't really know what bass/treble is, but the music i generally listen to are kpop/pop/lo-fi and i game a lot. Based on those uses what would you recommend? 9500 or the 9600?
I preffer the 9500 for neutrality but non audiophile or beginer audiophiles say they are the same but that 9600 is bassier
Yes 9500 is my preferred :)
Is the bass good enough for gaming?
I don't have much money and bought the 9600 knowing I'd be locked in for a good while and honestly I felt the bass was too pronounced for my particular taste. After listening to some familiar music I don't like the way they sound out of the box. Then I found Wavelet for Android and set the autoeq to this model of headphones. It vastly improved the sound of the 9600s. I obviously don't recommend this to anyone that can just get another set of headphones, but for anyone like me they made these headphones not a waste of money.
Based on your video comparing the 9500 and the 9600, I ordered the 9600 from Amazon for $68.97. I may order the 9500 for $59.47 and return the pair that doesn't cut it. By the way, I really like the poster from They Live which is one of my favorite John Carpenter movies and soundtracks!
Thanks man! Love that movie. I got that poster signed by Roddy himself! Let me know which headphone you decide on.
@@HomeStudioBasics I got the 9600's but returned them and got the X2HR's which are amazing to me!!! Roddy signed that poster? Very cool!!!
Once I broke the 9600s in I liked them but I feel like I am listening with sound deadening foam overhead. They are not bad but not great.
Yeah man they have a semi-weird signature for sure. It almost feels like they couldn't decide whether or not it's for bass heads or neutral heads.
SHP9500s have still been my favorite set of cans for over 3 years. Even when compared to the 50+ cans ie owned throught life from $200-$700 and all the ones ive listened to from Buddies in the Music Industry. i think thats why I bought have 4 more pairs when they were on sale for $45 bucks year. Right now they are a steal at $60 for Cyber Monday. Sadly not enough people will be snaggin' them up for that price. Its rare to find Speakers, IEMS and Great Cans that Punch way above their weight and price range time and time again for such a long stretch of years amomg all newer "newer" innovations, massive price drops on great headphones, and what not. I know newer isnt always better since most things are built as cheap as possible and alot of us wont stfu about how superior all the old audio eqpuipment from the 50s-60s-70s is, lol. But anyways, I wouldnt call myself an Audiophile since It heavily corralates to being akin to a wine connoisseur snob, but maybe im just being dramtic. I Just love everything Audio. The chase of new knowledge, the challenge of researching and finding the best quality Audio equipment for the money, where that upward climbing line of Quality starts to drastically change and the deminising returns start to fall flat, and when it does, its usually immediate. It's definitely always different when it everything in between bookshelves, home theatred, loudspeaker venue systems, etc) on what the. But, I would consider myself very confident with my knowledge surround Audio in general over my experience being a Musician, Producer, Rccording/Mixing Engineer, and Mastering.
Ive built tons of custom bookshelf and tower speakers that were all based off the Driver selection and measurements. Also built a few Custom Guitar Cabinets. I used the proper software and math to get the best results needed from the Drivers, Cabinets, and schematics needed to build the crossovers accordingly. Ive never stopped experimenting with new way to record audio, modifyng amps, etc). Ive used probably a 100+ different mics over the years since I always experiment with so many mic configurations when ever I was recording guitars, vocals, drums, etc) at the Studio I apprentived in and long after into my own Recording Studio and Audio Solution Consulting work. Ive designed and built countless acoustic treatments and audio systems for damn near every type of environment. Bars, school auditoriums, venue halls, Concerts, home theaters, and yadahdahdah. Its weird to reflect back on how many different avenues of Audio ive had my head in and how different yet the same apart they are from eachother in most way. Useless ramble over, Go buy some SHP9500s. Hurry.
Hello, very good video but I have a question about the price, today they cost 85 dollars and the Sennheiser HD58x cost 159, is it worth almost double for the Sennheiser? Or put another way the HD58x are twice as better?
Yeah 58X is overpriced now but i think it's an across the board thing/inflation. I'd go for a 400se homestudiobasics.com/hifiman-he400se-review/
Short and to the point.
As a 9500 owner, I've always had that "what if the 9600 is better" feeling (bigger number logic, go figure).
Anyway, thanks for reassuring me that I should just enjoy the 9500, and giving a upgrade path should I want to go onto get a K702.
Yeah man, decent headphones but rarely used here at the pad. :) I suppose an X2HR vs. 9600 would make for an interesting A/B.
hello there, i own a hyperx cloud alpha and a samson sr 850, how much different will sound the shp 9500 or 9600 with the on board audio (aourus b450 pro wifi) and what dac/amp is good for it, i have the btr3 (non k) and honestly i dont feel any difference via usb
yo studebaker.. hope all is well. what is your one pick for closed back low impedance cans the I dont need an amp for? right now my "non amped" headphone of choice is V-Moda Crossfade . built like a tank and nice sound.. looking for another high sensitivity closed back for music only.. powered by iPhone alone. whatcha got? stay well bud.. hair looks sick!!
Hey man great to hear from you! F, the Meze 99 Classic is something I fell in love with when I demoed them at Audio Advice but I need more time with them for the official review. Super f'ing fun. Couldn't believe how well the tonality of them was done as well. Perhaps a smidgen overly lush, but man they run so well out of a phone. 2nd choice would be K371. homestudiobasics.com/akg-k371-review/
I've never owned 9600 . I have 9500 and X2HR . WHEN paired WiTh FIIO BTR7 Both Are AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied
Which would you recommend for podcasts and TV series??
How about the 9600 for $86 tho? If no still the answer, what upgrades did you do to your 9500? Like pads and cable (other than the vmoda mic).
Haven't done any mods as I like the sound as-is, but yeah I forgot to edit in there that the price jump can range from $85 (as you mention) to $99 as I too saw them for $85 a few days ago. 9600 for $86? I'd still just get a 9500. I am thinking about getting these: www.modhouseaudio.com/shp9500_adapter_rings/philips-shp9500-mod-3d-printed-pad-adapters and these: www.amazon.com/Shure-HPAEC940-Replacement-Velour-Headphones/dp/B005OM06RG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492057099&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=shure+940+ear+pads (not aff link) or the dekoni midnight pads that another guy mentioned and loves: earpadz.com/product-category/midnight-series/
Please sir, review oneodio pro 50 and koss kph30i clear ones. Some say it's different than nonclear ones that you have.😚
Heh. My non-clear touch of grey grateful dead 30is are gonesky (Koss giveaway). I was going to get a pair of the clear ones yes!
For under $200 dollars, what in-ear model do you suggest for listening Rage Against the Machine? with that amazing response on the electric bass of Tim Commerford
Hey man not much of an IEM guy so Tin T2 lol that's really the last one I heard and loved it. Love Rage as well!
Does the 9600 have enough bass for gaming?
Does using a quality dongle do anything that the Apple dongle doesn't do in an efficient headphone like the Philips line?
Can you just EQ the 9600 to sound mostly indistinguishable from the 9500?
Hey man! I suppose you could but Imo EQ'ing a lot after the fact is a bit counterintuitive. If I'm going to spend a bunch of money on headphones I just want the one that has a sound sig I prefer already you know?
@@HomeStudioBasics I'm just curious how close I can get the headphone to the 9500 without dropping another Grant and a Jackson. I really like the stock tuning for movies and games (single-player only) because they remove the hi-mid "honk" you get in neutral tuning, and the bass response combined with the soundstage is impressive. But the recessed mids is a double-edged sword because it can make music sound very veiled and blurry.
Hey Stuart!
I had a question. If the KPH30i’s and the SHP9500’s were priced the same, would you still pick the KPH30i’s over the Philips’?
Hey man apologies for the late reply here but I know we discussed this on Insta :)
@@HomeStudioBasics no worries and thanks again!
Does anyone own both the 9600 and X2HR? I want to know the differences since I own the 9600 (for 5 months) but I want more bass and some sparkly treble that the X2HR offers. Is the difference enough for me to upgrade to the X2HR?
I had them both.x2 all day...
If you want bass get the DT 770
I tried both b2b for 3 weeks, x2r are more resolving, bass is in my opinion more formed on 9600, treble is "sparkly" on x2hr, not to my personal taste although nothing compared to the piercing DT's u till you acclimatise. I kept the 9600 and I love using them, from all I have heard 9600 is not neutral as said as treble is harsh. if I wanted a more neutral headphone I would save the extra and go for the Sennheiser 560s
Yeah, I really want to do an A/B of those 2!
@@adrianmorrish8494 In theory, the 560S would be perfect for him but it's just, meh. It has more bass, sure, and the treble has a bit of sparkle, but it still ends up sounding boring to me. Idk. If you're going to go for that type of sound sig, you need to really take your pants off AND pull your boxers down and just let it all hang out (i.e. A meze 99 classic). I would say K371 but he wants sparkle and that just won't really cut it. It's a bit too dark-ish.
What if you want cheap open Back Headphones but the 9500 arent available and the 9600 are available for 60$ Should i buy them then?
As right now, these are priced cheaper than the 9500 and way cheaper than the 560s
Yes, because they aren't good
If possible, I think having a desktop mic (something like a blue yeti, or the many similar mics that are out now) helps a lot with the gaming issue. In general, these mics are going to sound a million times better than anything attached to your headphones. On top of that, they allow you to use any headphone you like without having to consider the mic. For chatting, the mic can be pretty far away from you and still sound pretty good, and paired with RTX Voice even sensitive mics can filter out 98% of your background noise.
Glad to hear your opinion on the 9600. It's one I never picked up. I had given my 9500 to my daughter and she's used it for the past year or so. She recently moved to the Creative Aurvana Live, and says she likes it a lot better. Similarly priced headphone. I'm inclined to agree with her. Listening to the 9500 again, I just really don't dig the treble that much anymore on it, especially for music. I can't help but compare everything to the KPH30i, which, even though the 9500 is considered a budget headphone, is still a fraction of that price.
Recommending a headphone under $100 to someone isn't an easy thing to do anymore. Tons of good options, especially if you throw in IEMs.
Understandable, some feel the 9500 top end a bit shrill so a warmer more relaxed sound could well be more appealing to a casual listener.
Yeah man, for console gaming I personally like to have the Boom Pro on my couch, but for desktop, yeah. The Yeti is what I would use easily over that. All three of those you mention are in the Budget Kings heh. And yeah, I finally dethroned 9500 from the top spot and replaced it with the 30i. I think the Live is 3rd or 4th. homestudiobasics.com/the-budget-kings-series/
It’s not just about mic quality though. I do have a desk mic at the moment but I realized when I’m simply playing video games and talking to my friends, I don’t need to sound like a twitch streamer with the best audio setup of all, the great sound quality of the vmoda boom pro is more than enough. It saves me desk space, saves a cable, a USB port and not having a huge microphone in my face. To each his own but that’s just my opinion. I would use a desk mic for streaming though.
Would your recommend Sony MDR7506 over these? For general music listening for monitor?
I went a little higher in the price bracket got x2hr.
Yeah, I think that would make an interesting A/B!!
I cannot find any answers on what cable to goto for use with your Amazon setup based on the SHP9600's and the FiiO K3. I have a PC
Do you mean as far as a balanced cable?
I bought mine 2nd hand (there $200+ here!) and mine creak every time i move my head, so build isn't very good imo. Sound was ok but there are cheaper and better cans out there so i'd avoid this one. Grado sr60x with G pads (stock S pads sound is terrible) destroy these in sound quality tho they can have comfort problems.
Yeah, the sound of 9600 doesn't make me wanna do backflips for sure. Grado could be an option... if it wasn't. 😂 In all seriousness I'm going to try the x series pretty soon.
How do either of these compare to the X2HR?
When are these Phat Beats dropping?!?! I am on Soundcloud everyday hoping. 😅😢😂
I tried the x2hr and the 9600 together for 3 weeks, I am still using my shp9600, x2hr went back trebble was not to my loki g or to be honest the bass although it was more resolving. The 9600's mids resolution isn't brilliant but I really enjoy listening to them, the bass is plenty for me the soundstage is above average to good and they are easy to drive, light and reasonably comfortable although I do get some upper cheekbone clamping mild discomfort even after 3 months of using several times a week. I haven't listened to the review yet, I haven't tried the 9500's and my experience with multiple headphones is limited to only 2 open backs these and the 6xx's I own. I bought them for around 85 usd from Amazon US as it UK they were far more expensive.
I have watched now, I think if you have 9500 the 9600 isn't an upgrade it's a different headphone overall and you should choose the one you prefer, I'll get a set of 9500's to compare for my personal impressions. I would not buy them for 130 dollars though, I didnt
Yeah man I would like to A/B the 9600 vs. X2HR but I may just go ahead and sell the 9600. Haven't decided yet. Agree about mids. Not fantastic but not terrible either. You're not really going to care that they're semi-scooped when listening to music as it doesn't sound like they're just completely torched or anything.
@@adrianmorrish8494 Yeah I wanted to get them right away for the A/B and bit the bullet. I kind of knew they were a bit overpriced and others commented on that last year as well. Let me know of your impressions when you compare!
How are they compared to you 6xx ? Got the 9600 but thinking of getting hd600 or 6xx
Review on the GameBoy, hmmmm!!! Poor 9600, I think it was to still to early for phillips to launch a new 9000 series headphone as they didnt make much change to justify the update, I specifically speak of the built (always in first place), they could at least try to make it more modular.
Yeah it was kind of meh from the outset. Still a decent headphone but it's easy to see why the price has basically plummeted.
If money isn’t a factor, what would you choose between the SHP9500 and the X2HR?
**Sorry, 95-hunnid. Damn auto-correct.
HAHAHA. Hard choice man but I still lean towards the 9500's more neutral outfit as I just really enjoy the intricacies of the bass and the crisper character.
@@HomeStudioBasics My dawg.
@@ReavrGaming What happened to your doge? xD
I've been having the issue of getting the 9600 or the 9500 for 6 months
How come man?
@@HomeStudioBasics because the price point, I use to listen Trance music for hours and I recently own the HD599, so I was thinking on getting the 9500 or the 9600 but the muddy bass frecuences in the 9600 don't attract me to the vocals on that type of electronic music, also the depth in the earpads it's something that gets me worried about the 9500, so is a predictament for me
@@alexmontoya2312 Yeah i mean it sounds good I guess, but it's just not something I really ever desire to listen to and that's kind of why I made this video a year after I bought it. Have you decided on anything?
what abt ad500x
Open, great for gaming, a bit thin sounding but incredibly neutral.
But what if I found it on eBay for $30 brand new
...extremely comfortable with a great, wide soundstage, but tonally dead as a doornail--and I'm an old guy who's very sensitive to treble, so that's saying something...
Exactly. Couldn't have said it any better lol. That's pretty much verbatim what I thought to myself when I revisited these.
Do your grandchildren like the 9600 ?
They say "meh" 😂
Bro I wanted to buy these but prices are ridiculously high in my country. Now I m considering akg k361 as alternative, how will be the sound quality of those compared to shp9600?
Hey man, I haven't heard that but have demoed the K371 and really enjoyed it. They may not be too far off in terms of sound sig, but don't quote me on that. The bass shelf can be a bit too much depending on the track, but it's mostly fine. Def recommended 371 over 9600 imo. homestudiobasics.com/akg-k371-review/
@@HomeStudioBasics thanks man, gettin the 361 soon .
@@svrzainim93 Let me know how it goes! :)
@@HomeStudioBasics still on my head typing this ,haha. First of all, reading and watching rave reviews for over a month, I was thinking the headphone will blow my mind. Certainly a significant upgrade over my half the price previous headphone (Jay's headphone- designed in Sweden, which I bought at 50pc discount btw) in terms of clarity, imaging , instruments seperation. Vocals are at par . I am hearing new sounds on songs. I enjoy the overall warmth and pleasing tone, . But the sound stage is only a slight improvement and I can't even believe that the bass is lower than my previous one, although bass is clear . Overall I m satisfied with the hdphn , just not got WOW'ed , maybe I was expecting everything perfect for the price.
@@svrzainim93 did you buy a different one ? how are the 361 feeling now ?
Could you do a review of Beyerdynamic dt 240 pro?
I will check that one out!
@@HomeStudioBasics thanks man, I really appreciate that.
So is this worth it for $80? I plan on buying one as a gift (I'm planning Christmas early). I'm not really sure what to pick between the SHP 9500 for $60, this for $80, or the Hifiman HE 400SE for $85. I just want something that will last long and not an offensive sound since I don't know who will get this gift (I'm planning this to be the grand prize on our christmas game this year).
Hifiman will need a dac but if u can get that definitely get those
Definitely 400se: homestudiobasics.com/hifiman-he400se-review/

Wow, you really didn't mention that the headphone shells are attached to the headband in only one place using a single axis. That's preposterous. Additionally, the headband is barely attached to the cushion, only in two places by its sides at the bottom. A cheap crap, to be honest. They play decently overall, but the construction is made with bad intentions...
Takstar Pro 82 are easily the most comfortable stock headphones.
Really would like to get those here someday.
How’s your grandchildren?
9600 sounds horrible. Boosted flubby bass. Scooped out mids and zero treble.
I have the 9500 which is good for the money but the 9600 is the worst ho I've ever tried.
Cutting your hair was a big mistake, undo it
I don’t remember what a headphone under $100 sounds like anymore.
Heh. Well, you spend money on something NOW and refresh your memory, buster! 😂
For around $20 more, definitely get the Philips Fidelio X2HR instead. Different league.
I hate when home studio pages talk about gaming. We want to know solely if its usable for studio purposes.
Studio purposes: No. Not flat enough.
