The 9600's are $70 on amazon. These are not what the msrp claims to be.
Our Verdict
The Philips SHP9600 are very similar open-back headphones to their predecessor, the Philips SHP9500. The SHP9600 have a sleeker, all-black design, and leak less noise. They also have a more extended bass, and they have a little extra boom and punch in the bass range that some users may prefer. That said, both headphones have very balanced sound profiles that suit a wide range of music genres.

The 9600s have better bass but less clarity in mids and highs… but they also get rid of that somewhat tinny higher end that the 9500s have (I guess that's what they call "sibilance").
I still prefer the sound of the 9500s but my hearing isn't what it used to be so I prefer the clarity over the extra bass.
Just don't be fooled into thinking the 9600s are exactly like the 9500s or are an upgrade… they aren't, really, they're like a cross grade.
