Fantastic deal, phenomenal headphones
I use these to watch shows and movies at night, the dialogues are clear and you will hear every little detail through these
The downside of open back is if your HVAC is loud, you will hear that as well
I should stock up
Can the others in your home hear the headphones due to the open back?

Well I'm jealous. Insane quality set for su h a low price. I remember when these dropped to 90.00 and they are ones toy can listen to all day in comfort. No need to upgrade pads or headband etc. Welcome to audiophile grade.

Yes, if they're within 10 ft and if you're listening at higher volume

Shp9500 is alright . I bought it as the first opened back. Then I got into other more expensive ones. I came across the recent Fiio Jadeaudio jt1 and it's just much better comparing to shp9500 to my taste. Pricing is almost the same.
Also JT1 came with inline mic if you are interested in like gaming headset
Not better at being an open back than the Phillips. The comfort is also better on them .Two different types of styles. Maybe you prefer the closed back. But ever since I got the ft1, I forgot about the jt1 headphones.


Which other open backs did you get? I ended up with the hifiman xs

Great headphones for those wanting to dip their feet into Hi-Fi. Mine held up through multiple drops and falls over two years although the clamping force was not that great over time. These are pretty easy to drive and sound great though especially for the price. Add a Mod Mic and you've got a great gaming headset.
Which is great if you have a coconut head like me. Used these for years with great success

At this price point nothing will beat it. The HARX700 from JVC comes close but they're not as comfortable.

If you have double the budget the Fidelio X2HR will sound better but the SHP9500 are still more comfortable due to its lightweight design.

7Hz Salnotes Zero 2 will blow this out of the water at $25.

Completely different types headphones... the Zero 2 is an IEM, which for most people would not work due to different ear canal shapes. Personally I don't like IEMs since they fall out of my ear way too easily. This is an open ear full sized headphone...

Had mine for years, great headphones especially paired with a dac (I use fiio k3 USB c dac), really opens the sound. Another headphone I would recommend is the Fiio JT1, I got mine for $50 on eBay and it's a tad better for hifi music vs the Philips.

SHP9500 is the best one below $200, very comfortable even wearing long time.
I wouldn't go that far. The 560s absolutely smoke these

Still great cans for $50 though

Horrible for gaming especially on FPS
What? These are fantastic for fps games. Weak bass, large soundstage, and good imaging. Perfect for footsteps in fps games

I have heavily used these headphones for 6+ years. Amazing build quality and a hell of a deal if you are into great sound quality. I would jump on the deal if I didn't expect another 2+ years out of my current pair.
