The Philips SHP9500 Headphones have gained a reputation as one of the best budget all-round open-back headphones. CHECK OUT THE FREQUENCY ANALYSIS...
In this review I unbox these popular headphones and test them out to see if they really do outperform their price class.
This review includes audio tests with frequency spectrum analysis using a tone generator, sample music, and spoken word. While you can't listen to the SHP9500's through this video, I will show you the response comparisons of original recordings vs the sound produced by the SHP9500's. After watching this review, you will have a good idea of what to expect from these popular headphones for gaming, streaming, general listening, and even studio mix / master applications. Can the Philips SHP9500 Headphones really be a fantastic all-rounder? This review will help you decide what they can and cannot do.
I also take a look at the build of the SHP9500's to see if their quality will hold up and what comfort / convenience features Philips have provided. Open-back headphones are often the choice of those using them for long sessions or looking for an open sound. Between the audio tests and build assessment, this review shows you what to expect.

🔥Do This First:
To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality acoustic treatment available at an excellent value.

This review is so detailed and technical. I don't need other reviews on the SHP9500 after watching this.

@askdrtk 2 года назад

Glad to help out - Thanks for checking out my review!

@SlenderHime 2 года назад

What a great review! Thank you, due to the price and comfort it's really hard to choose between 9500 and Audio technica M40x

@askdrtk 2 года назад

Much appreciated! When you asked me to look at the 9500's I thought they would be a good choice being open-back, affordable, and many seem to like them. I didn't see much in the way of audio tests - mostly opinion style reviews, so I thought I might be able to help out with my own review. For longer listening sessions, the 9500's are far more comfortable for me in terms of fit and not feeling too warm (your experience may be different), but based on my tests, the m40x's deliver a more accurate representation of the audio which I find helpful for production work. Hope the review helped out and thanks again for suggesting I take a look at the 9500's!

I love those sinewave comparisons. They really tell a story. And tell me if I'm imagining things when I hear too much or too little of something.

@askdrtk Год назад

I'm trying to share as much raw data / objective info as possible. Glad you find it useful!

@Benri05 2 года назад

The leather hm5 pads fits these nicely. Great review, instant sub.

@askdrtk 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed my review and thanks for the confirmation on the hm5'a. Fit specs are ok, but there is nothing like actually trying them out on specific headphones.

@GeneralAkAbA 2 года назад

you are a 5 star reviewer!

Much appreciated - It is challenging to provide meaningful headphone reviews that I hope bring some value to watching. Thanks for checking out my look at the 9500's and I hope it helped out!

Thank your for this detailed review on Philips SHP 9500. Looking forward to your thoughts comparing SHP 9500 vs 9600. Cheers 🙂

@askdrtk 2 года назад

Thanks again. There has been considerable disappointment surrounding the release of the 9600's. I'm interested to check them out in general and to see what has changed as the 9500's have been so well received.

@RonaldSurya 2 года назад

@@askdrtk yes, most reviews I saw, they leaning towards with 9500. Perhaps with your technical approached review can shed some light on this matter (which makes your channel more interesting). Thank you

@dsanj4745 Год назад

I like your comprehensive approach This was a very thorough analysis/review. Thanks for posting. Is there any chance you'll do likewise for Superlux headphones? I'd be particularly interested in their HD681 model. Not the Evo version, just the 681. As an aside, was that a Rippingtons tune used for music test?

@askdrtk Год назад

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my review. By coincidence I posted a review of the HD681 earlier this week. Here is a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5VFr7PjOZho.html The music used for the music test is Cold as Ice by Particle House.

@tricogustrico 2 года назад

It would be interesting to see how these match up to the ubiquitous Sony 7506 headphone.

@nine1kid Год назад

Used mdr's 7506 for about 4 years and now with these shp 9500 for around 6 months I can really tell the high frequencies are quite different: mdr's has accentuate highs while 9500 not... but in a way that misses too much highs, unfortunately. (may be all those years used to mdr's) Also I feel much more bass presence on 9500 than 7506 which can be really confusing on some mixing decisions. I'd recommend using correction plug in for mixing with both headphones since they not totally flat, like toneboosters morph or sonarworks correction plug ins (I think toneboosters worked way better for this porpuse)

@atin925 Год назад

Watching this while wearing philips shp9500.... hehe.... I love this headphone.... I just need to buy a dac now.....

@askdrtk Год назад

I have found they pair nicely with my Schiit Modius E… Enjoy your 9500s…

@frankaz287 Год назад

I need one so bad, but unfortunately it's not in my country

@askdrtk Год назад

Sorry to hear that. A good alternative is the AKG K240 Studio or mkii. Both are open back with a natural sound profile.

@akphoto2010 Год назад

Is there any way to EQ the output?

@askdrtk Год назад

Not on the headphones themselves, but your playback device may have EQ and you can use plugins in your DAW or PC apps such as SonarWorks or even SteeleSeries Sonar (free) for EQ.
