Thank you for review. But I have a question that stuck in my mind? Is there any sound from the headphones to the microphone when the microphone is connected? Because it's an open back headset. I'm sorry if you said that in the video.

Hey! I know it's an old video but do you still have the SHP9500? Also, my concern is that I keep seeing that the 9500s are pretty bad at locating footsteps. Apparently they have bad vertical imaging so it'd be hard to locate footsteps/gunshots if they are above or below properly?

@zHipposaurus 4 года назад

Hey, really interesting and detailed video! I just had a couple questions regarding the headphones: 1. Coming for a non-audiophile background with very basic knowledge of slightly more in depth knowledge of sound compared to the average person, how would these compare to something like the Bose QC25 (which I own)? I find the Bose QC25 lack some volume and have ok bass and treble. 2. Compared to my current gaming headset (HyperX Stinger), would you say upgrading to the Philips SH9500 is a substantial leap forward? I currently believe the sound on the HyperX Stingers to be just fine for gaming. However, the build quality and the microphone leave something to be desired and I was looking for something to game with and to listen to music or movies casually at home. 3. Would you happen to know any websites or videos that explain some more specific terms related to sound that you mentioned in the video (soundstage, imaging, etc)? Thanks!

@notlian6279 4 года назад

Is it a big leap? Yeah, I found it easier to track sounds on the SHPs compared to my Cloud Alpha's which is considerably better than your stingers. They're reat for music and movies however the bass on the SHP's are a bit...weak. If you have the money there's really no reason for you not to switch to the SHP's

FYI: Based on this footage, it looks like you did not snap in the cushions all the way. It’s possible that it may have affected your sound profile readings. Would you be able to revisit the comparison with this and the SHP9600 to compare again?

@gamingaudioguide9292 3 года назад

I've had the 9500's for a long time. The cushions may not have been snapped in during the video at some point due to inserting & removing the paper filters. They were more than fine for measurements. I have measured them many, many times.

Fo about 110$ including a condenser mic , do you recommend these or you think there is better options? My use would be alot of listening to music (all genres) and gaming.

@jojoo4094 4 года назад

Gaming Audio Guide thank you for replying and clarifying. So this means it’s the best option for that 110$ budget with the Condenser Mic ? I mean this price could give you alot of good quality headphones also I found out after ordering about the ad700x which clearly alot of people think is better in gaming but has less quality sound in general and cost 91$! So can you give me your professional opinion on what is the best budget picks and what do you recommend?

@gamingaudioguide9292 4 года назад

@@jojoo4094 i like the 9500 more than the ad700x. the 9500 is more comfortable, less chunky in appearance and head feel, less sibilant, has a removable cable and has nicer build quality. the ad700x can sound very tinny. the ad700x has a wider sound stage and maybe images slightly better than the 9500, but i cannot recall for certain. even if it does do both slightly better than the 9500, the drop off in sound quality is not worth it. these two aren't all that close for me, but you are right some prefer them. what mic did you go with and are you doing anything with the mic other than gaming? the vmoda boom pro will actually work in-line with the shp9500, so that is another option but your use-case is important.

@jojoo4094 4 года назад

And for the mic I chose a neewer nw 7000 condescenser Mic (USB) as I can’t afford any Mic phantom power supply or amplifiers for now and it sounds good in the reviews. My mic would be mainly for gaming and some video recording and singing (maybe recording covers for now). Also I play on guitar so the shp9500 would help me do better editing and recordings I hope.

Hey dude! Some questions. I have tinnitus/sensitive ears because of that so i get fatique quickly. This is the reason im looking into open backs. But with the 9500 your ears touch the drivers :o. Doesnt that make it fatique quickly too? I am specifically not choosing the beyer 990 pro's because im reading it sounds sharp. That Will Hurt my ears. But now I read some reviews about the 9500 also being a bit bright and having sibilance. Im a bit scared it aggetating my sensitive ears. (sometimes plugging my Sony xm3 in and they dont have this problem) Also the missing imaging in the front and back. Will i know where the shots exactly are? I play a lot of escape from tarkov and apex legends. In tarkov it is reaaally important to know where you hear shots

@gamingaudioguide9292 3 года назад

I am also a Tarkov junkie. :) Good call avoiding the 990 if your tinnitus is easily triggered. The 9500 absolutely requires the coffee filter mod/solution. I think that alone should solve the issue for you. I do think you would probably be happier with the Sennheiser 58X or 6XX though, as they have a much more relaxed treble experience.

your sound card actually does just fine as a DAC unless there are features it is missing that you would like, no real reason to change it. hearing yourself can either be done with open headphones or with the feature "side tone" also known as "mic monitoring". that is a feature that a sound card upgrade could provide. so it depends on if you like your current headphones or not.

@TheG102 4 года назад

Gaming Audio Guide oh shuut., I was hoping for maybe another option for me (PS4/soundblasterG3) hd800 is everyone’s dream, but at that price.. I pass. After my Gameones broke I bought the ATHADG1X but I don’t completely love them, they sounds dry to me. I was thinking on trying the gsp500 or shp9500-boom mic, unfortunately the gsp500 mic seemed to no work through usb DAC for any reason (I can’t confirm this) if I was wrong and gsp500 mic work indeed then will chose those since I like the sennheiser sound profile, otherwise then I have to go shp9500.

@gamingaudioguide9292 4 года назад

@@TheG102 my go-to sets are due to having it be my focal hobby. You don't have to spend a ton to get a lot of function and good sound. the game one is a great budget set! i reviewed and did not care for the adg1x. game one, shp9500 with boom are great solutions. why not just get another game one? i am not familiar with the g3, only the g6 from that family (very good btw).

@TheG102 4 года назад

Gaming Audio Guide since I already had game one I was thinking to upgrade now in 2020, there should be better out there, I ordered a pair of shp9500 and a gsp500 to do the ultimate comparison agains my experience with gameones and current Athadg1x. I’ll keep the ones that I Iiked the most with better imaging and sound pleasure. The sound profile I like is as flat as possible, that’s probably why I had to eq increase my ATHs in the low bass, at the end maybe a close back is what I like without realizing, ...let’s see :/

is this durable?like the hyperx alpha,those lasts for like 5 to 6 years!

@UmbraWeiss 3 года назад

Yes it is, almost indestructible, the only thing that is a bit off, changing the pads if you want,but even that can be done with a bit of work, but it,s very comfortable, sound is amazing for the price, or to say just to good for this price to be honest, it's even better than any gamer headset and more durable, this headset is just amazing for the price.

@kazuhiroyasei 4 года назад

Yeah, just like out colleague said. The V-Moda BoomPro is actually a no brainer, it has been an undisputed budget microphone mod cable for the last four years or so, and STILL going strong, VERY high quality for their price, and just an incredible product overall. Bought one, already using it despite my own SHP9500s still being in transport, and they're absolutely amazing. Both were quite expensive for me, but I don't have any regrets at all.

DT880 vs DT990 for competetive fps? What's the difference in their sound signature?

@gamingaudioguide9292 4 года назад

990 has more bass and more treble. i find the treble on the 990 to be flat out painful and cannot use them. obviously that is not the case for a lot of people. sound stage and imaging they are pretty much the same headphone. which is to say, very good for competitive gaming.

As far as the directly in front of you or behind you sounding the same, I think that is a human hearing thing. Doesn't have anything to do with headphones.

@BamaShanks 3 года назад

@@gamingaudioguide9292 maybe if the have multiple drivers or something, but if someone is directly behind you or directly in front of you, then the same amount of audio is going to both ears. That's why people and animals turn their head when they hear something. It allows them to better locate something because more sound will be going to one side, so they now what direction it is coming from.

These or the Sennheiser PC37X?

@gamingaudioguide9292 4 года назад

Pros and Cons to both. Straight up better for comp gaming? 37X. The sennheiser images better for better positioning and comes with a solid mic. shp9500 feels higher quality and is much more comfortable. if you are sensitive to clamping force - 37X is a little tight.
