Phillips SHP9500 Review, ANY GOOD FOR GAMING? 

Listening to movies and watching music. I see you are a man of culture.

5:07 listening to movies, watching music??!?

been running mine for about 6 years...love them, great sound and hold up to the test of time.

I swear everytime I'm asking myself a question about some keyboard,mouse,headset ect. You come out with a video the nexed day giving me all the info I need!!!! Thanks man keep up the great vids.

Got these headphones with the V Moda microphone and an amplifier, and they completely blow the doors off of any "gaming" headset. Thank you for the video, it helped me out!

Finally! Thanks for the review man! Combine that with a VMODA Boom Pro and you are good to go. I suggest you also do a review of it too. Keep it coming man! And if you could find one, please make a review of Philips Fidelio X1/X2/X2HR and 1More Triple Driver headset! Great review mate!

Recent purchase, and a big first time upgrade over my old H390s. Love the audio. Had trouble with mic quality on a shared 3.5mm line, swapped to USB mic like you suggest and that did work out.

This is my best purchase at the moment I use eq apo in it and it enchance the overall sound especially the bass.

I've been using SHP9500s for over a year now. Love em. I use a Samson Q2U dynamic mic on an arm that clamps to my desk.. when I want to game I just swing the mic over to in front of me and I am ready to go.

He really didn't say SPH9500. LOL. I just bought a set. A work headphone and so on. 75.00 now on Amazon.

Omg I was about to recommend it to you!

To me, my first thoughts on these headphones when I got them a while back were that the directional audio and bass overall were pretty bad. But luckily, after some audio enhancements (bass boost and Dolby Atmos), Gaming with these are far better than most of the "surround sound" gaming headphones. I compared these to my corsair voids, and these sounded 100x better and it made me realize how muddy the corsair void sounded.

I've had these for about 2 years with the v mooda pro mic. For the price i find them to be realy good. Great review mate👍

It’s hilarious that I also have the siren x and I just bought these headphones today I haven’t tried Them yet but I’m excited to.

I've had these just over a year & I thought they'd be absolutely insane with the amount of praise they get online but I think they're average, sound stage is good & the comfort is really good don't get me wrong.

For any UK peeps, it's cheaper to get it on US Amazon and ship it than it is to get it on UK Amazon :)

would you recommend this headset for 60 dollars in 2021

Does the MBQuart 9500 attachment worth it? Does the APTX hold up ? The latency always annoys me with wireless devices. Now more so since most phones no longer have headphone jacks

picked it up for $60 today.. absolute steal!

This headset would have emotive pro not going to beat the setup. Unless you're going to want to spend about $100 in the mic then you can go to a mod mic. The mod might give you more of a broadcaster voice voice in emphasizes the deep tones in your voice better. If you want to check out a good closed headset try the cooler master 752. The microphone is very very good for the $.

Have been using this for a few years now and theyre one of the best cans for competitive shooters. Very pronounced treble, big soundstage, and light bass means you can hear footsteps pretty clearly. My ad700x beats it on soundstage and imaging though

You can attach a MB QUART Bluetooth adapter special designed for this Headphone and you can use them Wireless ! Costs 50 $ on Aliexpress :p :)

i use a sr850 and a lav mic. cheapest setup i had but man best sound ever. when i speak online peeps think i'm a streamer or something XD and the mic was only 10 bucks.

One thing I will say as a happy owner of these is there are open backs and then there are these! For music the openness is revelatory, for gaming it's great too. Clarity is ridiculous. Negatives are awkward usage as they dont stay on your head and regard sound leak no exaggeration due to openness may as well be loud speaker on lower volume.

which one is better for gaming, cooler master mh751 or this one?

Feel like 20k was so soon ago Now ur at 27k congrats

Really interesting if you could check out some of Koss' headphones such as the KSC75 and KPH30i and compare them to these!

Hi everyone. Are these so highly regarded because of their quality in their price range or because of their quality period? In other words if you could go a bit higher in price would you still get these? I'm torn between these and the Philips X2HR (for gaming and casual listening). By the way are they considered a headset or a proper headphone? Cheers everyone.

I've been watching a bunch of your reviews but kinda stuck here. I need a headset for a ps4 pro I'm getting soon but want an amazing headset to compliment it. Don't really want to buy a gaming headset since I feel that regular headphones would probably sound much better. I would also need a mic to use with them. What would you reccommend? These philips or something else

Are the sound leak from that open back are catch to the microphone?

5:07 5:10 wtf😂

After watching the video 10x i finally decided to buy this one...

Techne thanks to you i just orderd mine and cant wait on 16th also you deserve waay more subs good job bro keep on grinding.

I use them as headphones and speakers. If you just max the volume you can hear most things fine just having them sit by you somewhere (my monitor doesnt have speakers)

Im glad you finally found these. Ive had these for 2 years and they sound and look new. I wouldn't worry too much about that slight bend you were talking about on the swivel mechanism, I have never heard of one breaking through normal use. The mic-cable you were talking about is the V-moda boom pro, they usually retail for $30. I've been using that with these headphones for 2 years (I bought them together) and it is a well worth it upgrade. The mic sounds WAY better than any other built-in mic I have ever heard (my old team mates noticed IMMEDIATELY when I switched to it). So for under $100 these trump most if not all gaming headsets IMO. I can suggest to try the ultra cheap Syba Sonic USB dac amp for under $50 (i got mine for $40ish) it pairs so so well with these. I did want to ask, could you try the Samson Meteor desktop mic as well? I've had my eye on that for a while since I switched to the Vokyl Erupt headphones/headset. Maybe a desktop mic shoot-out video? Thanks for the great content as well, entertaining as always buddy!

Listening to movies and watching some music? Lmao🤣 too funny

Nice vid man , thx for the review.

Hey Mr. Techne, what headphones do you recommend for watching movies? You did mention movies in this video but I'd like to know the BEST,I'malso using a schitt stack dac/amp combo or a creative soundblaster x g6

Love them, just picked up the v moda as well

listening to movies watching nusic lol

How are the headphone holding up? I just ordered them because of z reviews and other insane compliment in forum and youtube. This is my first audiophile high end to me cause it's expensive. Open back headphone

The Airbuds is not replaceable

If you don’t have an amp yet, you should get one so you can test a wide range of headphones. Also, these are pretty good for their price. The only thing wrong with them in my opinion is the obvious graininess ;(

If you dont like the R and the L on the grill in the ear cups you can take it off with a sharpie, I dashed it over with my sharpie for 5 min on each side and it looks flawless

Quick question what’s the difference between these and the s’s and which ones better and if I get the pro boom mic is it better than the Hyper X cloud ll for call of duty and I’m going to use Dolby Atmos

Damn I tried the m50x and I hated them, I tried them on at a store for 10 minutes and boy they were uncomfortable af, hopefully I'll like the shp9500 since I just ordered them considering they were so cheap

I saw it comes with 3rd party Bluetooth adapter, does it works? Can use the balanced cable for better sound on this 9500?

better than the dt990??

Is this still a solid buy now 2020 priced at 100bucks? Or are there other alternatives?

in Arctis 3 . can i use the sharing Audio as the main 3.5mm to my phone

u should do a review on the fifine 669b, im wondering if i should get it or not

Getting these headphones in a few days :o

For gaming hyperx cloud alpha or this shp9500 ? Can’t decide .

How does this compare against the arctis 5, currently torn between these two.

will the shp9500 with mic work on ps5? will the mic connect with the controller or the headset itself?

sir what would you choose shp9500 or steel nova 1 please just choose 1 please

Can i ask one non related question, between Hyperx Cloud Alpha and Steelseries Arctis 5, which one would you recommend more?

best youtuber

You do have big ears .Mine don't touch at all. Love your reviews

Hmmm dont they give quicker fatique when the driver is touching the ear?

Hey techne, so which one would be better :- 1) shp 9500 2) cooler master mh751 3) ATH M40X I don't know about m50x, people say that m40x is better than the m50x. Have you tried it?

This pair is the one that started my headphone obsession. I realized I couldn't use the open back due to the sound leakage. You should check out the tak star pro 82, they are what the mh751/752 are based off of, as well as the alpha s.. which by the way I have coming to me, they finally added PS4 support on the dongle.

SHP9500 or Status Audio CB-1? For music and gaming

Can you hear yourself through the headset when using a mic?

Does this have directional audio? I've been playing call of duty and my headset can only recognize footsteps from left to right but not above/below me. playing on ps4 by the way

I’ve been debating on getting these, the ATH-AD700X’s, or just saving up money to get the Seinheiser HD 58X. What would you recommend?

should i get these or Logitech g pro headset for gaming

Please responsible To gamers nice?, phlips shp9500 or hyperx cloud alpha or steelseries arctis 5?

i was waiting for this review my whole life

I need help choosing between shp9500 + vmoda boom pro and hyperx cloud 2

I’m not sure weather to get these with the boom mic pro or get the gsp 350. I don’t like how they leak sound and aren’t noise canceling but there a lot lower profile than the gsp 350 and probably sound better. If anyone has experience with these or the gsp 300/350, please reply

would this be fine if i dont have a big head haha given how big the earpads are? i just think this is amazing for uts price but i wanted to know how it would be for someone with a smaller head

Hi, was just wondering if this headphone can compete against the likes of Steelseries Arctis 5? I mean I know it's cheaper than the Arctis 5 but I was curious.

Can't find these anywhere in the UK, and Ebay are selling them for £90 plus delivery from the US :(

in the Pc38x video you said you don't like open-back though

Hi Adam, does the Razer Mic you mentioned work on the xbox one and ps4? Greatly appreciate this review man as I've been looking at these recently.

what’s the difference between the 9500 and 9500s?

Which is better for gaming this vs mh650

Do you recommend the standard or the S version?

Lil question do you think about doing another pc build in the future ? Cause I’m trying too save up for an 800 euro pc well 800 or less and it’s hard for me too get the money for it so prob less lmao

Do you have a 2.4G wireless solution for this? (Not Bluetooth)

can you the earpads and the headband off to clean them?

how are they compared to other headphones about sound

Just a sidenote. The bag they include is for your old headphones :D

Hello techne, i was thinking to buy this headphone, I don't know if it will fit my small head. Ear to ear distance is about 16 cm(straight line). Do you think it'll be too loose on my head...

Hey mate been watching ya channel and love it! Quick question which is better, this or 700x (Audio Tech) ?

Does it really not include warranty card?

I'm thinking about these headsets for Xbox and I mainly play COD. Do you recommend them for that? Also will that mic work on the Xbox One X?

Great review! Please help me to chose between 9500 and dt 770pro,mostly for pc gaming and little bit music. both headphones getting excellent reviews,and i'm struggle to decide

I'm wondering why your shp9500 box is different than the 2 that I have?

How does the sound quality compare between these SHP95000 and the Arctis 7, Arctis Pro Wireless ?

In terms of sound quality and gaming, Hyperx cloud core, logitech g pro, or these? Pls advise.

How is directional sound and footsteps

do u have the same but closed ?

why the music in the background?

Would you recommend these Phillips SPH 9500 or the artics 3 or 7s?

I don't need a mic, this or a cloud alpha

Probably my favorite headphones ever.

Can i use the razer seiren on ps4?

I got the redragon h510 for my xbox one my friend but I still get not what I want Do you recommend something better for me 🤗
