Product Information

It’s even more damning when you consider that it’s roughly half the price that it initially sold for – a sure sign that it wasn’t worth that much.

Replacing those elements is a single gold ring around the grille, housing the same 50mm neodymium driver. Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. Well, that’s about it for today my friend! I hope you’ve enjoyed this Philips SHP9600 Review and came away with some valuable insight.The detachable 3.5mm cable has returned, but this time around it feels more solid and robust at the business end. Is the SHP9600 an upgrade over the 9500? Is the increase in price worth the investment? Did Philips actually improve on the shortcomings of the original? Still, I’d recommend an Amp/DAC for best results sound-wise. I listened to both with a wide array of setups: At the end of the day, it’s just personal preference. My comfort ranking for my collection (and my Dad’s) is:

The separation to me is really decent for the price of these and probably the aspect that jumps out at me the most about these. These headphones have no glaring issues or flaws. They do many things well, and I suspect people on a budget would have no complaints with these as their daily drivers. I'm quite impressed with them regardless of how much I paid for them, and I only appreciate them more because of their price.

Amplification

The treble sizzle and brightness that many snobs complained about have been fixed for the most part, as it no longer sounds overly essy or bitey in most instances. The DragonFly Red is a bit more expensive, but I talk about why its DAC chip is superior to many others here. DON’T OVERTHINK IT!! This hallmark tradition in the line hasn’t changed, much to my delight and likely yours as well. Genre-wise, the obvious is apparent: The cups are oval-shaped and rather shallow, but your ears will fit inside just fine and the headband doesn’t dig into the top of your head. You like her, but you’re not in love with her. Intellectually, she’s not there. In truth, she’s kind of an airhead.

Whether or not you’ll actually need a DAC largely depends on how good or bad your phone is, and how good or bad the internal soundcard on your laptop/PC is. The 9600 also comes with a more rugged-looking and feeling snap-on 1/4″ adapter, with a subtle but still noticeable “grip” towards the bottom.Well, that’s about it for today my friend! I hope you’ve enjoyed this Philips SHP9500 vs. 9600 comparison, and now understand the main differences between them! Again, the small attention to detail here from Philips is more than admirable, it’s outright amazing that they would adjust and improve the fit.

It’s more subdued and less obnoxious, like your bratty teenage son who’s finally stopped smoking weed and eating Cheetos for breakfast.

BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!

I think this was Philips’ answer to the 58X, but that headphone is much better ( read: better tuned) even despite its Soundstage not being quite as good as either the 9500 or 9600 – both of which are rather excellent. I included both in my most comfortable headphones of all-time list and once you wear them for a while you’ll understand why.
