![]() ![]() It has worse soundstage and imaging, but better bass response. The sv004 is more v shaped, and is semi open. The soundstage is wide, but not super wide.Ĭompared to sivga sv004, which is another pair of good budget headphones, there are major differences. Their imaging is accurate, making it good for both casual and fps gaming. The main thing though about these is their soundstage and imaging. But it is important to point out that I use the ifi zen dac which is a dac amp with a Burr-Brown dac chip that is known for sounding warmer than Sabre dac chips. Some people find it harsh, But I haven't noticed anything yet. The highs are probably the highlight of the frequency response of this headphone. Not suitable for critical listening at all By grainy I mean harsh and not smooth.ĭetail is however damn near non-existant. BUt after listening to another pair of headphones, that shows. When you put them on, you wouldn't immediately notice that. The problem for some people, which I also have noticed myself but I don't really mind, is that it is a bit grainy. In terms of frequency response, the mids are remarkably flat and the lower mids are slightly boosted. The mids are not recessed, but not boosted either. For bassheads out there, this is not the headphone for you. In a quiet room, the bass is just slightly recessed. These are open back, and the bass is really easily lost in noisy places. The low end is rolled off towards the lower frequencies, so sub-bass is pretty much non-existent, which I think is perfectly fine for its price. You can usually find good ones for 20 dollars or less, and they give the shp9500 more details. ![]() It comes with a 3m long black plastic cable, which is ok but a bit unwieldy to use. The earpads are not removable unless you destroy them, and I have just left them stock. But beware, the pads are really shallow, and for most people their ears will touch the insides of the headphones. This is a very lightweight pair of cans, using mostly plastic with some metal in the grills and the headband. Recently I purchased a pair of shp9500 to try them out, and after burn in and getting used to it, they are my daily drivers now. I am a low-fi owner as of now, and I don't have any high end gear yet. The Philips SHP9500 is well established in the audiophile community as a very good pair of budget headphones. ![]()
