Customer Reviews

Good but.....
I have been looking for a pair of over the ear headphones because my Sony MDREX85LP sound great but give me some ear fatigue. These seem like they would be a good backup to use while at work plus the price was right. Well they sound pretty good for the money. I hear good bass, mids and treble... not as good as the Sonys but still pretty good. The problem for me is that since I will be using them in the office not only do I need isolation... they also need to contain my music as well. This is the area where the Philips phones come up a little short. Any volume pass 1/4 of max and your neighbors will probably be able to sing or in my case rap along. Not sure if I will be keeping them although I like them and their portability a lot.

Amazing Sound
I've only had these for 1 day but the sound is amazing from highs to lows.
Not only can I hear the music but you can "feel" it. I'm hearing stuff with these that I missed with other headphones.

I use these with my Sansa Fuze at home, work and in between. The headphones to a decent job at blocking moderate external noise.

Lightweight, comfortable and priced right. I may buy a second pair.

Best Bang for the Buck
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD580 Precision Audiophile Headphones. Yes, I am a bit of a snob. But, and this is a big but, these Philips SHL9500's, which I bought for the purpose of using with portable devices, are without a doubt the best headband headphones I have ever had on my head--for the buck. Period. Ear Buds pooey!

These Philips headphones are, imo, better in every way than the Sony MDR-V150's. They are also better than the Sony MDR-V300's.

When I received the 9500's I straightway plugged them into my ONKYO to let the neodymium magnets loosen up a bit. The next morning I got the LED out. "Wow!", all I can say is one "Whole Lotta Love". Then I went Super Audio CD and turned my attention to the Dark Side of the Moon. Again, "MONEY" well spent. Then out of respect a little Ellas McDaniel, AKA, Bo Diddley. Who do you love, baby? I use a cobra-snake for a necktie. Who do you love? Who do you love?

When Philips says "Lightweight Premium Headphones", they mean it... for about $20 bucks. "Wow!"
