Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2023Got these instead of SHP9500s as these are cheaper and I've got not that much of preference for nuances of sound quality. Many moons ago I bought a pair of Sony MDR-XB700 and loved them; but, for an unknown reasons I sold them for almost the same price as I had bought them after six years of use.
Ever since I have been missing the feeling of a good pair of over-ear headphones that are not Bluetooth/Wireless connected, as I hate charging things and every sound producing item in my house has a headphone jack.
Having read reviews and watch a few YouTube videos on budget open-back headphones, I settled on these as they seemed good and I'm not particularly picky about the nuances of Hi-Fi sound production. These sound quite neutral to me with enough bass to satisfy various genres of music; but, never overpowering and booming. The fit is quite nice with enough clamping force to keep the headphones on you ear without needing to constantly adjust them or sound leakage from the pads to sealing properly. Pads themselves are a fabric kind of material that's breathable and comfortable, although not as comfortable as my MDR-XB700s (those were like pillows). That being said, they are never warm enough to cause sweating. My ears don't touch the fabric that lines inside the cans as some have reported in various reviews across the web.
The cable is long and doesn't conduct noise across its length due to rubbing, at least not enough to notice while listening to music. It would have been nice to have something other than a piece of wire to manage the length of the cable as it's not very practical to adjust and doesn't look nice. And the only real downside of these is the fact that don't come with a carrying/storage bag.
Overall, for the price they're a good purchase, I like the look of SHP9500s but the sound delivery differences don't justify the extra money to be paid. Sennheiser 599s might be better at sound production; but, the differences are marginal while the price is not.
