The sound quality is clear and precise. not too bassy but it has a decent punch to it. the open design allows hearing your surroundings at moderate volume levels. but keep in mind that if you pump up the volume the sound leaks clearly to your surroundings so bear that in mind. It's light and the materials feel nice for the price point. although the hinges seem like a likely breaking point if used roughly. the ear cups are a bit shallow and your ears might touch the drivers but they are covered by a soft fabric that makes them not uncomfortable. (this can be replaced easily for aftermarket ones if you wish). comes with a 10ft or 3mts rubberized 3.5mm cable with a silver branded tip on one side and a black one on the other and it comes with a 6.3mm adapter. mine came with a defect on the right driver that caused a really annoying buzzing sound at moderate to high volume but after research, I found that this is not the norm and that it's pretty rare. but I found a fix by disassembling the driver housing and blowing hard on it. and the problem went away.

Everything was great about them, an especially good product for the price point, but the headphones were too large for my head on the smallest setting. They would fall off my head (not my ears) when I leaned forward. I have a normal size head and this hasn't been a problem before, but my sound producer/larger-than-normal-sized-head partner said that they would keep them in a second!

Easily the cleanest sounding set of cans for a sub-200 dollar headphone. The only step up in terms of clarity is the ath-msr7 and those things cost more than double these do. The bass is a little light but these things sound impeccable and have a very clear, airy, and sparkly sound signature. Amazing for any complex guitar riffs(catching every detail), and great for detailed electronic music as well. For rap and bass heavy music sounds very clear and energetic but leaves something to be desired when listening to a very bass heavy track. These are meant for QUIET environments, they sound empty in noisy environments. I take them outside if I know it'll be quiet. These have a slightly loose fit but very comfortable and secure when you're not moving your head to often. The earcups are plenty large and will accommodate large ears easily. Get these now, while they're readily available.Read full review

So this is my first pair of fully openback headphones. My other pair is the akg m220 pro semi open studio headphones which retail at the same price. I spent about an hour replaying 1 song going back and forth between the 2 and noticed a few big differences. These headphones have a lot flatter sound signature whereas the m220's were quite warm. These pick up a lot more without getting as muddy. Both have great frequency ranges and low impedance so they can be ran by anything. The shp9500s do not have much clamp which makes them comfortable as long as you don't want to look down.. making this mistake will result in them turning into a blindfold with sound. All in all I enjoy these headphones and would recommend

This is about as good as it gets for the price range and more. They sound great, well balance, super comfortable. The only con is that the earpads aren't removable easily - you can do it but ya gotta jump through some hoops. They are comfortable so the only reason I'd see you removing them is if it gets really old and rip or something like that. This rivals my HD 650 in most areas except resolution. Still really good but the 650's are great however $300+. I think this is a steal of a deal. Easily the biggest bang for the buck in my quiver. Go get one now!

PROS: Great quality of sound, very lightweight, long audio cord included and affordable pice. Bought a VMODA Boom Mic with it and works awesome. Can wear this for a very long time. Very good headphones overall. CONS: Not enough clamp force, it may slide if you move even a bit, and in my particular case had to buy a sound card for it to work fine.

The sound is clear detailed crispy and precise, especially with 8 bit music. Ear cups are padded foam and cover entire ear with room to spare. Does not rest directly on your ears but on head around ears. The head band is not tight, and these can nearly fall off if your pick up something off the floor. You can wear these for a long time with no discomfort. These are open back headphones, and if others can hear your music then you are playing it too loud for your ears. I tried using an equalizer, but after many adjustments and frequency sweeps I decided it sounds best without any equalization. Yes these are studio quality headphones for sure. I like how tunes with square waves sound pure and exact, something my other headphones never could do. Best sound you can get for $64.

Hi! Unless you have great deal of money these headphones are pretty spectacular! And for $64 they can't be beat. I came back for a 2nd set for my wife. A small SMSL 50watt Headphone amp really made them go. The SMSL also was also $64 and I got 2 of those as well, my wife wanted one too. I needed to use the laptop equalizer to removed a slight amount of treble as the headphones can get very bright in sound but I love them. Hurry! These are now discontinued! BY!

To the average person, these phones are near audiophile quality, but perhaps a little harder to drive than expected. At 32 ohms resistance, they should be louder than my old Kenwood 90 ohm set. They aren't as loud, so I will still need a headphone amplifier. They seem to lack a little bit in the high frequencies, but my ears are not what they used to be. For the price, they are extremely good- very comfortable and pleasant to listen to. If your hearing is still normal, you will love these headphones.

These headphones are amazing. They are the most comfortable headphones. The sound is really smooth for all genres and having a universal 3.5mm detachable cable is the best. The only potential drawback is that the clamp is really light so I wear these when I'm not doing too much moving around; they do slide around on my head if im moving a lot. But, they are by far my favorite headphones. I wish there was a closed back equivalent for when I'm in public.
