If you are OK with wired then get Phillips SHP-9500 with a vModa Boompro. I've been using that for years now and I have no complaints.
shp9600. Spare parts are easy to find, build quality is great for the price. I love my shp9500 and it's still in good condition even after 7 years. I bet the 9600 is better since the treble isn't as piercing as the 9500
shp9500, makes me value good mids over boosted bass. Now I'm happy with both my hd660s and hd620s. I also got a few pair of iems which are great, but never actually use anymore. Still wondering if I should sell them lol
shp9500 for me. Reliable, still working fine after many years.
Yes.. I use a philips shp 9500 for years, never want to go back to a "gaming headset" they make my ears vomit every time I compare to my Philips 🎧 but I haven't try gaming headset nowadays, the one I'm comparing and I still have it for occasional usage is steelseries arctis 1 wireless.. just because it's wireless and it can produce sound and bass that's it.
I use the Philips SHP-9500. Solid, budget, dedicated wired headphones. Works great connected to my Denon receiver for movies and stuff.
Phillips SHP9500. Forget “Gaming headphones”. Buy a separate mic.
SHP9500 and HD599 are two of the most comfortable pairs I've tried. SHP9500 being the "most loose" on my head when wearing it (if I tilt my head upward or downward, it would fall). HD599 is like a "less clampy" HD6XX. I can wear it for a long time without getting headache.
Exactly. And not just that, these honest sound the best to me out of ANY other set up I’ve tried. The closest is the Philips SHP9500 (not 9600). You could save a few bucks and get the SHP9500 and be just fine. I still use them sometimes when I’m bored, it’s just the X2HRs sound a hair better and are more comfortable to me.
Si querés algo barato y que suene de puta madre, tenés los **Philips SHP9500 (tapa abierta no aislan sonido)**. Si querés algo más resistente y con buen sonido, tenés los **Beyerdynamic dt770 (tapa cerrada) o dt990 (tapa abierda)**. Si preferís algo más cómodo y con un sonido más cálido, los **Sennheiser hd599(tapa abierta)** o **Audio-Technica MX40/MX50(tapa cerrada)** van muy bien. Y si querés auriculares *gamer* que rindan y sean inalámbricos, tenés los **HyperX Cloud 2**.
