Summary: SUPERB for CD and Hi-end Cassette (Dolby) Players 2008-11-20
Comment: Use these with 16 OHM units. What does that mean? Well, just about every CD player and hi-end (Dolby) Cassette player, that's all. I don't use iPod or MP3--they are not GOOD ENOUGH. I am not an advocate of QUANTITY (hours of music) over QUALITY (CD and, yes, the hi-end cassette players). This review is for people who KNOW what music sounds like.
If you are one such person, then know this: The Philips SHL9500's are the finest on-ear phones for the money. PERIOD.
But there is more. At 32 OHMS with 40mm drivers, these phones hold their own even against my Sennheiser HD580s. THAT is saying something. They sound SMOOTH and NATURAL. Using a 32 OHM phone on a generally-rated 16 OHM unit reduces residual amp noise. If you don't believe this, try the 12 OHM Philips SHE9850's and you will get CRUD from a CD or Hi-end (Dolby) Cassette player. If you want to blow your mind (and eardrums) with phoney bass, these may not be for you. But then, you don't listen to MUSIC, you listen to BOOM-BOOM. These are for the real folks.
I use Philips SHE9800's on planes for their isolation (not the SHE9850's--see my reviews on both)--and these every other place. Enough said.

Summary: Good but..... 2008-09-01
Comment: 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.

Summary: Amazing Sound 2008-08-07
Comment: 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.

Summary: Best Bang for the Buck 2008-06-30
Comment: 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!"

Summary: Very nice 2008-05-14
Comment: I've only been listening to these for a day, just got them yesterday. If they are going to sound better after some break-in time, I have to say Wow!, because they sound great now. I am hearing detail that I never heard on my Koss porta pro, they actually rival my Senns 595s.
I am listening to them on an old Archos 20 gig recorder, and 95% of the tunes are coded at 320, with Rockbox firmware loaded, so I can really fine tune the sound. Also attached is a Total AirHead amp.
Very comfortable and lightweight.
