Audio-Technica ATH-M20x vs Philips SHP9500

So all in all, at the end of the day, are these headphones worth buying? Well, for $50, I would say yes. I've bought many of these headphones for on-s...

Makes me wonder, whatever happened to the sub $150 headphone market? When I first started this hobby, this was where the action was. You had stuff like the SR60/SR80, K81/K181, the Shure 440/840/750DJ, Audio Technica AD700, HD555-558, HD280,DT440/860, CAL/D1001, 7506, even Ultrasones were options here. I took a break for a few years and just recently came back in 2020, and man, this price category looks barren.

* **TaoTronics TT-BH042:** Budget bluetooth headset with crappy ANC. I did like these (comfortable) but ever after hearing the Sony WF-1000XM3, this sounds like absolute rubbish.

It is not neccesity to be a open back i just want to a headset that do not make my ears sweat. I have found philips shp9500 but when i check rtings.com it is claim that arctis 3 better than this and, i want to buy a better headset than i currently own. My max budget is 80 dollars

The best headset for streaming at the budget level is the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x. These over-ear headphones have a very accurate mid-range, which ensures the accurate reproduction of vocals. They also have a decently comfortable fit that doesn't apply too much pressure on your head.

If your audio solution has something like a Scout or an FPS mode, use it. Far Cry New Dawn was interesting because the rustling of the brush right aro...

The best budget-friendly headphones for DJs that we've tested are the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x. These wired over-ear headphones have a decently comfortable fit and don't clamp onto your head too tightly. They have a simple all-black design and are fairly sturdy and breathable.

However, the open-back enclosure allows sound to leave the ear cups and bounce against your environment, which helps create a more immersive and spacious passive soundstage. While they lack a thumpy low-bass, which is normal from open-back headphones, their mid-range is exceptionally flat and well-balanced, resulting in the clear, present, and accurate reproduction of dialogue and instruments. They also have a very comfortable fit, so you can wear them for long listening sessions without feeling fatigued.

It is something I feel is an important consideration, particularly when you have to wear them for extended periods of time. I have a pair of noise-cancelling Bose headphones for travel, and after an hour, it feels like I've be in a vacuum with a vice on my head. That's not the case with the M20s. I sometimes wear them for hours (while writing in the studio) without even realizing I am still wearing them

* Philips SHP9500 (Modded - Shure 1840 pads with custom in-pad attenuators, customized MrSpeakers Leather Comfort strap, V-moda Boom PRO, blacked out grilles)

I can wear them all day and neither my head, where they rest, or specially my ears, will hurt. These are a wonderful pair of headphones on this regard.

I have Dekoni Bulletz on there. Great sound, wish it was bassier, but it’s my workhorse.
