Philips SHP9500 vs Sony MDR-7506

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...

They also get very loud/\s/ when using them. With my Macbook Pro, I find 30/\s/volume to be plenty when listening to the 7506s/\s/ You hear the sounds...

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.

And then I play it back through an objective DAC and an O2 objective amp running through a Mac that is placed on headphones right over top of these ea...

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

Nevertheless, I'm still happy with the design. They are comfortable on my large head, and the cord is just the right length and looseness for me.

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

I had a pair of orig V6s back in the day and they eventually broke at the slider mount for the earpiece when I sat on them. These are prolly weak in the same way. Should otherwise be durable and long lived.

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.

So I can't give a great review since I am lacking in knowledge regarding sound equipment so my opinion would be amateurish at best. However, it is hard to beat the price for a good headphone like this.

I spend about half my day talking to people, and the other half with my head down working. The trouble is, the people around me are in the same situation, and our quiet parts of the day are seldom aligned, plus we are all loud talkers, so my office is usually really noisy. The first two headsets I tried were earbud headsets. One set (Shure e2c) accomplished sound-isolation via earbuds composed of foam earplugs
