this guy reads my mind and knows exactly what i want to watch, insane.
I bought the SHP9600 and the HD560S for me and my brother and we DEFINITELY preferred the comfort from the SHP9600. We had the same issue as stated in this video wherein the back upper half of the headphone clamped significantly more which didn't exist for the SHP9600. I found that I needed to adjust the HD560S from time to time unlike the SHP9600 which I barely touched after putting them on.
Another great video, thanks! Indication of most all-rounder of the bunch is very nice in comparisons like these.
Fun listen on my XM3s. You’ve got a great mic and a smooth voice. Appreciate keeping the music bed low in the mix.
Great comparison and insight...subscribed.
Very in detail review, love it
Aaaand I found a new headphone channel for me to watch, what a great day!
Waddup! Welcome in, we're just getting started!
Another fabulous video. Keep up the great work. BTW, I never said thanks a couple of weeks ago for your suggestion for an easy-to-use equalizer that might work well for blind people. It didn't, but still thanks for the suggestion.
Oh man, sorry to hear that. I think your best hope is to use something physical like the Schiit Loki. It's only a 4-band solution, but at least it should be hassle-free
@@chuckolatte600 thayks and thanks for continuing to bring such great content. I'm a new babe in∮ wood when it comes to audiophile videos. This is great learning, even if it's just the bits where you state what songs you test for videos. Gives me something new to listen to.
I loved this review
Thanks, Mr. White
Great work...
I love this channel for headphones review/comparison, among the best on RUclips. You've got a new sub.
What would you recommend for podcasts and series??
ChuckoBoy, i tried both the Fidelio X2hr and the Hifiman He4xx. On the Vocal department, which is very important to me, the Fidelios sometimes had the vocals a little muddy and far away from you, yet i still preferred them over the He4xx because on the x2hr the vocals are presented in front of you, making it easy to focus on them, and on the He4xx you have some type of "holographic" feeling, where the vocals are somehow between you, where i just couldn't focus on the vocals on it at all. I really disliked it, when im enjoying my songs i like to concentrate on the vocals and be immersed on the surround with all the instruments.
Are the vocals on the Hifiman Sundara similar to those on the he4xx?
I can't remember tbh, but I want to say that vocals are better on the Sundaras. I personally have far less complaints with the Sundaras overall than with the HE-4XX
@@chuckolatte600 thanks man! can i ask you a final request (at least for now hehehe)? can you listen to "Tick-Tock, from Hans Zimmer" on the Fidelio X2hr and Sundara and say which one do you prefer and find more engaging and "emotional"? of course, both with your preferencial EQ, i want them on their possible best.
Maybe on the Ananda too if you still have it. I know that you cannot stand the Highs on it but im very interested on this headphone for the future. You said that the Sundara dont have the rumble that the Ananda and Arya have, but with EQ can you change it?
Btw do you think that changing the Ananda's or Sundara's headband for the Arya headband will make it more comfortable? i mean, the Egg-earcup shape and pads are almost the same on the Ananda, soo probably the clamp problem is on the headband. And the Sundara, well, people say thats already comfortable but more comfort with swivel earcups is always better xD
Sorry for bothering you! Prices are quite high on my country soo i need to be veeery careful. The Minimum month salary here converted is $180, and taxes makes everything imported costs 2x more. Sundara for example costs $700, which means 3.8x month salaries.
Is it the 'Fidelio' just pulling on the price the 9600's?
This video is all I wanted. I was so confused between these 3 headphones and the Fidelio X2hr as my first Open Back Audiophile grade headphone. Subscribed. But now I'm confused between HD560s and Fidelio X2hr.
just discovered your channel, a lot of good information, do you have a headphone recommendation list ? at a similar price point including the source would you recommend a full size can or an iem [taking into consideration that an iem can get away with a $10-30 usb dongle dac vs a $100-200 dac/amp required to deliver enough power for full size cans] ? thanks
Heya! Well I don't like IEMs so I'd go with the full-size HPs lol. I got a recommendation list at the bottom of every video description (but it can really use an update)
Good job...
hey was curious if you will eventually review zmf auteur in the middle to harder woods and zmf aeolus
Yeah, definitely! Once my channel grows a little bit more, I plan on contacting Zach to see if he's willing to ship out some review units to me. I'll do so within a month or two.
Which do you think would be better for metall, funk, jazz, blues. Thank you very much and very good video
560s easily. Very clean and flexible
Please review the gold planar GL2000 🙏
It's August 2023 and the SHP9600 are $32 on Amazon. It was a no-brainer for me.
damn now they 70$ fook
thanks for this,im looking for headphones to mix in, I have the 990 and I hate them they not really natural sounding,
I bought the 9600 for my first open back headphones. They are large enough for ny big ears, which is good. I don't like them for gaming, but that's not why I bought them. Very happy for $60.
Why don’t you like them for gaming?
@Gus of All Trades they sound weird. Idk how to explain it. It's mainly the footsteps and gunshots I don't like. I'll stick to my old Corsair voids.
@@gusofalltrades865They feel like they lack something for gaming, but to listen to music, videos or podcasts they are spectacular
Great review! Thank you for mentioning that Childish Gambino song! I just got pair of 9600's. While I like them as far as comfort, they are very comfortable. While I don't have any other open-back headphones to compare with, the bass is bloated and undefined in relation to my Audio Technica ATH-MSR7(I realize this is not fair comparing closed-back vs open back). I will most likely send the 9600's back to Amazon and get a better open back pair.
may I ask how many hours approx did use them before coming to that conclusion. have not listened to 9600 yet, but in my own experience headphones can clear up quite a bit down the line
@@hotdog9262 I had them for about a week before returning them.
@@KeithCopeland778 what do you pick im in the same problem i dont know what do buy shp or hd 559 559
@@M20AFKS I tried both the SHP9500 and 9600 and didn't like either pair. I ended up getting the Phillips Fidelio X2HR and they're AMAZING to me!!!
i have an ath m 30 x , do you thing the 560 would be a major update?
yes
Yeah, defo
gran video, amigo podrías comparar los shp 9500 con los presonus hd7 y los beyerdynamic dt990 por favor? gracias saludos desde Colombia
Gracias! Eeeee, a lo mejor dentro de un par de meses cuando pueda conseguir mas modelos de Beyerdynamic para poder compararlos entre ellos mismos.
I have both HD560s and SHP9500. I can't use the Sennheiser without intervals to relieve the pressure against my skull, while I can listen to music on the Philips for hours without even touching the phone to adjust something. The sound difference is so subtle that I tend to choose Philips over Sennheiser, just because of the clamping force.
I just don't get why some people keep saying the sHP9600s feel boxed in. Not at all, I don't get what people are listening to. Joshua Valour's comparison puts SHP9600 soundstage in the "middle" of the two other headphones he'd compared it to (58x and 9500).
underrated af channel
who is better for gaming, shp9500 o hd 560s?
Check out fresh reviews. He’s a actual pro gamer. He reviewed them and also mentioned vertical imaging (telling where the enemy is above or below you). I’d personally look toward him for a more gaming centric opinion
Good video, but my english is wery bed. I,am not understanding finaly what bye 9500 or 560. Which the best ?
HD560
RaZeR kRaKeN x
Jk
What can you say about the Sony mdr-xb500??? 🤔 🤓
Like the 10 year old mid bass king!? Lol…. Entry level
Would the 560s be considered a decent upgrade to the Shp9500
Definitely a good upgrade, IMO. Keep in mind the only thing you'd be losing is a little bit of soundstage width. But that's about it! :)
@@chuckolatte600 thanks much for the reply! I’m loving the 560s. You were spot on with your descriptions!
The only sonic edge the 560s have over the 9500s is better bass reproduction. The 9500s have more accurate mids and treble, better imaging and a wider soundstage. They're also more comfortable and less expensive.
*** update* Chuck, they made a second version of the "S" version. I saw the 2nd, 2nd version has a blue box color with the same 6-35kHz markings on the side just like the green boxed version. Just thught you should know Chuck.
I think they are the same thing, philips wanted to make more of these
Yeah, I had actually bought a pair of those from someone to gift to my grandpa. They had aftermarket pads that made them sound too v-shaped for my tastes. Ofc, that means I didn't get to try them out at stock. But my grandpa loved them anyways (first decent pair of HPs he'd owned and he's a huge music lover, was also going deaf)
@@bernardoblanchetramirez6032 they made only 2 versions. the only difference is the the frequency range. versions 1,3 are 11 -35K while 2,4 are 6-35 which give better bass response and if you EQ them they will make decent sub bass (2,4) otherwise all headphones look identical with 1,3 black box and 2,4 green and blue. When they exploded they pushed 1, then 3.
@@chuckolatte600 It's too bad they changed pads, that can change everything. Chuck would you say those were more similar to the 9600 with the aftermarket pads?
@@woundedaudiophile1218 NOOOOO not at all. The 9500S with those denim-velour pads had HYPED meaty bass and a SHAAARP treble. Absolute terror.
Nice vid, puts things into perspective. I still feel like I don't understand soundstage though. When I first put on the 9600, it just sounded like a closed back. Besides the tuning, I don't hear a difference compared to my M40X. And to add to that, again, I hear no difference between the M40X and my $10 JBL earbuds. Like, the hell am I supposed to be looking for bruh, I thought spending 10 times the money would get me 10 times the audio quality, but all I got was depression
Try using those m40x for a good couple of weeks, then try going back to the JBL buds. Guarantee you will hear a difference haha
@@chuckolatte600 I've been actively using the M40X for 8 months. Guess the treble made me deaf lolololololol
@@MrVybson No offense, but it could be your ears. Not everyone has an ear for such things. I can hear the difference between my M40x, HD58x, and ATH-G1. If I want to listen to music, I pull out my HD58x. If I want to play BFV, I pull out my M40x, and if I want to play BFV with friends online, I pull out the ATH-G1. I can tell the difference between each of them. Unfortunately, us humans are not all made equal. :(
How do these compare to the 58x and 6xx
In terms of sound signature, the closest to the 6XX are the SHP9600. The closest to the 58X are the 560S. They're not really the same though, I'd still go for the higher-priced option unless you really can't afford it.
Between all these which would you pick for piano practice?
@@Elazarko In terms of sound quality, the HD560s. They're the most accurate of the bunch. But in terms of comfort, the SHP9500/9600
@@chuckolatte600Is there by any chance a way to get the 560s to sound more laid back and less analytical with a certain affordable amp/dac for when wanting the sound to be more lenient and fit a chill vibe? (Do they do that naturally to some extent?) Because well I pretty much listen to all kinds of music from jazz, funk and instrumental to more modern pop/rap and all kinds of EDM as well as obvs wanting a dope experience when watching films. A big part of getting an open back Is for practice on a digital piano, so i want an accurate sound tho I'm not necessarily looking for "producing" headphones. Any suggestions? What do you recommend I get?
@@chuckolatte600 btw your videos and comments are really helpful! Thank you for that!
I use the Sony Xperia 1 iii which has better sound quality than the Samsung Galaxy. And I plan to get either the 9600 or the HD560s
Waka waka!!
I don't understand why everyone is putting the SHP's up against the HD560s. HD599 would be more appropiate as it's around the same price (at least where I live).
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯💯
in the sea of bs i managed to narrow it down to these three (mostly) But I got a big ass head so I guess that sexy sennheiser is out and im down for some bass. 9600 it is. Thanks bud
Not Bad
Aye
still can't decide between the 560s and the 600s lol
considering i use headphones 95% for gaming
you should do a video about that: best headphones for gaming, best headphones for different genres, best comfort, etc etc
like a buyer's guide
Honestly 58x jubilee is ur baby
@@theodorezurla496 why?
@@danterikxx they are the best for gaming and with music they are solid all rounders 👌👍
@@danterikxx watch The Headphone's Show review of the Beyerdynamic DT990. CHrono (the reviewer) compared it to HD58X for gaming.
I use the 560s for gaming. I find them spectacular, great positioning and sound effects are accurate (sound as the developer intended). This reviewer finds them tight but I find they blend in with my head and do not notice they are on. I would recommend EQ'in the bass up though for a little more oomph.
never heard Zealot of Stockholm before, tried listening to it because of this video but i immediately jump to the 1:34 minute mark and i thought my dac is broken lol
lmao my first experience hearing that was in a car with a 12 inch subwoofer. how do you think I felt? haha
Hey thanks for the reply! Have you tried reviewing samson sr850? It's around 40$ too, and i've heard a lot of positive thing about it. Definitely one of the under 100$ budget contender. I'm currently using one and thinking about upgrading to shp9500, since they're around the same price bracket I'm just wondering if the jump would be significant enough to justify
@@MrBlitzpunk Interesting...might take a look at them!
@@chuckolatte600 subbed 👍 waiting for that review!

Great review.
Comparing headphones to 👞.
Hmm
He didn't sound drunk.
Maybe I should get drunk 🥴 and watch this a few times
I like how you snuck 'that's what she said ' into it.
' Is it yet honey?'
Do people not use mics on headphones anymore? I wanted good sounding headphones with mic I can use for gaming and work but it's literally never in reviews. Do people who buy these just don't use mics?
Pretty much, yep. Plus, typical DAC/amps don't have an option for a mic plug-in. Look at the Schiit Hel or the Schiit Fulla 4 though
Get the soundblaster x3 and pair it with your gaming headset 👍🏻👍🏻
hd560s not comfortable and sound is too much linear
BRO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING I JUST CAME HERE TO FIND OUT IF THE SHP9600 ARE GOOD FOR GAMES LMAO WHY DOES THIS ALL SOUND LIKE GIBBERISH TO ME
