Frequently Asked Questions

• Is there a microphone on the Philips SHP9500?
  Both the headphone and microphone signals are carried through it. There’s an inbuilt remote for volume and muting the mic, and the mic’s low profile is an added convenience.

• Is an amp required for the SHP9500?
  These are incredibly efficient, with 32 Ohms Impedance and 101dB Sensitivity, and won’t require much power from an amp to reach acceptable listening levels.

• Is SHP9500 a decent product?
  The Phillips SHP9500 are an excellent pair of critical listening headphones for the money. They’re quite comfortable, with a solid yet lightweight construction that feels long-lasting. They’re not outdoor-friendly headphones, but they offer a decent, well-balanced sound that’s comparable to far more expensive open-back counterparts.

• What’s the difference between the SHP9500 and SHP9500S from Philips?
  A ten-foot springy rope and a fabric carrying case are included with the original SHP9500. The updated SHP9500S comes with a good 5-foot chord but no carrying pouch. That is all there is to it.

• What are the benefits of open-back headphones?
  Air can travel through the ear cups of open-back headphones from the rear of the speaker driver. This means that the rear enclosure’s resonances and low-frequency build-up aren’t a problem. Open-back headphones are used in high-end headphones because they sound more natural and clearer.

• Do you require a DAC and an amplifier for the SHP9500?
  The Philips SHP9500 is a 32-Ohm headphone that is very easy to operate and can be connected straight into anything without the need for an additional headphone amplifier.

• What’s the difference between closed and open back headphones?
  The exterior shell of the ear covering is perforated in some way, generally with horizontal cutouts, in open-back headphones. Closed-back headphones have a complete outer shell with no perforations of any kind, effectively encasing the entire ear.

• Is it possible to open the back of closed-back headphones?
  There’s a pretty good chance you’ll fail. A single blunder could cause harm to the headphones’ driver and electronics. I’d do it as a test with a somewhat inexpensive pair. If you’re thinking of doing this with a more expensive pair, don’t.

• What does it sound like to wear headphones with an open back?
  When you listen to music with open-back headphones, it seems as though the music is coming from all directions — it sounds larger and deeper. This experience is referred to as “soundstage,” and it’s one of the main reasons to go with an open-back vehicle.

• Can open-back headphones be heard?

• You might be able to get away with open-backed headphones at lesser sound levels, but at higher volumes, everyone will hear you. Note that in louder places, the sound leakage from the headphones may be drowned out by the din.
