Philips SHP9500

The Philips SHP9500 are great for neutral sound. These cans have a very neutral sound profile that reproduces vocals and instruments clearly and accurately. Although they lack low-bass, which is expected from their open-back design, they have a touch of extra warmth and boom to help balance their sound. Their passive soundstage is wide and spacious, creating an immersive audio experience. Their low impedance means you don't need to use them with an amp to get the most out of them.
