![Z Review - Sennheiser HD58X Jubilee [WOW-FFFFFF]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qE22dZ_jiyU/mqdefault.jpg)
You really forgot didnt you, Z?
In the bathroom...the cable from the original SHP9500 is IN the bathroom
Nah, after he ended that vid he likely threw the cable out the window at the fiddler.
Watching a video about the SHP9500 with a modmic while wearing a SHP9500 with a modmic.
Headphoneception is real.
Same!
sadly though the modmic sucks. Sounds over processed, and i much prefer the mic on my $23 SA-902. though, those aren't comfortable...so great for short recordings heh.
Now that you did these, you gotta do X2 "vintage" vs X2HR
He finally did, two years after your comment.
lol
I already have had that cheap dac and shp9500 combo for like a year, and I love it. So glad i randomly found that dac in a vid and u approved the combo.
Just ordered a pair of these, a SMSL M3 and a high quality 3.5mm to 1/4" cable. I've been watching your vids for a few hours, thanks for all the great info.
Picked a set of those up for 50$ and the boom pro because it sounds better than a modmic. 50$!!!! crazy. Such a good gaming headset.
We have 3 of the originals and the Vmoda mikes in the house...lol Make sure you hook up the SHP9500's to some real power at least once. They are really good for music as well. Had mine since the original review and have really enjoyed them, especially for the money. Unbeatable.....
I really need to get a decent dac/amp. Maybe the one he showed in this video. I'm not a big spender on stuff like this, but I like to get the best I can within my budget, for a gaming headset there is none better than this combo, I've tried so many. The only other set I liked was Hyperx cloud 2's, but those are closed and the mic is only so so. I think it's removable though, so plugging in a boompro would be a possibility.. hmmm..
Yes, another huge benefit is the fact that they are open backed. It allows you to be aware of your environment and I rarely sweat in mine and they are very comfortable no doubt about it... I would definitely look into getting a dac amp combo or something like it that is on the cheap side. If you have a PS you could use the optical for that purpose, just not on the mic....but single player games would be amazing, like Horizon: ZERO DAWN.
So glad for this video. I got the S. Had them for over a year. And they are stil going strong. Only thing is the little cloth strap broke. Gonna get another pair soon.
Bought these on crazy sale with the Syba Sonic Amp/DAC that you have in the description of this video and couldn't be more happy, thank you. Please review the Syba Sonic Amp/DAC for future consumers!
I guess it could be an unpopular opinion, based on the like-dislike ratio, but I really hated that you talked so much about dacs and microphones and other headphones and even recommended the philips headphones, when I just wanted to know about the SHP9500 and SHP9500s comparison.
The hype is real. Appreciate the insight and glad to have found a nice inexpensive set of open cans that produce the type of sound I’ve been searching for. These paired with a Fiio A3 are a great combo, quick flip of the bass boost switch on certain types of music and it’s all you need. Enjoy your videos, keep it up.
I got my SHP9500s' today and damn, they sound amazing. My first open headphones. I thought the bass would be light, but it's perfect. To think they'll sound even better after being properly broken in is just WOW. Using a Denon AVR-S530BT headphone out to amp them right now (USB -> Coax -> Denon). Loving it.
I´m all into sim racing and I love my Philips SHP9500s when racing and streaming, combined with the Vero Moda Boom Pro Mic it is a "end game" for me. Some say it is overkill for sim racing but I say all worth it and I gladly show interested this lovely review! Thanks for all your great work!
Love your reviews. Been wanting to get new headphone so watching these are very helpful.
I'm thinking of getting Philips SHP9500s or Audio Technica M40X still researching, but really like the reviews on philips plus price is nice.
FirstLTRipvanWinkle M40X is more versatile and you can get away with using them on the go, I'd decide literally JUST whether you can use open backs. They're both absolutely amazing, but closed vs open. Let that be the deciding factor.
Have that Syba Sonic DAC/amp, it’s quite decent and really feature-rich, and I love that it has both a 1/4” and 1/8” jack so I never need an adaptor for any of my headphones.
Have you used a microphone through it? I want to know if there's any static/noise via the Syba because the reviews on Amazon don't really help since they don't specify what product when there's multiple on it
THE mic works like magic mate! no static/noise.. and this is coming from a guys that was using the mic jack coming straight from an ASUS Maximus VIII and the syba is waaaay better :D hope it helps
Thanks for the response! I am on an older system, sandy bridge mobo and all that, so i'm expecting different results based on that if any but i wanted some reassurance.
When is the review for the Sennheiser GSX1000, and SybaSonic Amp/ Dac coming? Thanks for the great reviews! I just got my Fidelio X2HR's and I love them. Next I'm looking for an Amp/ Dac. Currently looking at the Mayflower ARC but you have my attention with the $38 SybaSonic as a temporary solution.
just got my pair and omfg they are so good thankyou very much the bug has me and wont let go
So.. is the Syba Sonic Amp/Dac good? I'm trying to find a great dac/amp for under 50
Thanks for your honest reviews bc of your reviews I bought the m40s and the Phillips.. And yes I changed the pads and wires to my m40s both are fucking awesome thanks again
Zeos please do Syba Sonic DAC/Amp review, it is rich in features, but does it even improve anything? for Ω32-150ohm headphones, like SHP9500, CB-1, M40X, Fostex T50RP and Fidelio X2 really interested if this cheapie is worth it, for everyday speakers and headphones combo. Or a bit more advanced brother M-Audio Super DAC. Really love SMSL M3, but it lacks features, would get Origen+ but it is not available in EU. VOTE UP GUYS, Cheers.
I would greatly appreciate it if you redo the sound demo for these with your new set-up. Thanks Z!
Just got some fidelio x2s for my bday thanks for the review m8
When using these for gaming with the boom pro does the mic pick up the sound from the headphones?
Philips SHP9500 and a Mod Mic with an included Audioengine D1 was and still is I believe one of the best purchases for my gaming setup. Almost wish I went with a Schiit Fulla 2 though because of the 1/4-Inch input and awesome knob.
Hey Zeos,
Ive been looking at these for a while, but now im struggling to figure out whether to get these, or, the Lasmex l-85. Which would you pick?
Thank you Z I bought the shp9500s for around $52 US dollars and the v moba this was around 4 months ago and they were really good.
damn never heard of these heaphones, and saw this vid in my recommended.. why did phillips discontinue these? can't seem to find them anywhere on the net.
So do I need a dac if I get these headphones and the vmoda boom pro mic? Or can I just run it of my motherboard?
Hi zeos, I bought the shp's last year and couldn't be more pleased with them, however i'm now looking for a set of closed cans within a budget of about $200. The most important factors are comfort and noise isolation, and I was wondering which would be better for those qualities between the m40x with brainwavz angled pleather pads, and the stock cb-1 headset (or if you think something else would be better, that too). Thanks in advance for helping.
Edit: I prefer softer pads which is why im thinking about going with the hm5's over the zmf's, though ive never been able to actually feel either in person.
you bought m40x?
@@Croftbr i never ended up getting the m40x's, no. I did buy the cb1's years ago, but i would reccomend the takstar pro 82's if comfort is your thing. They are decently isolating, incredibly comfortable stock, cheap, and have decent sound. I would bet the m40's have better sound, but far worse stock comfort.
I have been tripping on wires of my headphone. Zeos, do you got a recommendation for these problems?
I wonder how good will this setup be: SHP9500S; NeoMusicia mic, and the Syba Sonic AMP/DAC mic
So, If I have an external dac/amp SMSL M3, already, and want to connect the headphones into the M3, How would I be able to attach a mic, the V Moda to it to work as well?
I'm watching this video wearing SHP9500s, and with stock cable, which is fine IMO.
Hey, I have used the shp 9500 for 3 days now and I have seen people say that with the correct EQ settings then it can make the headphones sound much better. I am currently using shields42 from reddit and I'm split between whether I prefer the stock or the modified sound. If anyone can help with their peace configuration then I'll highly appreciated it.
Waiting for mine to come in tomorrow, and returning these A10's.
last time I was watching the original review on vintage one and having my SHP9500Son the way, this time I was with that and watching this.
for those of you still wondering the only difference is the wire change, the headphone still says SHP9500 on the inside of the headband, so the headphones are identical, just a new wire.
You should definately review the AD700Xes when you have the chance! I'd like to know your opinion on them.
Does the MPOW Bluetooth receiver have latency while watching CZcams or gaming?
Glad the SHPs still the same amazeballs. Just recommend them to a friend of mine.
on sale for $60 CAD right now, tempted to grab them and a boom pro mic but i'm wondering if these things will leak enough to have the mic pick it up. would be the first set of open headphones for me and i'd hate to not be able to use them with the mic.
what kind of (DAC/)AMP would you recommend for the HiFiMAN HE-400i? Tube or solid state? and which? shouldnt be too expensive :)
got these because of you Z , three months ago, i cannot be happier ! For some songs and games I use APO eq with PEACE to bring up some bass , but mainly i don't even use the equalizer . 11/10
Hey Z, been appreciating all your vids. Could you please tell me if you know anything about the Fidelio x2hr’s! I just purchased a pair from eBay, but they seem like a unicorn online with no info on them, making me second guess my purchase. Thanks in advance.
I love my SHP9500. I have 2 pair. Bought them both $50 each on Newegg sales after Z's first review. Since then I have bought several headphones including the Audeze LCD 3. I have to say the SHP9500 are still used in my collection and hold their own in both sound and comfort. Amazing value for the price!
GSX 1000 HYPE! Can't wait!
Using my shp9500s to listen to this video. My v moda boompro is on its way. But they seem underwhelming? Atm w the stock cable, it seems underwhelming. And was very quiet compared to my Razer headset when I tried em out on my ps4. Is it the stock cable being trash? I greatly hope the vmoda enhances it, cuz they were too quiet while gaming w stock cable
That Standard Vmoda Cable is sold out and no restock date. I looked at others and they all seemed to have more cable failures. Do you recommend I wait or keep looking what?
So which ones should I get if they’re the same price and I’m changing the cable
Yes
I can get the Philips fidelio x2 for 130 $ in Sweden right now - would they be worth getting over the SHP9500 (around 100-130 atm)?
Hi Zeo, on May 11, 2015 you reviewed Philips Fidelio X2 then on Sep 18, 2015 you reviewed Philips SHP9500 (and SHP9500s one year later). You raved all of them. Which one would you buy, given the big price differece?
Sennheiser GSX 1000 Z Review coming soon? Good.
There's a 2.0 HD setting in it that I would like to hear Z thoughts on. Does that setup compare to a regular low-powered Amp?
Hi Zeos, are the SHP 9500 still your recommendation for an open pair of gaming headphones or the Superlux HD 668B? Regards from Germany.
Which of the 3 would be the ideal to own? - Philips Fidelio X2HR, Monoprice M1060 or Hifiman HE400i? ( if you consider the price with Monoprice being the most expensive and Hifiman the cheapest )
Z EL-8C, TH610 or Sony Z7? I need good isolation and something for gaming.
You should do review on logitech 2.1 or 5.1 speakers, i was always wondering how would someone with alot of experience rate them since most of reviews are made from people that are not into audio stuff
What else hardware I need to run this headphones with a PC to be able to listen to a decent sound?
hey zeos, would you pad roll on your hd 600s? dekoni has a drop on MD for their velour and leather pads on right now and im trying to decide if i should get a pair for my 6xx i have coming in the mail
Best open under 200 with great comfort? Koss Porta pro ! But I am still inclined to try those 9500
shp9500 +fx audio dac-x6 is a best choose for the price ?
Hey Z! These headphones went up to $250!? How the heck? I’m glad I bought them a few years back when I saw your review. I was trying to recommend them to my cousin, and then I saw the price. Shame
Thanks Z - love your work!
Disregarding the microphone, for gaming do you recommend the SHP9500s over the HD698B? I play R6 and accurate positional audio is a necessity. Can't wait to see what you think of the Sennheiser GSX1000.
@Z Reviews Which one has more bass, the modded SHP9500 with the 3D printed cups and new pads or the Fostex Argon? Which one do you like and enjoy better for gaming and music with heavy/hard hitting bass? Thanks in advance!
megumin just chilling
thesadprofesso megumin just dying
SchaMmyyy she's not dead, there was just an EXPLOSION recently.

Have you had success using the SHP9500S + Boom Pro combo with that Syba Sonic since making this video? I just purchased those phones and mic and since my mobo's mic input doesn't work I was thinking about getting the Syba as well. Should I just buy a cheap USB External Sound Card Adapter or will this Syba actually improve the sound quality?
Did you shot this video by Gopro? Thanks
Zeos plz! I bought this summer the HD600 and the X7s. is it worth going on XLR for the HD600?Did you noticed big difference or small or not at all ,I am saying this because i didn't find cheap XLR cable for the 600s plz.
Any idea as to what Dac/amp is the on the right? the one which he connected first.
Open box on Newegg for $38, dunno if they'll go back in stock.
Will the SHP9500 work fine if i will use them as a headset in a home studio? as if i have a condenser microphone, am i risking by taking such open back headphones a sound leakage that will enter my microphone while recording?
Do I sell my audio Technica ath msr7s to upgrade to a hifiman 400i?
Hey z, if my motherboard gigabyte ab-350 gaming 3 has built in sound card already (Realtek ALC1220 codec, not sure if that's what you called it), would using the syba improve the sound substantially? Using shp9500 + vmoda boompro just like you did.
I do notice constant hiss and sometime cracks while connecting directly to MB, or front panel.
hi there is some difference in the sound between the two headphones as the box says it has different frequencies z review.
Zeos, these or Takstar Pro 82 in terms of comfort?
Is there are any other Bluetooth adapter apart from the one you are showing? It is too big to attached n looks odd
ETA on the Syba Sonic review?
I need a DAC for those if I'm going to use it for PC gaming?
Is $100 for the schitt fulla worth it to power the SHP500-boompro headset? Or $40 syba Sonic?
Love the 9500's.
now the real question is... how about the Fidelio X2HR? did they fuck that up?
Yes pls! And: original X2s are still available for ~100 bucks less. Which ones to buy? X2 or X2HR?
Minor comfort change + Hi Res sticker. Buy original X2 and save $100+
Kien Han that's what i've been hearing. originals are almost always out of stock on amazon though
themightyseahorse where are you finding X2s for sale? I can't find them anywhere other than eBay
themightyseahorse yoww! Where can u buy orig x2 for 100$?
any idea how long it will be for the v moda cable to be available on amazon again
Question , Why dont u review Quadral loudspeakers ? Here in the neterland's / germany they ar very popular , i have a set of Shogun Prestige Gold , very pleased with them .
Also have a set tannoy's GRF but my room is to small for those .
Because never heard of?
Hey guys I really want this pair of headphones, but the only place where they are available is Ali express. Is Aliexpress reputable for headphones?
to straiten my cords, i get a clothes hanger and two clothespins or metal band paper clips (not the small little wire ones, black with chrome folding handles), pin it from the thick part of the plastic on the plug (not the wire of course) then i clip the other to the other end of the thick plastic of the plug, and hang it in my closet.. come back in a few days.. maybe a week at most.. usually does the trick, but i see a diff after 3 days of this so..
some wires wont work with this method.. but a lot do.
:: I know there is a price difference, but how does the SHP9500s compare to the HD-668B ?
so the v-moda cable angled end is made for the output and not the headphones....
Is the sennheiser hd58x or hd6xx worth the extra money? And if so. I hear very conflicting reports about the hd6xx without amp. Some say it's fine some say its horrible. So could the hd6xx be used on my computer without an amp?
Either still on sale or back on sale on Newegg for $52. As of 1/6/18
Hey what bookshelf speakers does he have on his desk there?
Are the modded shp 9500 better or worse for gaming compared to stock?
Got my 9500s's referbished on Newegg for $30. Couldn't be more happy with them for that price. Although I still prefer both the sound and comfort of my HD650's over them.
Does anyone know how the Syba Sonic stacks up against the FiiO E10K?
Confused... I'm assuming you use the MPOW BT to allow your cans to perform cordless, but then you add the ModMic5 to become uncordless again? Or does the ModMic5 somehow plug into the MPOW BT module? From the reviews I've read, the MPOW BT's mic is crap.
Speaking of the MPOW mic, how bad is it?
Z Reviews, did I make a mistake buying the Superlux instead of buying these headphones?
Still using my shps or my gaming, seriously it's the best thing ever.
I bought a turtle beach headset on clearance for 50 or less bucks, only used it for a few days and went back to my Phillips. It seriously is the best thing.
Only thing I tinker with is the voice option on Xbox one, since some games have louder effects than most (BF1 is one where I put the voice volume louder, pubg I can go one or two notches above 0).
I need to find something that'll absorb my sweat from the fabric, always leaving a oily/blotchy spot if I lay them on paper or something else that'll absorb lol.
So is there a sound difference between the two models?
my audio technica 500x is dying a slow death from use...
decided to replace it... randomly stumbled upon this video... to lazy to actually research, got both this and that cheap DAC a coming...
I put some faith in you random internet person, don't let me down.
TheKillerKlok so... How is it?
You chose a pretty fucken decent random internet person to put faith in when buying headphones tbh
Well, how are they?
Sound quality out of the box, not great, with EQ Decent, Comfort = Best in class.
@@TheKillerKlok Thanks man, appreciate the response!
well based on yr review i got shp 9500 but it sounds dull right from the box, how many hours it takes to break in ? i did compare with my old hd558 and its huge difference in sound clarity
tried on pc as well my arcam avr30 with and master quality source .do i miss something or i expect too much from cheap headphones
Hey Zeos,
Will you get a pair of HD660 ?
Bro, i have 5 speakers sony ss-ms5 from a friend, now i dont know much about these, they sound cool, but i wanted your opinion, can u please tell me something about them ? sony ss-ms5 , i cannot find any review. They aren't big, are little speakers, maybe becouse they haven't got any Bass , i am trying to learn , if u can respond to me. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Philips SHP9500S or Sennheiser HD 598 SR (Open Back)?
