Philips SHP6000 Wired Headphones Studio Monitor & Mixing DJ Stereo Headsets Over Ear Headphones Wired Noise Isolation with High Resolution Audio, Deep Bass and Superior Comfort

I AM really pleased with these headphones.. I already have a pair of old Sony MDR-CD280 (cheapos), and an old pair of Sennheiser HD-580 (not so cheap).. both open backs.. I actually bought these Philips to test for my niece, to see if it will work with a record player build I'm doing, and if I didn't like them, I'd send them back, if I liked them, I was going to give them to her.. I didn't think I'd be keeping them and buying another pair for her! I like these that much. Sound profile from low to high is different than my cheap Sony phones.. more bottom end, less emphasis on the top.. more balanced.. not quite the equal of the Sennheisers in high frequencies but the Philips cost a fraction - so not really a fair comparison - you'll still get the highs and they come through sweet enough. Honestly, if I were forced to use these headphones as my main pair, I'd be happy. Good value for the performance, in my opinion. Good build quality, the leather (or pleather?) is nice and soft. I like the understated looks of these as well. Very satisfying purchase.

These are $40 headphones, they aren’t mind blowing. I was hoping that these things would punch above their price range, but I’d say that these are worth $40, and not a dollar more. There’s nothing wrong with the build quality, if anything it’s more than I expected, but headphones are for listening to audio which I don’t enjoy doing with these.First, the ear cups are not the most comfortable, they’re shaped odd and my small ear barely fits in. Second downside, the biggest one, is the sound quality. It sounds muffled when listening to music. I’ve heard other say this has a neutral sound stage, but to me it sounds overly bass heavy, and the mids and highs are drowned out as a result. I think this is likely due to the closed back design, but I’ve never heard such a muffled closed back headphone before. That really makes it hard for me to like or recommend these, since relying audio signals clearly is the #1 job for a pair of headphones. One other thing to note is that these headphones fit loose, as in they’ll fall off your head if you tilt your head forward. I have a pair of 12 year old HD 598s that have a tighter fit than these things.Overall though I’d still give 4/5 simply for the price, high build quality, and okay audio quality. If you need a pair of cheap headphones that sound better than AirPods, and are built well, then this pair would be acceptable. If you’re looking for the best price to audio quality headphones, then I wouldn’t recommend these.

My 2 sons are sharing the room with each other and my youngest son usually sleeps early, but my older son would like to watch TV until late at night. He has a bluetooth headphone, but often times forgets to charge them. I was searching for a wired headphones with long cables and found this. I was surprised that at $39, this headphones has studio quality sound.The packaging looks nice, with the typical Philips branding. The package contains the headphone, and a 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter. Seeing the adapter gave me a hint that this headphones is for studio use. I immediately tested different genres of music, and I was right. The sound is very balanced, or let us say it is flat, this is a good thing as as you can easily customize the sound in a lot of different ways using equalizers. One thing that struck me most is how good this headphones is for watching movies. Watching movies with Dolby Atmos (only on select movies) turned on really made the experience more immersive. The ear cups is a little stiff for my liking, but it is comfortable in long periods of time. The head band is lined with soft cushion for more added comfort.Overall, this headphones serves my primary requirement of having a long cable, but having a great balanced sound is of course a very big plus. If you are looking for a great sounding wired headphones for home use (cable is 3m long), then this is definitely for you.
