    Don't think you going to find anything better for $77, that's for sure

      When on sale via AliExpress, the HIFIMAN HE400SE go for little more, but supply might be winding down for a new model.

      • The HE400SE looks good on specs but u gonna need an DAC to carry it, otherwise the SHP is better with 3.5mm

        • A little bit of extra current out of a $20 dongle these days. The 9500 has a lot of bass distortion for an open back, much like the rest of Phillips' offerings.

          But as I said earlier, I suspect this has been made EoL and an update is in the offing, much like how most of the higher end now has unveiled variants (though I wouldn't expect such an expensive design at this price point).

  • These are a good choice in the $70 - $100 USD range already, so at $48 these are great if you do not have any somewhat Hi-Fi headphones or you just want to get started!

    Apparently these are great with the v moda boompro mic as a gaming headset.

  • Image 6 shows an iPhone and talks about ‘direct push’

    Are these Bluetooth as well?

    hifi precision stereo, i am assuming this has weak bass?

      They're open headphones, so yes

  • I'm pretty clueless when it comes to audio - used USB gaming headphones most of my life. Would I see a noticible improvement in these over the top of the line Razer headphones as far as sound quality?

    Also would I need anything else to drive these? Or can I wack them straight into the integrated soundcard on my motherboard?

      The green 3.5mm plug on the back of your motherboard.

      IMO don't waste your money if you have the Razer

    What I the purpose of these? Surely you don't use them walking around outside? If listening inside, why do you need headphones? It's much more enjoyable to listen using normal speakers, plus you won't be blasting your ears with speakers that are 1cm away from your eardrum. If you want a real stereo sound with normal speakers, you can put one at either end of the room, and sit in the middle.

        On open back headphones? Surely not…

        • Less risk than a real speaker.

      It's a bargain, there needs not purpose… This is the way…

      Headphones don't need room correction.
      You can't lug a class D amp to the backyard
      Superior imaging and precision
      Lower cost of entry

      Everyone lives alone at home and can crank music at reference levels with no complaints right?

      • Ok. I was just curious, because I was considering buying some audiophile headphones like this in the past and was wondering if I would actually use them.

    • Hmm, so this is why tradies blast their portable speaker on the train 🤔

    • What???

      The money you'd have to spend to get speakers at the same quality as headphones is crazy

    These are great in the $50-100 price range. The next upgrade from Philips is Fidelio X2HR (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/X2HR%20type%3Aozbde…) for around $120-150 when on sale

  • I brought these last sale, highly recommended, they are so light and being open-back you can listen to them for hours and sound so spacious.

  • Very good for casual gaming as its light weight and open back. Downside is the earpad and loose fit. If u can upgrade the earpad to a more solid one, the fit will be tighter. Very good headphone all around for the price. Open back for me is both pros and cons. Plus, u need to buy a 3.5cable with boom mic for in-game communication.
