I was initially contemplating on buying either this one or another philips headphone which is a foldable behind-the-head type, in a music store. I went for the latter because of the price, how compact it can be folded, and the single cord design. from Amazon.com I have been on a mission to find the best set of MP3 headphones. My criteria has been weight, sound quality, cord length, and comfort. These Philips SHL 9500 headphones meet and exceed my expectations of an MP3 headphone. The sound quality is unbelieveable for headphones this small and light. from Amazon.com The problem for me is that since I will be using them in the office not only do I need isolation... they also need to contain my music as well. This is the area where the Philips phones come up a little short. Any volume pass 1/4 of max and your neighbors will probably be able to sing or in my case rap along. from Amazon.com I use these with my Sansa Fuze at home, work and in between. The headphones to a decent job at blocking moderate external noise. Lightweight, comfortable and priced right. I may buy a second pair. from Amazon.com I have a pair of Sennheiser HD580 Precision Audiophile Headphones. Yes, I am a bit of a snob. But, and this is a big but, these Philips SHL9500's, which I bought for the purpose of using with portable devices, are without a doubt the best headband headphones I have ever had on my head--for the buck. Period. from Amazon.com I am listening to them on an old Archos 20 gig recorder, and 95% of the tunes are coded at 320, with Rockbox firmware loaded, so I can really fine tune the sound. Also attached is a Total AirHead amp. Very comfortable and lightweight. from Amazon.com I have to compare these to the Sennheiser PX-100s because that is what these Philips are replacing. I need over the ear headphones that are foldable for stowing in a pocket. from Amazon.com Try the old sonys for a second.. rewind the song. put the Philips ones on.. ok.. from Amazon.com I purchased the Philips SHL9500/37 headphones to replace my current set of Sony MDR-A34L Vertical In-the-Ear Headphones. I was interested in over-ear rather than in-ear speakers. from Amazon.com THey don't fit close enough to the ears for my taste - so all the background noise is very apparent. from Amazon.com
