Are the SHP9500 still being made?
ye
technically SHP9500S now
since they made a new version with a different cable
and maybe some other shit i dunno about
9500's arent that good tho tbh
I had the HD598SE before I got the X2s
neither are x2's imo but im a player hatin whore
How do the 9500 compare to the 598?
much more treble grain
less comfortable
images better but worse soundstage
removable cable tho which is nice
slightly colder in tonality
ive got shp9500w
9500s*
i like em
ive never tried the 598s or anything
i should walk into the headphone shop and try these things tbh
i like my x2s that i dont give a shit bout others right meow
And comfy when you start to use them after a while
yer
they are super comfy mayne
what are 598s like?
People say that 598s are really light and comfy and they are, but they're weird for me in that if you wear them for a few hours, you start to feel some pressure on the side of your face that's pretty uncomfortable
yeah some people have issues with 598 clamp for some reason
i never felt that way
mine literally used to fall off my head
M50s were the absolutely worst for me :😄
shp9500 are light and dont clamp too hard
actually for some not hard enough
if you dont have a small head then they are fine
yeah 9500's didnt clamp hard at all for me
they arent as plush as the X2s or anything
but comfort is def not an issue
and ive got a pretty fuggin big melon
you didnt like the shps hektik?
i havent tried many competitor headphones so i guess my opinion dont count as much
nah, i wasnt a huge fan
whats a betteralternative to the shp9500
