Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO vs Philips SHP9500

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO and the Philips SHP9500 are both very good audiophile headphones if you like a balanced sound, but they have slightly different sound profiles. The Beyerdynamic cans have a more robust build meant for professional settings. They also reproduce more bass, but their treble response sounds fairly sharp to some people. The Philips have a significant bass roll-off, but their treble is a bit less sharp, and they have a more open sound. They're also somewhat less fatiguing to wear for long listening sessions since they fit less tightly than the Beyerdynamic.
