Philips SHP9500 vs Philips Fidelio X2HR

The Philips SHP9500 and the Philips Fidelio X2HR are both great open-back headphones for neutral sound listening. The Fidelio X2HR have a sleeker and more premium design, and they look and feel a bit more durable. Their bass range also provides more punch. While the X2HR have an auto-adjusting headband, the SHP9500 are a little bit more comfortable overall, as they don't clamp the head as tightly, and their treble range is a bit more even, but this can depend on your preferences. Both perform very similarly, but the SHP9500 likely represent better value overall.
