Great Value, Great Sound
922408
Bought this radio for my 2007 Kia Sorento.  It sounds great with the factory speakers giving them much more depth of sound than the factory piece of junk that was in there.  Love the front input for my MP3 player.  The other comments about how it is difficult to find the presets is somewhat true however, they are not impossible to figure out and once you do they are just fine.  I had no trouble figuring out how to flip through the presets, my only difficulty was in setting them the first time as the manual was somewhat confusing.  I spent a couple minutes on it and then was able to figure out the right combination of buttons.

I bought these hoping the sound would be as good or better than my Klipsch S4A-II buds I ruined at work. I couldn't spend $100+ again so I started looking for closeouts on older models. These had good reviews and were only $25. They were supposedly $100 list when they came out.
I was pleasantly surprised at the sound. They have a strong mid range. The bass is strong, but not over powering. I think that helps provide the great mids. Initially the high end was not as clear as the Klipsch's so I was disappointed. But after listening to some cd's through my laptop and a DAC I realized it was just the quality of the mp3's I had been listening to. I think the wood body helps produce a balanced sound that's not harsh.
Other notable items: The cord is braided cloth, I haven't formed an opinion on that yet. The plug is gold plated and at a 45 degree angle, which I like and feel puts less strain on the cord at that point.
While I'm sure there are better ear buds out there, you can't go wrong with these at this price.

This little guy puts out big sound. I was very pleasantly surprised at the clarity and bass response. Add to that - water and dust resistant. What a great value!

I recently decided it might be cool to have some wireless speakers. I really like the 2.1 design so I was drawn to the Sykik speakers because they seem to offer so many variations on this configuration. I'm a drummer and sound quality is important to me, with an emphasis on bass. I'm also old enough to have grown up with cassette tapes, so I can sacrifice a certain amount of sound for other factors. The major considerations here were certainly price and the wireless bluetooth connection. I was dubious, but figured at $60 I would take a shot. I'm so happy I did. These sound great. I'm running them through my "torture test" tunes; lost of bass-heavy stuff, marimba, a Capella, and they are handling everything admirably.

I'm certain I could have gotten marginally better sound for considerably more money, but that wasn't going to happen right now. They're impressively loud given their size, the bass is impressive and quite clear with only the slightest hint of rattle when pushed to the extreme.

Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase. I would recommend these speakers unreservedly.

These work as described.  They connect via Bluetooth easily and the sound is great.  I'm no audiophile, but I'm really happy with these headphones.  I like that they come with a cord to use on the plane, etc.  Battery life is great.  I think they're a great value.

Great value. I'm not an audiophile, but these suit my need perfectly and sound is much better than most I've used.

I've owned these headphones for over a year and they are an absolute great value.  For the price you won't find headphones that sound as good.  They have a nice sound stage and the bass is good but not overpowering.  The highs are crisp but not too bright.  Overall, these are great for everyday listening to all styles of music: classical, rock, rap, techno, and Jazz.

I listened to many headphones at Best Buy and these headphones sound better than all but the $400+ headphones.  Go ahead and buy them!

I bought these to replace my Sennheiser HD590's (discontinued) which died after 10+ years of use.

I was NOT disappointed.

These are quite the value for the money... Which is to say they sound amazing and are well worth getting, for ANYBODY.

I've done some extensive listening tests over the past few days, also comparing these to Koss KSC75's and Superlux HD681's. (I know, not fair, those are both cheaper headphones than these). The conclusion is the SHP9500 is superior to both of those, but also I would say superior to the Sennheiser HD590.

The most impressive thing about the sound that I noticed is that things just sound "right" while listening to these headphones. Every mix I threw at it, just sounded lush and full. Like the instruments all just fell in place. In addition, I listened to a bunch of my own songs on it and they all sounded "correct". Nothing sounded un-balanced.

As far as the sound itself... I think the bass is adequate. (I have heard others say these headphones are bass lacking, but I disagree). The mids are perfect. The highs are ever so slightly bright, but only on some songs. So they might need a global EQ to turn the highs down, but as I said, it's very slight. (Nothing like the exaggerated messed up highs on the Superlux HD681).

Comfort: I read a lot of reviews saying these are insanely comfortable. Here I'll have to disagree. They are OK comfortable, but they don't "melt off my head" or anything like that. I thought the Sennheiser HD590's were more comfortable. My head is large, but I didn't think it was THAT large -- But anyway, the SHP9500's do have a little bit of clamping force on my head. I'm considering bending the headband a little bit to make it more comfortable, but I don't want to break the plastic. So I haven't done it yet. I'll report back if I do decide to do this.

Overall, I would highly recommend these headphones to anybody. They should please the vast majority of "regular users" (non audiophiles) who are looking for a nice headphone. The only exception is those who are looking for exaggerated bass, I guess should go get some "Beats".

I think they will also satisfy many or most audiophiles as well. Technology is always improving, so it was only a matter of time before somebody came up with an amazing headphone at a great price. I've heard reviews that say these are better than Sennheiser HD600/650 and AKG K701 which are 5x the cost of the 9500's. While I've never listened to those, I wouldn't be surprised. They're that good.

In conclusion, the SHP9500's are excellent value, but they're also just excellent in general regardless of the price.

For someone looking to spend $10-$80 on headphones, I would recommend the Koss KSC75.

For someone looking to spend $80-$500 on headphones, I would recommend the Philips SHP9500!

Very good sound, great design, and a fantastic price. I don't play a great deal of music with a heavy bass, but sounds great with everything that I've listened to. The ear pieces are a really good smaller adult size, and the overall light weight makes these headphones very comfortable to wear. I'm a woman, and had have a bit of difficulty finding headphones that are comfortable.

A word of advice though, these seem to be rather delicate. Normal everyday use is absolutely no problem, but for anyone that is hard on their headphones, you might want to look elsewhere.

We looked at those $100 plus headphones for our trip to Jamaica but decided to take a chance on these.  So glad we did.  They sound great, if a little quiet when I played movies, are comfortable and the price is right.  The plug's housing was too big to fit into my iPad and iPhone case but an adapter fixed that.  My wife's case, however, didn't pose the same problem.  The cord is long but I'm glad it's not a coiled cord.  I used some velcro strips to manage the extra and it worked out well.  You can't go wrong for the price.  These sounded as good as any of the $100-$300 headphones we listened too at a disposable price.  Maybe if your an audiophile, you won't like these but for the rest of us, these are all you need.

Possibly the best value I have ever purchased in headphones.  I sought for a wireless option after tossing yet another set of headphones into the box of headphones I planned to return 'someday'.
It has an unbelievable array of capabilities on the headset, but take some getting used to to function properly.
Pairing the Bluetooth was gratifyingly simple.  Battery life is very reasonable.  The phone mic did not pick up well, but I'm still trying it.
I don't hand out 5 stars easily, but I'd happily give this 6; hard to believe you can get all this for $23.

These headphones are great.  They have very strong volume and far better than average sound quality and range for this price point making them a a great value.  They have what appears to be a somewhat new design with a much larger and easier to use button on the right earpiece to play/pause and turn the power/pairing on/off than what is on other models.  I received these at a discount in exchange for an unbiased review.  I always had difficulty using that small button while wearing the others.  They came with a nice little drawstring carrying bag, micro USB charging cord (although any will work) and extra rubber ear inserts.  Very pleased.  I think they are hard to beat for this price range and provide a great sound that most people would enjoy.  When talking on bluetooth I'm told that I sound great, even when on the highway.  One of the things I like most is the weight balance from each end.  This allows me to wear them around my neck and they do not work their way to one side and fall off.

Simply cannot be surpassed for the price.  Great value, great sound for such a small item.  Resilient, easy to use, waterproof, great battery life...what more can you ask for at this price?
And, the fact that you can sync two speakers together is incredible!!!

If you plan to use these with a portable device it's worth noting that the chord is tremendously long, and although you don't need one, an amp is a great benefit with these. Without it, the sound will sometimes lose depth under heavy load (powerful bass, usually). My FiiO E6 is a great match for this pair of headphones. Other than that, the sound quality is outstanding. Beats, eat your heart out - these have twice the audio quality for almost a third of the price. The highs and mids are crystal clear, as are the powerful lows. The headband features paddles and not a traditional support which is tremendously comfortable. You will almost doubtlessly forget you are wearing them.  The first time I used these headphones, it was like I was hearing my music library for the first time - that's how much I was missing with my beats, and every other pair of headphones I've ever owned. I have now started downloading almost nothing but lossless formats because with these I can actually hear the difference, and it's worth it. Absolutely worth even the full $179 list price (I paid around $115, fantastic value) But unless you have an amplified source, make sure to pick up an amp with your purchase!

Okay, if you're an audiophile, you don't want these for your Huge Home Entertainment System.  However, if you're just playing games on your computer, or listening to background music while working, they are the best in their price category.  The bass is actually very solid, the treble isn't tinny, and it has the Logitech brand and quality behind it.  Yes, it only has a single output for the computer (standard green plug for a sound card).  However, the separate volume control/headphone plug is very convenient, and the sound is consistent with other desktop speakers that I've had.

Also, note that the bass is adjustable; you can always tone it down--after some experimentation I found that the treble is actually much crisper than I initially thought.

My one complaint is that the power cord is a little short; I needed a plug extender.  Other than that, it's a very good value for the price point.

I love these so much I've bought two pairs, and my tech-savvy son-in-law was impressed enough with them that he got a pair as well. They fit perfectly, they have great sound, they are an excellent value.

Excellent bluetooth earbuds.
Comfortable, good, solid sound.  These would not compare with a $200 - or $300 pair of high quality audiophile earbuds, but they are really, really, really good.  I'm a trained classical musician (two degrees) and the sound impresses me.  Good for workouts in gym, excellent reproduction of soundtracks, and even listening to classical music.  Also great for cordless language study.  Good design, excellent free case included.  All in all, much better than I expected. Very comfortable.  Stays on ears even with incline situps.  A solid value for the money.  Would buy again.
