Cool. Have a pair of Philips SHP9500, but a friend who’s been helping me wants me to try the 6XX, which would be a huge bump. He ruined me by letting me hear what some crazy quality gear sounded like and now I can’t go back. He’s stuff was more than I’ll spend any time soon, but he’s helping me find the best stuff for my price range.

They’d be a decent upgrade for sure. Nothing beats the SHP9500’s comfort, but the jump you’d get in midrange, vocals and detail is pretty huge.

I have trouble going back to the SHP9500 myself, but it was nice little starting point. With some EQ to tone down the treble, I still use them for longer sessions when working or gaming since they’re so light. However, they fall a bit short when critical listening nowadays. But now I’m going off topic lol.

Either way, hope you like whatever you decide!
