Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the SHP9600 for its exceptional comfort, easy driveability, and neutral, spacious sound signature, emphasizing the 50 mm drivers and low impedance as strengths. However, they criticize the open‑back design for sound leakage, the modest bass response, and the lack of premium build materials and modern wireless features, positioning the headphones as a value‑driven option for critical listening rather than a high‑end flagship.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently praise the headphones for their comfort and wide, detailed soundstage, describing them as superb for long home listening sessions. Common complaints revolve around sound leakage, modest bass, and occasional cable durability issues, with many noting the product is best suited for stationary use rather than on‑the‑go scenarios.
Common Complaints
Sound leakage from the open‑back design, modest bass performance, durability concerns with the detachable cable, and the absence of wireless connectivity or active noise cancellation.
