The Philips SHP9600 are open-back, over-ear wired studio headphones offering a spacious soundstage and excellent comfort at a low price. Their open design causes sound leakage and they miss modern wireless features. Ideal for home audiophiles and casual studio monitoring.
The OneOdio A71 is a wired, closed-back over-ear headphone with a detachable boom mic, offering a wide soundstage and strong bass at a budget price. Its plasticky construction and occasional reliability issues may deter users seeking long-term durability. Best suited for gamers and entry-level home-studio users who value portability and a built-in mic.

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.
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.
Professional reviewers praise the A71 for its surprisingly wide soundstage, solid isolation and strong bass-vocal balance, especially given its low price. However, they criticize the plasticky construction, inconsistent spec listings and potential durability concerns, noting it feels less robust than benchmark models like the ATH-M50x.
Everyday users love the comfort of the rotatable pads, the effective isolation and the convenience of the foldable design, but many complain about early-life failures such as speaker breakage and the overall heavy, plasticky feel of the headphones.
