OneOdio Pro-50
Score: 68/100Rankings
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 Pro-50 is a budget-friendly wired over-ear headphone with strong bass, high sensitivity, and swivel ear cups for DJ monitoring. Its drawbacks include a plastic build, lack of wireless/ANC features, and occasional cable reliability issues. Ideal for budget-conscious DJs, home-studio engineers, and listeners who prioritize wired performance over premium features.

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 Monitor series for its high sensitivity, easy drivability from low-power sources, and the practical 90° swiveling ear cups that aid single-ear DJ monitoring. The Hi-Res certification and extended 20-40 kHz frequency range are highlighted as strengths, while the slight treble boost and plastic-heavy build are noted as drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the strong bass, clear vocals, comfortable protein cushions and versatile cable options, considering the headphones a great value for the price. Common complaints revolve around a lightweight plastic chassis, occasional cable detachment, treble harshness on bright music, and confusion over the listed maximum input power.
“superb for hours of listening”
“The Monitor 60 delivers pretty good frequency response that matches direct recordings, with vibrant bass without excess but a slight 4‑5 kHz bump.”
“Comfortable protein cushions let me wear them for hours without ear fatigue.”
