I love that you also test headphones against movies and games. Most audiophile gear reviewers exclusively test against music and I am not a music-only audio lover.

[shreyasmahimkar]

I don't know why but the 9500's look frickin amazing and those goofy L and R even make them better for some reason 😂

[audioaficionado]

Just got a pair of SHP9600 for my wife and then my son got a pair too. Thx Joshua 👍

Great deal now that they're under $100.

I saw that X3 in the background there, meaning a review is coming soon :)

[OliverOats]

This is the exact review/comparison I have been looking for on the 9600. This has a ton of good information on all three of these headphones, all of which I have been considering as options. Thanks!

[ragecandy]

58x break the headphone economy under $200 (more tbh), I legit prefer mine to my hd600, similar but with decent bass and without the peaky higher mids...
9600 need to go under $100 to be a deal

[tarokamara]

Honestly, I like playing games and listening to music. Those 9600’s lookin so classy!

[mushimaster]

Great content man, you deserve more recognition and subs. Your camera, editing and voice work are all incredible

[KindOldRaven]

Got the SHP9500 because they were basically giving them away for free on Aliexpress at some point and despite the build quality feeling budget-as-hell I still can't get over the fact that they sound as good as they do, even without mods.

[rafaeltavares]

I need to watch this video again. It's really late and you go so deep that I get lost in thought. Very good video sir. Keep it up 💪🏿

[osutx]

Great explanations! This helped me feel good about recently buying the SHP9500 for gaming instead of the HD58X

[guslycardin]

4:32 a lot of people forget that when it comes to audio. If you enjoy it, nothing else matters!

[hamzamehboob]

Great videos I was surprised by your number of subscriber , you should have reached millions by now judging by your content keep up the hardwork and you should reach it in no time

Own 58x and it's my cheapest headphone. Everytime I listen I am still impressed with its performance. Very intimate and can be claustrophobic in some cases. Vocals are absolutely amazing. Literally sounds like they are the microphone. Be warned - the 58X is a gateway drug. You will soon up your budget wanting more. After that it can get out of control quickly. Now own Focal Clears and 5 other headphones. You have been warned.

The 58X is the most chill headphone, (or anything audio) I’ve ever heard. I still prefer the 558s for the better comfort, the bit of soundstage that just allows the separate instruments to have breathing room, and I prefer it’s portrayal of stringed instruments over the 58X. Great video as always.

[rodrigoambriz]

The B-roll on these videos is on point!

[AIRFORCEFREAK]

Love some good ole headphone comparison videos. I know you have probably done so many you are running out but always appreciate them.

I went with the 9600s. It has great separation and bass which hardly any open back can accomplish both. The way I use them is for movies and games and occasionally I listen to music from Apple Music(pro tip, the “rock” equalizer sounds the best with this headphone)

[Dub]

I still, own my 58x. However, I gave up on my 9500's. They sounded good, but the sibilance was a bit harsh to my liking. The 58x is great in each area that was mentioned.

[bamz]

Been looking for some solid reviews for awhile for my next pair of headphones, and this is a damn good one.
