The Philips SHP9600 — real open-back hi-fi at a sane price: 50mm angled drivers, wide natural soundstage, hours of fatigue-free comfort.
- ✓ Open-back — speaker-like soundstage
- ✓ 50mm angled neodymium drivers
- ✓ Easy to drive — no amp required
- ✓ Breathable comfort for album-length sessions
The Philips SHP9600 is the audiophile open secret: a genuinely open-back hi-fi headphone — the architecture of studio and reference listening — at a price closed consumer headphones routinely exceed. Big 50mm drivers, a wide natural soundstage, and the airy, speaker-like presentation only open backs deliver.
Open-back
Sound with space around it
Open backs let the driver breathe both ways: music floats around your head rather than pressing into it. Instruments separate, stages widen — the quality people buy £300 headphones to find.
Drivers
50mm, angled to the ear
Large neodymium drivers angled to fire naturally into the ear canal — relaxed, detailed, fatigue-free over whole albums, which is the open-back promise.
Comfort
Built for hours
A light self-adjusting fit with breathable cushions — open backs don’t trap heat, so evening-long listening stays comfortable.
Right choice if you…
✔ Listen at home, in quiet, for pleasure — the open-back habitat
✔ Want hi-fi soundstage without hi-fi pricing
✔ Drive it from a laptop or phone — it’s easy to power
✔ Value comfort over long sessions
Consider something else if…
✖ You commute — open backs leak sound both ways; the TAPH805 ANC is the travel tool
✖ You record with a mic nearby — leakage reaches it
✖ You want wireless — this is a dedicated wired instrument

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open-back actually mean?
The earcup backs are acoustically open, so sound escapes outward and air moves freely. The result is a wider, more natural stage — and zero isolation, by design.
Will people around me hear my music?
Yes — open backs leak. They’re for rooms where that’s fine, not buses and offices.
Do I need an amplifier?
No — the SHP9600 is deliberately easy to drive. An amp adds headroom but a laptop or phone dongle runs it properly.
Is it good for gaming?
Very — the wide stage places footsteps naturally, which is why open backs are a quiet favourite among competitive players at home.
