These are an absolute STEAL for the price!

Hmmm, one question to the owners though: are the earpads removable?

 

[Kalakaka]

I just ordered a pair from Massdrop for $69.99.  Looking forward to hearing how they sound.

You don't like earpads?

 

[nihontoman]

You don't like earpads?

Dunno, they look good, bit that's not the point. I wwould like to have an option of removeable earpads so that when these get wear and tear,itis not too dificult to change them for new ones...

Im saving for this shp9500 and buy them at the end of the month.
If anyone have tried to remove the earpads? Is just for long term, and for moding them with vinyl earpads if theres avaliable

These cans are selling for 70$ for next 2 days. Can`t mention where but use google

 

[StarMatt]

Welp, I just bought these. Hope they'll prove worthy. Anything to add to comfort me in my choice while they arrive ?

 

[Marco Angel]

Somebody could post a review of them?
 
confort wise, they should be quite confy if follows their las SHP headphones.
I would like to have the earpads replaced to vinyl, but that is just a wish =)

 

[StarMatt]

That would be nice I'll give my impressions when I get them.

This headphone seemed interesting so i got a pair from that place...Really curious about how this is gonna compare to the Q701s

Got mine, do these settle in with burn-in? Mine are too bright and seems to be lacking bass with the DX100 and something like 20hrs on them. The soundstage leaves a lot to be desired... specially for open backs. I'll take em home and try it out on the Project Polaris amp and see what happens (Polaris is warm and fast in nature so should be a good match). 

I think the Q701s are superior to these in many ways..but that's just initial impressions, off memory, and on different equipment in the chain from having the Qs before. So far the SHP9500 seems thin, bright, lacks a bottom end, soundstage is ok despite thinking it would be great at soundstage/imaging because of the angled drivers... We'll see what 100hrs or so will do to the sound. To me it sounds like a dry version of the Shure SRH1440...

Definitely, my shp8900 had to be burned in for like 100hrs. Just listen to them now, then leave them all weekend sounding at high but listable, not cliping music (an amp will help) and then post us your comments
=)

So I ordered a pair and hopefully get them around this Friday or Saturday. Lets see how they sound, which I really cant compare to any other headphones that i own beside the X1, MA900, PC350 SE (headset). Hopefully I will like them as to not returning them
