There ABSOLUTELY are better. However, not without spending significantly more money.
At $61 these are a must buy if your looking to dip your toes into better audio.

It is an upgrade but the Phillips are extremely comfortable for long sessions of ANYTHING (music, video games, zoom, etc...) and since the cable is detachable you can add a v-moda mic https://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Boo.../B00BJ17WK and create the ultimate Zoom headset. The fact they are open back means you can still hear yourself and not end up yelling. I shared an office with my wife during most of Covid and had to switch to the open backs or found myself yelling.
These let in all noise, cause you know open back, so not for loud places but if you don't own an open back pair and want to grab on these are the ones to get
If on a Windows PC I do suggest trying out of the EQ settings

It's a little wonky but worth it
the build on the 9500's is superior compared to m50's. the earpads and headband are both cloth, so they won't rub off like the cheap pleather on the m50's. the hinges also don't crack or break as easily as on the m50's. the earpads are softer on the 9500's, so you can wear them for longer periods of time. the 3.5mm port allows you to use any replacement cable, and even a mic attachment. this allows the 9500's to be turned into a very good gaming headset, especially when combined with something like vmoda boom mic.
i am not a pro music listener, but to me, the sound quality between the two is very similar, except that the 9500's are obviously open-back headphones, so some sound will leak out.

general rule of thumb with headphone is never buy from a company that doesn't sell professional studio gear, the only exception is Bose since they make headphones for Sonar and Aviation markets but even than Sony has a better package
